Tomorrow's the pre-departure training for the exchange! It's going to be all day, from 8:15 AM - 5:30 PM! What are we going to be doing for the whole day? :o

I'm really excited to meet other people who are going to Japan! My friend from my Japanese class is going to a different university, but she's going to be in Tokyo too! Ahh I'm so excited and scared at the same time!

So before I go to the training, I'm supposed to fill out this host country questionnaire, and it has a lot of different types of questions about the culture, background, health, safety and academics of Japan. So while researching, I came across a lot of racism directed towards foreigners, and I'm wondering if a lot of people are going to react like that. I have meet some exchange students who came here, and they are the sweetest bunch of people I have met, so obviously, I can't generalize something like that!

Anyways, I finally finished that tedious questionnaire! I learned a lot of stuff actually. I don't think I would have thought to check all this stuff on my own!

Time to sleep, and then wake up in about 5 hours so I can catch my bus! >_<

I woke up pretty early for a Sunday~! I have to finish my part of the math assignment by tomorrow, so I'm doing it all now. However, I underestimated how long it will take me to do it because these formulas are a little hard to understand. And I hit an unexpected bump yesterday which had me in fit of panic.

I didn't buy the current version of my math textbook because it was like $120, and I just bought the previous version from someone, which was $25. As I started to do my assignment yesterday, I noticed that my previous edition book didn't have a Chapter 9. I thought that was a mistake, since the assignment was clearly on Chapter 9. So I looked up the Table of Contents of the new book, and there was a Chapter 9.

I have a tendency to not notice tiny things like that. And look how it came to bite me in the butt. A large part of the exam will be based on this chapter too, and I don't have it! Not to mention, I won't be able to finish the assignment! There was no time to borrow it from someone either. So I ended up finding an online version which  was about $70 cheaper than the bookstore, and I figured this I don't really have much of a choice, so I ended up buying it.



It's been a while! Haha I don't know why I haven't posted here! Guess it's just been a little busy.
Anyways, today is the Ontario Speech Contest in which I'm representing my university!
I woke up about 15 minutes before my alarm because of a weird, somewhat foreshadowing dream about today. Well, I had 2 actually.

In the first one, I went and did my speech, then I left my seat and went home. Then, I was playing with my brother, when I look at the time. It's 6:15, and they're apparently supposed to announce the results at 6:30, and I was freaking out that I wasn't there! If I wasn't at the place when they announce results, then I'm disqualified! So I cried because I probably lost.

My second dream was less dramatic. At the beginning of my speech, I ask a couple of questions. So when I asked them, people in the audience started answering them, which is a bad thing because it kept throwing me off! And the whole thing is being timed so I dreamed that I went over and got penalized ! And it was all because of the stupid audience! :(

Well, even though it's only 8:30, I still have a lot of stuff to do before going to contest place, so I should get ready now!

I can totally do it and win today!! I'll be confident and speak clearly and not get nervous! I just have to remember how hard I worked at this! :D

I have my last exam tonight, so obviously I was studying very hard yesterday! I found a quiet study room in my university and I just studied for 4 or 5 hours straight. Soon, it was time to go home, and I had to go to the washroom. While I was washing my hands, I looked at my reflection, and got a huge shock!

MY RIGHT EYE WAS COMPLETELY RED! I freaked out so much..! What the heck happened to my eye? My eyes were irritated all day, but I thought it was from lack of sleep! Maybe I was too stressed and blood vessels had broken underneath..! But, yeah, I freaked out and immediately called my mum! She sounded a little worried too, and said that she would take me to the doctor when she picked me up from the bus station.

As usual, the bus was late, and I had about an hour and a half (including wait time) to sit there and worry about what was going on with my eye. I seriously think I'm a hypochondriac. I just kept going through all these scenarios in my head about what it could be, but I suppose none of them were "realistic".

