Born to Be a City Girl...in a Small Town...Bigger than Olds...

So today is my first full day in the bustling metropolis of Cold Lake. It is my first-ever visit to anywhere more north than Edmonton...and I haven't even been to Northern Edmonton...I'm chillin' with Russ's family, and having a pretty good time. Today Russ is going to be taking me out on the town, which should be interesting...
Tiny bit of trivia-there is no Bank of Montreal in Cold Lake. Actually, the closest one is in Wainwright...so now we have to find a bank so we can deposit our money so that we can pay rent...or else the crazy landlord will kick us out. Oh well...Russ is putting on pants now, because if he goes to the bank without pants, i think that they will ask us to leave, even if we tell them that he needs money so that he can buy pants...or something...but yes. I'm off to have fantastic adventures here by the lake that is cold...

Merry Boxing Day!

So, another Christmas is in the bag...and I came out with a pretty good haul!! Now, if only I can make it through New Year's and finding a new job, then life will truly be sweet.

REVENGE OF INSOMNIA!!!

Sooooooo...it's...2:51am...and i'm still up. Why, you may ask, is Cass still up? Well, you guessed it! Her good friend Insomnia is back, with a vengence! I'm frickin' tired!! I stayed up until 1am yesterday to study for my classics 302 final...then i got up at 9am this morning to do more studying...i went to school at 12pm to do more studying...then i wrote my exam. Then i came home, exhausted, wanting desperately to sleep...and proceeded to lay in bed for an hour and a half, trying to sleep. No dice. So i watched a couple of movies, taking a break from studying (which i shall be doing all day tuesday and wednesday) and now, it's 3am, and i desperately want to sleep...but i CAN'T!!! I have been dealing with this since i was 12, but i had it under control for a while...now, since i'm stressed, and my body needs sleep, it refuses to sleep. Yup. Good times had by all. I'm gonna go lay in bed for a while, and try to beat my tired brain into submission...hopefully i'll have enough left to finish writing my finals...if not, i will be the girl on the news whose head exploded. Maybe my family could sue the school...weep...oh man! I have GOT to sleep!!! Wish me luck....

....Procrastination....

So here I am...procrastinating...i really should be writing the last three pages of my paper...because it has to be done today....and it isn't...but i opened this morning (i forgot how much i love morning shifts!) and i took a nap, and got some groceries, and did some dishes, and cleaned the bathroom, and had some lunch, and watched an episode or three of CSI:miami...and now its 6 and i STILL have three pages to write...all i want to do is watch CSI and play with my new laptop!! I named it tomato for now...it's ever so pretty! i really should get that paper done, because i have three finals next week, and i have to do all the reading for each class that i didn't do throughout the second half of the semester....because i procrastinated....i think tomorrow i'm going to do what Rebecca did and just go to the Cup and set up camp. But first i have to put some music on my computer, because it has none, which is sad. maybe i'll do that now...and then i'll have some supper...and then i'll finish my paper...or go see russ at work...which ever will be less productive...argh!! Okay. I'm going to finish my paper now...and i'll just put CSI on in the background. Yeah. I'm gonna do that....
