as i silently dwell in the area of astronomy... i have come to the conclusion that i actually don't know anything about this course!!! sad eh? although i have chapter 1 downpacked.. i've got nothing else!!! i seriously don't know how to focus... its kind of stressing me out when everyone is getting the marks i used to get and im just failing miserably.... okay.. maybe not to that extent.. but i am very fidgety about school... Just realized that i never really studied before and now i have to!!!
i want the weekend to replay itself... a time with no academic headaches!
i bit my lip and now it hurts.
...ioeo lvyu...
5:36 PM
im back from a weekend of t.o! hehehe....for some reason, i am way more homesick now... i've grown to really appreciate the new apartment and all the comforts that it brings.. sad that i don't get to fully enjoy it until i actually graduate from western.. :( my bed is way too comfy, the lighting in my room is so pleasant, and the scent of my mom's cooking is to die for! well, overall a very successful and enjoyable weekend! hehe.. coming home and going on errands with my mom was actually quite fun! ran into a little trouble sat. afternoon but sat. dinner made up for it. at first dan felt awkward i guess but those who know my mom know that she can be really really stupid! i mean... when we went to pick up ate letty, my mom and her didn't know which car it was.. they went to the car in front of us and knocked on the window only to find two guys in the front!!! made a complete fool of themselves! oh boy... and then my mom completely skipping the meal and going straight to dessert? ahhh.. i love my mom.. she's so funny... successful dinner :)
im worried that certain friendships are slipping... we've known each other for like 7-8 years now and to fall apart over after that long is a scary thought... I wish nothing changed.. i wish we were all still young and carefree at the same place just enjoying one another's company.. when did drama have to come a long?? I miss those cricket days... which reminds me...
today i went to the cricket today.. and and and.. for some reason, walking through those doors made me feel so at home. Same guy at the front desk who knew us.. we were even able to have a conversation with him, something that would not happen at the granite. And then, walking through familiar halls and seeing the ice reminded me of a time where i loved skating and enjoyed it so much i was able to spend the whole day there even doing homework and eating dinner there. getting food from the snack bar ladies, saying hi to rolly and striking a conversation with the front desk guy! rolly said it right.. it is my home... plus.. Jo's there!!! wahahahaha!
herm.. opinions on me representing phil???

Im on a roll!!!
I skipped 3 astronomy classes in a row, 1 business class, 1 classics class, 3 sociology classes in a row, 1 poli sci class, 1 sociology tutorial, and 1 poli sci tutorial in a span of 2 weeks!!! i broke a promise to many people and you may ask me why?? Its because all I have in my head is the notwithstanding clause!!!!! this stupid essay is making me miss class with the hopes of completing it only to procrastinate even more than if i did go to class!!! my sleeping hours are messed too!!! i end up taking a "nap" at 9 and waking up at 3!! only to sleep again at 4 and wake up at 9 therefore missing practice and my first class!!! i feel high school all over again where i would take these dangerous "Naps" and end up screwing myself over.. Naps are bad... no to naps... naps are the ultimate weapon of mass destruction in the education system!!!
on a brighter note, oh wait.. there is no brighter note! i've locked myself in my rez for the past two days while i silently watch myself fail...

okay... i just went febreeze happy in my room and now im suffocating coz i sprayed too much!!! my bad... hehehehe...
this weekend was fun! went to waterloo for a night to see someone... *ahem* fun trip... very worth the $20 greyhound... LOL... waterloo is actually kind of a nice campus.. cept WESTERN IS WAY BETTER! lol.... maybe because I'm biased towards the color purple... :D self explanatory right?
my mom came up on saturday! with auntie gina, ate letty, and wendy... soo jokes with them.. nothing but pure jokes.. literally, we were cracking jokes at one another non stop.. especially since they kept making fun of me over a certain email i accidentally sent! WHOOPS!!! genius of me... anyways... i guess i like it better this way...
heard some sad news about auntie... please pray for her if you can.... just a special unspoken that must be prayed for...
herm... heather came up this weekend too although iw asn't able to chill much with her coz my mom was here.... can't wait to see her all the time next year!!!
so on sunday, after my mom left.. i decided to nerd it up once and i spent most of the day at the library researching for my poli sci essay!!! its not bad actually.. all the books are already put on reserve for my course so i just have to go to the front desk and ask for them. It works out except i don't like the two hour limit imposed on them because that means that i have to stop my studying, go back to the 1st floor and sign them out again.. which is honestly a complete waste of time... i had the most delicious starbucks apple cider!!! so many memories of high school spares!! that's all me and ryan lived for! lol... caramel apple ciders at starbucks... hehehe... dlo and sam came to get me... sorta... and we went for gyros?? at the spoke... ii had a blt though.. met up with VICKY! and mike and we watched Lord of War... sketchy movie... very eye opening but otherwise a really good movie!!! wish i wasn't so tired from studying though... hehehehehe.. oh boy.. and then i stayed up till 4 am!! not very wise... but i think everything is starting to settle... im getting im routine and im starting to work! CONGRATULATE ME!!! aivory's actually working! (except for this blog)...
today was a fun day... jenny came over after business and we just sat around and looked at our fave past time... HANDBAGS!!! bring on the LV, coach, chanel, chloe, gucci, jimmy choo, prada, armani, d & g!! i have finally found a handbag buddy!!! lol... but we can only sit and dream... to own them all.. LOL!!!! bad habit aivory.. break it break it!
library all afternoon...hard core studying for like 3 hours... very productive... very proud of myself.. LOL.....
ahh.. i miss toronto... i really do... the cars honking, the pollution, the high rise buildings... oh how i miss you... lol...
finally, febreeze is starting to calm down a little...

