  <description>So, I didn&apos;t post on here yesterday, because I was firmly glued to YouTube. I&apos;m addicted to the bloody thing. Heh. I posted a vlog thing the other day and have planned my next one. I&apos;m going to do a 50 Things video with 50 things that I&apos;ve done listed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Otherwise, I have been doing some homework, which is not all that exciting. I didn&apos;t start editing my novel as I had planned, but I do need to fix up the first chapter tomorrow morning before writing class. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the past week, I&apos;ve decided that caffeine keeps me sane. Last weekend, I was in the final push for Nanowrimo and ran out of caffeine. I was extremely giddy, which is not the expected result. The same thing occurred today when I had none. I was all giddy and ridiculous until I had caffeine a short while ago. Now I&apos;m calm as can be. I&apos;m such a junkie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Shameless plug!&lt;/strong&gt; Check out my vlog! &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PHCJ2aEr6s&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PHCJ2aEr6s&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;More shameless promotion!&lt;/strong&gt; Recently, one of my videos was featured on YouTube. It&apos;s a Rocky Horror music video using a Scissor Sister&apos;s song. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W27iz0YUBkI&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W27iz0YUBkI&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Daily Product Review: &lt;/strong&gt;(By daily, I mean postly. Heh.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Jelly Bean Factory Gourmet Jelly Beans&lt;br /&gt;Cost: ~1.85 Euros&lt;br /&gt;Product Type: Candy&lt;br /&gt;Description: 36 different flavours of jelly beans ranging from Marshmellow to Mango from a company in Ireland&lt;br /&gt;Opinion: Some of the flavours were not as distinct as I would have liked. I am more used to Jelly Bellies, which have much more powerful flavours. For the price,  I was expecting better, but they were still the only jelly beans I&apos;ve really seen around here.</description>

  <title>Editing, Traveling and Fridge Friday!</title>
  <link>http://columbia-lover.livejournal.com/8428.html</link>
  <description>After class today I printed out the first draft of my Nanowrimo. The document was 100 pages, but with some tweaking I managed to get it down to 64 pages. Yay, me! I also went to the shop an bought some cute highlighters with little faces, multi-coloured pens, and a hot pink folder to hold my document while I work through the madness of editing. I&apos;m going to start editing soon! I already did a little bit with the first chapter, because I&apos;m using it as my creative writing project for my writing class. I also need to help edit a friend&apos;s school work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since being in Austria, I&apos;ve eaten breakfast a lot more than usual. I blame this on the fact that it&apos;s available in the basement of my building and is included as part of my rent. I might as well eat down there and save myself a little but of money. Unfortunately, during the upcoming holidays there will be no breakfast. However, it is true that I will likely be traveling away from here during that time anyway. I&apos;m planning on going to Salzburg, Munich (maybe), somewhere in the alps to go skiing, and to Italy for New Years. Woot!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, it&apos;s &lt;strong&gt;Fridge Friday&lt;/strong&gt;! Let&apos;s see what&apos;s in my fridge, shall we? Honestly, I don&apos;t go in there all that often, so I don&apos;t even know what I&apos;ll find really. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4039/4157948502_d015d3ed06_m.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing all that exciting. Pretty typical of this fridge. Most things in there belong to my roommate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product Review of the Day: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Burn Energy shot&lt;br /&gt;Cost: ~1.75 Euros&lt;br /&gt;Product type: Beverage (shot)&lt;br /&gt;Description: 50ml energy shot is similar to a full sized energy drink, but concentrated. The taste is similar to other energy shots that I&apos;ve tried back in Canada, but a little more similar to the full sized Burn energy drink. &lt;br /&gt;Opinion: Thus far, my favourite energy shot, and I&apos;ve tried a few! At it&apos;s cost, it is a good value. Other energy shots in Canada tend to cost $3+. If you like energy drinks/shots, do try it out.</description>

