Canada, you're getting too cold.
I'm back with another
(somewhat) weekly update~
After being away from Toronto for a couple of days, getting back into the swing of things wasn't the easiest thing to do. I felt like I was on vacation and suddenly was forced to go back to work the very next day. Being still in vacation mode, school was the last thing I wanted to do.
My friend Jasmine surprised me with a souvenir she brought back from the Bahamas! She had a bunch of seashells for me to choose from and I was debating between two and ended up picking this one because it's shiny and I told myself it would look so cool against the light. And it does! It reminds me of a pearl! I thought that was super sweet of her to bring me back something even though I really only get to see her once a week. It warmed my heart that she thought of me :')
This week has been kind of busy in terms of homework for me because one of my six projects were due this week. It's an interactive site we had to make to sort out an item of our choice. I picked cups and
this is how it looks like.
(Please scale down your browser window to about 1280x800 to view it properly) You can click each cup to see the picture of it, and also use the menu to sort them~
Speaking of coding and sites, I changed my Tumblr theme
(finally). I've had the same one for literally years now and I finally got myself to change to a different one. I'm not quite sure why it took me so long. Maybe I was just so attached to my old one but I definitely like this one a lot better now. A link to my Tumblr is always on the side :)
Friday classes are always the longest because I have to leave the house by 6:30am to make it for my 8:30 class and I'm there until 12:30pm; which doesn't sound that bad compared to my Thursday classes (8:30am-4:30pm) but I mean, on fridays, you just want to get the fuck out of there and not have to wake up so early.
To help me along the day, I fill myself with as much caffeine as I can. Starbucks and La Prep are my staples on fridays. This was my first red cup of the season! I was originally going to wait for Charming to get home so we can drink them together (he comes back next weekend), but I just couldn't wait that long. Peppermint Mocha is my favourite of all time and I was too excited! This year's design is pretty nice, although I do miss the cute design they had last year. I can't decide which I like better.
We had an in-class assignment that we had to do in groups: take a disease and change the name to create a (silly) new disease and create a poster for it. This is what I came up with.
Brochitis is when a guy hangs out with his "bros" for prolonged periods of time and neglect their girlfriends. Could also be looked at as "too much bromance". The captions say, "don't you need to see your girlfriend?" "...nah."
I went to Crown Prince with my family on Sunday for dim sum. I was surrounded by Rococo and felt like I was back in art history class again. Everything was pretty and the food was alright. I'm not the biggest fan of dim sum to begin with.
I made green juice, finally! I wanted to see what was the hype about juicing and to be honest, while I feel good about drinking something so healthy, it tastes not so good... People make it sound more yummy than it really is. But I guess, what can you expect from raw veggies? Maybe I'll just do this occasionally to boost my overall health.
I also bought Betsey Johnson leg warmers! They're cute, aren't they? I really like leg warmers for the winter time because I need all the extra warmth I can get. These are definitely going to be worn all the time once the snow starts to hit.
Andddd here's a bunch of picture dump accumulated throughout the week. As always, all pictures are from my Instagram and you can go there to see my captions for all of them. Not that the captions are interesting or important anyway~
