All is good in the hood

All is looking up for me here in sunny ontario! I found out the me not driving is not a problem, I will be able to have 1 entire week off at the first of November to travel and have my good friend Julia over (hopefully!). Also I am heading up to visit my father today for about 5 days. I am nt the closest person with my father and far from a "daddy's girl", i am way more of a momma's girl haha. But it will be good to see him before I leave and go to Toronto for the CNE...don't ask me what it is really because I honestly have no idea, but they do host it every year! When I figure it out you all will be the first to know, and I will include photographic proof that my life exists outside of the internet world haha.

Another awsome thing is that I have less than ONE MONTH before I leave for my year long au pair job/adventure in Germany; the land of large beer, beer halls and beer and cola. (yes they actually do drink this strange mixture of cola and beer, and it is actually kinda good!)
Now I am hoping that I do not returne looking like Homer simpson with a beer belly! Which brings me to anyther point. I will miss North American television!! I don't watch too much t.v anymore but still to be able to watch something on the tube other than CNN in english would be great, and the fact that they get the series about 1 year later than we do here kinda sucks. The voice overs has to be the worst part though! I hate voice overs, and I hate that it is not the actual persons voice. Like on the Simpsons Homer sunds terrible and Marge is not the same at all! But i guess who really cares! I have my laptop and I am not going all that way to watch German talk shows and CNN.

On another note I am totally tired beyond belief right now. I only got 3 hours of sleep last night and have been doing laundry all day and taking care of my dog because she got into a tin of cinnamon buns last night. But the weird part is that she just ate a piece of one and licked the iceing off of the rest! So I was left picking the remains of slobber covered buns off of the floor at about 3:30 in the morning.

I still really want some grey and forrest green nail polish and I am praying that I find some for really, really cheap in Toronto. I am talking $3 or less each because I am that stingy with my money at the moment! I mean I have not bought new clothing since before Christmas which is amazing...well actually it is hard to believe with my past shopping addiction that I held onto ever since I got my first part-time job working as a hostess at a resturant. I already have more clothes than a person needs and I am actually getting good wear out of everything, it is also great because I have not really grown since the begining of high school and I even have a couple things from grade 8 that I still fit into. I don't know if i should be proud of myself for being able to do that, or start to wonder if I should go flip through photos to see if I was actually fat as a child but never noticed it!

School is also starting again and it is hard to believe that it has already been 2 freakin years since I first blindly entered the land of parties, hang overs, walks of shame, pizza at 2 am and a little studying now and then; also known as university. I sort of miss it but at the same time would much rather be out in the realy world and out of Ontario for awhile to get some actuall experience and not just read about it in some books and listen to a professor talk about it for 3 hours a a time. I will miss the friends I made there but I know that I can live without them. It is strange but I don't NEED my friends at all times. When I am away from them I am fine but when I am with them I have a blast! I love having friends from all over the world that I can go for a year or more without seeing, but able to stop in and chat as though we have been neighbours forever. Friends want me to see them before I leave for Germany, but the sad thing is all I can think about is "how much will this cost me?". I want to have every last penny i have earned to spend in Germany. I will even put off seeing university friends to do this. I feel bad for it but I know that this Au Pair thing is not something that everyone does and is a once in a life time opportunity so I want to have the best time I can have. And good times sadly cost money. I want every red cent I own to go towards beers and festivals, train rides and clubbing, ice cream and coffees, markets and travel. If friends are ment to be then they will be there when I returne,or who knows maybe a few of them will do some travelling and I could see them in Europe!

Only about 30 more minutes until I leave so I think that I will play around on Polyvore and do some mahjong, because I am that cool!

I hope everyone is enjoying the last week of summer holidays or for those like me, just another week before the fall clothes start to make an appearence. :)
