Another year over. And a new one just begun!

This year has been really great! This post is going to be a lot like Georgie's because apparently we share a life. I have experienced so many amazing things that I never thought would happen. I have also learned a lot in this year, especially about myself. I have no regrets for anything that has happened this year! I graduated high school, got my N, got my first job, had my first kiss, went on a trip with my best friends, went to college, found something I am really excited to pursue, the list could go on. I learned that I can do things on my own and that I shouldn't be scared. College taught me to be more independent. I have also realized that I have become more outgoing, more comfortable in my own skin. I think this has to do with having a job and being forced to be outgoing. My New Years Resolutions are focus on school, do not procrastinate (I feel like that needs to be highlighted and underlined 20 times, this is a serious issue that needs to stop now!), don't worry about what other people think, don't worry about stuff I have no control over (I spend so much time worrying about stuff that I can't even control so I need to take life as it comes), exercise (I feel like a fat lump of lazy so I need to do something and Georgie if I have to hear about the yoga thing from my mum one more time I am going to go cray cray! We need to go!), and I'm going to try not to judge people so quickly. If you don't know the person you really have no right to automatically dislike them. I do that way to often and they turn out to be nice people.  Of course there are a few more things that I wish to happen this new year (hello boyfriend?), I'm not going to worry about it, the someone will come when the time is right. Look at me go, starting my resolutions. 2011 was a fantastic year! Let's hope for an even better 2012! Happy New Years!!!!

I went a little picture happy but who cares! It's New Years!! 

Christmas!

This Christmas was so much fun. I was so spoiled but I am very grateful for everything that I got. As Georgie said, my favourite part is definitely spending time with my family. I really love them all so much and couldn't ask for anything better. Apparently my aunt and uncle might come down next year at Christmas. That would be awesome since the last time we spent Christmas together I was just a wee baby. I guess we will see what happens.

Twas the night before Christmas

I can't believe its actually Christmas Eve! I'm really excited but not at the same time because it doesn't feel real! I'm glad I had to work today because I always get so antsy waiting for people. Now everyone has left and it is 15000 degrees in my house! I hope I can sleep tonight since every year I wake up at 4.

I just had the most amazing bath ever!

The bath bomb that Georgie got me for Christmas was absolutely amazing! It was Christmas in a bath! Thanks friend!

Christmas Baking!

Today I decided I was going to bake! I made pumpkin scones and red velvet cupcakes. I also planned on making gingerbread men but I ran out of time so I think I will do that on Friday. And I am pretty pleased with how they turned out. When the red velvet cupcakes came out of the oven, they looked a little questionable but they are actually pretty good! Im excited for tomorrow! I am going downtown for Georgie's birthday and we are going out to eat and maybe check out some Christmas stuff! Yay!!

Why is every little thing making me cry?

I could be happy as a clam then someone will say something and I will burst into tears. Like I can't even stop them. I'm an emotional disaster!

"Heartbeats fast

                                                                 Colors and promises

How to be brave

How can I love when I’m afraid to fall"

"The sun is filling up the room

And I can hear you dreaming

Do you feel the way I do right now?

I wish we would just give up

Cause the best part is falling

Call it anything but love"

Happiness!

Everyone wants one thing in their lives: to be happy. However why is this always so hard to achieve? Happiness cannot be defined as a specific thing. Everyone has their own meaning. People are always looking for something bigger and better instead of living in the now. Once something good happens to them they always look for the next greatest thing. Always looking ahead, looking to the future, when the present is flashing by them. So I say, do what makes you happy now. If something once made you happy you should have no regrets. Live your life for you, no one else. After all it's your life, and you only get one chance.  

Why do I over analyze everything?

And by everything I actually mean every detail of my life. Anything that happens needs to be discussed until the river runs dry. Every aspect of every situation needs to be talked about until I know I am making the right decision. It is becoming a problem. I just need to relax!!

Today after a very long day at work I come home to Christmas lights put up in my room!! They make me soo happy and filled with joy!! Then after dinner, my mum and I cranked the Christmas music and spent a good 2 hours wrapping presents! It totally put me in the Christmas mood! I honestly cannot believe it is only 7 more sleeps! December is just flying past!

December 16th

I don't have much to say for today so I'll leave you with these pictures. I don't know why but these past few days I have felt physically and mentally exhausted. Also I feel like I have been blogging everyday for a lot longer than 16 days. It feels like forever!! 

