Too busy!

So again, I had meant to write more posts, but things got in the way... like homework.

I got me a new phone today! HTC Desire HD ! Yay! It's pretty awesome. It's a 4" touch screen, plays HD video and I got it on a pretty good plan. I originally intended to buy a phone outright, having felt alienated by Rogers and my 2 year contract... However, it turns out, you just can't get the good deals and promotions without a contract! So I went with a Telus 3-year and didn't pay anything for the phone. The only reason I agreed to a contract at all, though, is because Telus has changed the way they do contracts - instead of paying a huge cancellation fee, if you want to end your contract, you just pay out your phone... So I think, basically, you pay an amount per month for how much your phone is. I think. But that's fine, because I intended to pay the normal amount for the phone anyway.

Anyway, Blake and I go with Telus for internet and Optik cable and so far, we're pretty happy with them. I think they've shaped up as a company quite a bit in the last while. So I hope I'm not disappointed like I was with Rogers.

What else? oh, right. Term 2 is almost over! Yeee! Only 7 days left of classes! Then a fantastic week off, where I will do nothing except relax at my mom's for a couple of days, watch her 50" TV, go on a day road trip with my Dad and take pictures of wherever we go on the island, and then come back home to Vancouver and chill in Blenz, coding my food website!

I'm also so happy it's starting to be warmer and sunnier... I have a couple of dresses I really want to start wearing!

Anyway, I'm in class right now and not at all paying attention... web programming is so over my head...

My poor neglected blog

I have been sadly neglecting this thing for the past couple of months. I've been pretty busy, I do have to say.

What has happened since the last post? Christmas came and went, Term 1 ended, Term 2 is well underway. Halfway through, actually! I did really well in Term 1, with a nice 94% GPA! Yay! I worked really hard, and I really enjoy what I'm doing. So all that put together is good, I suppose!

What else? I'm feeling a lot better these days, but mainly because I think I have begun a gluten-,sugar-,wheat-, corn- and yeast-free diet! I was really strict about it for about 3 weeks, and now I've become a bit more lax, including some honey, maple syrup on apple juice sweetened, gluten-free waffles! Lots of fruit, too! And lately I've been reintroducing some yeast to see how I feel, too.

Anyways, since the onset of this new diet, I've been making a LOT more foods. So I will be posting some recipes soon. I've just been BUSY! Term 2 is taking up the majority of my time!

Also, my 25th birthday is in less than two weeks, and I'm actually really excited about it! For those who know me, I've always complained a lot about being "so old" when my birthday comes around. But I think because I am doing something that I really enjoy that will, in about 8 months, turn into a career, I feel my age and I feel good about it.

Another thing I would like to mention is that, as my web design skills develop and grow, I will be making a food and recipe website called phenemeNOMS! Down the line, as my photography skills develop, I would also like to start a small card business... I sort of used my family as guinea pigs this past Christmas, and made them each cards, using photography of my own. I used really nice recycled, grainy card stock, special double-sided photo tape, and just printed 6x4 photos at London Drugs. They came out really nicely!

Anyway, I must now end this post because again, as always, I have homework that I should be doing!
