this band has been playing non-stop on my ipod for the last 3 months. keeps getting better. plus, asian lead singers FTW!

i will never love you more than meeting paul mccartney.

flustered.

the last few weeks have been draining and i feel that this week has so far been the worse. i can honestly say that all i aspire to do now is to sit in my bed with a cozy sweater. (maybe a cup of tea or a chai tea latte. just saying.) when did life revolve around waking up at 6am all the freaking time. i want sleep and peace!

this article on shine was an insightful read on how i react to work + school. it’s time to tone down my “info-anxiety” and enjoy reading comfortably without feeling flustered by everything else.

montreal in 1.5 weeks. i get a mini-escape to a land just as cold. yay! maybe that’s what’s been bothering me: the copious amounts of snow and thigh-burning weather. and of course missing the bee eff effs.

now to just motivate myself i must: catch up on the odyssey, finish set of work training modules, and mark a bunch of papers (blegh). at least tomorrow i get to sleep in slightly aka 8am wake up call + tea latte before seminar.

gem!

so, i totally randomly stumbled upon this gem @ zellers today. for $2.69, three of my favourite things are all together: (super sticky!) post it notes, boston terriers, and macs! the lime green colour is also an added bonus. it was the last one and they don’t even make these bad boys anymore! yay!

oh and they’re big!

future bag?

could you be the book bag i’ve been longing for?

breakfast.

since i found out how much sugar is added to apple jacks and fruit loops (plus i’m sick of vanilla almond special k and oatmeal crisp), i have found a cereal to love: kashi’s honey sunshine. i enjoyed it this morning with a banana on the side and a nice cup of twining’s lady grey tea.

yay for whole grains!

seriously?

so the last week and a half have been tough. i can only hope that next week will be ENTIRELY different. the lowlights include:

1. spilling water all over my macbook pro. (it’s alive! thankfully.)
2. creating a monthly schedule that included 50+ time off requests. majority pertaining to reading week.
3. slipping on ice and hurting my arm.
4. getting little sleep.
5. having an assface be super douchey to me at work. ass.

now these are just events. this does not include the stress of school, work, and feeling freaked out by my overall consumption (material goods and food). i think i need to chill.

that is all. now i have to practice for my presentation tomorrow, read 5 articles + take notes before monday’s class, read books 8-12 of the odyssey, look into essay topics on the odyssey, create an outline for a workshop i am organizing, finalize an incentives program for the FDAs, write a few emails and postcards, book train tickets to montreal, pay bills, etc. all this week.

tea please.

so, i kind of regret not getting some of these mugs when i was at an anthropologie in LA. they’re kind of darling aren’t they? my only fear was that they might break since they were quite delicate. perhaps i can make a pit stop at the toronto location.

p.s. i got to sleep in today! i woke up at 8:45am. woo!
