untitled #19


Here's a highly edited selfie 4 yall!!!!!!!!

It's the last week of school and lately it's been hella stressful!!! I guess it's mostly my fault but anyway I'm supposed to be typing up my astronomy lab report that's due later today but I'm taking a break from it right now. On friday I had an astronomy assignment due, on sunday I had my a quiz for linguistics due and online chem homework due, yesterday I had a linguistics assignment due, today I had my creative writing assignment due at 11am (which I finished a few hours before) and my astronomy lab report is due later today at 5pm (so I gotta haul my ass over to school and hand it in ugh), tomorrow I have my last chem pre-reading quiz due (I'M SO SICK OF THESE bc we have one due before basically every single class) and on thursday I have my creative writing quiz (it's more of an exam than a quiz though considering it's worth 30%!!!!) and then nothing on friday and then HECK YEA NO MORE CLASSES!!! Then I have two finals and then I'll be officially done term 1!!!! And then cHRIST FUCKING MAS I'm so excited for the holidays yall dont even understand!!! I really hope it snows a lot (but not before my exam period ends bc I dont want them to postpone finals due to the snow and have to write them in fucking january...... this actually happened like 2 or 3 years ago but thankfully not to me).

Yesterday my friend and I were bussing home from school together. We met in our astronomy lab and we became partners in the lab because we happened to be sitting next to each other. Turns out she takes the same bus as me and she gets off at a stop that's literally like a few minutes after my stop, and she's also really interested in physics and astronomy like me so it's really cool!!! But anyway people on the bus must've thought we were weird as heck because we talked about sleep paralysis and lucid dreaming and our experiences with realizing that we were dreaming while inside a dream (a common thing that happens to both of us: we'd realize that we're in a dream and then get so excited that we realized it that we accidentally wake ourselves up hahaha). But anyway we were talking about higher dimensions (eg. four, five, or six dimensional worlds) and about how we wanted to so badly visualize how that would look like (but obviously as humans in a 3 dimensional world we can't conceive higher dimensional objects) and then we started going on about stuff like what if colours don't look the same to everyone. Like what if I see yellow and it's called yellow but to someone else they see red but they also call it yellow because that's what it's named??? If that makes any sense hahaha. And also colours outside the visual spectrum haha like it's mindblowing to think that I guess there's probably other colours that we can't see?? Hahaha it was a super interesting conversation nonetheless.

Anyway I should just finish my lab report and get it over with so I don't run out of time!!!! Pce boys n girls

I recently stumbled upon a really beautiful song and I just wanted to share it with yall here!!! Regrettably I heard a bit of this song about a month back but I completely overlooked it but I came across it again and actually listened to it and I love it!!!!

bday dinner heck yea

Yesterday it was my friend Madalene's 19th birthday and we went to Cactus Club with a few others and had a small dinner party. It was nice to get together and hang out since we all go to different schools and barely see each other (except for Madz since we hang out at least once a week during our breaks at UBC but still!!). Last night was filled with so much laughter and I feel like my mouth/face muscles literally started to get tired from laughing???? Oh and the restrooms there were hELLA nice like I can't speak for the men's restroom but the women's one was really warm (ok probably too warm.... it was kinda humid actually) but it had nice comfy sofas and a coffee table and lots of mirrors (and magnifying mirrors as well!!! one of which said "you're beautiful" on it and the other didn't..... awks) and the actual stalls themselves were really private since the doors were like actual doors and the stalls were basically tiny rooms with a mini tv on the door (the Food Network was on so I suppose you could watch some cooking shows in privacy while taking a shit). At one point we literally just sat on the sofas in there for a bit and yenno........ we just sat there.

I ordered the Raincoast Greens salad (I always order salads..... it's because idk I feel like I have a really sensitive stomach or something because a lot of things make me feel super bloated and gassy and honestly I just save myself the trouble of having to be gassy in public by eating salads because they're the usually cleanest things on the menu haha) and I had a Flirtini (what a cute name huh). Sorry I didn't take any pics of my food (or any pics in general with my phone......) because food pics aren't my thing and also I didn't have enough memory space on my phone to take pics haha

Anyway I think I will end this post with my fave pic of the evening of me tryna get a taste of Madz's martini while she looks utterly unimpressed:

more school blues

aa athletic contrast tee, tna leggings, topshop jacket (I didn't buy it tho), vans sk8 his

Yesterday I went to downtown to return a coat and finish buying my friend's bday gift. It was that greyish blackish whatever coat that I bought for $150 back in september and idk it's just been sitting in the corner of my room for the longest time untouched and I decided that it just wasn't really my style so I returned it and got store credit. I also didn't know that the tiny part of Topshop that's like across from the main entrance by the doors that lead to Granville Station turned into a MAC store!!! I mean I knew they were doing construction there but I didn't know they would open a MAC there?? Anyway I went there and I got the Prep + Prime highlighter in light boost (the lady put it onto my undereyes and down the bridge of my nose and I felt like Kim K!!!!!!) so I was super happy. She literally put it right over the foundation and concealer that I already had on my face and added a bit of BB cream over that I was so surprised at how uncakey it looked!!! Like seriously it was flawless. So yeah I mean I don't intend on doing like a whole highlight and contour look to school everyday (I mean for the past week I've been wearing very very very minimal makeup and bc of that I've been on time everyday!!! lol) but it's just a nice product to have I think. Speaking of makeup I totally forgot that the Sephora on Robson St opened literally a week and a couple days ago!! I should have gone and taken a look but oh well.

