I had a horrible sleep last night, I don't know if it was because of the weird noises in my building or because of stress or what. I woke up at about 2:30am, I heard some weird noises, it sounded like someone was shoveling water and like someone playing the washboard. It was really strange and I think I heard a gust of wind come through and rattled the mini blinds even though my window was closed. Now I wasn't totally awake so I was not in my right mind and I started to think that my appartment was haunted. I don't even think I believe in ghosts. It could have been a dream I'm not sure, the antibiotics I have been taking the last few weeks have been giving me strange dreams. I drifted in and out of sleep from about 3-6:30am, and the idea of have a haunted appartment made my dreams all the more interesting. I decided to sleep in a little, about half an hour, so I would have to catch a different bus.
I also thought that I should put on a bit of makeup to cover up the fact that I didn't get any sleep. To catch the bus I had to walk about 10min to the main terminal, i thought that would be my best chance at catching a bus to school. It was super cold and blowing snow. A good combo for the makeup, it froze on the way to the bus stop. The first bus that came up I asked if he went to the university, he looked at me absolutely expressionless. I thought I had detected a hint of a nod so I gave him my ticket and got on. My makeup started to melt all over and after a few minutes my hand had a bunch of blood on it. I could not for the life of my figure out where it was coming from so I got super bundled up trying to cover everything so people wouldn't see. The bus did go to the university, but the driver neglected to tell me it went on a 30min loop in the opposite direction first.
So it's not even 9am and already life is great.
Today was a super great day though because it was my last lab, hopefull for forever, with my partner. I did spill ferric chloride dodecahydrate all over the place, it turned my lab coat, the floor and m shoes a lovely shade of puky yellow. But that's okay because no more lab partner!

whoohoo....you did it, you survived. No more lab partner.
hey chantal,
just wanted to let you know that we prayed for you at staff meeting today. i know you've had a rough semester and when we were praying, you were put on my heart to pray for. everyone is eagerly awaiting your return for christmas (believe it or not), it's just too bad that we'll be gone for most of the time you're back. maybe we can party it up at our place on new year's eve with a bowl of popcorn or something.
i miss you dear fried! can't wait to see you soon! -K