Anyways, I got picked up at the bus station, and we went to the clinic. Everyone did a double take at my eye, and then they tried not to stare at it. -_- I mean, I checked in the mirror, after I got in the car, and it wasn't as red as before! After waiting for 5-10 minutes, I got to see a doctor. Lol, he took one look at my eye and made a diagnosis in 10 seconds. He said that it was an infection and I should use anti-bacterial eye drops.I wonder how it happened. I don't carry around a hand sanitizer and clean my hands every minute, but it's not like my hands are filthy! Maybe I somehow caught from another person.. ><

Either way, I'm keeping my distance from people for now. I've been doing that for a while since I didn't want to catch the flu or the cold from people.

Time to continue studying. I've been so unmotivated this year..! But one good thing did happen yesterday! I handed in my application for the exchange! Yay~ and in 2 weeks or so, they're going to start the interviews! I have to prepare for that!


I don’t usually do things like this but I just need to rant a little because it’s been happening too much these past few weeks! You don’t really have to read this. 
Why can’t people get off my back about being a vegetarian?! Is that so odd?! At work, when someone is doing a demo of some meat product, they urge me to try it and I tell them “No thanks, I’m a vegetarian”, they try to pressure me anyways! It pisses me off, but I don’t ever show it. Just smile and ignore. 
Sure, they’re curious so they ask me questions. No problem. I’ll try my best to answer them. No, it’s not because of religion. No one is forcing me. It’s not because of my family seeing as my dad and brother eat meat, and my mom eats seafood. No, I have never really been curious enough to try it. I’ve been vegetarian since birth. Yeah, I eat egg. I’m missing out? Whatever. That’s your opinion. I’m content with my lifestyle.
I’m crazy? That’s just plain rude! What I eat isn’t real food? Now why would you say that? Stuff like that irritates me the most! And no, I don’t just eat raw vegetables every day! 
It’s not like I’m still holding a grudge about this but when I was in high school, my friends and I were at the mall, and they decided to get sushi (real sushi, lol  and not what I eat) at the food court. And they pressured me to eat a salmon roe one. My chopstick holding skills were pretty bad back then so I kept dropping it and all of the little eggs fell off. And then I ate it. I knew there was nothing else on it except for rice and seaweed, but just the thought of it made me sick to my stomach. Why? I have no idea! Maybe there’s some mental block in my mind telling me how wrong it is for me and I made myself sick.
Yeah, I don’t know. I’m just getting a little tired of justifying my reasons to others regarding this matter. Isn’t just saying that it’s my choice enough? Sure, I care about animals and their right to live and all, but honestly, that’s not a big part of this. 
Anyways, if you read through this, thanks. I just wanted to say what was bothering me lately. At 4:20 AM. Work’s going to be fun tomorrow. 

Haha, I've noticed that pretty much all my recent posts have been about me complaining about something, but why not? :P
It's my blog, so here I am complaining about being under stress again!
Although, it's usually my fault that I put myself under stress by slacking off.
Here's all the things I did to currently raise my stress level so high:

  1. Obviously, I procrastinated, by not doing my readings/practice problems on time.
  2. Why, oh why did I value entertainment during such an important time?! Maybe I should block YouTube until next week, and Facebook, of course
  3. Two tests within 12 hours of each other this week, and also good thing that my essay due on Wed got delayed to next week 
  4. Skipping classes to study, then not studying
  5. NO SLEEEEEEP~ (Very little sleep, actually) I've been a tired little zombie for the past few weeks. The 30-40 minutes of sleep time I get on the bus is not enough -_- 
  6. Not eating right either
  7. Excessive internets that is not related to studying..! 
Well, there's probably more stuff, but I'm running out of time before I have to go catch the train, so it's time to go. I've been really bad the past few weeks, and I ended up skipping classes. Of course, there was a legitimate reason for the week before last, when I sprained my ankle AGAIN! *sigh* 

Time to pack up quickly and leave..  >_<


So it's been a month already since university started, and things are busier than ever! D: Not that it's stopping me from procrastinating.. which is a very very bad habit. -_-

But I really shouldn't! This year is super important, as in I have to work really hard and bring my grades up! BECAUSE:

              来年、日本に留学したい!

And also learn more French. 

Even now, while I'm just listening to music while waiting to go to the bus station, I could easily just start doing some readings right? But no, I'm not.. 

