Happy humpday

This is the current view from my window..






Thanks March, you're really being a pal, being all spring like. (WHY)


Anyway, due to lack of sleep last night I was in serious need of a pick me up to get me through the day. So I made my way over to Spotify to make a playlist that might make my day a little bit better.
I've left it here so you could also maybe avail of it.




Reminder that there are only two more sleeps until friday, YOU CAN DO IT.

Too old?

Hello hello!

I can't believe how fast this summer is going. I started teaching a month ago, it feels so surreal. I am excited for august when it'll be just me, my bed, my friends and nice glass of wine. Of course, to have wine you need to have money to buy it in the first place. uhhh.... help me I'm poor?

I have been wondering lately how old is "too old" to be going out and drinking and going dancing. I have friends now who say they are just "too mature for that stuff." I feel like my generation is mixed. There are some who feel that their twenties are the ultimate party years (kind of like myself) and then those who may or may not have exhausted themselves in their teens and now want to wind now. I can't imagine settling down now. I have too much time left in school and so many things I want to do to be content in one place.

I mean, there are so many bottles of riesling I haven't tried! I can't very well stop now.

It doesn't bother me so much that these friends don't want to go out dancing, that's totally fine. But I don't feel that those of us who should be scolded for it. I won't force you to go out and dance with me even though you are probably missing out on a really great time (re: definitely missing out) but that's your prerogative. (please note that I would have NO idea what that word meant if Britney hadn't done the Bobby Brown cover. I have zero shame for this stuff). Just stay home and nap! (Which can also be a really amazing time).

Whatever you do on the weekends, do it and do it well.  YUP breaking out the J-lo on this fine (rainy and gross) thursday evening.



Enjoy your evening!

Toronto-ing



So the time has finally come for my friend and I to embark on our short but sure to be amazing trip to Toronto to see One Direction. I know I am not 13 years old and probably have no business being amongst them screaming my lungs out, but I will be.

The one thing I don't have is shame about what I like. If I enjoy some kind of music, I am going to listen to it. It really doesn't impact other people (as long as I'm not forcing What Makes You Beautiful into your ears). I spent a lot of time when I was a teenager trying to fit in with certain groups based purely on music and I hated it. It's so much easier to just listen to what you want and watch what you than appeasing other people. If you can't enough of Florence and the Machine, dance around your room to it; if Snoop Dogg (or lion now? I can't even) really just 'gets you' then by all means fill your ipod with it. Doesn't matter to me.

I will also be purchasing a few items no doubt when we hit up the Eaton Centre.

It'll be nice to get away for while, even if just for a few days. I wish I had the financial ability to travel anywhere I wanted at any time. I know a girl who just goes wherever she wants and it all seems so exciting. I guess a dose of wanderlust is healthy. I want to start planning my next adventure.

Have a good week folks!
