since humans are amazingly complex.
im just going to throw thoughts out on this blank screen right now.
i am so curious about people, about their lives, about their thoughts. i've probably mentioned this before but i want to know it all, as in i should have studied psychology. instead i studied kinesiology.. which is studying human movement, anything physical. i know how the body physically works. i can pretty much name all 206 bones in your body and give me the right instruments i can even tell you the rate at which your body uses oxygen, the water content of your body and even whether or not you have an abnormal heart condition. if you have lost sensation anywhere on your body i most likely would be able to determine which of your spinal nerves is being compressed (or damaged) and i can properly bandage a sprained ankle or dislocated shoulder. sure my degree is extremely practical but how can i understand humans if i haven't studied the psychological aspects. this i find most fascinating. i know we are all physically different.. but psychologically i think differences between humans are impossible to understand. i dont even think each one of us can properly understand the way our own brains work enough to explain it thoroughly to anyone. if i were to explain how im feeling right now, how im thinking.. im pretty sure words such as frustrated, hopeful, curious would come to my mind. that is how i would describe them but really these words are subjective (as many descriptive words are). does frustration bring on the same emotional or physical reactions for me as it does for terry or my sisters or anyone else? and describe the intensity? whoa.. that just got confusing.. and it also brings on my next curiosity.. how different will two people in the same situation feel and think. i'll use an example of two people in a relationship.. if one in the couple is independent and one is completely dependent.. how would each be affected in a semi-dependent relationship.. maybe the independent individual is more stable.. they would be fine if the relationship drifted slightly more towards dependent while the other may be unable to bear a more independent relationship (or vice versa). does this make sense? maybe not. i cant explain it more, i cant explain my thoughts in a way everyone would understand because its impossible to verbally (or through typing) discuss every factor that comes to mind when these questions come to my mind. i think my point is.. its hard to understand people fully because i find it hard to understand myself fully. its not a morbid thought.. i think people get by fine and can be entirely happy without fully understanding everyone or anyone they know, meet or love. we are all just complex and i love it and hate it all the same.

awkward and awesome
awkward
- guinness was trying to mark his territory on his walk a few days ago.. except guinness doesn't pee like a regular male dog, he squats like a female dog. it was awkward to see him push his butt up against a pole and pee on it
- when you are in a bathroom stall and someone from the next stall (when you dont know them) asks you to pass them toilet paper
- having some women stare at our group for two hours as we were working on proposals for a union/management debate we have to do in class.. literally this women was sitting on a chair behind me, my back was to her and she was staring over my back watching our group the entire two hours.. she would leave for two minutes at a time but she always came back.. i swear she was a spy.
- showing up to an interview wearing uggs.. (i have my reasoning for this.. class from 10am - 2pm and getting the email at 10:45 to come for an interview at 2:15 - but still awkward)
awesome
- i got three offers for a HR placements for the coop we need to go in school.. one of the three was one i really wanted.. i accepted that one and im going to be working in a hospital!
- its thursday! still loving the fact that i have thursdays off school!
- i got my exam schedule and i only have one exam on friday april 20th and its the easier of all exams.. meaning i get to go to the death cab concert i've already bought tickets to go to on the thursday night! i thought i was going to have two exams that day..
- red velvet cake ice cream!.. terry bought us some to try for dessert last weekend and it was amazing!
- guinness was trying to mark his territory on his walk a few days ago.. except guinness doesn't pee like a regular male dog, he squats like a female dog. it was awkward to see him push his butt up against a pole and pee on it

they make me smile
so today i'd do a little favourite things post.
these are of few of the things that keep me smiling and keep me happy when school is stressing me out.
two more months and im done this program! i mean, i love the program and material and all.. i just hate the mass amounts of group work and the fact that we have 16 projects due this semester.. each of the 6 classes has at least two projects (almost every week something major is due). i guess that is what happens when they make a two year graduate certificate program into a one year.
so.. here is what makes my days:

it was international womens day on thursday.. terry bought me a rose
a single rose, i love it.
*we didn't have a vase, so we put it in a glass*
who doesn't love wine.
my new french press produces some amazing tasting coffee
.. because these are some of my favourite books
i know if guinness had any say in this post..
this is what his favourite thing would be.
have a good weekend!

perfect mornings
the days i live for are not lazy but relaxing:
waking up around 8:30 or 9 after a good sleep and making a fresh pot of coffee. as the coffee is being made and the bold aroma surrounds the air, turning on my laptop and opening a browser with three tabs - gmail, twitter/pinterest and one of my favourite blog. on the best of these days the house is quiet and guinness is calm.. he lazily stumbles to wherever i decide to sit that morning and plops himself down near my feet. i'll enjoy the cup of coffee while reading blog posts or emails and once done make some breakfast.
these relaxing mornings rarely happen for a bunch of different reasons. one: i do not live alone and there is often so much going on in a house when everyone has their own schedule. two: i have morning classes 4 days a week and often those mornings in which i do not have early classes i have work to go to and three: sometimes i am just to stressed to have a relaxing morning.
this was my friday:
and this just so perfectly depicts my perfect morning. banana chocolate chip cinnamon pancakes with pure canadian maple syrup, a fresh cup of coffee made from the french press i bought the other day. an itunes playlist with the perfect mix of adele and snow patrol and i knowing i don't have to work for the next few days.
*im back at school starting monday.. booo :(
