Also, my new obsession is this band called One Direction! Has anyone heard of them!? I'm kind of obsessed. They are a British and Irish band. Their newest music video for the song "One Thing" just came out, but I also highly recommend the song "What Makes You Beautiful." Check them out!!!
1. What Makes You Beautiful:

I guess I truly am a teeny-bopper...what can I say? haha :) I hope you enjoy the songs!
Next week I'm going to do a post of these recipes my roommates and I are trying! Have an AMAZING week :)

My dream wish....=D
Its a frosty, and cold Friday day today but that won't stop my mood from changing. This week I got news from my friend that her old coach was looking for a new part-boarder for her beautiful horse, Ballagh.
The best part is, even though I won't be doing cross country anymore, I will have an opportunity to be able to ride in Trillium jumpers classes, and slowly gain points, and if i gain enough points, and win enough shows I will be able to have the opportunity to ride and compete in next years Royal Winter Fair. Which in the horse community is a huge achievement. I would be competing alongside great riders, which would be a fabulous opportunity.
Anyway, That is my big new for the week. Haha. It's been an uneventful week at school, just the normal projects, and such. Although in my marketing class, we did a fun activity where everyone in our class (ie. all 75 of us) had to make a laughing circle. What we did was one person would lay down, and another person would put their head on that persons stomach and so on until we got an awkward looking circle. And what was suppose to happen is with the motion of your head on someones stomach who is laughing, which is bobbing your head up and down quickly, is suppose to make you start to laugh. Which in turn will make the person with their head on your stomach start laughing, and so on. It's a great ice breaker if you don't know anyone, but it you have a very large personal bubble...that it isn't as great. Haha. But it was fun anyway. Everyone really got into it, and had fun.:)
Anyway, I will like you all get back to your days. Next week will be my update of what happens tomorrow afternoon and let you all know if my dream horse has come or not.:P
See you all next week!!

*Cough cough....fucking sore throat >:(
But then just like 10 minutes ago I realized I had ALMOST forgotten again - but look! Here I am, not only blogging, but blogging on time. I know, I know, sometimes I impress even myself :P
SO, basically nothing has been happening in my life because I was sick all week. You know when people talk about the "Man Cold"? I think I have the girl version of that. I'm a major wimp when it comes to getting sick, I hate it, it's inconvenient and it hurts. I've honestly had this stupid sore throat for like EVER. Or at least since last Friday. Which is a long time, trust me. The thing that really bothers me is that I gave the cold to my sister by accident and then she proceeded to get over it in like two days...alone again, naturally (with my illness that is :P).
ANYwho, it sounds like everyone has been super busy and having some pretty good times, or at least interesting times. I guess that's the weird thing about not having a job or school right now; I don't notice the changes in schedule except where it affects me like when I get to see you guys more often!
Okay, not sure what else to write and I'm a little tired so time to sign off. I will say I'm in favor of re-instating some form of friday question again if only to help inspire me in my blogging :)
Till next time

First Week Complete!
Sunday, January 15, 2012
First week back.
So i shall let you all go. I know it's 2:35am on a Saturday night, which is really late, but oh well. I've been sucked into the Facebook app "Sims Social" vortex and it's starting to become addictive. Ha-ha. Both my friend and I have now become very much engulfed in this game. Ha-ha.
Cheers!

- My new philosophy prof is really old. Why is this interesting? Because… because I've never had such an old prof before. One of my profs last year was in his eighties, but he was really active and he seemed to be more like early early 70s. This philosophy prof, however, is quite old and somewhat ill, from what he told us. I could hardly concentrate on the lecture, I was so amazed by his frailty. I… just wanted to give him a hug?
- Textbooks are so expensive. Gah. Got one more left to buy, as well as a lab manual (where they describe all the experiments you're going to do in a certain course).
- Work tomorrow. Woo, hope I don't "waste" 4 hours as I sometimes do, puzzling over the data that I have to work on.
- So many taekwondo practices. It's crazy. We're gearing up for the next competition, which is REALLY soon. So they're putting the pressure on, and I'm a-gunna die. Maybe I'll opt out of this competition, keep the pressure down?
School Ughhhh :(

Sleepy post :P
I havent exactly been SUPER busy....well I kinda have. But I dont really have the brain power to remember my past week so I'll just say I've had some really fun times with friends (more than one movie night in one week = AWESOME) and I also love my new straightener (random side note I know but its true!!).
I hope you guys all have a good week starting back in your classes :D Hopefully I'll be starting up my own guitar lessons too so I'll have something to report on for Thursdays :P
Till next week
Time to go sleep on my NEW mattress!! (like sleeping on heaven)

Saturday
It was an interesting year last was, but this year will be even more interesting and fun!:)
My week was a lot of fun, I got to hang out with all my friends, for long periods of times. Haha, won't be doing that again till my reading week.:( But the biggest purchase I made this week is a brand spankin' new hair straightener. My old one was a cheap one from Shopper's Drug Mart (it's pretty much the same as Walgreen's for those of you in the states.:P) but this one i got from a specialty store and was shown how to work it and such. I really like it, although I don't necessarily need one cause my hair is naturally straight slash a little wavy. Haha
But next week i start back into my second semester of school!! Ahh, it's so weirdd.
Although to celebrate the last day of freedom, I am going to brunch with my family, and some of my dad's company. It's my dad's company lunch, but for me I will be celebrating for the last day of my freedom. Haha.
Anyway I shall let you all go and finish doing what y'all were doing before reading my rambles.=P
Hopefully I shall see you all next week.:) I promise that this time I'll post on time.:P
Cheers!
-Mars.
