Summer :) is just peeking around the corner

So the weather is perfect, and this term is going to be relatively easy going :). I'm back living with my sister and cousin (different cousin this time), and I'm cooking my favourite foods and trying to mix in some of the southeast asian flavours that I'm missing now.

Trying to get out more, now, and be more active. In fact, I've been getting out comments from Con and Christine that they feel I do some much "extra curricular" that I never seem to be doing any work. lol... Which is sort of true. I've been trying to go the gym regularly, and have taken up kickboxing and salsa class, and next on the list of things to do this summer is to learn to swim!

Salsa class was really fun last night, there were so many more people than last time. I don't think there was anyone without a partner! It went by so fast, by the time I got back to my first partner, the class was over, and I had thought that it was only half way.

So I've been listening to this one song over and over again for the past week. Me and Con were almost going crazy on Monday trying to find this song after I heard it once on the radio with I went grocery shopping with my dad. I hummed it to her, and we both knew the song, and then searched her entire archive of Chinese songs looking for it. I LOVE it! I've been singing it constantly, and humming it in my head too.

Just watched the pilot of Ugly Betty. The season finale was last week. **tear I was actually pretty disappointed by both the season finales of Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy. But anyhow, I just love Ugly Betty. Can't wait for more! One of my favourite parts of the show is how they can depict that two people who seem completely different, like Betty and Daniel, can actually be so similar. We all have problems, we all feel insecure or vulnerable, sometimes, and sometimes, that's people need to bring them together: just being able to see people as just people.

After not cooking for the entire time I was away, I really love cooking. There is just something about making your own food, that brings such joy and satisfaction. I love food, and I love it even more when I can eat lots of it, and know that its good for me :). I'm trying to experiment with more veggies, salads, and salsa mixes, its especially perfect with this summer weather.

O yes, every morning when I pass through the park on my way to school, I pass by about 5 families of Canada geese with their cute little goslings. I just love staring at them, they are so adorable. Of course, the daddy geese doesn't like it much, and keeps hissing. I'm actually kind of scared of the parents, I think they will really attack me if I get too close. Kind of reminds me of my parents sometimes :P.

Anyway, back to hydrology homework (and kareoke-ing)...
