I felt like this week would never end. It was going well until I got sick; then it got even worse when our house flooded. Smoke alarms going off at 430am is NEVER a good sign. Stepping out of my bed into a puddle is also never a good sign; unless my bed is outside in a rain storm. Turns out all the water shorted out the smoke detectors. We called 9-11. The fire fighters turned off our hydro and water, due to the numerous hazards this created. The management company of the townhouses are huge idiots. I wish I never moved in here. I wanted the ONE bedroom apartment away from here. Now we're living in a different townhouse in the sketchier part of the area. I'm almost finished unpacking. Thank gosh.
Lesson of the day. Even though I say I'm okay at being alone forever, I'm not. I want to be with someone eventually; but I don't think it'll ever happen. This terrifies me.

Best Friends and Backstabbers
I'm definitely having the worst week I've had in a while. I love when people who you think are your friends, really aren't. I'm pretty green when it comes to the whole mating game. I'm not the type of girl to just dive in and go for gold. I typically enjoy getting to know people before I sleep with them. I met this guy last week and I came to the quick conclusion that I'd love to know him. I also made a point of informing my roomies/friends so that I wouldn't get screwed over. Apparently, that doen't work. Now one of my friends is going for him, wben though she's got a boytoy. She's the type of girl who could have any guy she wants; skinny and gorgeous. Of course the guy I was interested in, is now falling "in like" with her. Screwed over. Again. I'm so done with this crap.

The Longest Short Week Ever...
Why does it seem as though this short, 4 day week, lasted about a month? I seriously felt as though it was severely dragging. It was horrible, flat out horrible. Let's do a quick run down of my first week back at college, shall we?
Tuesday
I started out the week strong at 6:30am; sounds fabulous doesn't it? Not particularily, however, I think that the excitement of seeing some of my friends for the first time in four months shook that exhaustion. It starts out with a thrilling 3 hours of Hospital Pharmacy I, with my personal favourite Ms. Hale, at 8:00am. If you survive that part, you have a 3 hour break between classes. Then at 2:00pm we got to go back and reminisce with our favourite prof, Mr. Cottrell for Pharmacology II. (I cross my fingers that you sensed the sarcasm in my voice, FYI.) We get to end our school day with Self-Care Practices II with the one and only Ms. Frances at 4:00pm. If she doesn't make your day, I don't know what will. (Again with the sarcasm.) It's not that she's a bad teacher/person, she's just a little out there.
Wednesday
Day two of this week also starts out at 6:30am, and for some reason it seemed even earlier. Wesnesday is going to be the longest day ever I believe. We have one sinlge 4 hour class at 8:00am; and this particular class is a personal nightmare for me. It's called Sterile Procedures I. Sounds absolutely horrifying, yes? Well maybe not for everyone, but for me it's going to be awful. Why, you ask? Well I have a severe phobia of needles; and that is the basis of the course. To make it even better, it's a two semester course. So, if I do survive these 14 weeks, I have to do it all over again in January. Long story short, I didn't do so well this week. I think I need to meditate or take some sedatives before class.
Thursday and Friday are both placement days. Which means, I don't have class, only my placement. For me, I have placement Monday 5-9pm, Wednesday 4-8pm, Thursday 4-8pm and Friday 4-8pm. I get jipped because my pharmacy took on a pharmacy student from the University. I have the entire day to myself, but then the night time, when I would be getting ready to go out with friends, etc, I am stuck working.
Then it's finally the weekend. I was hoping for a great weekend but honestly, it's been the worst weekend ever. I'm falling apart and I don't know what to do about it... I am praying that this week goes a lot smoother.