  <title>I&apos;m so truant</title>
  <link>http://columbia-lover.livejournal.com/8067.html</link>
  <description>I haven&apos;t posted is such a long time. I&apos;ve just started this NaBloPoMo thing where you&apos;re supposed to post a blog entry every day for a month. I will be starting a different month though, since today is the 3rd of the month and is therefore too late to start. Also, I am planning on traveling later in the month and do not know if I will have internet access during that time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am currently in Krems, Austria studying at a university here. This is my exchange semester that I&apos;ve opted to do. I&apos;m very glad to be here. It&apos;s very nice and has given me a great oprotunity to see a little bit more of the world. This is my first time to Europe and I love it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wrote a novel. Kind of. I have the first draft of a novel that I wrote for NaNoWriMo. That&apos;s a challenge to write at least 50,000 words in the month of November. It was crazy and I&apos;m kind of glad it&apos;s over. I will probably do it again next year though. I&apos;m going to start editing my novel in the next few days and am kind of worried that it&apos;s all a load of crap that I&apos;ve written. Either way, this is the longest thing that I&apos;ve ever written and I&apos;m kind of proud that I made it through with a smidgen of my sanity remaining. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m in class currently and really ought to get back to that now. Long day of classes. Blah. I&apos;ll consider this blogging daily thing. We&apos;ll see. Perhaps I&apos;ll start writing in written voice instead of this spoken voice. Not today though! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ttfn!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~Columbia</description>

  <title>Posting!</title>
  <link>http://columbia-lover.livejournal.com/7788.html</link>
  <description>It&apos;s been 61 weeks since I posted. Huh. That&apos;s like February of last year. Wow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, little things:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve applied for an international exhange to Austria. I&apos;m thinking I&apos;ll be accepted, so here&apos;s hoping. I think it&apos;d be awesome to go study in Europe!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing: I was totally Columbia last night! Save for the outfit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Picture!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v95/Columbia_lover/Random%20self/100_0492.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was also Frank, but that wasn&apos;t nearly as suiting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v95/Columbia_lover/Random%20self/100_0434.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, so that amused me. Yay!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Becky.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