So I finished my second round of midterms last week haha........ *cries*........ I mean like my linguistics one on monday wasn't that bad, it was just this one section in the exam that I totally did not go over/study beforehand and I'm pretty sure I fucked it up!!! I should've studied more for this exam. I mean like, the material is so easy but I just didn't put in the effort to actually memorize everything. Whatever. I know I passed though.

Chem on the other hand..... lol I'm pretty sure I failed the second midterm which means that I actually have to do alright on the final!! Honestly at this point I'm literally aiming to pass. I'm so done with ochem. Why am I taking this course again??? wHY??????

Also I got my marks back for the second assignment for creative writing and I didn't do as bad as I thought!! I thought my story was absolute shit and that I would get a really bad mark on it but I ended up getting 80% on it which isn't bad at all. I'm relieved in fact. Now I just gonna bs one last writing assignment!!!

I can't believe this term is ending in less that a month. I'm super excited that Christmas is coming soon but wow this term passed by so quickly. It feels like just yesterday when I was so not down to go back to school?? And it feels like just yesterday when I was giving my friend a tour around campus in the summer. Sigh. It feels like life passes by so quickly now and that makes me kind of sad. I mean like I want to just stop once in a while and enjoy life but it's hard to do that when all I do is wait for each week to end.

Anyway I think that's all for now?? I'm totally supposed to be doing my linguistics pre-reading so I can do the quiz that closes in less than 2 hours...... I should get on that. pce

2 school 4 cool

Yesterday was Halloween and I spent it working. It wasn't too bad though, I only had a four hour shift and there was never too many or too few customers, it was super steady and time went by surprisingly fast (I didn't even look at the clock for the first hour and a half into my shift and I was actually shocked that that much time had already passed!!!!). Some of my coworkers were dressed up but I wasn't. Maybe I should have since it's a good excuse not to wear my ugly ass uniform.

I have a midterm for linguistics on monday and chem on thursday. My body chose the worst time ever to get sick!!! My nose has been stuffy for the past day or two, I've been coughing, and I woke up feeling tired and a bit sore today despite getting like 10 hours of sleep (which is literally 3 times the amount of sleep I usually get!!! which probably contributes to why I got sick/am not gonna get better for a while.......).

I got my astronomy midterm back and I got 82% on it which is an A-. It's not bad considering the class avg was around 68% or something like that but I was hoping for a higher mark. What sucks is that the exam was only out of 39, so even losing 1 mark is a lot. I'm mad because there was an easy question that I could've gotten right but I didn't and had I gotten it right I would've received about 85%. Ochem is a different story though. I'm doing embarrassingly bad in it (I'm probably currently failing). I know I have to do practice problems and I know I have to study constantly for it in order to do well but I just don't want to. I keep putting it off because I hate chem so so so much and just thinking about it ruins my mood but I don't want to fail the course (but at the rate I'm going I definitely will). In fact I'm should be doing chem right now but instead I'm procrastinating by writing a post on here. I have a midterm review session later today from 3:30-9:30pm so I feel like I should definitely prep myself and at least know the basics of what the exam will cover. I should've never taken this course....... if I do pursue physics, I don't even need this......... fuck me

My other courses are going pretty well though. Linguistics is going well although my midterm is a two days away. The thing about linguistics is that I understand all the material (it's rather easy really) but I just need to mEMORIZE IT!!! But to be very honest I suck at memorizing things..... but I'm gonna have to. And creative writing is going well too. I did well on my first quiz (well... it acts like a midterm really since it's worth 30% of our overall grade) and I got 80% on my first assignment (a short story I wrote). I know I'm probably not going to do well on my second assignment since I literally wrote it the night before it was due and it wasn't too good of a story I don't think.... but as long as I do well on the second "quiz" and on the third assignment I should be good to go.

IT'S JUST CHEM THAT'S RUINING MY LIFE!!!! OCHEM IS A LIFE RUINER, IT RUINS PPL'S LIVES!!!

I keep changing my timetable for term 2 but I think I've finally settled on an alright one. I'm taking physics 102, astronomy 102, and math 105. I'm actually kinda excited for physics and astronomy!!! (not so much for math though.......) Originally I wasn't even gonna take astr 102 but I rearranged my schedule to make it fit yay!! But when I rearranged it, I made myself a 3 hour break every mwf but tYBG 2 seats opened in the physics lecture on mwf that I wanted to get into (originally I had my physics lecture on tues/thurs) so I registered in that one which fit perfectly right in the middle of my 3 hour break!! So now I have 3 classes on mwf with a one hour break between each one. And I have my physics lab on tues but it's every other week so I get every other tues off!!! And thurs is my astr lab (but I probably won't have to go every week just like how my current astr lab is like - since there's no attendance but it's helpful to do your lab during that time since our TA is there).

Anyway enough w this procrastination........ it's time to face death OOPS I MEAN CHEM.... ha...haha......... k bye
