Oh summer. How I love thee, but when all boyfriend and I do is sit around or have afternoon naps or do nothing for two weeks straight, I start to get a little bit restless, nay, crazy. I experience these emotions for one reason, summer. That reason is you. We should not be indoors on such beautiful days! Why is it that I would 100% rather be outside doing nothing than inside doing nothing? Maybe it's because I appreciate good weather. Something that one learns whilst living in Calgary is to appreciate good weather when it turns its wonderful face in your direction.
Seriously the best thing we did in those two weeks is shave Burns. We didn't really do anything else so I didn't really have anything to blog about. SO Burns noticed my distress (finally) and took me on a picnic! We went to Sandy Beach Park (I think) and it's super close to Mount Royal so Alex and Arianne if you haven't been you should really go. It's really nice there where you can play by the river.
Eating our huge sandwiches from The Lazy Loaf and Kettle. Super cute place by another super cute place called Extreme Bean Cafe. You should go to these two little places. Both are fantastic.
Then we hiked up the hill and we are so cute.
Other things of note the last few weeks of summer:
- I beat Portal 2. Call me a nerd but that game is super fun!
- I read all three books of the Inheritance Cycle to prepare for the 4th book coming out in November. Oh and did I mention that I have been waiting for the 4th book to come out for 3 YEARS???? Sheesh it better be good! I knew I wouldn't have time to read all the books during school so I had to do it during the summer.
- Boonie started full time university! So proud. He is not officially an Engineering student yet but he will be in the winter! He's taking classes that will apply to his degree.
- I went back to school for my fourth and final year here in Calgary. By June I will be a Linguist with a real Arts degree!
Upcoming things of note:
- I am going to attend a conference on October 1st which is held for SLPs, graduate students, and undergraduate students who are looking to go into SLP (and really anyone who wants to attend). I'll be entered for a draw for the application fee to get into UofA. I hope I win it!
- I'm going to be 21 next month. Time to go to Vegas and gamble all my money away just because it's legal now! YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!
*The last bullet is highly sarcastic.
we've been to sandy beach many times...why is there no sand though? I do love that place, and lazy loaf is the best!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you for almost having a degree!! I've seen and heard of your busy study life, so I know you've been working hard to get there! I hope you win the draw! I didn't know you'd be going to grad school at UofA.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I should be feeling some hint of ":( summer is almost over" but for some reason, going to the beach twice a week and still needing a fan in my room makes me feel more like "... am I on vacation??"
Don't go to Vegas, come to LA. It's much nicer. haha
Sandy Beach is so great! Only been a couple of times but it is a perfect picnic spot! And that sandwich place is amazing!!! I'll have to try out that Extreme Bean place too. I'm so excited for you to go to Vegas and blow all of your student loan money on the slots! yeeehaw!!
ReplyDeleteWow sounds like you have been busy!! And yes you really should appreciate good weather in Calgary cause it hardly ever happens!! We miss you!! Wish you guys were coming down for conference!!
