Stereophonics.

Words are flying out like endless rain into a paper cup--they slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe. Sounds of laugher, shades of life are ringing through my open ears--exciting me, inviting me. Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns, it calls me on and on across the universe.
"Across The Universe" -- The Beatles

In two hours I will be entering the gymnasium to right my last exam of the year.

For the following three hours, I will be scribbling away inevitably having a difficult time focusing for excitement to be done will override at this point.

In five hours I will done--free to once again enjoy the simple pleasures of life that do not involve having my head buried in a textbook.

One Day Remains--excitement reigns!

Brighter Than Sunshine.

Don't you just love the companionship a lil' four legged friend brings to your life? Well, tonight, this 'companionship' was brought to an all new level when Holly came prancing into the living room quite proud of herself. I look up from what I'm doing as she sits in front of the couch where I sit and opens her mouth...

*Plop*

To my horror, out of her mouth drops a mouse. Yes ladies and gentlemen, a real live (but quite dead at this point) mouse. Terrified I called for my roommate who bravely handled the situation for me!

Well--I did it. Somehow I managed to make it through the past twenty-four hours without a nervous breakdown. Yesterday morning kicked off with my Health Education exam to which I forgot my student card for ID. After being yelled at by my professor for this slight absent-mindedness, I wrote the exam and headed to a review session. After what seemed like ages in a somewhat dull review, I packed up my bag and headed to my Sports Management exam--nothing says "no pressure" like 65% of your overall grade. This long day was concluded by an all night cram session for my Tuesday morning exam which I had barely even begun to study for. Needless to say, it was a long night. This morning, I got up four hours after I went to sleep, got ready and hopped on my bike to get over to campus. After embaressingly whiping out off (I decided to go off a drop instead of a ramp), I made it to my exam on time. Two hours in the gymnasium with hundreds of other students flew by rather quickly and before I knew it, I had completed the one-hundred and ten multiple choice questions that made up the exam. As I handed it in--I felt a sigh of relief. The stress is almost over. I came home, had a quick nap to rejuvenate before waking up and getting ready for my afternoon interview. Words have been made to describe how nervous I was for this interview, voice trembling, hands shaking--the whole nine yards. I must say, the twenty-eight minutes that made up the interview drug on longer than the two hours of my examination this morning.

BUT. It's done. Finite. The hardest part is over.

Seven exams done; 1 remains. Luckily the exam is not tomorrow and tonight, I can close my eyes and rest peacefully knowing that I can procrastinate till tomorrow.

Goodnight All.

Three Sleeps.

Valkyrie Missile.

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Life's Waiting To Begin.

Inspiration.

A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.
C.S. Lewis

God is everywhere.
He is in the laugher of a child at play,
And in the smile of the parent watching.
He is in the silver silhouette of a delicate snowflake,
And in the firey, wonderous evenings' sunset.
He is in the sound of the gentle rain falling,
And in the delight of a warm summers day.
He is in the love of a caring friend,
And in the kindness of another soul.
He is truly in all people,
And in all places, always.
God is simply everywhere.

Eight days.

Tonight, Tonight.

Time--is never time at all, you can never ever leave without leaving a piece of you and our lives are forever changed. We will never be the same, the more you change, the less you feel--believe, believe in me, believe.
"Tonight"--Smashing Pumpkins

Tonight, at ten past midnight, I stepped outside my front door to find the gorgeous night sky above and a beautiful evening awaiting. Tonight was not like any other night for any other night would either be too cold to enjoy the outdoors at this hour or too late to be out by ones self--because tonight was different. I felt as if I needed to get out of the house, I needed to be by myself to think. So as I stepped out of the house in shorts, a hoodie and flip flops with my four legged friend shortly behind, I found the night welcomed me.

Have a little faith in me.

I watched my feet with every step I took, the ground freshly wet with spring rain--rain has this unfathomable capability of being able to make everything seem new again. As I watched Holly spring from puddle to puddle, filled with this great joy and completely ruining the bath I had given her earlier, I couldn't help but smile and just be happy with the moment. There is something beautiful that exists when we dwell no longer in our regrets of the past or our worries of the future and we just live in the moment.

It's hard to get by on just a smile--but it's not impossible.

How could it be any better than this? Nine Days Remain.

Dust In The Wind.

Farewell, so long to you--we've come to the end of the night. It's all been wonderful, a lovely and wonderful time. This room will be empty soon, when the music and laughter is gone--this night will be forgot, but the joy you've found can go on. Say goodnight to--all the friends who--rock and rolled beside you...

I look around at all the faces that surround me--their warm smiles and caring hearts and I thank God to be blessed with such amazing people in my life. I don't think he could have given me better friends and for that, I'll be forever thankful. Thank-you to each and everyone of you, you all have given me a million and one reasons to smile and be completely joyful everyday!! I'll miss you all.

Excitement reigns. Eleven days.

Love Reign O'er Me.

"They are human, prepossessing, homo sapiens with full sized aortic pumps."
A quote from the one and only, Joey from Friends

The nerd is the new cool...can't believe you didn't hear.

I officially spent over ten hours today studying multiple sclerosis, spinal bifida, cerebral palsy, pervasive developmental disorder, autism, developmental coordination disorder, learning disabilities and various intellectual impairments. The good news?--only eleven days of this remains. Then, I am officially--Regina-bound.

Smile Like You Mean It.

Can you believe it?
Two finals done already.
Finished.
Defeated.
Brought to an end.
Fini.

You wake up--the only sleep you had was in the early hours of the morning as you pushed the snooze button for your alarm more times than you care to say outloud. You stumble out of bed when you realize you simply cannot wait a minute longer before getting ready for your exam, you figured sleep was more important than showering and looking presentable. Besides, the unkept look suits you--or so you tell yourself. You throw on your comfiest of clothes laying on the floor where you left them the night before, splash some water on your face, throw on your shoes and head out the door. It's a gorgeous day, only matched in beauty by the music of Chris Tomlin you select on your IPOD. It's 9:15am, your groggy and you most likely look like you just rolled out of bed (perhaps because you actually did). You sit down next to your friends at which point everyone tries to sum up their amazing weekends in the few short minutes that preceed the exam. A test is placed in front of you and for the next hour and a half, you become lost in this world of mathematical equations and graphs comparing blood lactate levels with time and angular velocity with force. Before you know it, you've reached the back page of the exam with a great sigh, you pick up your belongings, head to the front of the lecture hall, hand in the exam and exit through the doors from which you entered.

Finals countdown.
One in seven days.
Two in eleven days.
One in twelve days.
One in fourteen days.

Who I Am.

I saw the dreams you never thought you'd lost, tossed along the way--letters that you never meant to send are lost and blown away. Don't it make you sad to know that life is more than who you are? You grew up way too fast and now where's nothing to believe--the reruns all become my history...

You're still the only light that fills the emptiness, the only I need until my dying breath--and I would give you everything just to feel your open arms...

I'll stay with you--the walls will fall before we do. Take my hand now, we'll run forever, I can feel the storm inside you...I'll stay with you.

And the truth is--I miss you.
