it's about time

Oh my goodness! I can't believe it has been more than a MONTH since I have written on my blog! BLASPHEMY! Wait a second...I think I have a good reason. Let me explain:

You see, once upon a time I was in my Historical Linguistics class last semester and I asked a couple students if they were taking any Linguistics classes the coming semester. They both said they were taking one or two. They then asked me if I was and I replied that I was taking five. They both looked at me like I was completely insane, and one girl asked me if I was crazy. I replied, "I guess so."

I am in LING 319, 311, 331, 439, and 441 namely Semantics, First Language Acquisition, Second Language acquisition, Psycholinguistics, and Phonetics II.

I am crazy......crazy BUSY that is!

I wish I could show you all my schedule for the next four months. But I'll give you a little taste of what I have been doing so far:

Enough? Yeahhhhh........

Well this week I have 3 midterms and 3 assignments due..oh and I'm working on an assignment on Saturday with one of my classmates.

THEN I'M FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE for one week. Then it starts over again.

But I have been having a lot of fun, and at least most of my classes are really interesting.

Another thing that keeps me busy is the band. The UofC is hosting a Battle of the Bands that we are competing in. It's this Wednesday. Then we have another BOTB coming up on March 4th for the YSA. We practice full band every Saturday and we do acoustic jams every Monday and Wednesday night. Think I have enough on my plate yet? Haha.

Oh and having a puppy and a boyfriend takes up a lot of time but they bring me joy :)

Speaking of boyfriend, we went shooting the other day. He had been wanting to go with me since we went to Raymond and I never wanted to. Then a beautiful day came along and we had time to go and so we went out to an abandoned house outside of Calgs.

Burns was going to drive down the driveway but then decided that the snow was too deep. We got stuck so I tried to push us out. Then Burns and I switched places, he pushed, and we got out.

We then ran down the super long driveway in deep snow with Kobe hopping in our footprints. You can see the little fur ball right behind Burns in the above picture.

So cute/happy.

I should not be allowed to use a gun. JOKES..I'm safe! I promise!

Oh and this New Years Eve was a grood ol' time! Jordan and Julie Goldthorp invited Burns and me to their 1930s dress up party! The little ones didn't have any plans so I invited them too.

This is what the little ones looked like.

Everyone dressed up! = SUCCESS and FUN





We played games and pretended we were so bad...but we weren't.

Value Village is da BOMB

So yeah...please forgive me for not keeping ya'll up to date, it's just kinda hard when you have no time. But I had time today because we didn't have full band practice today.

Breanne and I cleaned the whole house and it looks and feels sooo good. We haven't had a completely clean house since December probably haha. SICK.

Well hopefully I will fill you in on what else has happened since December during Reading Week.

Oh yeah and tonight I am cooking Burns some dinner. I am trying the Italian Chicken recipe but it all didn't fit in that widdoe cwock pot...so I had to transfer everything to a bigger container and cook it in the oven.

PS, Alex I really do appreciate the crock pot. I can't wait to try a smaller recipe in it! :)
