Said the whale!

This past thursday I skipped my night class and headed to a concert at school with Mike and met up with some friends there too! It was soo fun and Said the Whale was awesome! It was so worth not going to class ha. They played my favourite song and Mike's so needless to say we left like very happy campers. My favourite song is " Loveless" check out the video, it is quite hilarious and cute. How could you not like 2 young kids falling in love and growing old together yet still looking like kids? To make the night better, we got free beers when entering. I gave mine to Mike since I had to drive and not to much of a fan of beer anyways. There was one guy beside me at the concert who was on his phone the whole time and not even smiling, what's the point of going? I was singing and dancing like a weirdo but I didn't care and neither did anyone there which is great. I hate when there are people at concerts who just give dirty looks to people having fun.We got home at like 1:30 and I had to get up at 7 am for class.

 

In other news, I do not have to wake up at 5 am anymore to go to the hospital for my placement because it is now comepleted ! yay sleep:)

Also, I know my photos have not been the best quality but with little daylight and most of that daylight spent inside due to school, it is hard to get decent photos!
I hope everyone had a good weekend!

If you have not heard of Said the Whale I recommend you listen to them! Here is there site: www.saidthewhale.com and check out my favourite song -http://www.saidthewhale.com/videos/loveless      
 

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).

 

Mary Poppins and Bert

This Halloween, Mike and I went as Marry Poppins and Bert ( me being mary poppins of course). It took us literally eight hours of driving all around town to find a vest for his costume and a blouse for mine. Who knew trying to find a plain white blouse was hard? I would find one but then it would be really expensive and even the one I got at Wal-mart was still more than what I wanted to pay! After finally finding the blouse and his vest ( right before the store closed and the store only took cash and we only had 6 bucks in cash, thankfully she took it!) we headed to my friend from nursing's party. It was really fun and casual and we met some new people. This all happened after my midterm so I was just happy to not study and be crammed in my room with books. The rest of the weekend was spent doing nothing much at all but that is what I wanted after such a hectic week!

This is the only good picture I got of us! The only thing is that is doesn't show my umbrella and purse! Well I hope everyone had a really great Halloween weekend!

Pumpkin carving

Since I had two exams one on friday and the other on saturday, I needed to have a good weekend after my saturday exam. I was so tired of studying and I just wanted to have some fun! This weekend consisted of haircuts, shopping, and best of all pumpkin carving. My pumpkin looks scared while Mike's pumpkin looks quite scary ha. The pumpkins were only a dollar and were at some random pumpkin patch that had no one there to give the money to so you leave your money in this little box. After getting our shoes all muddy, we brought these babies home. We of course made pumpkin seeds too. We added pizza seasoning to them and they surprisingly tasted good. While we carved, we watched The simpsons treehouse of horror episodes hehe. At night we got 

lazy and we were going to watch a scary movie but it wouldn't load so we watched desperate housewives. It was a nice relaxing weekend which is exactly what I needed. I have one more midterm this Saturday and then I am going to a Halloween party! I hope everyone has a good week!

The cat's meow

You can't tell from this picture, but my shirt has cats on it:). It is my first purchase from modcloth and I could not be more pleased! The colour, the cats and the fit are all purfect ;). I wore this outfit when I had my night psychology class and Mike came to campus with me since I had a really big break before class. It was great for roaming around campus and I had comfortable enough shoes to do some walking!

On saturday, Mike and I went to Canada's wonderland! I drove all the way there but not on the highways as I don't have enough experience for that yet! It took forever without the highway but it was a fun trip. I wore my polka dot jeans for the occasion. My favourite pair of denims at the moment. They're super comfortable and perfect for going on rides!

I did not go on any rides that went upside down because I'm a bit of a baby when it comes to rides. I like rides that are fast and spinny and only have a slight drop. I still went on more rides than I thought I would. The line-ups are usually bad but because it was off season we barley had to wait for any rides. To end off the night we got caramel apples! It was actually my first time having one since I always go for the candy apple. Saturday, was a great break from all the homework I have been doing and it was great not having to think about all the tasks I have to do even if it was just for one day. Now, it is Monday and that unfortunately means that I have to get back to all the homework waiting for me to get completed. I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend and Monday!

Bad Cover Band

This weekend was a very good one! It started off with going to Cora's for breakfast. A delicious breakfast place with large portions and so much fruit! I had a raspberry crepe that was stuffed with raspberries and cream cheese. It was very good! Next, Mike and I went downtown and looked at some thrift shops and mike found some really nice shoes for 14 bucks! I was not so lucky but it was fun searching! We also stopped at Starbucks and had a pumpkin spice latte mmmmm.....now that I think of it I want one right now! After sipping lattes we decided to get ready and go out to the bars for the night. I had one to many ciders and we ended up dancing to a band with no members under the age 50 singing covers that were just so bad but so funny to dance too. All in all, such a fun weekend! The walk around downtown and the pumpkin spice lattes and the ciders got me thinking of how much I love fall ( besides the crazy amount of readings and notes I have to do). I love the leaves changing colour, I like walking around campus and not feeling all gross and sweaty, and I like wearing fall fashion and fall colours.

Italian Festival

Shirt: bought from let loose clothing, Skirt: Forever 21, Necklace: Ardene, Purse: winners,
Loafers: urban behaviour

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!
