I feel very emotional today. I was just catching up on my blog reading's as I've been away for the past week and the one's about Amki really hit me hard. I know our level of friendship isn't as deep as Sierra or Sarah but it is really fucking weird to think she's gone from. Every time Amki came to Mullock it was just that something extra special; whether delicious food, yummy drinks, a beautiful song, or her just being an entertaining drunk, I really enjoyed her presence. Sweden is lucky to have her back <3
On my trip last week I also got to spend some time in Ottawa with my old roomate Lenore, and it really made me miss her. Mullock has evolved a lot over the past two years but Lenore was there for a big part of it and i can't even explain it but sometimes the house just feels like it's missing her. I want to be able to go downstairs and see her making art (or bacon?), I want to be able to have someone to talk too about how fucking amazing gracie is 24/7. Sometimes I just want that feeling back and I can't. Don't get me wrong, I love my roomates now too, but I miss Lenore in this house. (I'll probably just break down when Joey leaves...)
So basically, it's really weird that all these people are leaving and I am just feeling a little empty lately. I think when exams are done we need to have a good old fashioned Mullock BBQ, perhaps to celebrate the wonderful Stephen Smith's birthday!I have to cut this short now because I'm going to be late for class! More to come!

Time flies when you're in love.
Sometimes I write words down, such as I just did with 'flies', and it seems ridiculous to me! Should it be flys? That doesn't seem right either. No wonder people find the English language so frustrating!
On with the point, I can't believe I met Smit almost a year ago! We haven't really been keeping track of our anniversaries or anything but I just thought about it and we met last August, which is fastly creeping on me! I'm trying to think that summer hasn't really started yet because so far my sumer has been very un-summery. With a combination of terrible weather, being a full-time student, having to watch two houses, and volunteering with three different organizations I've barely had time to have a social life! Although on Saturday some of my faves came up for a birthday bbq and we had a lovely night <3.
Me & Smitty are going to Ottawa/Montreal in about a month which I'm JACKED about because I get to see Richard, Lenore & Nicola :D As well as go to a sick music festival! However, the timing could not possibly be worse. I didn't know this beforehand but that entire week is one of SIFE's biggest projects - 'based in business', it's going to be a crazy week that I should be here for but alas, I am not. As well, it's a week before finals. (I know, I'm an idiot). On the bright side, I've been studying my fucking ass all summer and it's been paying off. (OH HAY 90's, i kinda love you, please don't go!) Everything is booked and done so I can't really see me not going at this point, c'est la vie!
Right now though the sun is shining (in Flatrock anyways) so I shouldn't be here bitching about the weather! I'm going to go on a walk with Lemon & Motor : ) Flatrock swimming soon anyone?
With Love,

This weekend was such a mess. I'm so scared of losing the people I love most and for some reason this makes me act like a total bitch.
Anyways, everything worked out so no need to dread on it now. School is going well, surprisingly well... summer term with only night and distance classes makes my MUN life 10,000 times less stressful! I wish I had discovered this revelation sooner because this is my only chance to do another summer term. Unless you count New Zeland next winter, because technically over there it will be summer : )! Beaches and koalas? I can't wait.

High Spirits
lately i have been just LOVIN' on life, and i seem to have found my the key to my happiness: involvement
I finally got off my ass and joined SIFE (students in free enterprise)! I'm already really excited about it. The project I'm most involved with right now is helping connect people with disabilities with possible employment. 65% of people with disabilities in Newfoundland don't have jobs! We had two round table discussions with local businesses, and another with not-for profit organizations about this issue,and have a third planned for next week for those with disabilities. During the discussions the most common issue that came up was a lack of a clear resource for organizations to find these potential employees, so we're going to create this resource! It's a big project but I'm really excited to take part in it!!
I've been really busy lately but it's in a good way. Getting outside more, getting involved, studying my ass off (exam time yayy..).
Thanks for letting me share
