This weekend pretty much my entire rez went home so its just me and my friend kaustubh(he's my RA..but not really lol) so we're oging to go out and find some fun things to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last weekend i took some friends from here home with me and showed them around sarnia. They actually love it there lol. Friday, we volunteered at the Big Brothers dance and then went to a party with shelly crowe, pat daly and met up with bethany there. Saturday we went shopping at Lakeside. It was my friend christinas first time ever leaving canada so that was pretty exciting. Saturday night i took them to &lt;strong&gt;reapers realm&lt;/strong&gt; - a bus that has no roof and that drives through a forest while things jump out at you and people try to scare you. After that we went out again with patty and michelle crowe. Sunday we ran around in the morning trying to get our costumes together and then we came back to Mac.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This past week was halloween. The fab four plus Anne were M&amp;Ms. We won best costume .. kind of sad really that no one could be M&amp;amp;Ms. We went out to a party on halloween and thats pretty much all i've done this week. I wrote a couple of essays and tests and what not. Basically i've just been procrastinating with everything... but maybe spending a weekend with no friends with help me out lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyways thats all i've got! so heres a picture of us from halloween...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2281/564/320/M%26M%21.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BIG BEEF OF THE WEEK: super awesome blogs being erased&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8369033-116259005854915478?l=elysed.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://elysed.blogspot.com/feeds/116259005854915478/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8369033&amp;postID=116259005854915478' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8369033/posts/default/116259005854915478'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8369033/posts/default/116259005854915478'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://elysed.blogspot.com/2006/11/promise-is-promise.html' title='A promise is a promise...'/><author><name>Elyse</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13267946872483018104</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='15056012946049972046'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369033.post-116173566558383422</id><published>2006-10-24T17:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-10-24T17:21:05.616-07:00</updated><title type='text'>long time no see</title><content type='html'>hello friends! so apparently i died a little bit these past couple of months.

I like most of my classes still but really really hate tutorials, my french class (its pointless) and political science (because he just reads his lecture notes). I've done pretty well on most of my assignments but i could probably do better if i didn't leave it until the last minute. Oh well story of my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This weekend coming up im going home with three friends from here. I'm going to show them sarnia and take them on reapers realm.

So, i'm all moved in and loving it. i have a group of friends.. aka the only half normal people in my rez and we usually hang out most nights. I also discovered DC++ and i download everything in like 1 minute... so i've become a DC++ junkie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frosh week was fun the first two days and after that i got tired of it quickly! i became really good friends with my welcome week reps and usually just hung out with them. They called me the welcome week grinch but loved me because i danced a lot. The engineers here a really mean and like to pick on me because im in humanities. They call us spatulas because they say we're going to take our degrees and work in burger king.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Classes are all good. i really like all of my classes except for multimedia and french. French i'm in the top level but the kids in my class can barely speak french. My prof and TA are right from France. Like literally got here two days before classes started. I like my TA anyways, he's pretty funny and likes the south of france a lot. Maika he wears the same pants that Stève always wore... i guess they're really popular in france.  I've met a lot of people in my classes, some really creepy, others super nice! one guy told me my hair smelt like a bushel of wild flowers... i guess that's a compliment.

