Party Animals... at the liquor store

so last night was a blast with gunjeet and wan. wan was another one of the actresses in the play with gunjeet. the liquor store is a club in downtown boston, and its pretty well known here. gunjeet was our leader and she had been one time and enjoyed it. so we went, and had a great time. music was good, drinks a little expensive, but the corona comes in 24 oz, it was huge, and was basically the equivalent to 2 bottles, so it was pretty cheap. nice atmosphere, and i would recommend it.

unlike some of the other clubs, such as sanctuary, roxy's ( i think), and gypsy bar (from what i heard), the guys dont just stand around and actually have fun dancing too. although, i thought it was a bit strange seeing 2-3 guys dancing with one another... ne way, we three hot women, had a good time. wan is a really good dancer, and had a lot of presence and just looked like she was having a great time. i dont think that i could dance like her, i dont know if i have the energy or nerve.. lol, but it was definitely fun just watching her. and she had a really good partner too, and they complimented each other really well. and i feel more comfortable dancing now, and wtih people to dance with, it was even more fun than last time.

my freind, melissa just left for her drive across the country to oregon on thursday ... :(. she's moving back to oregon, and i wont be seeing her for a while. its a little hard to believe and hasnt entirely sunk in, yet. i will miss all the fun times that we had... soup dinners, weekend breakfast, beach times, nyc and just hanging out cuz she's just fun to be around and a good freind. but mebbe its because i've been "prepared" to leave boston, and have been preparing myself to miss everyone here, that it hasnt hit me as hard as i thought it would...

pictures of our goodbye dinners for melissa, and various activities will be posted in my space.

speaking of myspace, what have they done to change it... it seems kinda strange... not sure if i like it...

Breakfast Club in Boston

My friends and I go out for breakfast on the weekends. today we went to the breakfast club diner. its supposed to resemble the 80's movie, breakfast at tiffany's. but ive never seen that movie, so i dont get all the inside jokes on the menu and the decoration in the diner.

i have completely customized my pandora station for 2 songs i really really love. it might be you by stephen bishop and nobody knows by the tony rich project. i havent been able to download the stephen bishop song, so if anyone has it, its on the movie tootsie. let me know! anyway, im so used to living by myself that im accustomed to just singing along quite loudly. but now taht my roomies are back, i guess they'll just have to put up with my singing.

i havent quite decided what to do for the rest of my weekend. today was breakfast, and then i'll work on my work term report for a bit, since im meeting with my boss on monday about it. he told me to not kill myself working on it, so i'll just make some revisions on the river. o yea, i'll be going to the galleria again. going to help my freind find some strappy sandals. she really needs them, and she helped me find a pair last time. then we're just going to hang around the charles river, bring a book a blanket, and just enjoy the rest of summer. not to mention work on my horrible tan lines. my arms are esspecially darker from going out on site, and now my legs are a bit darker from walking around in a skirt with con, car, and jo last last weekend. but unfortunately the tan ends at my ankle from my shoes. so today will hopefully be able to tan my feet a bit. and i just want to wear a bikini. just any excuse to. i havent had too many chances this summer, so i wanna take advantage of it while i still can.

mebbe dancing tonight, since it will be my last weekend to spend with gunjeet and kristina. i will miss these girls nights out. even though i miss darrick so much, going out is fun and takes mind off of being apart. i cant wait for next friday. :):):)

well, enough procrastination, time to work on my work term report. i feel i have made some good progress, but there tons more work to be done. its a good thing im not going to atlanta, then. it would be too rushed.

my application to singapore is going well. i was kinda freaked out that my app is too late, but i will be sending everything in on monday, so it should be ok.

i was just talking to gunjeet yesterday kinda like a reflection of coming to boston. i had many reasons for not coming as well as many reason for coming. and i think that one that i might have subconsciouncsly made, was that i wanted to do something for myself. just to be alone and learn on my own, so to speak. i guess i kinda felt like i was "following" (not sure if thats the right word) darrick a bit, because he went UW and then i went to UW. i know lots of people go to UW, but i guess i kinda saw it that way sometimes. and i guess the boston experience is something entirely mine. and i feel that it was a great expereince, and that i have learned a lot. not only career wise, but also about myself as well. i also feel like i stand up for myself more, as well as more confident. i guess i just feel like a hot and smart woman. and i mean that in a more confident and not a self absorbed way. lol.... it sounded better in conversation and in context. ne way, every women/girl should feel that way , i think. mebbe im just more american...

RIGHT BACK TO WTR!!!!!

Just Being....

its just nice to be a part of boston. like part of boston scenery. just sitting in harvard yard reading, in the shade and its like you belong there. its nice.

ive discovered a few more places to eat. punjabi dahba. yummy indian food. we went for lobster (carolyn) at legal seafoods and its pretty good. also went to a tapas bar in waltham that was pretty nice for farewell party for melissa. nice atmostphere. dali also has good tapas.

and carolyn has come to love au bon pain. what am i gonna do in waterloo.... lol...

it'll be nice to be back in canada, back in good old boring home of waterloo and brampton. adn the occasional trip to toronto. but boston will always be a part of me, too.

family in boston

its so nice to have someone at home when i come home. i miss living with my family. its been a while. but its also nice to live by myself. esspecially when i have to work late or my bus is just being stupid. again.

but car's been here all week, and it's been fun. i almost feel like a local, knowing all these little nooks and cranny places to eat.

i need to work on my wtr. i brought stuff home for this weekend to do. i need to do it. i must do it!!!! before i go back to school!!!!!!!!! DOOOOOOOO ITTTTTTTT.

and i have to apply for NUS. im so scared. i feel its too late or something.... noooooooo

carolyn is a weirdo. she is.

You and Me ... and Boston

i llllooooooooooooveee that song. its been on repeat for 2 days so far! i felt like singing out loud at work, but contented myself with just humming it quietly. hearing that song makes me think of darrick :). esspecially the chorus:

you and me and all of the people
with nothing to donothing to lose
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know whyI can't keep my eyes off of you

its saturday and con, car and jO are coming. actually they should be here but due to STUPID greyound troubles, they are delayed. you know, they really should organize this transportation thing a lot better if they want people to want to take it. take last weekend in NYC. the subway was horrible! they dont tell you bout delays or route changes until its either too late, or you know its a delay cuz you've been standing there for 20 minutes already. for a city that is known for its transportation, the 2nd oldest subway in america, it sure sucks! and its dirty, and it just doesnt seem like "first nation subway" as my freind put it. and the same with greyhound. im gonna complain. its ridiculous when you cant tell your passengers how to get where their ticket says its going. RIDICULOUS!!!

o and did i mention my tuition is posted. i didnt save as much as i thoght that i would even withour res... i need to start on my WTR. i have a 2 page outline (roughly) and tonnes of work to do. im actually excited about this paper. can you believe that. yea, sounds pathetic, i know. but whats really interesting is that one of my bosses is writing some thign like that but much more in depth for AESHRAE or some other wel known american civil eng. society thing. neat, eh?

fun

kickball is fun. more fun when you get to play. not too bad if you win either.

im so sleeppy. alcohol makes me sleepy. even if its just a little. even if its pbr.

prepare for the heat tomorrow on site. it'll be a hot one. i better not get too much darker. my legs are so behind. ive been putting on tons of sunscreen on my arms, but its not helping too much. i need to stick my legs out a window to even it out.

just finished desert. time to sleep.

i love the song nobody knows. its so sad. i like sad songs. i imagine someone singing it to me, and i think its so romantic. as long as its not the stalker type obsession kinda thing. lalalalalala
