well there are only three days of school left in this semester for me - though there are still hours of work ahead. i'm absolutely loving school these days, so i'm not sure if i should be excited about the month off or if i should be dreading it. thankfully, i have my fair share of amazing events coming up this december, so my month of vacation should be well spent.
event 1: the middle years night out
after class finishes on friday at 5pm, everyone in my cohort is getting gussied up and heading down to Lickerish on Davie. from what i've heard, the food is incredible, and i'm sure to enjoy every bite of my three course meal. after dinner we're heading over to the roxie to dance the rest of the night away. and i mean dance. i haven't been out dancing in so long and i just can't wait. the people in my cohort are ridiculously amazing which should result in a good night out.
event 2: flying out east
come the third of december i'll be hopping on a plane and headed out east. i don't think i could be more excited. i haven't seen andrew in almost three months now and it will be so good to spend two weeks with him while getting to know his family. i can't wait to make a ridiculous scene in the airport when i make my slow-motion sprint (could this be any more oxymoronic?) in his direction. i'm thinking fields of green grass, flowers all around, butterflies flapping their wings as the sun shines down on our faces and our hair blows lightly in the wind. you know, that kind of slow-mo.
event 3: joining up with friends who've flown out west
when i arrive back on the west coast, my favourite friend from winnipeg will have already made her way out here. yes, that's right, miss leslie. i haven't seen that beaut of a girl since march and i just can't wait for some good ol' coffees, cuddles and chats (that's pretty much all we seemed to do in our first two years of undergrad). by all means, it looks like it's going to be a pretty splendid week.
event 4: the annual senior high christmas soiree
i absolutely love this christmas party. this will be the third year that we've celebrated christmas with a trip to the spaghetti factory in gastown, the magical christmas train at stanley park and ice skating at a local rink to cap off the night. i don't know what it is, but the past two years worth of this tradition have been incredibly fun (even when things don't go quite as expected). here's hoping that this year will be even better than the last.
event 5: the engagement
no, no. not mine. ha. no. i'm thinking about the lovely jessi and clifton. now we're really not sure when event 5 is going to take place, but let me tell you that i'm waiting with bated breath. there is an inkling that this event might involve a cape or some other ridiculous prop, but that's all i really know. cliffy hasn't decided to let me in on things, but here's hoping that i'll get to celebrate the engagement before the end of the month.
event 6: staff retreat
what better way to spend new years than surrounded by a bunch of the incredible cit's that i love? yeah, that's right, there's no better way. i have no idea what the retreat at qwanoes will end up looking like, but i can say for sure that they're will be some polar bear swimming (i just can't break my streak) and an awful lot of good chats & worship. here's hoping a whole ton of cit's show up (if that's you, then come!)
by now you can't argue. this is shaping up to be an incredibly ridiculous fun-filled month. here's hoping i'll relax and drink a whole lot of nog (okay, maybe not too much, but i just love saying nog) and get to spend time with all of the people that i love. christmas is such an incredible time of year & i'm excited to share in the joy of it all.
