I've had the intention of blogging sooner, but somehow it slipped my mind. When I started blabbing in this blog, I did think of the day when I would forget about it, and eventually stop this probably teen-activity of recounting really mundane events of my life. Not to say blogging isn't for mature adults, but the younger me did think that way.

I have no intention of giving up on this weblog, yet. But this should be the period of my life where I'm no longer tied so closely to this blog to make daily updates. I do think of blogging some random stuff when it happens, but when I return home, all is forgotten, and forgiven for forgetting. So I'm going to forgive myself for being absent for now, till something really worth mentioning comes up and provided I commit to taking action in typing it in. With this, some updates:

1) My Midterms are over, perhaps explains why I'm in no mood to do anything else but laze around and rekindle my yearning to watch J-dramas, which I'm gladly doing.

2) Hell freezed over Monday night till now. With wind chill factored in, we got -30 degrees of loveliness. Fret not, because I think Spring is on its way!

3) Toronto Maple Leafs are struggling to make it to the playoffs of the NHL. Please, please do make it.. For? An additional distraction from my studies.

4) In less than a month's time, my sister will be joining us for life in T.O. She will be accompanied with our Mum, who will be here for about 3 weeks. It will be close to our Final exam period (mid-late April), so I wonder how we will be able to act as tour guides for sight-seeing. My Mum wants to go to Niagara Falls again, which sadly I have yet to visit, so this will be a good opportunity to. So, I have to whip out my books now, or regret it later which would likely be the case. At least my Mum can do the cooking and cleaning for us for a change (aka, a break for me!).

5) Something big is brewing, but is yet to be confirmed and acted upon. This will be a major milestone for me and my siblings living in Toronto.

Yes, the soon-to-be absentee's current situation summarized in 5 points..

Toronto experienced one of it's worst snow storm this year just now. It has died down a little as that weather system moves across Ontario, but we are expected to expect freezing rain and ice pellets falling to the ground overnight.

I went for my one hour lecture and was told that the tutorial that was supposed to be at 5-7pm was cancelled because of an impending weather alert. There was this ISC event that needed help with, so I stayed back to study. Later on in the evening, found out that the event was cancelled too, as was every other class on campus effective from 5pm. So for me, the school closure was quite pointless. It was crazy how the wind was blowing, and how snow was continuously dumped on us just now. As I made my way across the campus to the bus-stop, I literally had to plough through thick snow on the ground. Waiting for public transit in such weather was torture. A usually 45-minute journey, ended up to a 2-hour one.

My work shift last weekend was also torturous. I'd to stand for long shifts, approach people, act all enthusiastic and spout the same few lines over and over. Most were easy to talk to, but there was one who was straight out rude to me, yet I'd to smile and thank that son of a bitch. Richmond Hill's Futureshop was much more welcoming than Markham's. Yet, I've to head to Markham this Saturday, my only shift for this week! They pulled RH as it wasn't productive enough. If they assign me to anywhere else outside of Toronto after this week, I'm seriously considering quitting, despite the very attractive pay. My life/time/studies is more important. I've yet to make any sales yet, so perhaps they might fire me even before I quit.

Anyway, I'm quite thankful that I stayed back in school today as I was able to get information into my brain for tomorrow's Midterm. If only they call a Snow Day, or rather an Icy-Slippery-Road Day. I need the rest, as I always do..