December 15th

Today was Georgie's birthday! Yay!!!! Happy Birthday Georgie! Anyways, we went to Ihop for breakfast because she had a free thing. I got chocolate chip pancakes, hashbrowns, eggs, and bacon! And this take I was not disappointed, unlike the last time I went with Millie. After that we decided, "Hey let's go visit Millie at work". So we drove to Lougheed Mall and surprised her! Boy was she shocked! I'm really happy we went. It was nice to see her! Then we got Starbucks and instead of Grande's they gave us Venti's! Yay! Also a kid from work told me I could borrow his statistic's text book, as well as his graphing calculator! Which is awesome because that is 2 less things I need to buy.

But then we got home and got some not so great news. But I think he will make it through this. I have a really strong feeling about it. We are all praying for him. It sad that such terrible things can happen to some really awesome people.  Stay Strong!

Georgie,

You always know the right thing to say and how to make me feel better! Thanks my friend, 

I couldn't do it without you! I love you! 

A year ago today,

did you think you would be in the place you are now? I definitely did not! It funny how life can throw you a curveball.

I'm extremely happy right now! No one can bring down! School is finally done, I have awesome friends that love me, and things just seem to be going great!

I really like this picture so I thought I would include it even though it has zero relevance. 

Songs!

It's weird how a song can take you back to a particular moment like it was yesterday. One song can bring back a flood of memories. For example, Party Rock by LMFAO. Every time that song comes on the radio, I can't help but smile. It brings back so many memories about grad. Just dancing and laughing, not a care in the world.

Where are you Christmas? Why can't I find you!

I can't believe Christmas is in 13 days! It came so quickly! Too bad it doesn't feel like it at all. Friends! We need to do some Christmas activities to get into the spirit! We need to go skating and bake! And Christmas crafts!!!! Or we can just watch Christmas movies.

I wish I could read boys minds!

I really can't help but like you. Just when I think I don't like you anymore, I see you again. I really wish I could know what you are thinking since I'm getting mixed signals!

Long Day!

I just woke up from a little nap. It was great! Today has been a very loooooooonnnggg day! And it's not even close to being over. At least its something exciting to look forward too!

Christmas Shopping!

This post will be very similar to Georgie's but I figured I needed to say something also. Georgie and I went to Coquitlam Center to get some Christmas shopping done. This was sure accomplished. All I need to get is something for my friends and I'm good to go! Well I have part of your guys's present but I need something else. Once we figured out a plan it was pretty simple. We went into the body shop and we got these 40% off coupons so of course I had to use it. I got myself a body butter and a lotion for my ma. I also decided when I was in London Drugs that "Hey, I need yet another sparkly nail polish". But I feel in love with it and it was only 3 dollars. I call that a steal!
Tomorrow morning I have to work at 7! I don't think I will make it! I had a bath tonight so I won't need to shower in the morning, because I am so dang smart!

PS. 16 sleeps until Christmas!

Changes

Leaving high school is sorta bitter sweet. 6 months ago I didn't want to leave and I was scared to face these new changes. But now that I think about it I am so happy to be out of there. I'm not going to lie there are some times where I long for the days sitting down our loner hallway, laughing and not caring. Or knowing everyone in you classes and feeling totally comfortable. I miss seeing my friends everyday, that's what I miss the most. I didn't think I would miss them as much as I do, I didn't think it would be this hard. But it is. But then there is college and something about it feels right. I don't really know how to explain it but it feels like this is the place I am supposed be in at this point in life. I feel more independent, and I like it. I used to be scared of change, who am I kidding, I still am. But i'm starting to accept that change is meant to happen and you can't get anywhere with out it.

PS. 17 sleeps until Christmas!!!

What a Relief!

I don't think I have ever been so happy to be finally done a test! The class isn't even over yet but the most stressful part is! As soon as I walked out of there I had to restrain myself from smiling! Thank God!

I have lost my mind!

Today I had a chicken breast for lunch. I really quite enjoyed it! So here I am studying away when my mum calls me into the kitchen. She sounded kinda panicked so I ran in there. She is holding up the box that the chicken was in. I thought I was in trouble for having it. Turns out instead of putting in back in the freezer, I put it in the cupboard and as she was putting the dishes away she found the box of chicken. But since it was sitting out all that time we had to throw it away, which I felt bad about, but it was still pretty funny.

4 hours of studying biology.....

