I'm awful at updating this thing...

Yikes. Time flies. It feels like a day or two since I wrote last but its been a few weeks apparently...where does the time go? I can't believe I'm 21 already, and that i'm already in my sixth week of class. It's crazy. Due dates coming up here, there and everywhere.

But this weekend is all about friends and family, so school can sit on the back burner (except for when I'm at work..like right now). My Tori's home, my brother's home, and my other brother is leaving for Europe in couple days. So all I'm doing this weekend is sucking in as much of the three of them as I can, because it's not every day I get to see them and they are the ones dearest to me.

Updates on life...school is good, friends are great, and overall doing really well. Had a great birthday thanks to my mom (and my brothers and I are celebratin this weekend), and Val's family threw me a lovely birthday dinner because my family was out of town for my birthday. I love the Colquhouns. Paula got me a cake and tiara and even a card signed by the cat that I adore. Life is swell.

I'm thankful for a lot of things this year. My family and friends are probably the best people you could find.

Almost 21.

So I haven't updated lately and here's why...

First, I caught a wicked, wicked virus. I was super sick for almost two weeks. Coughing, sore throat, fever, chills...you name it, I had it. Missed a few classes, but luckily my classmates rule and caught me up pretty quick.

Secondly, school is kicking my buttocks. I love it, the material and people I've met...but the workload is intense. And I mean seriously intense. You should see my calendar for October. Pretty crazy. Unfortunately most assignment due dates are decided by drawing dates...and lucky me, I drew every October due date possible. But on the positive side, November and December won't be too busy which is perfect as I have 5 final papers due within a 24 hour period.

So in conclusion, life is swell. On Sunday I turn 21. And I already know I'm getting my favourite painting that I've always wanted...so I really can't complain. Next weekend brings family, good food and my darling Tori Wilcox comes home. I'm so excited I can hardly hold it in! I miss my little bundle of sunshine..especially when London is full of cold, dreary rain.
