• got together with my best friends today - tacb!!! :) i don't know if any of you are lucky enough to have close friends since childhood (babyhood, really), but i have been incredibly blessed with three extremely different, extremely wonderful best friends who have always been there for me despite being in different cities half of the time.speaking of that particular get-together with tacb,
• have you guys noticed that many of the sushi places run by chinese ppl have really atrocious service? why is that?
• my boo (hee!) got a nintendo wii just last week, so i've been trying to sneak in some rayman raving rabbids here and there. you'd think you'd get tired of their shtick - walk by, turn to look at the screen, and then proceed to FREAK OUT and scream - but no, no, my fascination with the bunnies seems to be infatiguable. "AHHHHHH!" hehe, bunnies just wanna have fun...
• delta was really great last night. when we worship together, i sometimes look around at the friends around me, soak in the music, close my eyes, and think that this must be what heaven is like. no, not predominantly chinese. i believe that's markham. (or richmond, for you vancouver ppl out there :p ) but there's just something about these very different people with very different backgrounds and personalities finding simple joy in praising our God - singing as one voice... it's just all very lovely.
• "shout-out" to gracie for the nice chat today. thanks for reminding me how i survived my years at queen's: your friendship, our mutual intolerance for b.s. and our random but hilarious talks. :)
• school, to put it mildly, has been very stressful and generally terrible. just read the below posts and you get the idea - i won't rehash it all. on the plus side, however, i'm still scraping by slowly. my new motto concerning school is just to take things one day at a time. simple sounding, but muuuch more difficult to ---- gah! i just forgot the word i was going to write! it was a perfect descriptor and it's driving me nuts that i can't remember it anymore. and no, i can't substitute it with another synonym, it just wouldn't be right. it wouldn't convey the right emotion and understanding. if anyone can guess of the word i'm thinking of, please leave comment below.
  (p.s. it's not "accomplish", "initiate", "do", or "carry out". i think it had an "-uate" kind of ending.)
• triggered by countless lectures on allergies, ig-E's, and anaphylactic shock, i had a dream where my face had red blotches that coalesced, began to swell, and then i started having difficulty breathing. i woke up gasping for air. scary.
• is it bad that, two weeks later, i'm still on vancouver/seattle time?

the rest of this post will pretty much be me complaining about school, you are now forewarned:

i left all my trip photos are on dave's camera which is currently in his possession, so the post will have to be postponed. and to be honest with you, i'm not in the mood to write a massive entry at this time b/c i'm feeling so drained from school. already. on the *third* day back. three days into the term and i'm already behind on everything. by the end of tuesday (after which i had a total of only 5 hours of class that week) i felt like i deserved a weekend (or better yet, another vacation), so you can imagine my dismay when i realised that i still had several days to go.

i feel like i'm going to be in a perpetual wednesday state for the entirety of the term - with the previous weekend a distant past and the coming weekend too far off. i've got a case of the never-ending wednesdays... :(

next week: i've got a midterm, a pass/fail/honours lab (which is essentially another test every other week - you can get failed for interrupting the "MD" while taking a verbal rx), a class presentation, 2 therapeutics panels, and i'm sure something else which i'm missing.

it's good to be home. :)

back home from seattle and had tons of fun visiting ames there - good food, good company, nice sights, and lots of wii!!! i think i'm addicted to rayman raving rabbids now... i know bunnies just wanna have fun, but don't stay up too late playing, ok ames?

anyhow, i'm back home again and it's time to buckle down and do some work. 2006 has been an interesting year - full of ups and downs - and i trust 2007 will be no less exciting.



van/sea picture post and new year ruminations to follow.

dearest ladies and gents,

i forgot to inform 90% of you that i have been in vancouver for the past week celebrating christmas and new years' with dave and his wonderful parents. sorry! it's been a week full of sightseeing, mildly sprained ankles (don't worry brandon, i soldiered it out and didn't get crutches :p ), discovering the awesomeness that is DAISO (a japanese two-dollar store), meeting friends, sushi the size of my fist, colds and coughing fits, and lots of FOOD.

when i get back in a week (just in time for school and school assignments...) i'm going to post a more complete entry on vancouver but i can't do it right now b/c i am headed to seattle this afternoon!! ames has graciously let me stay with her for a few days, so i'm spending the remainder of the trip in seattle.

see you in a week!!
- tiff