  <title>It&apos;s been a while</title>
  <link>http://columbia-lover.livejournal.com/7611.html</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;It&apos;s been a while since I posted, but not all that much has occured. Mostly, I&apos;ve been working.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At work, I&apos;ve finished my training and have gotten to do a few year ends and a lot of T4s and T5s. Joy, no? We&apos;ve moved into 48 hour work weeks as well. However, I only got 46 hours or so in this week, because I ran out of work yesterday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friday, I had a really off day. I missed the staff meeting, missed my bus stop, lost my bus passes (Jan and Feb). It was not very nice. Yesterday though, I walked to work (30 minutes or so), worked for about 5 hours,&amp;nbsp; and walked to the bus terminal. Someone had found my bus pass! I was so happy. And there was even a little peak of sun yesterday. I went up to the Wal-mart and got some CDs, Cliffhanger on DVD, some hamster stuff, and knitting stuff. And I got my hair cut off; it&apos;s nice.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, I have two pets now. A fish named Grissom and a hamster named Cliff. They are cute...and I have to clean the fish water and the hamster cage today or tomorrow sometime. Cliff is so spoiled with his Habitrail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What else is new? I had a birthday and am 20 now. Not a big deal, I have one every year. I got myself a bottle of Absinth. I&apos;ve had one drink out of the bottle. I don&apos;t drink often, so it&apos;ll last a long time. I like it though. Yummy green faries. I now have an urge to watch Moulin Rouge. I think I have the DVD. Otherwise, I have an avi of it, so I&apos;ll be able to watch it someway.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&apos;s sunny today, which is nice. I miss the sun. I think I might go hang out in the red room and knit and watch a movie or listen to music or something. Enjoy the sun. Maybe go for a walk. We&apos;ll see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I&apos;m looking forward to going out to a client&apos;s this week. Wee. So, I&apos;ll tell ya&apos;ll about it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Columbia&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  <link>http://columbia-lover.livejournal.com/7242.html</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Hey guys!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;My move went well, although it was a little later in the day then I had intended. I got all my stuff moved in around 8:30 pm. Basically, got my stuff in, put the bed together, set the alarm and went to sleep, cause I had work the next day.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;My first day at work, I was extremely early. I had no idea what time the buses ran at or how long they would take. The office wasn&apos;t even open at that point. Work was really neat though. A lot of reading the first few days. I&apos;m completing &apos;Phase 1 Orientation&apos;. I&apos;m about half way through the giant binder. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;I&apos;ve just started a module that&apos;s supposed to take 13-15 hours to complete. Gah. Should be interesting though. Better that just reading hundreds of power point slides.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Friday I went curling for the first time. I got the stone right on the button! Wee. I still hurt from it, but not too much. I&apos;ll probably go again, but not next week. I think my dad and step-mom might be coming up from Atlanta next weekend, so I&apos;m leaving it open for them just now.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Anyway, I&apos;m still waiting on highspeed internet. I&apos;m currently using my Opa&apos;s dial-up account through my landlady&apos;s phone line. I just realized that I could do this this morning. I&apos;m a bright one sometimes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Take care, everyone!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;-Columbia&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  <title>Neglecting LJ</title>
  <link>http://columbia-lover.livejournal.com/6958.html</link>
  <description>&amp;nbsp;I&apos;ve totally been neglecting my livejournal. I&apos;ve been occupied with YouTube it seems. I&apos;ve posted two video blogs. Wee. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I finished my exams saturday afternoon. I&apos;m so glad to be finished. My last exam, my accounting exam, was my least pleasant this year. However, I&apos;m sure that I passed. No more classes until May. Wee! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I start my work term next month. I&apos;m excited, but a little worried. I still have to find a place to live up there. I think that I&apos;m going to make some phone calls by the end of this week. I need to find something that I can move into for the 1st of the month. It shouldn&apos;t be too horrible to find something. I don&apos;t need anything fancy. It&apos;ll just be me living there.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, I was supposed to go home sunday morning, but ended up snowed in. The annoying part is that sunday was the only day that my brother could get me before friday. So,&amp;nbsp;I&apos;m still away at school waiting until friday afternoon to go home. My housemates have aslready left, so it&apos;s just me in the basement. It&apos;s kind of lonely, but I&apos;m thankful for highspeed internet. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m working on my christmas cards. I&apos;ve learned a new paper folding technique that looks really cool. Perhaps, I&apos;ll post some pictures sometime. We&apos;ll see. I still have to figure out how many I need to make. Wee. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went to the mall yesterday. It was absolutly insane. So many people were there shopping. Thankfully, I was only there for about 15 minutes to get groceries. I was able to catch a late bus leaving the mall. It was running 15 minutes late, then took over 5 minutes to get out of the parking lot. It was annoying. I will not be going to the mall again this year, so I&apos;m glad. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, that&apos;s all for now. Take care, lovelies! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Columbia</description>

  <title>Goodbye is too hard to say</title>
  <link>http://columbia-lover.livejournal.com/6583.html</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;Today I had to say goodbye to one of the greatest guys I&apos;ve ever met. I remember last christmas. Being away from him for those three weeks was so hard. Then the summer. I was away from him for four months. He almost died in that time, literally. I could hardly stand being away from him. He&apos;s just so lovely. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, today, I said good bye to him for a possible 20 months. That&apos;s more than a year. I don&apos;t know what I&apos;m going to do. We&apos;re both in co-op programs at university, so we&apos;re only at the school at certain times. We just barely end up there at the same time from now on. I think maybe 8 months out of the next 2 and a half years. It really sucks, as he rocks so much. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Saying good bye to him today, knowing that that hug was going to be the last for ages, was the hardest thing I think that I&apos;ve ever had to do. Possibly not, but really far up there. I have had to say good bye to my mom, knowing I wouldn&apos;t see her for over a year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I just didn&apos;t want to let him go. Ever. I had no idea it&apos;d be so hard. I just kept wishing he didn&apos;t have to go. I just hope so much that I&apos;ll see him at least once before that 20 months is over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ll miss my other friends too. However, I&apos;ll see them in 4 months for sure. And Dave&apos;s really special to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Columbia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Edit: Dave&apos;s coming over one last time tomorrow after his last exam. I am stoked! Except, I&apos;ll have to let him go all over again tomorrow. I&apos;m so glad that he&apos;s not 20 months away....yet.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  <description>I&apos;m just really annoyed. Finals.&amp;nbsp;Family drama. Need to find&amp;nbsp;a place to live. Leaving my Brock friends. Moving to where I know no one...again. It&apos;s annoying. Acurse worthy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for my finance final, I&apos;m sure that I will&amp;nbsp;not&amp;nbsp;fail. Based on the practice exam, I definatly know enough to pass. It makes me glad. Very.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m not sure how I&apos;m getting home for the holidays yet. It seems that I&apos;ll have to get Opa to drive me. Dad wont be up again until the 20th and Andy isn&apos;t finished until then. I&apos;d rather not spend an extra 5 days here by myself. I&apos;d rather be home with friends or something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, this is really just to keep me from studying, which I ought to be doing. I might just go to bed early and get up at a decent time to complete my study notes to take with me. We&apos;ll see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, good night, everyone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Columbia</description>

