I haven't posted in a while, since I went away...to Israel for my cousins Bar Mitzvah. It was great! But then I haven't been able to post since I had to catch up on everything!
Let's see 18 family members in Isreal, we had our moments, but in the end it was great.
Izzy did a fantastic job, he got to do two bar mitzvahs, which meant two parties :) For one we got to dress in robes and danced around holding trays of sweets. The other was a party in the backyard under a tent. Aunty Rivka thought it looked like a circus, but I thought it was great, and since it poured that night it was very useful! I got a chance to see people I haven't seen in a long time, as well as bond with my cousins, which we could probably use a little more of. I also got to meet some new people. It was nice. I was staying at Aunty Rivka's house, so I got see more of her and have some fun late night silly chats. Her doggies are sooo cute, and the cat Pumpkin too. We went to a spa for two nights, that was such a treat. The first night everyone was there, and the second it was just me, Mum and Dad. We had our own little hut with a jacuzzi, and slippers and robes for everyone :)
One more week of school, which is crazy!!!! I still don't know what to do for the summer. ahh stress...
Running is going good this past weekend I did the Spring Run Off in High Par. My time was 48:33, which is ok, and then on Sunday I ran 16k (which is the farthest I've run so far, and it was a good run!)
This Sunday is our first dragon boating practice, I really hope it doesn't snow!!!!

Well,
I haven't written in a while and I don't quite fell like doing my homework, so i'll write. Well I already did what is due for tomorrow.
This past weekend sucked! I worked both days, well saturday was fun at work...I worked with Joanne and Tom it was like old times...we had a countdown!!!
On friday I had sushi it was good, then went to see Volver with my parents. But it was soo cold in the theatre so i fell asleep....but it looked like a good movie...well I saw half of it.
I had a good run on sunday, it was a little tough because of the time change. I'm really liking the running club! I have to register for the Mississagua marthon tonight.
I'm going to Isreal in a week and a half! I'm looking forward for the hotness...it better be warm! Although I'm not so sure how to get all my running in.
School and placement are both good, but busy. Although I don't have placement this week because it's march break.

I'm kinda tired of this winter weather! I want the warm sun, actully i'd like to go away for a week of fun in the sun! It think last year at this time I was getting ready for Hawaii.....how I wish I could go back....Jill lets forget school and go...We can get heulwen to convince one of the pilots to fly us all there!!! I think it's a good plan!!!
Hm what else do I have to report....I've started the running clinc and have been a couple of times with them. On sunday's we run at 8:30, i'm not used to running at that time. This past weekend I think my body woke up just as we were finishing...great eh? It seems like a good group, and it gets you out there running. Not this past weekend but the one before, I went to the farm which was nice and relaxing. This past weekend I went to symposium for intervenors, it was amazing. I learnt a lot and listened to some great speakers. I was surprised to see how many people we knew, most we from places that we visited during intro to the field.
I had a midterm today, I wasn't so happy with it. oh well...it will nice to relax a bit tonight. Oh I did get to re-take part of my unit 4 test for Comm 1 and I think I did much better :)
So i'll end with that positive note!

Yes it's winter cold season...i'm not feeling so hot. Actully quite cold. I think I got sick since it's so cold in my room! Hmm let's think of some positive news....I joined a running clinc and i'll start running with them on tuesday. I went to a fun superbowl party! Hmm let's see if I know how to put in a pic...I think that worked...i hope so. Well superbowl was fun! I went to my friend liz's house (she's from school) Lisa, Maria and Monica were there too as well as a ton of her family. It was a good time!
Monday at school wasn't so hot, and we had a test, whew that tough!
That's all for now!
Cheers!!!

I don't really know what to say....but I thought I would make a post since it's been a while and that was one of my resoultions to psot more.
Let's see...i've been running!!! and it's great! I was having a really crappy day the other day, I went for a run and put me in such a better mood.
School wise...I guess i've been keeping up with my homework, which I probably should be doing, now....but I don't feel like it. And i'm going out soon.
Hmmm there has to be something exciting going on....I have placement this semister and it's going great!
ok sorry this isn't the most exciting blog yet...
i'll find something exciting to report!

Happy New Year Everyone!
First I will list my new year resolutions....
1.To not try and do too many things!!
2.Run a half marthon, this inculdes doing the training over the winter (or whatever you want to call the weather now)
3.To keep in touch better. If I say I will e-mail ,call, or even post a blog, i'm really going to try do it. Espically people like Alison who are so far....
4.To eat healthy, which is kinda part of the running...
5.To do well in school(do things ahead of time), and get this Austraila trip organized!
So that's what I plan to do this year!
The Hoildays were crazy busy, I'm kinda glad they are over. I'm really glad exams are over, they were really busy. I'm happy with my marks from first semister.
For New years I went out east :) Moncton for new years with Jill and then to halifax to visit heuwlen and kathy and alison and their other roomates. It was a good trip!
Now i'm back at school.
I got some new running gear and I tested it out today and had a great run! and tomorrow I start placement! I hope it's good (i'm sure it will be!)
Cheers,
Danielle

I am so bad at updating! It's a sunday morning, i'm having some coffee, and thought I would actully do an update.

First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEULWEN!!!! ok so i'm copying Jill and it's a little late. I hope you had a good day and weekend, birthday's are always fun when on a friday or saturday night! I had a drink for you, well it was a shot and it took me three tries. Yes I'm patheic, we'll have to pratice over New Year's! I hope you and Jill are still coming!

Second, school is great! It's very busy though! The work and learning signing never seem to stop! I'm liking so it's worth all the work. I have a project that i'm really excited about, it's writing a purposal and fundraising so people from class can go to the international deafblind conference in Austrailia next year.

Thrid, over reading week, which was a couple of weeks ago. I had horrible painful toothache. It resulted in a 3 step root canal. I'm almost back to normal :) It was really annoying that this happened over reading week, but I guess it was better that I didn't have to go to school in pain and I could stay home doped up on pain killers. On the plus side I had two really good runs before my tooth started hurting that week. And just before that Myles and I decdied that it wasn't the right time to be "seeing each other". I have no time for a relationship and they are way too stressful. So we are just staying friends :) We were supposed to do this crazy run together, but i was in too much pain with my tooth :( oh well we'll just have to a marathon or half next year. My running goal is to do a half marathon next year, not really caring about the time. But improving my 10k time and then the following year i'll look into improving my half marathon time.

Fourth, my grandma has moved to Toronto! I went last weekend to bring her here! It was a nice short visit to Winnipeg. I'm going to miss going there to visit, but it's nice to have her here! It was may dad's birthday this week. Mum and I threw him a mini surprise party with his buds at new fav lounge. And then for his birthday we went out for a nice dinner.

Fifth, I'm still working at second cup. I like working, and i've worked out a good schedule with Joanne, so i'm not super stressed. I think i'm stress regardless...hehe. Plus I'm still on the hunt for an apartment, and if I keep working i'll have money for it. I really want to move to Broadview and Danforth.

HMMM any more numbers or anything else I can update on....oh I went to see a really weired not a feel good movie, but interesting with alan last night. It was Running with Sissors. Strangly I enjoyed it, i'm not too sure how to express my thoughts about it, it was sad but good and interesting. It was nice to see Alan too, we haven't seen each other in a while. Oh i'm going to his sister Karla's party today which should be nice. Now I think i'll go for a run, I hope I don't freeze it's looks cold out!