im slacking off.im slacking off.im slacking off.im slacking off.im slacking off.im slacking off.im slacking off.
this is sooo bad.. i have no idea what's going on in my astronomy class, i've missed soo many classics classes... and i just feel really screwed especially for my polisci essay even though i've done it before and it should be easy!!! Overwhelmed? there's more.... business is going wayy too fast, sociology is more complicated than i thought... I've missed so many meeting because of overlaping schedules... and I'm struggling with my spiritual life because of all the hectic events and stuff i have to go to!!! stressed? i think not..... or do i???
on a brighter note, Im in two exec positions!!! Yearbook committee with WOOF, and layout/copy committee on AEOSA!! WOHOOO! coincidence that they are both yearbook/newspaper related?? you can figure that out yourself... also!! varsity skating team is on the list too!!! YAY! im on varsity!!! which also means three 6:30 am practices a week but i guess it'll keep me busy and not lazy.. although that doesn't seem to work much....
great seeing PCA this weekend!!! I LOVE THE POUNCING! hehehe... i love my girls.... you guys rock! dani, helen, jen, rach! MUAH MUAH MUAH! love you...great seeing all the grads too... one thing's for certain... nothing really has changed between us grads... people still make fun of each other all the time, we can still carry conversations, and we remember everything we've endured... let's try to keep it that way....
sooo... comments on the yearbook people????

Lululemon Mantras to live by:
Drink FRESH water and as much water as you can. Water flushes unwanted toxins and keeps your brain sharp.
Observe a plant before and after watering and relate the benefits to your body and brain.
Coke, Pepsi and all other pops will be known as the cigarettes of the future. Colas are NOT a substitute for water. Colas are just another cheap drug made to look great by advertising.
Be yoga. Breathing has you live in the moment and stretching releases toxins from your muscles.
Do yoga so you can remain active in physical sports as you age.
Listen, listen, listen, and then ask strategic questions.
SWEAT once a day to regenerate your skin.
Compliments from the heart elevates other's spirit and will often result in an encouraging word for someone else ... a domino effect.
Your outlook on life is a direct reflection of how much you like yourself.
Life is full of setbacks. Success is determined by how you handle setbacks.
Write down your short and long term GOALS four times a year. 2 personal, 2 business and one health goal. A class study at Yale found only 3 percent of the students had written goals. 20 years later, the same 3 percent were wealthier than the other 97% combined.
You ALWAYS have choice and the conscious brain can only hold one thought at a time. Choose a positive thought.
Communication is COMPLICATED. Each person is raised in a different family with a different definition of each word.
Love.
Jealousy works the opposite way you want it to.
Nature wants us to be mediocre because we have a greater chance to survive and reproduce. Mediocre is as close to the bottom as it is to the top. Be creative. Do one thing a day that scares you.
Take various vitamins. You never know what small mineral can eliminate the bottleneck to everlasting health.
Dance, sing, floss and travel.
Do not use cleaning chemicals on your kitchen counters. Try vinegar and lemon. Someone will inevitably make a sandwich on your counter.
Rules of Marriage: respect the other person, compromise, be open to communicate, and build a common set of life values. If you don't do this, you are in a lot of trouble.
Friends are more important than money. Don't trust that an old age pension will be sufficient.
One hour of aerobic exercise will release endorphins to regenerate cells and offset stress.
A daily hit of athletic induced endorphins will give you the power to make better decisions and help you be at peace with yourself.
Wake up and realize you are surrounded by amazing friends.

so this weekend was the acf retreat... and it turned out different from what I expected. Better than I expected. I was skeptical going into this weekend because I knew that I could've been at missisauga for the ORC conference which was supposed to be really good. My cousin encouraged me to go and I knew that it would have a better impact on my aiesec applications. But somehow i felt like i had to be at this retreat. It was great fun getting to know new people, frosh and upper years as well as bonding with people that I knew already. It was a great time to catch up as well as make new experiences. Getting to know my small group as well as working together with them was an awesome experience too. It was a really good, and natural retreat where everything just happened and it seemed like we were all united already although i just met them. It was a good feeling. Its funny how God can really talk to you at unexpected times. One person was sharing something, and immediately it applied to my life. This one person has significantly impacted my life and he/she doesnt even know it. Im forever grateful. And it was through this one sharing that i realized why God wanted me here. I guess that just proves that there's a reason behind everything.
Talked for a while with Jo last night too. That was awesome just to check up on each other on our lives and ask opinions. Its amazing how open we actually are! and silly! and its as if time doesn't have an effect on us at all. friends like that are rare and im glad i have jo as a sister!
made adobo for my suitemates last night.. that was good.
So this week is a really crazy week, please pray for my strength....
off to a business study group! WAHAHAHAHA!!!