I havn't been working a lot lately because i've been needing a break from that place for a little while. Sometimes i find when im there i forget there's actually a world outside of those uber sensitive sliding doors. Or behind those slightly tinted windows so you can never tell how nice of weather you're missing out there. It becomes this whole other demension where everything is topsy turvy in there. Like every department is their own country and when i venture over to their departments i honestly feel like a foreigner. It's just strange and spending 8 hours there in one day is like living in foreign world for 6 months lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So luckily with those days i had off i got to spend a lot of time with my friends. We didn't really do anything out of the norm. We went to the movies a couple of times and saw Hostel and Broke BackMountain both were pretty good, I didn't really see a lot of Hostel as im not that big into scary movies. We also took a trip down to the london area to check out the prom bus and i must say that i love it! I'm so excited about it... i may have hated it before and we may have refered to Bethany as the prom bus nazi because honestly Hitler would've been proud but im glad she did become the prom bus nazi because it's awesome! So for me being excited about prom makes the prom bus good because i hate prom. I hate everything about it, i think it's a stupid overrated old tradition that really doesn't appeal to me. However if i don't like the dance i'll just take the party to the bus and have my own party out there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's really it for now all that i have planned for now is exams and finishing up this brutal semester... i cannot wait! ~peace out&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BIG BEEF OF THE WEEK: ema's sour milkshake... otherwise called a milksour... gross&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8369033-113798015551985982?l=elysed.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://elysed.blogspot.com/feeds/113798015551985982/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8369033&amp;postID=113798015551985982' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8369033/posts/default/113798015551985982'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8369033/posts/default/113798015551985982'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://elysed.blogspot.com/2006/01/clichd-but-never-to-fade.html' title='Clichéd but never to fade'/><author><name>Elyse</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13267946872483018104</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='15056012946049972046'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369033.post-113670371839843679</id><published>2006-01-07T22:42:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-01-07T23:01:58.443-08:00</updated><title type='text'>York U, HUH!</title><content type='html'>ok so i applied to university today! how exciting eh! i applied to two programs at york, and then to trent, mcmaster, lakehead and guelph. York is my first choice. I was so excited i had to call emar and tell her! Im kinda nervous its just weird to be thinking about going away next year when i'm only 17. I can barely use a telephone without my mom to help me none the less cook for my self and study without my mom warning me about procrastination. -speaking of procrastination- i remember when our nazi grade 4 english teacher made us study that word for atleast two weeks... i guess it was never to early to learn the demons of procrastination.. too bad none of it stuck!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so christmas happened and i got a computer which was really exciting. And then we had new years and that of course was a lot of fun. First one i've ever spent with ema and the gang so i was pretty excited! much better than last years thats for sure! other than that i have to go back to school on monday which is terrible... i really didn't want christmas break to end. I went to london on thursday with ema and it was so fun! i almost hit a pedestrian and a car... but those are only minor details.I was supposed to go to mcmaster this weekend but things didn't exacly work out so i must make a plan to go some other time.

It's been quite a while since i last updated but i have been extremely busy. I've been working like crazy and spending a lot of money on christmas. I'm almost done i just need to finish up tonight and i'll be done for sure. I had a call into work the other night and i answered it the way im supposed to:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"season's greetings zehrs markets, elyse speaking, how can i help you?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well the other end, a man, told me that he was offended by that and he demanded for me to say happy chanukah.... so i told him that chanukah was a greeting of the season, hence season's greetings, however i said it anyways just to get him off my back. So i switched it to Happy Holidays as sarni'a finest newspaper The Observer told me that that was prefered. So the next time you call zehrs and they don't say season's greetings its because of that man who insisted it was disrespectful to jewish people. Sorry my mistake!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;im finally finished my ISU essay for english... that is the biggest weight EVER lifted off my shoulders. Other than that school has been boring and i havn't really been at all this week because i was sick and i just dind't want to go. I know not an excuse but hey, sometimes i just can't sit through M.Petit lessons that bring all the immersion kids back to grade 5, thanks M. but i'll just look in my elementary note books!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow is a half day and we're going to Mackenzie's to exchange gifts for the secret santa.. i still don't know who has me but thats ok i'm not worried about it its probably michelle crowe seeing how she's the only one who is trying to keep it a secret. Then i work, then im probably hanging out with emar as we always do and some good times will be had! Im not too sure what my plans for christmas are yet as i don't know my work schedule! so i will fill you all in later!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;thats all for now... peace out!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BIG BEEF OF THE WEEK: having someone tell you that they're greeting isn't included is season's greetings!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8369033-113529234863834332?l=elysed.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://elysed.blogspot.com/feeds/113529234863834332/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8369033&amp;postID=113529234863834332' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8369033/posts/default/113529234863834332'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8369033/posts/default/113529234863834332'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://elysed.blogspot.com/2005/12/seasons-greetings-err-happy-holidays.html' title='Season&apos;s Greetings, err, Happy Holidays'/><author><name>Elyse</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13267946872483018104</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='15056012946049972046'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369033.post-113426962431801533</id><published>2005-12-10T18:41:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-12-10T18:53:44.330-08:00</updated><title type='text'>YOU-scan...tough concept? i hope not</title><content type='html'>so today was the longest day of my life.