I think I will do it for sure on the bus though! I don't get how I'm able to concentrate so easily in the library or the cafeteria, but it's nearly impossible to do so at home. Of course, it's the temptation of my laptop... 

Well, definitely can't waste next week! I'm so glad it's reading week.. I used to laugh at the idea of having a reading week a month after school started, but it really is necessary! 

I think I should go start to get ready since my bus leaves in 20 mins and I'm still in my pajamas. 


Or more like uncomfortableness, because I have super intense pain killers XD But I don't want to take too many of it during the day since it makes me very drowsy. I'd rather save it for when I sleep.


I got all my wisdom teeth out yesterday, and since this is the only major surgery I've experienced (I've had others but that was when I was much younger), I did not really appreciate not being put under.

I got freezing and laughing gas, but I really did not want to see the dentist's bloody tools, gloves, and him saying random worrying things like, "It's seems to have gone deeper than we originally thought. I hope it won't be a problem." He put something on my finger, which measured my heart beat, and I could hear it going crazy sometimes! Like it was steady for a while, then all of a sudden, it started beating really quickly and made a very strange noise! Even the dentist had to stop for a minute to see what was going on, but I guess I was getting nervous, even though it didn't feel like it. Well, I was breathing laughing gas, I suppose. Haha, my mom said it was supposed to make me high, but I guess I was just so nervous, it just made me more calm. 

I don't know if the freezing didn't work too well on one tooth, or if it was way too close to my jaw nerve, but I felt some pain while it was being pulled out! Not too bad though. What hurt the most was when he was trying to remove the upper teeth, and he had to pretty much yank the sides of my mouth to stretch it since it wasn't big enough. And obviously, there was no numbing out there, so it hurt like hell. I just gripped the sides of the chair and just closed my eyes till it was over. 

Gah.. I'm so hungry though, but I guess I'll just have to bear with liquids for the next few days, because I can't open my mouth much, on account of my bruised sides.. -_- 

I guess today will be a relaxing day, since any movement is painful. >_< Maybe I'll just finish reading 'The Time Traveler's Wife' and watch some movies. The book is amazing by the way. I love the narration style, where it's a 1st person view from the Henry and Clare of different time periods. I'm starting to think though, maybe I should be watching the movies before reading the books, because I get my hopes up so much and I'm so utterly disappointed when I see how they cut out or changed stuff, even though I know that it's inevitable. 

Anyways, I'm going to slowly drink my hot chocolate with milk, and read. Here's a picture from Ikemen desu ne, to which I've really gotten addicted! 

I love Ren~ <3 I hope he get Mio and Ren (the middle two) can be together (which they probably will XD) 

So I'm back from Quebec and Trois-Pistoles~ I guess that was about two weeks ago! I miss it soo much! But I'll blog about that later because my laptop has crashed and I have no way of obtaining my pictures right now.. T_T
But it was a truly unforgettable trip! :)
I miss everyone so much, especially all the vegetarians that I ate with and my housemates, but some of them live kinda close by, so hopefully we can meet up again someday! <3

I'm really bored right now.. I'm somewhat ready for school to start, but I do want to meet all my friends who go to university in another city before that.

Here's some random and awesome illustrations that I found on piccsy.com




Paris~ Je veux y aller! 

I can't believe it's finally next week..
I'm so incredibly saddened and excited for this moment. Even when the last book came out, it didn't really feel like it was finished since there were still a few more movies to come out.

I'm just so happy to be able to watch them all and have grown up with it. It's been 10 long years, but it's finally here.

I just know I'm going to cry a little while watching Part 2. Part 1 was extremely well done, except for a few minor details, but that's only me being a little anal about it being really close to the book. It really captured the emotions well. So I really want to see how the Part 2 turns out.




Ahh also, I still haven't finished packing! And I'm leaving on Saturday! I'm so excited and scared at the same time! I have to do some more laundry, but I hope everything fits in my one suitcase!

I had so much fun yesterday~ But I'll write later, since I'm going out soon!

So here's a funny picture!

It's already June! And in a few short weeks I'll be going to Quebec! I'm so excited!

