Tales of a vagrant ant

a "proper update"

Well, now to our regular programming, since I'm finished gushing about my new blog template... I can be excited about it only for so long. hehe.
But the past week or so I've been a bit sparse... between studying madly for the final exam for my anthropology distance ed course monday, and working, I've been kind of occupied. I think that i did alright on it... it sucks cuz I was going to get to my exam (at UBC) on time, and then the parking lot i was planning to park was closed... so I had to walk to the B-lot parking lots, which was a good 10-15 minutes from Brock Hall, where I was writing my exam. So I showed up at my exam, waterbottle-less, and sweaty and hot... oh, and late. I was roughly 5 minutes late getting to that roomed packed full of... 4 people. haha, yeah, just four. I think I ended up doing alright, so I can't complain.
The greatest excitement in my life is that fact that in just a WEEK, my deardeardear katie will be here. in vancouver. in my arms. YAY!!! I can't believe i've been apart from her since what... April... 22nd? over 3 months... alas, she will be with me for 6 short days starting August 18th. How does one cram 3 months of missing into 6 days? :/ *shakes fist* the tyranny that is crappy airline reservation thingys! Smeh, I'm sure I'll make do with it, and that it'll be the furthest thought from my mind when I get to look into her eyes.
She's told me she wants to go on the capilano treetop adventures... I'm also thinking properly exploring stanley park and english bay with her... go for a dive at whytecliffe park... and i'm thinking we'll have a dinner kinda deal with friends, and a nice dinner with her... yay!
any other ideas to vancouver-funness?, peoples?

Hmm, I'm trying to think of what else I've been up to since my last post with any kind of content... lemme see... (ooh, picture links too!!)

Played straight-limbed dual ball ping pong at mark's house. (yeah, it's as complimicated as it sounds ;p)
Hung out with random strangers on commercial with aileen and mark
Saw a moonset, and a happy rock at beautiful dunderave beach
Ooh, I became a certified Open Water Diver! I can go 60 ft into a water body... hurrah!
Went to Victoria to volunteer with the Sierra Club and Mark... we mostly just ran around victoria, and volunteered a wee bit. good times though... we shared a bed! hahaha. ;p
Got the equivalent of a royal flush playing mahjong
Went to Under the Volcano
Tried to vainly organize the Enviro Sci Rockwood Trip (still trying, but it's hard when your co-organizer doesn't seem to be alive)

Heh, I enjoy how i remember my life from going on my computer, and looking at the pictures that I've taken... ;p

But wow, I just signed up at astro.com, a really neat astrology site that gets really in depth... like down to your birth city/town, and your birth time. It seemed to work quite well, and a lot of the things they say seem VERY uncanny. So yeah, I'm very much in awe of not its predictions, but of what it says about me, from the little information i've given the site about me, as a person....

Anyhoo, I'm off to bed now, work at 11-6 tommorow... there MAY be a possibility of me going on a dive... I'm not sure if it will work out though.... we'll see, we'll see.
