If you hear my cry, running through her street, I'm about to freak, come and rescue me.

My first week back at school has been pretty decent, I'm mostly just happy to see my friends and all the familiar faces.
I already have a pretty hefty load of homework due next week:
-preparing my organic chemistry lab for monday
-organic chem assignment for tuesday
-ethical issues in science(humanities) essay for wednesday
-prepare biology lab for tuesday
-finish physics lab report for friday
-start physics textbook problems
-read play for discord on contemporary drama(english) for wednesday
But for some reason I'm not complaining because
a)I've had much worse and pulled it off
b)JOBROZ CONCERT TOMORROW!

sitting, waiting, wishing.

A sure sign that my summer is over: school starts tomorrow. I'm spending today lounging around my house hungry(side note: I am fasting) organizing bits and pieces of my life. You know how some people are minimilists? They wear simple basic classic pieces of clothing, their rooms are always neat and empty, everything seems to be tucked away? Well, I would decribe myself as the complete opposite. I love stuff, organized stuff or as I like to call it, organized clutter. I have this dream of the ultimate office/library, it would packed to the brim with books and magazines alongside meaningful pieces of art and a huge corkboard.

mad men.

I know I haven't posted anything in a while, summer is almost over and I've been trying to enjoy my last days of freedom before school starts. So today I decided to let you all in on my latest obsession: Mad Men. I am absoltely in love with this drama set in New York circa 1960. The storylines, the clothes, the historical accuracy, everything is amazing.

(500) days of summer.

I went to see this today. It is a very cute movie, put me in good mood, and the soundtrack is amazing. Just thought I'd share.

the local crew does osheaga.

I waited a few days to blog about Osheaga because I wasn't sure where to begin, I'm still not. For starters , I saw Coldplay, which made my life, but I feel like I can't talk about it too much because nothing I say will do them justice, it were simply beyond words. We were in the second row, I got to touch Chris Martin, which again, made my life.
Bands you should check out:
Kitty, Daisy & Lewis.
They are old folksy family band made up of 3 siblings and joined by their parents. Very retro, they have old sound to them, which I love. They were amazing.
Josh Ritter and his band.
I loved Josh Ritter, he was so cute and smiling the whole time, seemed like a gentleman. His sound sort of reminds me of Bob Dylan, which is a good thing for obvious reasons.
Eagles of Death Metal.
They are old school rock n roll band from L.A, they totally killed! Each band member is a character in their own right, they definetely brought it, I loved every single moment of it.
(Side note: My friends and I almost caught the guitar pick and shirt of the lead singer. The shirt was snatched from our hands, but we felt his sweat from the dampness)Jason Mraz.
I dont think this man needs any introduction, everyone has heard of him by now. He was awesome, really connected well with the audience, really funny, everyone loved him.
