To whom it may concern,
Welcome to reality, 'kiddo'. People aren't always nice at their jobs but when they're trying to bury the hatchet, and not over your proverbial head, take it and accept it - even if it is fake. At least do it for your friends - learn to lie and learn to lie well.
Here's another thought - if you're going to be a wimp and back out of certain events maybe you should back out of said certain events altogether. Just a thought but get a life and grow a pair of balls. There, I said it - grow some. You talked about the 'tough questions' all last year - where were you for the tough questions? Oh yeah - you were scared and chickened out.
So welcome to the real world sweetie where not everyone is going to like you - we'll be professional but apparently, you can't even do that judging by your characteristics lately.
At least I keep trying to tell myself I remember a good guy somewhere, but maybe I was wrong. That's disappointing now, isn't it? Good luck in the future - with this attitude, you're going to need it.

The revelations I get while studying
I am currently writing a ten-page essay but am thinking about everything except my essay topic. As I sit here typing, I'm completely veering off-topic all the time - it's slightly terrible but at the same time, I'm doing a lot of thinking...
I guess my first thought is how fragile trust is. No one really thinks about trust when they have it - it's just there but if it's not there, it's thought about all the time. It's something that can make someone completely happy or tear them apart. It's necessary for a good relationship - but it can easily terrify people into not wanting a relationship. Once the trust is broken, is there really a way to go back? Maybe in some cases, but generally, I'd say no.
Next, I'm thinking about this upcoming weekend - it's ARCUP, the Atlantic Regional Canadian University Press Conference - which means a lot of notes, not a lot of sleep and a little bit of partying - just a wee bit though. I think what I like best about these conference's is the opportunity to meet people who are absolutely amazing - they're real people who do real jobs and influence the world. I like it!
I'm also thinking about how people usually look better clothed - Donald Trump said this once about Angelina Jolie. I think he's full of crap about her - but think about it for a moment, it's kinda true. Most people are pretty disappointing when you get their clothes off. Now thankfully, there are a few exceptions. And let me tell you, those exceptions should have a pass to walk around in a loincloth. I'd be completely fine with that.
Well, sadly I also finished all 6 seasons of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. So I should probably get back to this essay - hoping for 7 pages tonight (3 more) and then, bed! I've got some volunteering to do tomorrow, then I'm working on 'stuff' for the week - hoping all essays and such will be done so I can actually have fun at ARCUP without the pain of...well, thinking "CRAP, I HAVE WORK TO DO" like last time.

last gig of the year
Well, School year that is - I finished the 13th issue of the paper. Generally, I don't write about work - ever. It tends to wind up crossing too many boundaries that I've set up for myself as a student, editor, girlfriend, friend, whatever else...it gets sloppy. But I will say this...
On a personal note, I have met some of the most amazing people in the world - literally. I have met people who are at ground level using the media to change their society. I have met people who have influenced art, journalism, music and in turn, have influenced me.
I have had the privilege of meeting some of the most amazing people at my school too - and worked with them as well. I have had the opportunity to meet people who have created a newspaper their school can be proud of. We did a pretty darn good job, folks. It was fun working with you, it was even better getting to know you and I've learned as much from you (or perhaps more) as you have from me.
It's been a blast...and I sincerely hope to see everyone again next year!

Thoughts from the weekend
So, as it's now almost Sunday afternoon and I feel like the biggest slacker ever, I am forcing my thoughts on the blog-sphere with what should be remembered, should be forgotten, and the adorableness that is me :)
1) Coffee with a touch of real maple syrup is rather amazing!
2) Real books kick e-books butt
3) Homework that needs to get done right now or else will still be put off until the last possible moment.
4) I am, officially, into older men - does that make me a kitten? If older women who go for younger men are cougars...can I be a kitten? what about a lynx? I could handle that.
5) Gin, wine and beer do not go together in any combination - gotta remember to stop mixing alcohols throughout the night!
6) Two nights out in a row happens on Halloween and only on halloween - why? Because I'm too old for that crap!
7) Dessert is the best food ever.
8) Some people are just stupid.
9) I firmly believe in not talking about people behind their back - so thank you to one person who thought I wouldn't find out. I did.
10) Sleep is interrupted by being awake. Coffee helps soothe it though!

Dessert
Let's talk about dessert, Blog-world...it's kind of like men.
You could have a healthy, straight up, meat and potatoes sort of bloke, someone who ensures you're balanced and even regular. But it gets boring fast - kind of like relationships when you're not ready for one. You can go with the flow and eat your healthy, monotonous, and one-toned blah meal...or you could skip it and go for dessert...
Hear me out, dessert is a little more exotic - even the plain stuff is really good. It's diverse, it's not trying to be healthy - it generally admits it's pretty bad on your weight, gives no nutrition and is void of all vitamins - but it's YUMMY!
Whether you're in the mood for meat and potatoes, or if you're looking for chocolate eruption, knowing what kind of food (men/relationship) makes you happy is really what matters!
