I know it's been over a month since I've wrote but I'm kind of boring and school has been/is ridiculously busy. I'm home on the twentieth which is no where near to being soon enough. I have been suffering from the winter blues, especially since I am trapped in my room studying all the time. I feel like I have been the most anti-social person ever lately, but am happy in my little lair. I have been living off an endless supply of tea & coffee, movies, The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos and Facebook -- really a great invention for those of us that go to school out of province, but not so much if you don't want to be wasting away your life. So in order to fight the winter blues, here is a list of the things that have been cheering me up through the cold, snowy days.
1. Tea -- doesn't matter what kind, I have a large variety. I've been drinking at least one pot of tea recently, the other night I had a movie night and ended up drinking 3-4... pots not cups.
2. Jude Law -- I watched The Holiday and Alfie this weekend. While I really didn't enjoy Alfie, I was amused by the fact that Long Duck Dong from Sixteen Candles was in it, and how he looked the EXACT same as he did. Honestly he has aged gracefully, but his characters accent was the exact same. I love Jude Law though, even though he is 35 (happy birthday!) and starting to bald (thanks a lot for pointing that out D) he is still fantastic. The Holiday was probably the best movie I watched all weekend.
3. Project Runway -- Yesterday was the second last episode of the season, and I predicted right, M.G., Biddell and Lucien are in the finale. I really didn't like Lucien's dress this week, but I can see how it would look fantastic on Iman. I was happy to see Stephen go, because although I don't like Lucien, Stephen was definitely in the competition far too long.
4. The thought of Crave Cupcakes -- I will be there when they open on December 21 when I come home! I cannot wait to eat a vanilla Princess or try the Craving of the Month. Kensington when I get home makes me super excited!
5. The thought of seeing my family and friends! -- I miss my friends so much! I am one of the only people in res that hasn't been home at least once this semester and it makes me so sad. I have so much planned when I get home which means I'll finally have lots to write about, as well as lots of pictures to post (sorry for the lack this post). I miss my family a lot too. I get to see everyone at Christmas, because that is really my favourite part of Christmas. Seeing the cousins and aunts and uncles. Plus I miss my puppy, I can't wait to see him and enjoy many nights curled up in bed with him.
6. Constant Facebooking -- I am always messaging someone on Facebook which makes it easier to contact my friends back home as well as arrange events.
7. "Future" Plans (aka alternatives to studying) -- Danielle and I have made a plan to drop out of University, make enough money to support several months of travelling then work our way around the world before finding gorgeous, rich (necessary for this plan), exotic men who we will marry and have babies with. They will also be best friends and we will raise our beautiful children in a beautiful location (with a good ski season for you D) and be happy to be together (but not married together ha!) this plan is very Clueless Two in Second Helpings.
All for now, I'll be home soon and it will be Leah in Ontario (but really in Calgary)
