hellooo procrastination

helllooo final papers and exams
the time of year i dread the most has now arrived. while i should be churning papers out like it is my full time job, instead i procrastinate by writing blogs and creeping facebook (aka stalkerbook).
i'm supposed to be writing a paper about conglomerates. i should be attempting to connect Disney and Orientalism (Said's theory) but instead i just want to recap whats been going on with me. while mit has been going fabulous and i am loving what i do more and more as the days go on, the life outside of school has definately been a roller coaster. things did not go as planned this year...although i suppose they never do. the perfect house turned out to be awkward and often uncomfortable and the perfect boyfriend couldn't decided what he wanted thus resulting in an ex boyfriend and my new single status. This in itself has been rather difficult to get used to but i'm sure it will happen eventually. but it hasn't been all bad, the crew is still strong and the friends are still fabulous. for the first time EVER i have a group of girlfriends and i wanted to reflect on that for a little bit. i have often been the girl who has a lot of guy friends, hates the girly girls and finds most girlfriends are not trustworthy and can do some pretty awful things. i was lucky to find the opposite in my roomie (who i will miss dearly when she leaves me for banff this summer) and also managed to get some lovely lady friends this year. my mom used to tell me that its important to have a handful of girlfriends but i never really quite understood why until this year. they are the kind of people who can really lift your spirits when your in a shitty mood ready to take you shopping, dancing and drinking. don't get me wrong, my boys from windermere are amazing and have no trouble getting me tanked to forget stupid things happening around me BUT they're not really the call at three in the morning when your bummed out type. although looking back so many parts of this year have been less than ideal, every year here at western has managed to give me something and this year not only did i get to really know what i love to do in school but i found fabulous girls and new ways to love london (who would have thought). there are ways to have fun in this city that don't involve the meat market at jim bobs or the losers who partake in bottle service at barking frog (which is RIDICULOUS by the way...i'm sure a rant will come soon about this one).
anyhooooot i hope it has been a good year for everyone, i wish you good luck with the final exams and the final papers. its back to disney for me and in the spirit of procrastination season...the posts will come. i apologize for neglecting you dear blog, but lets give this another go shall we....
