Starting to Look Alot Like Christmas....

Wow, the weather channel was absolutely right about this humongous blizzard we are currently experiencing! But i wouldn't of minded this if it was snow and not snow/ice/slush. It is slush falling form the skies.

Other that being sick tomorrow, I am sitting at Starbucks, with wet boots and socks. Its been four hours and still my socks are wet, and don't think they'll dry up even when I'll be done with my proposal. I walked from the bus stop for literally 3 minutes and it was a disaster. Not only did my mascara smudge all over, but my hair absorbed every inch of snow! A real recipe for getting sick.

From the moment I left my apartment I saw an accident. A truck was turning and a smart ass tried to pass him by going into his dead angle and BOOM! Along the way i saw at least two cars derail and loose control along with a couple of towings. And note that i live 4 minutes away by bus from my place. Oh but the wait for the bus was a blast too lol

Weights are Off my Shoulders...

So finals are over....I feel much better today, but I'll feel better once I know all my grades! Today I went to Brookyn to deliver food for my sister. yes I was a nice big sister today!! Everytime my dad goes back to Montreal my mom cooks us a fiest.

As much as I am happy this semester is done, I can't wait to be in the next one. I am weird like that lol. I like when my days are planed and I know what to expect and what I am expected to do. Yes , we can say a bit paranoid.

Finals, Do not Panic...

Oh! I am here in Brooklyn once again at my sisters place. It was another nice weekend. I am really happy me and my sister are back to being normal sisters and all :) She even gave me a super nice Vday card...They do say Time heals everything...

This morning we decided to go to iHop but wow, was it jam packed. A 45 minutes wait..I was a bit disappointed because i have never eaten at the famous iHop yet in my short stay here in NYC. Was actually really looking forward to it but in the end we decided to skip. We came back around 3pm and I had breakfast. Eggs never tasted this good.

I think in a few minutes we we'll drive down to Bj's and do some well needed grocery shopping and prepare a nice supper for tonight...

This weekend Ive been studying for my finals on tuesday. It has been a stressful week and am looking forward finishing this semester. Im enjoying school more and more these days daydreaming about my future...looks promising :)

High on Music Music Music...

I am sitting in the library for the past 4 hours trying to work on last minute stuff. I love that I have this English class later in the day because I can come to school early and it forces me to stay here till class begins...now lets hope I don't get side tracked too much:)

I went on a website earlier and saw the incredible line up of musicians coming to NYC and Montreal this year. I am soooo pumped. Obviously I can not see them all but looking forward seeing a few of my favorites knowing that i'll miss amazing events because of school..but it is all worth it..I got to keep focusing, because I have all my life to see these great artists! This inspired me to go to Ibiza! Yes Spain is definitely in my next travel destination.

Ill try to blog later because my mind is now all over in math and Ecet ...so stressed these past couple of days...but the end is near...its almost over..I keep telling myself that its one last push...

Back form Heaven...

Ahhh! It is the hardest week of the semester. That's how I get kicked back to reality, after an amazing week back home. I needed it! Once a semester is a must to keep mental equilibrium alive I think. I had a great little escapade saw most of my friends and my mommy. I went to this amazing place called Juliette et chocolat meaning Juliet and chocolate. Wow who ever doesn't like chocolate will after eating there. It is truly heaven! mmmm everything you order is made of real chocolate. Even in your hot chocolate they melt a real truffle in it....That was one of the nice memories along with my stay up north with my love. We spent time away from everything with nature. It was really nice. The dilemma of the day was which wine to drink and what to cook. Felt amazing...Being apart like we are, we needed it, to reconnect to put things into perspective i guess...To rekindle the flame the hopes and the dreams.... Now I have to give it a last little push till next week! The most important week of this semester. So far I am doing very well so I want to keep it up.

I missed blogging, was thinking about it every day but had no connection to Earth so I blogged in my head lol I cant believe how much snow there is here in NYC...not a drop back home. Mind you I got the biggest scare before leaving. I left a few hours before the big storm hit NYC, and didn't take a chance and took an earlier bus as well...I heard it snowed quite a bit...Looks like I'm escaping snowstorms!

Counting Down The Hours...

So here I am...at Starbucks again, studying for my little math test that I have tomorrow. I came back form Brooklyn this morning. What a great weekend I had. I think me and my sister are getting closer and closer...its always nice to see ;)

I can't wait for the day to be over tomorrow. I am very excited to go back home. I just hope a snow storm doesn't hit us tomorrow or the day after. I know that there is one not too far from NY state so I'm just hoping. It will definitely be the longest bus ride ever. At least it is during the night so I can rest up a bit. And if I cant sleep Ill do work, because last time I took Greyhound bus, there was Internet :) And I know that Ill try to be there two hours in advance so I don't sit in the back next to a smelly person near the bathroom. Oh! I hate when that happens. Last time I was lucky enough to sit next to a woman that slept the whole ride. I don't feel like talking, so the best scenario would be that I have a double seat to myself hihihi....

Concrete Jungle...Where Dreams Are Made Of....

So here I am still in Brooklyn. Two more days in the jungle till I go back to Montreal! I cannot wait. Tonight we are making a little supper at my sister's with a few friends. When can we go wrong with good food and good company...and amazing Super Bowl commercials lol. I hear it is the day that most Americans eat! I can only imagine how many chicken wings and pizzas and beers will be polished tonight...

