Wow, it's been a while since I've updated my blog. So the 2 week countdown to Asia has finally kicked in. I'm quite amazed at how FAST April is going by. Perhaps what they say is right - stay busy to stay sane. So I finished off my school year at York early April and I have to say it's been my best term to date! I've been killing all the exams & papers. So perhaps after all this time, I'm finally getting the hang of school. I'm not complaining! It has kicked in at the perfect time since graduate school is around the corner!
I'm quite excited about my trip with Thomas. Honestly, I can't pick a more perfect person to be a travelling buddy with. We approach situations at very different perspectives and I really think it's a great thing to have. So, finalizing our trip is coming along and it's actually quite draining. There's just so many things to go over - places to go, transportation schedules, where to stay. Just thinking about all these things are quite overwhelming. The worst thing is, knowing me I would probably change everything the last min.
So on to other updates, I turned the big 2-4 a couple of weeks ago and I had the best time celebrating it. I'm just in a very good place right now. Can't complain!

you've lost me
Wednesday, March 9, 2011 __ *March Blues
I always disliked the unpredictability of March weather. At times, there will be moments of sunshine that gives you false hope that spring is around the corner but then there are days like today that completely makes me miserable. I'm seemly trying to stay sane by counting the days 'til I can lie on the incredible beaches of Thailand and being able to be carefree for once! March is an extremely busy month for me. With the combination of assignments due dates approaching and the frenzy that sweeps St. Alban's during March break, I can find hardly anytime to breathe. However, I know that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Today I realized how happy I am that I'm still in school, school in fact is my safety zone and I'm glad that I'm taking my time with it.
At the end of the day, I just feelextremely blessed. :)

Words of Wisdom
"I walked a mile with Pleasure;
She chatted all the way;
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say.
I walked a mile with Sorrow,
And ne’er a word said she;
But, oh! The things I learned from her,
When sorrow walked with me."