Good Bye Norfolk, Hello London!
Well, it's my last day in Norfolk County today! It's beyond exciting. I cannot wait to get to London; I get to see my friends who I haven't seen in SO long. I get to decorate a brand new place. I can't wait to show off how it looks!
Plans for today:
-last minute packing
-work my last shift at the Pharmacy
-hopefully get together with Bri
Yesterday my brother moved to Welland for school. It was probably the most exciting day of my life. Now, I know that sounds absolutely horrible, but I really needed time away from him. I hope he enjoys his time away, but he really has a lot of maturing to do.
This will hopefully be the last time I move out of my house here. I am going to be giving it my all in order to stay in London. I do not want to come back to Norfolk. I can't do it, I need to go out and explore the world on my own.
So, the next time I write, I will be in my new house.
Have a safe and happy Labour Day Long Weekend!

Missed Me, Missed Me; Now You Gotta Kiss Me!
Anyone else used to say that little phrase when they were like 5, when they played tag or other games like that? I'm not really sure why it popped back into my mind, but it did.
So, I realize it's been about 7 or 8 months since I last wrote. A lot has gone on actually. I successfully completed my first year of college. Moved home for the four months of summer. Now, it's time to move back to school! I am beyond excited! It's been a pretty decent summer actually. I worked at the pharmacy all summer, but due to recent pharmacy laws and cut backs of hours, I didn't work all that often. It left me time to have a nice summer outside for once; I have a legitimate tan this year; which is very exciting to me.
I had many fall-outs with friends this summer. I'm not sure what happened, who changed, or what was the main cause of them; nonetheless, they happened.
First was Melissa. I saw it coming, it was like a head on collision waiting to happen. I think it was just that we spent way too much time together and it pushed us apart.
Next was Sara. After the Melissa issue, she tried to blame everything on me, and attempted to get everyone she could on her side. Did we rewind to back when we were 5? Apparently. Sara was one of Melissa's evil mignons and the next fall-out.
After Melissa and Sara, there were a number of larger, yet temporary fights between friends. We ended up making things work, but they were pretty intense arguements.
The most recent fallout was a two for one special. I definitely saw this one coming, but it never made it any easier. Brett and I became friends last yearand we had become quite close over the summer. When I left for college it was hard, but I thought everything would be okay. First semester was hard but things worked out alright. It involved many late night phone calls and a few visits on weekends. We spent a lot of time together over winter break and I thought everything was great. Once second semester began, we started to drift farther and farther apart. When I came home from school for the summer we spent a little bit of time together. Suddenly, he was always busy, never had any time to spend with me. He began to change. He was seeing a new boy and apparently needed to change EVERYTHING about himself. I didn't see him until about a week ago. He invited me over and when I got there discovered that his boyfriend was there also. Whatever, I didn't mind at all, until I also discovered his boyfriend was under the influence of substances to be left un-named. He was acting like a complete jackass and was utterly impossible to be around. I had hoped that Brett could sense that I was very irritated. However, I don't think he did. It was like that was his way of pushing me away. Like he never wanted to see me again. He knows that I am very against some certain substances; and while I was there, his boyfriend was pushing the substances in my face continuously. I was absolutely furious, but I was also completely crushed. I realize it happens on a regualr basis; where best friends drift away due to new relationships. This one just stung more than usual.
Throughout all of the bullshit this summer, I could always count on Bri to be there for me. Last summer was when her and I had the blow-out of all blow-outs, but we reconciled our friendship and it's now stronger than ever. I had an amazing summer with her. We spent a lot of time together and she helped me out a lot. I knwo I can always depend on her and I hope she knows she can always count on me as well. We spent a lot of time at the beach or swimming at my house or just driving, but it was so much fun! I love that girl, and its going to be hard this September because she's going to be attending college in a different city than me... I'm going to miss you, Bri!
Also this summer, I have been continuing my weightloss journey. Quick recap. Last September before beginning school I weighed over 300 pounds. Currently I weigh 270 pounds. I feel a lot healthier already, but I'm hoping to continue my weightloss this year!
I suppose with everything that happened this summer, it has all made me a stronger, happier and better person. It's been quite the ride, but I wouldn't have changed anything really... Everything happens for a reason.