  <title>Vent....</title>
  <link>http://columbia-lover.livejournal.com/6075.html</link>
  <description>&amp;nbsp;I have final exams like crazy this week. I&apos;m very much not looking forward to them. They&apos;re worth 40% and 50% of my final grades for those courses. It&apos;s stupid. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m kind of looking forward to the holiday, but a little less so now that I&apos;ve talked to my oldest brother,&amp;nbsp;Andy. What he told be was rather distressing. Apparently, my dad (who lives in GA, 17 hour drive from here) had to fly up here on the 29th. The reason was that my other brother, Brian,&amp;nbsp;is being a douche again. He had a smash up the place and drive drunk day. My grandparents were leaving for a week or so and didn&apos;t want to leave just him at the farm in case he did something even more stupid, like burn down the houses. Anything is possible.&amp;nbsp;Andy is in school, like me, so he couldn&apos;t just stay there the entire time. So &amp;nbsp;dad had to fly up here.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Dad is flying back down on the 12th to drive back up for the 20th with Te, my step-mom. I&apos;ll bet he&apos;s not pleased about any of that. I know I wouldn&apos;t be. I&apos;m not looking forward to dealing with my family drama this holiday. That is why I&apos;m looking less forward to my holiday than I was before. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;I am glad that I&apos;ll get to see my friends again. I haven&apos;t seen them since August, so it&apos;s been a while. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;I still have to find a place to live for January. I&apos;d best get on that. Andy told me he&apos;d take me up to Owen Sound to look at places when I get some veiwings arranged. So, next week, roughly. I want to get a 1 bedroom appartment downtown for under $600. If they allowed pets, that would be nice, but not needed. I can live without my cat for a while. I do that now. I miss my Boy. He&apos;s a good kitty. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, Brian killed the lizard too, apparently. That&apos;s one thing I didn&apos;t see coming. The general smash things I saw coming. Everyone did. Other than my grandfather. That brother should have been kicked out in hte summer already when he flipped out and started pushing our 75 year old grand father around and throughing beer bottles about while the police officer was still there. He&apos;s a real idiot. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Well, this rant has gone on for far too long. I must go study for my finance final (50% of my mark). I have that one tomorrow. Gah. After this bunch of finals, I have no more until ... June? I think. Sometime in the summer. Cause I&apos;ll be working next term. woo. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;That&apos;s all for now. Take care.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;-Columbia</description>

I&apos;ve been writing fic again. Studying for exams causes a lot of creative output. Otherwise, my brain night die.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take care, darlings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Columbia</description>

