Last night I think was the most pathetic Saturday night of my life...I have been irritated with everything lately, and I mean everything. I haven't felt like myself for at least a month because of a myriad of demands pulling me in every possible direction. Understandably, it's really bothering me. However, now that my papers are all handed in, my exams are nearly finished (last one tomorrow!) and I have my employment sorted out, I can finally just relax and stop freaking out.

Last night was sad because I spent it cleaning my apartment. It needed to be cleaned desperately because all of the above demands haven't given me the time to clean. I really didn't feel like being social and going to Sasha's recognition party for her CDA program (which was way the hell out in Mill Bay) so I decided to just stay home and watch whatever was on TV...which turned out to be nothing...and I looked around and realized the horrible state of my apartment. So I vacuumed, washed, dusted, scrubbed, de-cluttered and organized...Suffice it to say I presently have the cleanest bathroom in Victoria. The saddest part of the evening was that my ex-boyfriend started talking to me on msn when I was doing all this. I don't mind talking to him, we're on relatively good terms, except last night he was drunk. Yes, drunk off beer and alone. I found it amusing, but couldn't help thinking how pathetic it was that I was spending my Saturday night with Mr. Clean and a drunken ex-boyfriend...Go me.

Today was much better though. Sasha called me this morning wanting to go outside because the weather is finally warm and sunny. She's amazing...she's hung over and she still wants to be active. I'd be dead to the world if I were her. Anyway, at 1:30 we head down to Cook Street Village for some brunch. It was so nice to be able to sit outside, enjoy the sun, people watch and eat the best Spanikopita I've ever had. Everything is so green now. I love it! We continued walking down Cook St. to Dallas Road to the water. We then got the brilliant idea to go for soft ice cream at the Beacon Hill Drive In...of course everyone in Victoria had that idea too...so we decided to just head to the downtown area and get a frappuccino from Starbucks. It was so refreshing to walk outside without feeling a chill, to feel the sun on my cheeks and shoulders, to feel warmed by the sun! I am glad Sash dragged me outside today, I would have missed out! I just hope the weather remains this good for a while...and maybe follows me up to CR.