No matter what kind of musical it is, or what is about I love musicals. I love Broadway and plays. It brought me back to the days when I was in triple threat theater we traveled around and performed and did improv and had tons of fun. I miss being in musicals so I've decided that one day this year all I'm going to do is sing the whole day to make my life more of a musical. Because so far the only time I sing a lot is when I'm driving or with ema lol. I've done the narrating the day thing so now I'm going to sing the whole day. It's going to be hella cool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's really all that's new with me. I've just been doing the usual.. You know school, friends and work its become kind of redundant but last night after having writer block to the extreme I've decided that for now on I should be called captain redundancy. Because it's true I am very redundant in almost everything I do. The way I say what thirty million times a day, the way I repeat myself because I don't think anyone can hear me because I can't hear them, I'm just extremely redundant. Especially since I've said the word redundant or a form of it 4 times in the past 3 sentences, that my friend constitutes for another one... I'm just so freaking redundant it hurts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today at school I finished my ISU in society so I'm done...I can stop trying in that class now! WOOT senioritis! But I'm heading out because I have to work soon I just thought I would update because my good pal emar complained that I hadn't! This ones for you ema!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;peace out hommies~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BIG BEEF OF THE WEEK: redundancy&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8369033-113320910563628148?l=elysed.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://elysed.blogspot.com/feeds/113320910563628148/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8369033&amp;postID=113320910563628148' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8369033/posts/default/113320910563628148'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8369033/posts/default/113320910563628148'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://elysed.blogspot.com/2005/11/ode-to-musicalsslightly.html' title='Ode to musicals...Slightly'/><author><name>Elyse</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13267946872483018104</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='15056012946049972046'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369033.post-113210234836976479</id><published>2005-11-15T16:27:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-11-15T16:52:28.426-08:00</updated><title type='text'>il pleut... c'est triste</title><content type='html'>so right now as im sitting in my overly decorated basement, there's a storm outside. Im going to come out and say it and i'm not ashamed at all to say that i am actually terrified of storms. I don't enjoy them and i think they're stupid. i have for most of my life. mostly because when we were in grade 1 or 2 mlle.marie-guillant /(i forget how to spell her name)/... well she taught us that the reason we have thunder storms is because the hot and the cold are fighting and they use thunder and lighting to argue with. So ever since then i hate storms because i thought that hot and cold could be more mature than to fight that loudly. Immature weather sucks!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing new is happening in my life... Kate and i had a super awesome road trip to toronto last weekend.

Well then it started. i walked into english class and dropped all my books. i didn't really think anything of it at the time, so alyssa helped me pick them up and we just talked. Then when i was moving my desk so we could get into groups they fell down again and darren helped me pick them up. ok wow clumsy much? so i went on with my day went out for lunch, got some hot and ready's and some pop. We drove back to school, my pop fell on the ground... wow ok i really can't hold onto anything anymore. got back to school, went to science in society where we had to build our machine and my super awesome group put me in a super awful mood. Went to french class realized that the thing i spent all period working on a perfecting had been broken by another group member who clearly doesn't listen to "hey don't push so hard on it because its going to break the ramp i just spend an hour perfecting." yea that was awesome... so lawdy-dah moving on... the last bell rings and it get all my stuff together (including the broken ramp that i spent all period perfecting, then worrying about) we make our way out into the hall ...yea my arms are so full.... and everything falls... i mean EVERYTHING... marbles are everywhere, my books are on the ground and my ramp that i spent the last two periods perfecting then worrying about its demolished... so while everyone stands around telling me how much this sucks i have to remember my day.... jill and kevin tite help me pick this one up. So we got into ema's car to go home, i hold everything (bad idea considering my luck with holding things today), drop kevin off at home, make "subtle" hints to a certain person that ema has no gas.. ya ok.... get my work clothes because i was supposed to work at 4:45, go to michelle's house to work on our super awesome science project that i officially hate. We work on it, finish it, everything's going great until... I went to get dressed for work and i dropped my deodorant in the sink... usually not a big deal but considering my day i thought it was a little bit odd, or that i was developing some kind of condition maybe. So we're going to work, kind of a little late leaving, rush into work, sign in, run upstairs meet some new hires, run downstairs look at the schedule.... look at the schedule..... still looking at the schedule... one of the older ladies comes over and asks if i've become dyslexic... yeah hilarious ann... go outside to check the weeks schedule... oh that's great i work tomorrow... awesome! just splendid... and even better i don't have a car. go upstairs, my boss makes a point of calling me back in to talk to the new hires, and then makes another point of embarrassing me in front of the new hires by telling them i screwed up my schedule.. thanks linda... my dad picked it up this time...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BIG BEEF OF THE WEEK: omens&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8369033-113097102383716977?l=elysed.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://elysed.blogspot.com/feeds/113097102383716977/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8369033&amp;postID=113097102383716977' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8369033/posts/default/113097102383716977'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8369033/posts/default/113097102383716977'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://elysed.blogspot.com/2005/11/i-dont-wanna-work.html' title='I don&apos;t wanna work...'/><author><name>Elyse</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13267946872483018104</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='15056012946049972046'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369033.post-112985792464601669</id><published>2005-10-20T21:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-10-20T18:25:24.653-07:00</updated><title type='text'>I go to northern... i'm better than you ;)</title><content type='html'>ok so sorry for the strong lack of updates... and i am still alive just very busy.