  <title>Studying...</title>
  <link>http://columbia-lover.livejournal.com/5544.html</link>
  <description>It&apos;s that time of year again. Time for final exams. I&apos;m not overly enthusiastic about the whole ordeal. I have my first exam tomorrow morning. Much too early aswell. I have to go to school on&amp;nbsp;the 7:30 bus. That&apos;s am, guys. It officially sucks. At least it&apos;s my only morning exam this&amp;nbsp;year. It&apos;s going to be my easiest exam this year too. I know all the material, thankfully. &amp;nbsp;I&apos;ve also been studying. You know, between the bouts of procrastination. I&apos;m making notes and going to go over the quizes that we&apos;ve done. Especially that one that I did completly wrong (but got marked as perfect. Weird markers, apparently).&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I look forward to going home for a few weeks. I really miss my cats. I haven&apos;t seen them since August. Poor little darlings, they are.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I received my official offer of employment for my co-op placement. I&apos;m very excited to start, but kind of scared too. It&apos;s something completly new.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, during one of my bouts of procrastination today, I made a &quot;happy birthday, Kasim&quot; video clip. It&apos;s only 9 seconds long. It&apos;s my contribution to a larger video that is being put together for him. It was fun making the clip though. I hope he likes the video that comes from the entire project. We&apos;ll find out soon enough. His birthday is on saturday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got to talk to a friend of mine who I hadn&apos;t spoken to since september or so. I was so glad to talk to her. I miss her insanity. Well, her completly reasonable insanity that I share with her. We were both being distracted from studying. Horray for Facebook!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, back to studying. Take care, lovelies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Columbia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS. Meat Loaf&apos;s 3 Bats Tour DVD comes out in Canada tomorrow! I&apos;ll be heading to the mall after my exam to find myself a copy.</description>

  <description>Finally! After 5 months&amp;nbsp;trying to get a job, I have one! I rock. 6th one was the charm.

  <title>More Interviews!</title>
  <link>http://columbia-lover.livejournal.com/4965.html</link>
  <description>Well, I&apos;m going to&amp;nbsp;be having 2 more interviews in the&amp;nbsp;next little while.&amp;nbsp;Here&apos;s hoping that I&apos;m employable now. The good news is that I&apos;m&amp;nbsp;the only one up for either position, because they want someone from the area. &amp;nbsp;I grew up 45 minutes from those offices, so that&apos;s a good thing. The offices are smaller than those I&apos;ve interviewed for previously. Probably, because the town is not as big as, say, Toronto.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I must send some emails. I just wanted to post the good news. I&apos;ll let you know how it turns out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Columbia</description>

I&apos;ll get to it eventually.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, other than that, my life has been fairly dull, so that&apos;s all I shall write just now.

  <title>My Freezer is Full</title>
  <link>http://columbia-lover.livejournal.com/4403.html</link>
  <description>Not much&amp;nbsp;to talk about today, which ought to be obvious given the subject line.&amp;nbsp;I went shopping today, that was really all I did. I went with my housemate/friend and his parents. I got a lighter for my candle, which is&amp;nbsp;burning now and smells really nice. Well, we&amp;nbsp;went to the grocery store and M&amp;amp;M&apos;s meat shops.&amp;nbsp;M&amp;amp;M&apos;s sells mainly frozen food. I bought a lot of stuff there and&amp;nbsp;some freezer stuff at the grocery store. My friend bought a lot of freezer stuff too. Plus, our freezer was already basically full.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, after some rearranging my moi of the little freezer, it was able to fit all it had before, plus my stuff, with more room then it had started with. Basically, I rock. The big freezer was a little more challenging.&amp;nbsp;I left that to my housemate to&amp;nbsp;figure out.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, now that our freezers are full, we ought to be able to&amp;nbsp;last forever without buying food. Well, at least a week. Maybe. We&apos;ll&amp;nbsp;see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That&apos;s all&amp;nbsp;for tonight, folks. Take care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Columbia&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;</description>

  <title>Unemployable...</title>
  <link>http://columbia-lover.livejournal.com/4139.html</link>
  <description>I&apos;m starting to feel rather unemployable. I&apos;ve had a number of interviews for co-op placements, but no job offers. I&amp;nbsp;know for a fact that I&apos;m competent. I don&apos;t mean that in a conceded way. I just know that I know plenty to get myself through my co-op placements. I&apos;m pretty sure that I&apos;ve had decent interviews. It&apos;s just really frustrating. All of my co-op friends in my immediate circle have gotten jobs already. I know I can do the job, I just need the chance to prove it. It&apos;s do disheartening. I&apos;m happy for my friends though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Columbia</description>

