Weekend @ the Cottage

Last weekend Jen invited a bunch of us to her cottage up at Muskoka Lake for the weekend. I drove up with Jimmy, Art and Marta Friday afternoon and lucky for us there wasn't too much traffic :) We were the first group there (we had planned it out so that some of us arrived there at 3, and the rest at 4 b/c Jen's dad had to take us to the cottage by boat.. it's on a island!).

This was my first time going to a cottage (most of my friends are asian.. go fig azn ppl don't own cottages! haha! I want to be the first! haha). OMG I LOVED it! It was the perfect getaway... it wasn't too far that the thought of driving all that way would give u a headache, but it was far enough to get away from your everyday life. I felt so relaxed the whole weekend. I stayed out all day in the sun and in the water... I got quite dark (darker than I am already... I thought that wasn't possible! haha). The water was sooo awesome! I coulda stayed in it forever except the fact that I hate it when I turn all pruney... ewww.. hah! I spent the evening with some good friends drinking it up and playing silly games. The first night we were there we played Pictionary.. and the team I was on actually won! haha! We got some pretty strange ones... like masseuse.... and illusion.. we managed to draw those & guess it somehow! hahah! it was hilarous! The second night we made a nice camp fire and sat around roasting marshmellows :) yum... campfire marshmellows are the best :D Oh if Jen does this next year I'm totally going!! :D

The boat ride back was brutal! Alex, his brother Andrew, Jimmy and I were the first ones to leave (haha all the azns got voted off the island! haha) and we took a water taxi. the waves were kinda high and we were on a speedboat.. Alex, Jimmy and I were sitting at the front of the boat.. man we shot at least half a foot up in the air when the boat hit a wave. I was giggling the ENTIRE time... it was fun but holy mother of god it hurt! haha! Needless to say, after that boat ride back, the drive home seemed uneventful! haha!

Last Week in The Hammer

I'm moving out this Saturday so this is my last week living in the Hammer... Steeltown.. Hamtown.. whatever you want to call it. I was excited about it except I started to feel sad...

Since Alex and I are moving this week (actually Alex left today), my friends are so sweet and planned two nights of fun as a kind of farewell to us. Tuesday night me, Laura, Jen, Alex, Mark, Andrew, Nadira, Cecilia, Art, Marta and Derek headed to the very first Timmies ever opened (Store #1). It was sort of uneventful.. I think we totally built it up as this big thing... but it wasn't... it looked like every other Timmies :( After, we headed to the theatre to catch "The Island" on the big screen. HAHA Laura, Jen and I had quite a adventure getting to the theatre. The theatre is located up the mountain in Ancaster, so we thought we would try to take side roads to get up the mountain. We ended up driving around this neighbourhood and getting nowhere! haha! We FINALLY found a road that went up the mountain.. haha! Anyway, we managed to find our way to the theatre! hooray! haha! So before we went in, Laura and I thought it would be fun to play Dance-Dance-Revolution. OMG it was HILAROUS! Our friends started taking bets to see who would be the better dance.. I was an obvious disadvantage b/c I had a busted knee AND Laura's the tap-dance queen. haha! We started out easy and it was good... then our friends told us to go for the "moderate" level...OMG I made a complete ASS outta myself! haha! It was so fast... and I think I spent more time laffing than actually dancing! hah! Eh it was all in good fun! The Island was a really good movie! Go watch it!! :D

Last night my friend Jenn came to Hamtown b/c I told her my friends were heading to Hess, and she told me she wanted to go out so I invited her to come along :) We started the night at Koi, a pretty pricy bar (but it's nice!). Sometime during our time there, this fat old drunk man came up to us and started talking to us. He told us he had ESP and that he could prove it to us. He said he was gonna turn around, and we had to do something silly behind is back, then he was gonna tell us what we had done. So he turns around, we did something silly, he turns around and says "I know what u did... u did something silly!" HAHA then he walked away! hahh! oh drunken old ppl are hilarous! Afterwards we headed to Elixir for some dancing.. it was so packed :S Made me remember why I'm not too fond of clubbing ne more. Geez am I getting old?

So this morning Jenn and I went out for breakfast in Westdale and that's when it hit me... I'm gonna miss this place. And I felt sad :(

Well back to my thesis writing... I'm strugging with one chapter.. my supervisor keeps sending it back to me telling me to add more. AGH!! :( It's due tomorrow... but I don't feel like writing....