There's two more classes left, and the final exam is on the 15th! So close! >_< I really have to get a move on with the readings and notes! There's going to be short answers on it this time.. So I must focus!

What else? I got my hair cut the other day~ So happy! I think the last time I cut it was almost a year ago, so it had grown pretty long! Like almost to my chest! I wasn't really planning on cutting too much, because I've only had long hair for a little while and didn't feel like going short again! But I suppose a year of neglect does lead to some damage! Especially after I dyed my hair again 2 weeks ago. So I ended up cutting almost 4 inches off! And it feels soo much better! No more dry ends! And I got lots of layers again! I really don't like having it one length~! I think I actually saw some split ends the other day o_o So good thing I did this!

Met up with Sarah the other day to hang out in Kensington market! It was soo fun.. and a little strange! There`s a lot of really cool, vintage stores there! They're also kinda pricey! But some of them are really nice stuff!

Ah, I want to write more, but 'tis late, and I have work in the morning. So glad it's an easy one this week! :D

I'll write a short one, cuz I just woke up and I want to go eat!

It was really fun~ Got to see friends I haven't seen in a long time, and I made new ones! :D
There were a lot of awesome cosplays, and some funny ones! Since it's my 3rd year, I didn't really end up running around and taking pictures of every single cosplay I saw, except Phoenix Wright ones because they are beyond awesomes! XD But I still got a fair amount! I got a lot of them for just two days~!

There was also the JE meeting! It was great meeting more Arashi fans <3 !

I was going to go today, unless there was a storm (which there isn't) but I don't think I can handle it haha.

It was finally sunny yesterday, but I got a little sunburned, by which I don't actually mean sunburned. I get an allergic reaction these days if I'm in the sun too long -_- So I don't want to put my gloves on again and aggravate it.. so just taking it easy at home today!

I bought lots of manga yesterday! Instead of wasting my money on useless stuff, I bought something I'd read! I would have loved to buy shoujo managas, but I can read them online anyways.. and I don't want to just buy a couple of volume from the series! Because when I want to read the rest, I'd have to go and buy it in Chapters or something and that is too expensive...  Q.Q
And that's why I usually don't collect manga! All I have are random volumes of series I like, and ones that I got on birthdays!

So anyways, I bought a couple of Crayon Shin-chan volumes (3 & 4) last year, so I decided to get a couple more! I got 5, 6, and 7 this time. I wanted to get 8, 9 and 10 too but that would be almost 50 bucks.. ><
I could buy it.. but sooner or later I'd feel a twinge of regret as to why I spent $50 on this inappropriate child's manga. I also bought MW (which I was looking for everywhere last year but was always sold out), Vol 2 of Oooku (大奥), and Vol 8 and 9 of Gantz! A very random selection!

Other than that, I bought a bunch of pins, a Beelzebub bookmark, a bunch of Digimon plushies (Palamon and Gomamon), a couple of bow hairties (which now that I look at them, I can honestly make them myself...) and a Taichi/Agumon phone strap that I gave to my brother.

Oh, I almost forgot! I got there a little early yesterday because I wanted to go to the Dealer's Room, and browse around, but I couldn't go in because there was an ambulance there! I met one of my friend's randomly and we were just walking around when I spotted another Hilda! I went up to her to take a picture and noticed she had and Oga and Furuichi with her too! XD Haha I was seriously excited because I thought no one else would be cosplaying from there! But my friend took a picture of me with Oga and Furuichi! The guy told me to hold this little Beelzebub he had.. and I did! But after I left and was just wandering around, I noticed that there were little white hairs all over me T_T Whatever he made Beelzebub out of left a lot of stuff on me... -_-

And that's all for now! Haha, it still ended up becoming a long post because I just can't seem to be able to stop talking!

Gah... 4 more days till Anime North and I still haven't done anything much!

I don't even have everything yet. Gotta go to China Town tomorrow to get a pink umbrella! And hopefully I can finish making the dress and gloves today!
Haha, how could I have an idea for two cosplays? -_- There's barely enough time for one!
Ok gotta start working now! ><
