me mum took me shopping today! She's so sweet, she wants me to feel comfortable in my own skin so she decided I required a refreshing of wardrobe. There's this epic shop called Unique Boutique uptown waterloo that has such amazing clothes and accessories! Most of the stuff is kinda fancy, but everything is so artsy and beautiful! The lady who owns the place is Polish, and oh boy I love Polish people :P My mom has some polish aspects to her, and it's so entertaining to shop with her and this saleslady :) hahaha, they're both pretty straightforward and "shop with a purpose," which became mildly funny when I found myself as their object of attention. I'm not complaining, I left with three gorgeous tops that make me smile even just to think of them. haha, my mom got one of the same tops too - it just looked so good on everyone! There were two, shall we say 'sophisticated,' ladies trying on clothes with us as well, and at one point we all tried on the same thing! It was pretty epic. I'm aiming on becoming a real character by the time I feel 'senior.' Oh yes. I shall have a huuuuuge garden of wildflowers, another mini garden reserved for flower pressing/card making, and a wardrobe of wacky edgy attire that would knock the socks off anyone's feet. Speaking of socks, on our way home we passed an epic epic dude who was wearing bright green 3/4 length pants, one black sock and one rainbow coloured sock, dress shoes, an orange top, a suit jacket, and a pink bowler hat. Beat that. I think he thought I was laughing at him, but I was just so thrilled to see someone exercising his colour palette that I was beaming XP. Dudes ought to be epic more often. I believe we outdo them most of the time in that department.
Wow. This is becoming an essay. Too bad for you. I'm not in a very sympathetic mood at the moment. I just listened to my dad talk about learning chord progressions on the piano...for 45 minutes. Don't get me wrong; I am grateful for chord progressions, and I appreciate my dad, but together? For 45 minutes? Speaking plainly here, my ears are ringing. At present I've escaped to my neighbour's house - babysitting is my saviour at present. The kids are soooo cute! The oldest one, emma, told me that "if I needed anything she would probably be available until 9:56 pm" :D soooo cute :) :) :) Little people make me feel so at peace with this world <3
So. Weeks of lecture to go: uno. Then exams and then BAM! Woot woot here comes that old friend "summer"!
See you girlsies on Tuesday <3 loving that thought :) gahhhhh GOOD LUCK KATE!!!!!!!!!! Break a watermelon :P

pffffft, 19? nahhhh. Let's just say "12+7."
That's right.
If anyone asks me tomorrow how old I am, I'm telling them straight off that I'm as old as my tongue and a little older than my teeth.
I'm also going to be wearing the biggest boldest clip-on earrings that I own and I could very well disappear into a british accent for part of the day. I'm rather fond of you girls, so I thought I'd better warn you so that you don't get shocked unawares.
I'm so ready for summer. I've been dreaming in pen and watercolours. That only ever happens in the summer. When I'm feeling artsy. And free. And bold.
I need a new haircut.
I also need to become extremely phenomenal at swing dancing and doing the charleston. Possibly even the moonwalk. And I'm so ready to update my wardrobe. Bring on the thrift stores and vintage shops!
I'm also aiming to do some serious cooking and baking, and will rely one you four to get rid of the results via compost or stomach (hopefully the latter but I ain't promising nothin).
I'm thinking we should also photo/video document this summer, just for our sakes, so that we have a barrel of memories to fall back on whenever we need them.
If you have a problem with any of this you can come speak to me in my private office: second door on the right and straight down to the basement.
Mo: I absolutely definitely certainly need a first-hand account of your letter-opening experience once it has occurred.
tata, pip pip, cheerio and all that. toodles till soon my loverlies

update + March break
Hey lovelies,
It's been WAY too long since I blogged. Oops.
I went to visit U of T again on Saturday. It was pretty good, they had profs from the program speak and they seemed super enthusiastic and nice. They also had students speak and students gave us tours so we could ask them questions. My tour guide was in biomed so I asked him about his research projects, which was nice. The students were pretty cool.
The only thing that freaked me out was that EVERYONE who went to this thing was asian nerdy boys. Not that there's anything wrong with nerds (<3!) but like, EVERYONE. I was more than a little freaked out at the lack of...diversity in my potential peer group. Idk. Girls? Very, very few. People who have social skills? Even less.
Other stuff I did... Last week I took a legit first aid course at the gym. The guy who taught it was really awesome, he was a firefighter/paramedic with 3 kids and he just had a lot of real life experience. He was blunt and honest about everything and I really liked that. He wasn't keen on how first aid has been glorified, and he wanted us to at least be prepared as well as we could be. He had a lot of great stories too. Apparently he's rescued SEVEN cabbage patch dolls from burning buildings, thinking they were babies. SEVEN. I laughed a lot :P
Tomorrow I'm going to a dinner for accepted applicants at Waterloo so that should be good. Wednesday is prom dress shopping :D And Thursday is climbing+Starbucks with Em! Should be a good week :)

GUESS WHAT TIME IT IS!
writers craft live meeting.
good grief.
She basically uses the time to reiterate the requirments for the assignment. WHICH HAS ALREADY BEEN STATED IN THE ASSIGNMENT PAGE!
Holy smokes. She always says 'don't talk while I'm talking, it distracts me...' WE ARE TYPING COMMENTS IN THAT SHE CAN CHOOSE NOT TO READ!! What is this. I mean , she says that if this was a real class, having us talking all the time would be distracting.... and its the same here. NOT TRUE! She doesn't HEAR us! Wow. I mean seriously. Every lesson she goes on a rant about how much 'talking' is class is distracting and wastes time.... while she is wasting time :P
