My back hurts. I think that I slightly pulled something during high low abs yesterday, but I still went to zumba simply because it's fun. I actually made it through the entire class without quitting but there were a few times when I wanted to.
I haven't written much because there hasn't been much going on. I basically study and go to class with the odd book reading in between...
Well there you are... I posted.... It counts.... Now I need to go to sleep so I can do boring things tomorrow.

Cardio Kickboxing Kicked My Butt
I tried very hard to stick with it for the whole hour, I really did. Unfortunately I am even more out of shape than I had thought. So in the end me and my friends ended up giving up half way through. I honestly didn't expect it to be that intense. Then again I also didn't expect my hip to start hurting. However, even though it's difficult for me right now I'm going to stick with it, and I'll even still try out zumba tomorrow. In short, if you don't hear from me you now know why........

What Have I Gotten Myself Into?!?!?!?!?
As I have said, I am trying to write 100 blog entries this year. I know that they don't have to be long, but it's me we're talking about, I can't help myself. However, I am also in an English class where I have to write 8 journal entries as well as 5 essays and I am also in Latin which takes up a lot of time......... I'm now starting to think that this may have been a bad idea. Then again I always do best when I am busy and ding things that I enjoy, and I obviously enjoy writing. Of course you'll have to wait until the end of the year to see if I really love writing or not.............

Moving: Must Massage Myslef
I have officially moved into the new house. It was harder than I thought mostly because all my joints and muscles decided that it was a good day to have a panic attack. Also, I had to carry everything from the fourth floor to the second floor in the old boulding, then across the parking lot, and then from the first floor to the fourth floor in the new building. Not a fun experience. Thankfully I found someone who was willing to carry my fridge, and I am very happy that I did (though he did put a dent in it).
Being as bored and tired as I am, I decided to look at random news clips on the internet. Most of the news was either boring or depressing, but there were a few stories that interested me. The first one was a slightly old article about a ballerina that was called overweight. Of course she was not called this by a doctor but a critic who watched her dance. I would like to note that it is nearly impossible for a professional ballerina to be overweight considering that they dance for at least eight hours every day. However, this article also brought up the discussion of whether or not ballerina's are too thin and have to much pressure put on them to be thin. That would be a yes. I mean how many people think of some tiny stick woman when they think of ballerinas? Now how many people think of a woman with lots of curves? My point exactly. I wish that there was a place where young ballerinas could train professionally without all of the pressure to be thin. In fact, or at least according to a health site I went to, the number one reason that ballerina's retire early is because of the health issues they develop from malnutrition. Wow. Speaking of health issues, I also looked up more about the birds and fish that suddenly died Arkansas. As usual there were tons of alien theories about how we're all going to be abducted and experimented on. My question would be why? So they can fully understand exactly how we can be so stupid as to ruin our own planet? Anyway, it looks like it is just a disease that spread throughout the animal population there. The simple proof of this (which I happen to agree with) it that only one species of fish and one species of bird were harmed. I doubt that aliens would have been able to be THAT exact. The last story I read through was about Avril Lavigne's new album coming out. The only thing I could think of was: what about Krystal Meyers. For those of you who don't know, I only listen to christian music and so I don't really care about Avril, but there is a christian artist (Krystal Meyers) who releases her albums around the same time Avril does. There was really no reason in saying all that but hey, it's my blog and therefore my brains spewed on the internet.
Tomorrow is going to be a bit busy with fee payments, a new student ID (hopefully one that will let me in the house this time) and getting ready for classes. Thankfully all the moving is done and I can now just rest, and maybe even get a bit of sleep tonight!!! Good bye for now all you really bored people who read this blog. I hope I write to you within the next week or so.... if not NAG ME!!!!!!!

