Don't you just love goodbyes?

Just a note, but Genina gave me this book for Chritsmas called "Audrey, Wait!" and it's a book I've been wanting to read since I got this promo CD for it in like, Grade 10. It has a bunch of awesome quotes from these rock/alternative songs before every chapter starts, so I thought I'd use them as the titles for my future posts, until all 41 chapters end! FYI, I finished the book like two hours ago, and it was actually pretty good. Hilarious to say the last, but definitely good and something I'd re-read during boring times. And as you can see, the very first quote to start off the very first chapter in the book was "Don't you just love goodbyes?" written by Mew, in this song called "156." Yahootie!

So, of course, HAPPY BELATED NEW YEAR EVERYONE! :) I really hope it was amazing for you all. I know had some great family moments and I'm thankful for them, and I hope 2010 will go just as smoothly as 2009 did. This is my - I mean - OUR graduating year (yes, you!) so we better make it or break it Grads of 2010! And I effing mean it!

Just a slew of late Happy Birthdays to my besterest friends, BARKHA AND AMAJYOOOOOT, lave you guys. Spent too much of my break using my debit just to pay for their presents, dinners, karaoke rooms and movie tickets. Duuuude I'm so low in my bank right now, not even kidding. But at least I'm cashing it in once in a while at tutoring... woohoo!! This will be one good reason for school to return! I get my job back!!

So yeah, speaking of school, like I said in an earlier post, I only got English homework, and that was to write a paragraph as to why I chose whatever book I chose for my Winter Reading Assignment, and then read that book before break ended. And then a few Lit Grids but basically that's the bulk of it, and it was pretty easy... I knew I could finish the book, it would just take me some time. As for the paragraph and Lit Grids that I still haven't done, well, those should be easy peasy and I SWEAR I'LL DO THAT TOMORROW. I am NOT doing them in m spare, on the first day back at school... yeah right! I'm gonna chow down at 711, as is the usual these days at school. What!? I can't help that it's a five minute walk and every piece of candy there is uber cheap. I gotta cash in on that one.

Congratulations to me, for I FINALLY, FINALLY, FINALLY. APPLIED. TO SIMON FRASER. I've been talking about it for months, telling myself I wouldn't want until the end of December, telling myself I would do it well before Feb 28th, the deadline to be accepted into the Fall Semester, but lookie. I waited. I waited and waited and waited, and while I do feel a bit behind everybody else in this whole "applying to university business," at least I know I've applied, paid the application fee and now must self-report my grades in the hopes of an early offer to be accepted, and I can be... almost done with it. I still dunno which path to follow in terms of courses, the only thing I know is that for sure I want whatever I do to be under the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. Go me for figuring that one, simple thing out only :P

ANYBODOY WANNA KNOW WHAT I GOT FOR CHRISTMAS? Okay!! BWHAAHA. I almost forgot to write about it, but lookie, I didn't! Suckers!! So I shall list them in the most organized way I can, but I might get so excited describing what I got, it might just get messy, so I apologize beforehand!

I opened presents from friends first, and this is what I got from them:

- Vanilla body lotion, moisturizer and perfume, HELLO KITTY STICKERS, and this pouch of bath soap and cinnamon flavoured chapstick from MON AMAZING AMIE, Amanjyot!! <333

- POST-ITS and this book I really wanted the minute I saw it called The Valley of Secrets!! From the bestersEt friend ever Kimberly Martinezzzzzzz! Be jealous dudes. With those post-its, every book I own from now own will be the most noted one you'll ever see.

- Reader's Digest, which actually has a lot of great, condensed short stories in there that really interest me! From this loser I'm sadly friends with. HAHA, KIDDING.

(Everything else after this is are presents from family!)

- New earphones, since I lost my black ones some time ago, which forced me to stop listening to my iPod :( But these ones are white and have those padded white things to make my ears more comfortable, yahootie!!

- MULTICOLOURED, THICK SHARPIES. Twelve of them in a pack, to be exact! I've always wanted them 'cause somehow I find that I always need them for school projects and never have them when I need them to just be creative. THIS will make my life much easier!! Plus I'm sure I can use it for my own creative purposes!

- A NEW WALLET. I PROMISE not to lose this one. I really, really, really am guarded about things like that now, and because this one is JUST AS BEAUTIFUL if not MORE beautiful than my lost Coach wallet, I will be extra careful with it!

- This book called "Audrey, Wait!" which I already talked a bit about. I finished it in a day and it's aaaaawesomely funny, and now I have a bunch of great lyrics I can now use for my blog posts! Yahootie!

- A MIND-STIMULATING BOARD GAME, FOR FREAKING FINALLY. It's Trivial Pursuit, the 25th Anniversary Edition, and it's really colourful and difficutl! :P HAHA. I tried reading the instructions on how to play, and it's actually pretty difficult, but I'm determined to finally play a game that tests my trivial knowledge! THEY HAVE ALL THESE GREAT, BUT DIFFICULT QUESTION CATEGORIES TOO. It'd be a miracle if I actually got more than one right :P HAHA.

...........

And yes. I'm PRETTY sure that that is all I got for Christmas this year! Woot woot! Not a bad take! Soooo grateful for everything and very happy with everything I got! God be praised mes amis! God be uber praised!

Alrighty, I'm out. I'm totally gonna start on that book tonight, The Valley of Secrets. I'm soooooo on a book high. After finishing The Book of Negroes for my independent novel study (also an AMAZING BOOK, no lie, no lie) and Audrey, Wait! I'm on the biggest streak. Can't stop reading now!! Woooooooooooohoo! :) :) :)

Bye-bye! Goodluck on Monday when we get back to school everybody! FIX YOUR SLEEP PATTERNS NOW BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE, AND FINISH ALL OF YOUR HOMEWORK :) And goodluck in 2010!

-G, baby.