... and still no where near where I need to be. I feel like I know a lot of the main concepts but I need to work on the details, but those are the most important parts. This is the most I have ever studied for a test. I better do good! I'm sure you are all sick of hearing me complain about school but don't worry! It's almost over! Then we will be back to my "exciting" life! And by exciting I mean incredibly boring. Maybe I will have some interesting stories soon.

Can school be over with?

As of one hour ago, I have no more classes. You would think I would be a little more excited. Nope! This stupid Biology exam is actually going to kill me. Slowly and painfully! The test is on Thursday and the amount of studying I have done is about the same as my love life, nothing. Tomorrow I am dedicating all day to Biology. Instead of Wednesday it is now called Bioday. "Mia what day is it today? Bioday." At least once this is over and its the weekend! Something to look forward too!

PS. 19 sleeps until Christmas!

December 5th

So today was a very stressful day. Last night I went to bed at 1:30 and I woke up at 8. I only had 1 and a half pages of my essay done. So this morning I powered through 4 and a half pages. At one point I was like this is not getting done. But at 11:30 I finished! It was such a relief! But then the printer was being stupid and jammed but in the end it was printed. Then after school my mum wanted me to go pick up a jacket for my brother for christmas. I was praying to God that the guy that was in there on Sunday was not there. Let me tell you the story: My mum and I go into Zumiez to look at the jackets. Well we find one that my brother might like so my mum wanted me to take a picture. I didn't want to take a picture because thats awkward and I didn't want to get in trouble. Well my mother decides to ask the rather cute boy working there if I could take a picture. He is like sure, go for it. Then my mum is like oh good because she was freaking out. Then I was embarrassed and awkward and the guy just kinda smiled. Good times!

In response to Georgie: I totally get where you are coming from. I definitely feel the exact same way. I feel like I am wasting my time, hung up on some guy, who doesn't even notice me. I think to myself, if he really wants to talk to me then he would. But then again he is "shy". Who knows! I sure don't! Sometimes I wish I could understand the mind of boys. But maybe that's the mysterious part.

PS. 20 sleeps until Christmas!

So it's official: I'm an idiot!

Here I am at 1:52 pm on Sunday just starting my 6-7 page essay on Domestic Violence for Sociology thats due tomorrow. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to work 2:30 to 11 tonight. So now I have to get ready to go to work. Tonight is going to be a long night and it is going to be a very early morning to get this done. Ohh the life of a procrastinator. Why am I starting to procrastinate the most when it matters the most! I'll keep you updated on this essay of mine!

On the plus side, My mum and I went to the mall this morning because the dress I just bought is now 40% off. So I ended up getting $18 back! Yay!! I also got my present for my grandparents and Georgie's birthday present. Glad I'm accomplishing something important in my life.

PS. 21 sleeps until Christmas!! (I forgot to do this yesterday!)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

So today I come home from work with the Christmas lights up and the tree ready to be decorated. After dinner I blasted the music, Christmas of course, and me and my mum decorated the tree. This always puts me in a Christmas mood! I think its almost time to start blasting the Christmas music in the car! YAY! I love Christmas!!

I like morning tea with my friends!

They just make everything better! Even though its only once a week for a couple of hours, it makes me a whole lot happier.

Things to Do This Weekend: 

• Finish Sociology essay, or rather, start and finish Sociology essay.
• Start studying for Biology. So far I'm already behind schedule because I said I would start a week before the test, well that was 2 days ago. 
• Clean up room. 
• Finish English essay.
• Read Chapter 3 for Psych and study for quiz.

Some how I have to manage to fit all that in while working 14 hours. Stressful times! But its almost over!!

PS. 23 sleeps until Christmas!!!

Shoes!

Yay!!! It is finally December, one of my favourite months! I also think I might do a christmas countdown! Anyways, today after class I went to the mall with Georgie. Since we both didn't have our second class we decided to take advantage of being so close to the mall. As we were browsing the stores, I decided that I would really like a pair of black suede closed toe heels. As we all know once I get an idea in my head it the only thing I can think of. We walk into Spring and I see the most beautiful shoes ever! Well not the most but I sure loved them! They were just what I was looking for. So I got them!

I really don't know why I love them so much but I do! I think its the silver embellishment on the back. They are also quite high but since they have a pretty big platform they aren't too bad! I cant wait to find an opportunity to wear them! 

PS. 24 sleeps until Christmas!!!!
