Day 54: Used stores
They make full use of my favourite expression: Reduce, reuse, recycle.
I love going through all my stuff and getting rid of the clothes, books, DVDs, whatever that I don’t want, and then bringing it into used stores.
I love finding amazing deals on some great things, like dresses, and Friends DVDs.
I love buying second hand because it’s cheap, and a great way to recycle what someone else didn’t want anymore.
Plus there are so many cool gems just waiting to be found.
P.S. This post is all because I just ordered the last 2 seasons of Friends that I need to complete my collection from The Beat Goes On, a used DVD store. They were in stock in London so they are being shipped here. Yay.
Days 49, 50, 51
I can’t really say the past three days have been my best here on Hollywood…. Studying hardcore for exams is hard and I’m tired of it. Just one exam left and I’ll be free.
Things that have made me happy in the past three days:
- I still love my job and I got some amazing deals yesterday
- Fruitopia
- Hollywood went to the McMaster Planitarium - that was amazing
- Also to Motown, where we danced our hearts out and made new friends
- I bought my favourite yogurt
- Watching Friends late at night
- Sleep. Glorious sleep.
- Any minute not spent reading an article
- Looking forward to the wonderful week we’ll still have on Hollywood and in Hamilton after our last exam
Day 48: Chocolate
Yumyumyum
Day 47: Exam period
Don’t misunderstand me, it’s not exams that I like.
I just love exam period, the time of year when everyone can just hang around the house all day, study in the same room, reminisce, eat lots of food, go on lots of Timmies runs, get cabin fever, have ridiculous sleep schedules, watch many episodes of Friends, and calm each other down before the actual exams.
Day 46: Late night gos sesh
Heather and I just had a great gossip session. I just love it. And her. We’ve decided that after my Masters, when I move back to Hamilton, Paula and I are moving across the hall from Heather and Melissa, and then we’ll live like Friends. We also decided that in order for this to happen, Heather will have to make the current occupants of that apartment super uncomfortable so they’ll want to leave.
Sounds like a plan to me.
Day 44: Late night grocery shopping
My favourite time of day to go grocery shopping is 10:30 at night, right after work. I drive over to Sobey’s, haul out my reusable bags, and head over to the produce section. It’s dead quite, I’m often the only customer, and the store is completely mine. I take my time, I browse, I call my mother…
And then I come home with a big pile of groceries and a late night snack. Those first few meals after shopping are always glorious.
Day 43: Lying on the couch all day
I was rather sick yesterday, and I had a couch day, in which I kept falling asleep, or having hot and cold waves. But it’s always lovely to put away the studying for the day, have someone bring you tea, and just sleep the day away.
Day 41: Looking for a place to live
I’ve only really had to do this once before, and at that time it was totally easy because I was so not picky.
Now, I am looking for 2 places to live. I need to find a place in Port Rowan for the summer, and then a place in Scarborough for September.
In Port Rowan, I don’t care too much, living in my car would be just fine with me. I’m on the freaking beach, it’s gonna be awesome. But in Scarborough, I have my heart set on getting a little bachelor apartment for like $400 a month. Perhaps unrealistic? Perhaps I’m too cheap? Second best would be sharing a 2 bedroom with a stranger. But I really don’t want to live in a student house.
I’m dreaming of having a place that is completely my own, and getting to decorate it and have all my stuff.
No matter what ends up happening, the search is half the fun! I just need to get down there and start looking around.
