Routine?
Posted on January 14, 2009 in Misfits.
New Year. New Ways. Routine?
It’s around this time every year that people are just starting to get back into their old routines or into new ones. It’s a really fun part of the year as there are many unpredictable things that can happen and many things that can go wrong too.
Part of my Yearly routine is university classes and dance classes. This is the time of year when I easily get confused and find myself in the wrong place at the wrong time. Usually, or at least last year I seemed to find myself in the rite place at the wrong time. That’s the correct lecture hall but in a statistics class. EEK! Stats are not for me…we have never and will never be friends. This happened twice. I was starting to believe that the universe wanted me to take stats or study something that includes stats….NOOOOOO!
This is also the time when everyone starts to go back to work after the holidays. Work is normally something that people are not too used to after a good restful break of doing nothing. This means that people tire easily and become moody very quickly. I don’t like that part of routine.
Honestly I’m not into a routine yet. The next two weeks I will be spending my time getting into that routine but for now (while I still have a short bit of holiday left) I will try to finish my book and make sure I fit some “me” time in.
A good example of how much I’m still in holiday mode is when I took my cousins daughter to school this morning (pre-kindergarten) as a favour. Please note: School starts at 8am. She arrived at my house around 6am (as her mom had to go to work early and her dad is on a business trip) and crawled into bed with me. At 7.45am I realised we had overslept. I jumped out of bed, got her dressed, Made breakfast – which she had to eat in the car – and got her to school by 8.15am. In all this rush we forgot her school bag…GREAT! So I made my way back home to fetch the bag for her. Maybe it’s not just routine and still being stuck in my holiday ways. Maybe it’s just the fact that I am not close to ready to have kids any time soon. For now I think I’ll stick to teaching them and not having them.
For everyone else that is back at work and back into routine, I would love to hear about any funny things that went wrong, or any unexpected things that might have happened. I know these things don’t just happen to me, so please share.
New Year On It’s Way
Posted on December 30, 2008 in Misfits.
WOW! There’s a new year coming already.
Am I the only one that feels this year has simply flown by? There are so many things that I promised myself I would do and so many that I didn’t even get close to. So I have really been thinking about my new years resolutions for 2009. I’m really trying to make them reasonable and possible to keep. But before I get to my resolutions for next year I’d like to look back at the good in this year.
I’m so happy to say that my mom (after having breast cancer) is clean for her 3rd year now.
My cat Sushi is still alive. I love him very much and to be honest, he’s getting very old. I don’t want him to die.
Matt and I have been dating for 2 years now.
I had a great birthday this year (I was very spoilt) and spent it with great people. Normally I hate my birthdays.
I have had some wonderful and some not so wonderful holidays, but holidays none the less.

After uploading all of those holiday pictures I want to go on holiday now and can’t remember what else was good this year, but honestly it was a good year, with great people and lots of fun. Lets hope next year will be even better?!
Watching Movies
Posted on November 9, 2008 in Misfits.
Over the next two weeks I will be watching a bunch of movies. I don’t really know if they are good movies (in fact some of them might be really bad movies, in order to prove a point). Why will I be doing this? Well I have exams coming up this week and next week and the movies I will be watching are actually for my exams.
Wow, what am I studying that I get to watch movies all day long? Lucky hey? Not really…some of the movies are not so great. The movies I have to watch this time seem to be alright though.
I have already found and rented three of them on the list. The others will be a little harder to get hold of, so if anyone has any ideas of where I can get them please let me know.
The movies I have already rented are; Sweeney Todd, In Love and War, and Secretary. The ones I still need to get my hands on are; Cry Freedom, Funny Games, The Getaway, Intimacy, The Piano Teacher, Choke, and Doomsday.
I would also really appreciate any feedback or comments on these movies (but only if you have watched them please) it could really help me in my exam.
