My Holiday at a Glance

Dec 24 - Drive home with Sana. I ended up meeting a fellow FI at StatsCan who knows all the DND FORD people. I cannot stress this enough: the finance community in Ottawa is small. 

Dec 25 - Crazy family Xmas dinner prepared by moi! It was a long night, but great time to spend with the kids. Regarding their parents though, let's say some things never change. 

Dec 26 - Drinks with the boys + gf at Coopers. I always wondered what these guys would look like in relationships, and I must say it's pretty adorable. 

Dec 27 - BBT with Candy. She's been through a lot since the last time I saw her during Thanksgiving, but it was great catching up. I've never known anyone more honest with their feelings. 

Dec 28 - Engagement day! (more on this later). Hung out with Steph, visited her condo, shopped downtown and met up with the happy couple for dinner at Kinton Ramen. Ran into Mike & friends and ended up going for drinks and Korean fried chicken afterwards with them. 

Dec 29 - Annual dim sum brunch with Thomas & friends at Emerald. Went to Lisha's party at her downtown condo. We played pervartistry and girls won, even though we were outnumbered 6-5. Fun!


The Remainder of My Holidays...
- Lunch at Panera Bread with Becky
- Coffee shop time with Denbo
- Downtown NYE's party with Charis, Seth & friends
- V time
- Hang out with Jacey & Mike downtown
- Drinks with Kevin at West 50
- Maybe Ripley's aquarium with my parents & my youngest brother's family
- Seth's bday at Etsu and karaoke at BarPlus
- Become a beggar on the street after spending too much, become obese from all the delicious food consumed, and pass out from exhaustion.

Goodbye Hello

On Tuesday, I finished my exam by noon (I walked in Marilyn and walked out the hunchbank of notre dame - damn you retarded 1E1 tables). I know I was going to have an adventure but I didn't really feel up for doing much of anything haha. I ran errands all day and by night, Ira went to school to study while I stayed home to pack.

Around 10:30PM, James came over and brought me an ice cap and we had a reaaaaaaaaaaaaly nice talk outside for an hour. =) When he left, I was about to take apart my desk but I realized I didn't have the "L" tool (which I now know is called an allen wrench - trying to explain what it was to 4 different people without knowing what it's called was not fun).



My plan: take apart my desk and go to sleep at 1AM. How naive I was!!!
What happened: I needed the allen tool so I went to Jackie's to pick it up and Ira told me to get her bubbletea. Jackie INSISTED on coming with me (apparently he was very bored at home LOL) and we brought Ira and Cyrus ice cream instead. They were talking about how Penny left to see the meteor showers, so the three of us went to solarium to look too. There was too much light so we walked a little further but it wasn't dark anywhere! We ended up walking and walking, all the way to Waterloo park (and getting super lost in the meantime) where everyone else was. The rest of the night we watched meteor showers and in total, I saw five! It's so fast and it rarely happens so I was SUPER EXCITED.

So yeah, I took apart my desk and went to sleep but at 5AM!!

Wednesday, I packed and cleaned everything by noon. Kevin coincidentally came up to get his things and he gave me a ride to home hardware to get some packing tape. Kevin was so nice, he helped me move some of the really heavy stuff!! My parents remembered him from the first day of school, where we were all moving in at the same time. Fast forward one year later, and we're all moving out... time goes by so quick!

I got back to Mississauga around 1:30PM and my parents took me to Tremendous where we had $11 dimsum between the three of us! (All I can think about is that $100 meal at Cameron we had between the four of us...my goodness). Now I am home, the babies are here and make me happy, my room has stretch marks now because it's jam packed with my crap, and then... off to Europe on Saturday.

The Final Weekend.

I wanted this weekend to be pure studying, but I had a lot of nice distractions to remind me that I only have two more days before I move away from Waterloo forever. I can't wait to be done with school, but I also can't seem to tear myself away from the place I once called a shithole.


I am going to miss it so much. I am going to miss everyone so much.

Yesterday, Jackie had an "end of the summer BBQ" but for a lot of people, it was a last goodbye before we all go our separate ways. Of all the beautiful days we had this week, it decided to rain a mother, but it was all good. I only stayed for a couple of hours because I had to go study, but it was really fun - tons of food, friends, drinks, music, WII! I am going to miss these crazy people.

Tonight, Mike and Jacey invited us over for special dinner. He cooked me all my favourite foods!!! His special croutons dressed with vinegar, french onion soup and RISOTTO!!! Me and Ira brought over ice cream cake that said "Mike and Jacey... YOU ROCK!" which was quite embarassing telling the Baskin Robbins guy to write.

Back to school studying right now. I am finished my exam at noon on Tuesday and I am just going to run around Waterloo like a crazy person taking photos, admiring everything for the last time, and saying goodbye. I am going to do everything I wanted to but never got a chance to... anyone in for a crazy adventure?
