Santa Claus parade

okay so these photos did not turn out so great! I was too cold to take pictures outside so the bad lighting in my house resulted in some pretty crappy quality photos but since I haven't blogged in a bit they will have to do!

 

My 12 hour shifts have been driving me slighty insane. Everyone is saying get used to it since when you are a nurse you will be doing these shifts all the time but what they don't realize is that I have homework, exams, and projects on top of that! I am just so happy that they end soon! This past weekend I went to the santa claus parade. This year wasn't so great ( where was the candy?) but it was fun to get some hot chocolate and cuddle as we watched the "floats" ( cars decorated) pass by us. Mike and I also went to the theatres and saw Perks of Being a Wallflower. It was really great and I recommend it! Other than that I have been staying in and trying to keep warm. I hear snow is coming tomorrow so out comes the winter boots! It is hard to blog when it's so cold out and indoor photos are bad quality. Hopefully I can keep it up. Anywho,I better get some sleep since I have to get up at 5 am ! Hope everyone had a great monday ( or as good as any monday could possibly be).

 

Italian Festival

Mike and I headed to the Italian festival on the weekend. It was filled with great food! I thought it would cool down later so I wore something a bit warmer but it didn't end up cooling off and I was quite hot! We got this dessert and I have no idea what it is called. If anyone knows let me know .It was good but way to big and rich to finish! The weekend was continued with girl time at the bars and getting somersby cider which was soo delicious.  We went swimming at 3 am and talked all night. I also found out my placement for school. I will be doing my clinical in the oncology unit. I hope I fit in well an that clinical goes well this term. That is pretty much an update on what has been going on with me. This week I will be getting ready and organized for school and seeing some friends before they head off to school. I also hope to squeeze in a drive-in movie :) Hope everyone had a fantastic day!

The not so distant future

With course selection for school coming up, I can't help but feel overwhelmed. Second year of nursing is apparently the hardest and I am so nervous just thinking about it. I get to take one elective and the one I wanted to take is a full so now I have to choose another and it looks like I don't have to many options. I feel so unmotivated to even think about school let alone pick my courses and get all the requirements for school. I feel like everything is moving so fast around me and I am just standing still. I also feel like I always waste my summer and I try to jam pack it with things to do. It's funny because sometimes I feel like I have wasted my summer but then I look back and in reality I did a lot. I hope I can look back on

this summer and feel the same way. 

These pictures were taken after work. I forgot to bring shoes that would match this dress so I went barefoot while taking the photos. I love the colour of the dress and the sailboat print is just so cute. Looking at these photos reminds me of how badly I have to dye my hair. The roots are coming in and I really want to go a strawberry blonde and then get my bangs cut for fall. I want to get it dyed professionally but it costs a lot of moola! Perhaps I will wait until I get paid or maybe buy the ten dollar hair dye if I am desperate. Anyways I am off to a family barbecue! I hope everyone had a relaxing weekend! 

I was getting really fed up trying to pry my eyes