Goodbye 2010, Hello Long Lineups (And First Blog of the Year!!!)
Finals, Christmas, and New Year's have come and gone, but I did not write a blog. I'm sorry. I got so overloaded with finals and then catching up on lost sleep that I kept forgetting to write. I also had nothing to really write about. However, as there are lots of changes happening tomorrow I thought that I should bring you all up to speed.
Firstly, winter semester is about to begin. In three short days (okay, three and a half) I will be back in stuffy lecture halls and even stuffier laboratories. Unfortunately I did fail a class. Surprisingly it was only one class. Some of you may think that me even failing one class would be surprising, but the amount of adjusting I had to do really threw me off, well that and having to eat the "food" they serve me here. Due to this failure, I had to rework my schedule. Although I am not taking all the classes I want I did manage to put Latin back in, which makes me unbelievably happy. The fees surrounding this semester I don't like as much. Firstly, there is a certain form one must fill out in order to get a BC student loan sent to you. There was no mention of this until today..... BC may be beautiful, but the government is apparently trying to kill university students...
Secondly, I am moving to a new house. The house in residence that I am currently living in needs to be renovated so everyone here is moving to a newly renovated house. The only bad part about this situation is there are just under 100 people who need to move within two days. Not only does everyone have to move in, we all have to move our stuff from one house to the other. So there are going to be a few hectic days of running from one house to the other. To think, it all starts tomorrow. Everyone gets to be in a long line just so they can get to their rooms and then stand in another long line the next day to pay off their fees. Anyone who knows what universities are like knows that the line for the cashiers office the first day it's open is very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very long.
Thirdly, I have some new year's resolutions. I rarely make resolutions and I even more rarely keep them, but I thought that these were important
1. I will attend every lecture regardless of boredom unless I pass out or have chronic stomach problems, in which case I will go to the doctor's.
2.I will more carefully read the ingredients of all the food I buy in order to ensure that there is no soy and will give up eating any products containing soy.
3.I will exercise with my friends at least once a week, even if it means that I must play tennis.
4.I will try to eat at more regular times and eat proper portions of food.
5.I will attempt to go to bed before 10pm every night and wake up by at least 7am every morning.
This is the longest list of resolutions I have ever made. None of them are particularly difficult, but if I am able to do all of these things I think that I'll be healthier and happier.
I have no more to say other than merry Christmas and happy new year to those who I haven't talked to, and I will try to write at least once every week... Okay to be realistic, every other week. To be honest I don't think that they will be as long as this one, but that's because this is my first blog of 2011!!!! Oh, there's an idea.... how about I aim to write over 100 blog entries this year!!!! That's what I'm going to do!!! Make sure to cheer me on, okay?

A Barfin' Good Blog
It is now 12:22 am Newfoundland time and I have been in the bathroom for four hours. Normally I hate being in the bathroom, but when I'm barfing every thirty minutes, I thought it would be safer to stay here than try and keep running back and forth from my room. How am I typing this in the bathroom? Well after about two hours people started to notice that I hadn't come out and came to check on me. I kept saying I didn't need anything but I adventually asked for some bread, pills and my computer. I am now fully set up in the bathroom.
Now there are many people here who think that I should go to the hospital and get a shot because I have been vomiting for four hours. Of course for those who know what happens when I get a serious stomach flu know that it's not a big deal. I have barfed for an entire night before and then been far better the next day. Though I'm thinking of going to the doctor's and getting a sick note for my lab tomorrow. The smell of the chemistry building always makes me a little sick, I can only imagine what will happen if I go as I am now. Then again they would believe that I was deathly ill.... Hmmmm..
Well, I was bored and in the bathroom so I decided to write. I really have nothing so say. On the bright side I have been able to keep down a piece of bread for a half hour so I may be able to go to bed!!! A nice warm comfortable bed sounds really nice. It is now almost 1am and I really don't want to be here any more. Strangely the atmosphere does not bother me but the fact that I am vomiting, despite my nearly non-existent gag reflex really bothers me. I wonder if it's some sort of problem with pride? hat could be it.
So off to bed to hopefully get some sleep and not come to the bathroom for at least three hours. Nighty Night!! Or is it Morning?

Playing Catch-up
Well, it seems that life has successfully gotten in the way of updating this blog. It has also caused me to fall behind in my courses. Between ridiculously loud house parties and the flu my life has not gone as well as I had hoped.
When living in residence there are two things that are guaranteed. The first is that there will be parties that will keep you up at least half the night, and the second is you will get extremely ill at least once. It just so happens that both occurred to me in the same week. I still can't decided which of the two was the worst. I'll fully admit that the constant vomiting and diarrhea for a week due to the flu was terrible, but the parties just might be a bit worse. Of course for people who like parties life here is great, but I don't like to party. In fact I would rather jump off the top of a six story building than party and drink every night. Unfortunately because I don't party there are many who think that I am fun to pick on. By pick on I mean that they bang on my door while they are naked trying to get me to come out and party. Now, there are many problems with their idea of bullying.
The funniest thing about the thought process of these would-be bullies is that they think that I am sleeping and can't hear them. This most recent time the party was literally directly outside my room. I may like my sleep, but not even I am capable of sleeping while there is a house party booming outside my door. Of course there is the little thing about me having ears that actually work. No matter how quiet they think they are, they are a bunch of drunk guys, so not really all the quiet....ever. Then there's the fact that they don't know my name, which is just rude. If you are going to insult someone and especially if you are planning to torment some one the least you can so is learn their name. Another thing is the tactic they are using to get me to come out of my room. Throwing things at the door, banging on the door, yelling obscene things, and trying to open the door are not exactly the best ways to make me want to come out and join the party.
All of this just goes to show that I don't fit in here. I have also realized this past week that I REALLY need to live off campus. Too much more of this and not only will my grades drop to the very bottom but I may just lose my mind. However, I believe that I can stick it out until April, it's just six months until my freedom. Until then I'll just have to keep quiet and try to sleep whenever possible. If all else fails, I do wake up at 6am and I can buy air horns, hopefully no one will bother me after that.
