It's Been Too Long

Hello Everyone

I'm very sorry it's been so long since I last blogged. I don't have a good excuse really, except that I have 5 classes this semester as opposed to 4 last semester. There have been some new things in my life as late, or at least sort of new. So here's the lowdown.
-I went on a trip to North Bay to visit my friend Alicia.
It was fun. I saw snow banks taller than me and watched her rabbits go at it. It was her boyfriend's idea. I met him too. He's cool. An enormous improvement over her previous boyfriend Drew who was a major ass-face. Although, as her friend Corey pointed out, a gopher would have been an improvement over that jerk. (Don't worry I said that to her face.) So that was good times, especially since I hadn't seen her since August. We went out to a bar (after drinking Peach Schnapp's in lemonade, which sounds really sketchy but actually tastes pretty good - besides, lemonade was all we had) and it happened to be pseudo-'retro' night, meaning music from like 5-7 years ago. We jammed to tunes like "Baby When the Lights Go Out" and "Ghetto Superstar". We almost didn't care that we were the only ones dancing.
-This weekend I am going to Simcoe to chill with my cousins, the Cooks and a hot tub.
I'm pumped. Jenelle might come too. Haven't seen those guys in what seems like forever. Much time will be spent watching The OC, Will & Grace, Rent, I Heart Huckabees and whatever else we can get our hands on. They are renting a hot tub so that's awesome. And Nathan owes me an Apple Toffee Tart a la Jamie Oliver. Rock on.
-In a few weeks I am headed to the Wa. Woot.
My friend Stephy is coming with me. Nelle can't make it this time but I'm sure we'll be back. We get to see Chel (and also her baby-tummy). I may also have some interviews for a summer job over there. I think that April will lead us in making Jamaican Jerk Pork since she wasn't too down with eating it for breakfast (as I suggested we do). I think I would also like for them to show me some nightlife, and we should make fancy drinks. Girly ones. Boo-ya-ka.
-In a month and a half, I am headed to Moncton with Jenelle and Judy for Graham's graduation.
I am sooooo pumped. Judy's boyfriend is going too. Nelle and I will be taking a train WITH A BEDROOM! there and flying home. We will check out Halifax and get pierced (hehe) and hit up some PEI and all that good stuff. I am so excited! Hurray.
-I quit my job at Zellers. About freaking time!
I'd been thinking about it for awhile, and it's really only a month or so early because in order to afford school I have to work full time in the summer. I handed in my two weeks notice two Saturdays ago so I think tomorrow will be my last shift. I will miss some of the people there but that's about it. Oh, and they sure are fun to spend a night at the bar with. Denim rules!
-I am working towards my license that will enable me to sell life insurance and such.
I wrote my qualifying exam on Sunday and I got a 58%. Unfortunately you need a 60%. So I'll have to try again. If you need life insurance, you know where to find me.
-I'm working out at the YMCA, attempting to go 3-4 times a week.
Usually this literally translates to 2-3 times a week but it's better than nothing. I spoke to a trainer there so he has me doing 2-3 sets of 12-15 reps on 6 different machines: 3 for legs, 2 for arms and 1 for abs. Also I try to do some cardio. Here's hoping I'll see results by bathing suit season. And working out makes you feel awesome. If you don't yet, you should try it.

That should about cover it for the time being. Catch you later.
-Ames