  <description>Horray!&amp;nbsp;I&apos;m&amp;nbsp;nearly finished my economics assignment. I&apos;ve been a little unfocused though. If I had had more focus earlier today, I&apos;d probably be finished by now. It&apos;s not that difficult of an assignment. That&apos;s something I&apos;m quite glad about. Otherwise, my procrastination would have screwed me over.&amp;nbsp;I rock though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, I should really get back to my assignment. I dont want my unfocused-ness to cause&amp;nbsp;the last 30 minutes to an hour of work left to take 3 hours.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Columbia.&amp;nbsp;</description>

  <description>I just finished typing up my accounting assignment. It took about 3 hours to&amp;nbsp;type it up and format it. It was ridiculous for&amp;nbsp;having already done it. I sould have done it on the computer&amp;nbsp;to begin with. It sure would have cut off a lot of time. I spent so long working on the assignment last night too. I was at a friend&apos;s house until 11:30pm.&amp;nbsp;This assignment was crazy. Tomorrow I get to start on my economics assignment. Oh, joy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m cutting this short, because I&apos;m tired and must head off to bed. Take&amp;nbsp;care!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Columbia&amp;nbsp;</description>

  <title>Assignments...Gah</title>
  <link>http://columbia-lover.livejournal.com/3079.html</link>
  <description>&amp;nbsp;Wow, I was actually productive last night. I&apos;m rather impressed. I worked with a group last night on our giant accounting assignment. It&apos;s technically an individual assignment, but we worked together some, just for the understanding. We did some of the math together and made sure everyone understood the question and meathods. I still need to type up all my answers, but I have the thinking part finished. I need to get it all typed and finished today/tonight, as it&apos;s due tomorrow. I don&apos;t recall if&amp;nbsp;I&apos;m to hand it in to the&amp;nbsp;drop box or in class. I&apos;ll have to check. Not a big deal. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My economics class has an assignment due on monday. I haven&apos;t started it, but I know how to do it. I&apos;ll be working on that tomorrow, saturday, and finishing it sunday. I also have to finish up the smaller accounting assignment for monday. It wont take long, which is a nice change.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really would liketo get to Rocky Horror this month, but I&apos;m not sure if I&apos;ll be able to. I know that I can get there and back, and can go to the show. That&apos;s not the issue. The issue is that the earliest bus going back home is 7:15am and the show is over around 2am. I&apos;m not so keen on wandering Toronto by myself for 5 early hours. I want someone with me at the very least. I have one friend who I&apos;m trying to get to go with me, so we&apos;ll see. *crosses fingers* &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I must actually go work on my assignments now. Take care! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Columbia</description>

  <title>Homework day</title>
  <link>http://columbia-lover.livejournal.com/2892.html</link>
  <description>&amp;nbsp;It&apos;s homework day, which means that it&apos;s time for procrastination. Well, I have read over the assignment I&apos;m working on and have even started answering the problems, so I&apos;m not totally procrastinating. Facebook, phone, lunch. You were all designed to keep me from my work. Damn you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I put my contacts in today. The one had a fluff or something on it, so I cleaned it...then put it in backwards. Man, did that hurt! After that, I just counldn&apos;t make it feel comfortable and my eye hurt so badly. I still have a head ache, which I blame on that. I&apos;ll try again with the contacts tomorrow. Hopefully, the experience will be a better one.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;::Breaks for homeworking::&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, I lied. I did no such thing just then. Damn Facebook.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;::Actually breaks for homeworking::&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did some of my assignment, yay! Not nearly as much as I had planned, because I had a phone call and dinner. I&apos;m just glad to be on my way with the assignment. I&apos;ll have to work on it tomorrow and thursday to finish it for friday, but it&apos;ll be done on time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, now the Sushi go-round game is distracting me. I&apos;ve already beaten it, yet it&apos;s still entertaining.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And YouTube. Gah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I&apos;m actually going to post this now. Just so you know, I&apos;ve written this post over the course of about 5 hours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take Care!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Columbia</description>