The other day I was sitting in the subway and I see a woman come in holding in one hand her infant. She was adorable, the little kid that is. The woman was wearing heavy makeup and was in a bad mood. She threw her kid on the bench! I thought I didn't see correctly. Then she placed her kid on her side but her movement were too rough. I started feeling uncomfortable and tried deviating my attention from her, because I was getting stares of death. But when the little girl fell smack on her face and the woman didn't move or do anything i knew there was something was wrong. The little baby got up and tried to go back up on the subway bench but was too tiny. The mother yanked her again and sat her down with an abnormal force. To me this was child abuse. I felt extremely uncomfortable and useless. I really wanted to grab the kid and run...but was scared...I thought of calling the cops or doing something but didn't...who was I after all to tell a mother how to raise her kid...but I felt deep down that there was something absolutely wrong...it wasn't right...

Long Night....

So here I am awake at 10 am already posting and finishing up my labs. Wow! I'm even impressed. My sister is behind me snoring away, her friend Linnea is on a little mattress on the floor, still wearing her Uggs, covered in blankets. I don't know how people can sleep past a certain time. i am so used to waking up around a certain time that unless I go out i can not pass it. And they always say" The day belongs to those who wake up early". So i will make this My day!

My best friend called me this morning. She ran a PB. A personal Best in her 3 k run early this morning at 9 am up on the Bronxish side of town. i really had set my mind to go and see her...but last night i stayed up working till 2 am and needed to be out of the house for 7am to make it to her heat. Clearly I didn't make it. She wasn't upset because she didn't expect anyone to be there that early... I am meeting her in a bit along with some other runners of the McGill track team. They are already leaving this afternoon. I'm not too sad considering I will get to see all my friends in 3 days time! YEY

Feels Like A Good Day....

Ah! Finally an amazing day in the Big Apple! Everything went well from the moment I woke up. My eggs were tastier than usual, my hair looked better than usual, and I had this particular glow and state of mind. All this positive energy payed off! :)

I Came to school pretty early to receive amazing news/honor and then headed to do something that finally worked out for me! Yey...Later in the afternoon, I met my friend Melanie who came down from Montreal. We went for a nice walk and went to eat in the city. She came in her running gear and her McGill track pants and sweater. She looked like a true runner. She ran over the bridge from jersey to the City she was explaining to me. Wow! If i can run for 10 minutes without stopping I'm proud of myself ! lol Let alone an hour.

Ne how, we chatted away, then went for a little coffee. Then she headed back to the Armory, which is the best indoor running r=track in the WORLD! Imagine. That puts a lot of pressure on herself, and she wants to run a personal best. She has a race tomorrow morning, at 9 am. I am debating on going or not. Hmm we will see maybe Ill surprise her...

BFF in Town...

So my "bestess bestiest best" friend of all times is here in NYC! She is an amazing athlete, a long distance runner as i previously mentioned. She has two international races at the Armory in Manhattan. This will be a fun filled weekend and week. So much to do for once. I have everyday packed with studying outings and meetings. My friends from DC are in town too. They are twins and are running in the same event as my best friend. I will have to make posters! lol I think this week I'll spend the weekend at my sister's place. I like it there...always a pleasure even with the drama lol...at least it doesn't hurt!

I need a new book to read. Some days I have time on my hands and would love to get lost in a nice novel...perhaps a romance, or action...either or. I even like mystery. i remember back in the day i read most of Agatha Christie's books. They are amazing! I think I'll attack Dan Brown's newest book...

Starbucks is now closing so i better get home...I believe it will be a long night considering I m meeting my friend tomorrow afternoon before class :))

Snow...at least when I looked out this morning!

Another snowy day here in New York. My little sister called me this morning saying it was snowing...I got excited for a little, because coming from Canada i do miss snow. Plus when it does snow, it is milder outside as well. So we get a beautiful city covered with snow, and mild weather. But form what i can see it doesn't happen that way here in the city...it sure does snow, but it melts if you're not an early bird. As I am typing the sun is hitting me in the face. I am hot, especially while sipping my latte.

I am trying to do my observation report as I am typing.Earlier there was a man who cam in and asked for a coffee, then he raised his tone and yelled "sugar, sugar! "At that instant it became apparent he had some sort of a problem...The Starbucks chick, who is missing a front teeth handle it very well and said to him that there was sugar in his ices vanilla latte. Then he yelled ;'" Mix it! Mix it whit the spoon!!" I couldn't help but smile.There are currently 5 people in the Stabucks. An Asian man who keeps staring at me from the moment i got in. He is old...i guess he is mesmerised lol...there is a couple who is obnoxious and laughing out loud, a young guy ho is reading a bio book and making funny faces and a woman next to me staring out the window. Everyone is in their own little bubble....

Ill try to stay in her e long enough to finish up to two weeks of school work and my reports...I have a bust weekend and week coming up!Plus my little sister is mad sick so well spend the weekend taking care of her :))

Stressful week..

Finally back to a normal routine after another weekend at my little sister's. I always have fun when I'm over there. I will take advantage to go see her in the coming next week, because her water polo competition season start very soon. This means that she will be travelling all over the state every weekend to play against various schools. And not forgetting intense training schedule, other than the usual 6 am one. Ahh must be fun to be an athlete!!

Next week I am returning to Montreal. I cannot wait. I need to see my friends and reconnect to good times... I am really excited. I know I will be going to a cold that is not even comparable to here but at least ill be home. I do miss my king size bed and my closet and the view form my room! ahhhh...I did all take it for granted when i was living there...but I do appreciate it now...to the fullest. That goes for people as well...

This week is a big week, filled with papers, midterms and limits. I am glad this all will be done before I leave, so i can truly enjoy my time there in Montreal.

This weekend a big name in music is coming to town, Marco V. He will be in Montreal as well the weekend I will be there. I should go and make all his fans back home jealous hahah. My best friend is coming too...couldn't have been at a better time...ha! I almost forgot i have some cheering to do this weekend!!

Later today I will go sit at Starbucks and do my observation report...should be fun...and hopefully this time no one will try to talk to me and ask me billions of questions hahah...

On with my great day far...:))