  <title>So it appears...</title>
  <link>http://columbia-lover.livejournal.com/2778.html</link>
  <description>It seems that I won&apos;t be getting the job I interviewed for&amp;nbsp;last week. I had the same interview as a friend of mine and she&apos;s&amp;nbsp;been requested for a second interview.&amp;nbsp;I havent&amp;nbsp;heard anything, so I&apos;m assuming that they don&apos;t want me. It&apos;s rather disappointing, because I&apos;m going to have to go to&amp;nbsp;classes in the summer even though I&apos;ll be&amp;nbsp;taking classes this winter (assuming I have no work placement by then), because I&amp;nbsp;can&apos;t fit all the courses I&apos;m to take in the summer into my winter schedule. I&apos;d be taking partial course loads during the winter and spring/summer terms. Unless I take&amp;nbsp;some classes that I&apos;m supposed to take next summer this&amp;nbsp;summer. I might be able to cut out a summer of classes that way. Who knows?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other than that, not much has been going on here.&amp;nbsp;the house is rather messy still after our post halloween party. We&apos;re currently planning a pre-christmas party/gathering. Scheduling for that is going to be a nightmare. I really don&apos;t think that we have any&amp;nbsp;day that we&apos;re all available and not studying. We&apos;re coming up to final exams much too fast. I don&apos;t&amp;nbsp;want to go into the holidays&amp;nbsp;not having a job lined up for January.&amp;nbsp;Gah, gah, gah.&amp;nbsp;5 interviews and no job. It&apos;s very discouraging.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, much love sent your way. Take&amp;nbsp;care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Columbia&amp;nbsp;</description>

  <description>I&apos;m so gald to be finished&amp;nbsp;my midterms for another semester.&amp;nbsp;I had my finance midterm yesterday. It went better than I thought it would. I know that there were some questions&amp;nbsp;that&amp;nbsp;I messed up on, but overall I think&amp;nbsp;I did fairly well.&amp;nbsp;Either way,&amp;nbsp;I&apos;m glad it&apos;s over with. Now I only have finals to worry about, but those don&apos;t start for a few more weeks. I&apos;m so glad about that. I&apos;m not all that fond of midterms, though I doubt there are many people out there who live for the day that they could have midterms constantly. I don&apos;t mind final exam period so much, because you don&apos;t have classes and assignments to do at the same time as you&apos;re trying to study for your exams. That&apos;d&amp;nbsp;make things a lot more difficult.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope that I&apos;ll hear something back from&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;accounting firm I interviewed with soon. I&apos;d rather know one way or the other so that I can plan accordingly. If I have no job by&amp;nbsp;late this week, I&apos;m going to have to go ahead and register for courses for January just incase I don&apos;t&amp;nbsp;get a placement before then.&amp;nbsp;I so want a job. Gah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got contact lenses yesterday. I had such difficulty putting them in the first time, but I could see very well. Last night, I put them in again and couldn&apos;t see. I was so confused and annoyed. It turned out that when I took them out at the store, man helping me put the lids on backwards, so I had put them in the wrong eyes at home, which made everything out of whack. Now, I have them in the proper eyes and can see without glasses, hazza! It&apos;s something I don&apos;t remember being able to do, as I started wearing glasses before I made it to kindergarden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last night, my housemates and I threw a little post-halloween/midterms party. It was a fun night. I drank way too much caffeine last night. I had two massivly caffeine filled energy drinks. A total of 440 mg in a very short time.&amp;nbsp;With that and the giant Pixie stick, I was pretty hyped up. Then I added alcohol to the mix. I know know why you&apos;re not supposed to do that. Heh. The one makes&amp;nbsp;you&amp;nbsp;very drunk, the other keeps you from passing out and makes you do energetic stupid things instead of&amp;nbsp;your standard stupid things. Then I couldn&apos;t fall asleep very well last night either. &amp;nbsp;I know that I hit my head on the wall a few times. I still have a bump on my head. It hurts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, that&apos;s my lesson of the day, don&apos;t mix alcohol and caffeine....although, it&apos;s kind of fun. Ha!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Columbia</description>
