Hawaii, Marianas Trench, New Shoes, G2.

Hello,

It feels like its been way longer than it really has been since I've written here. It's been 17 days.
I am going to Kingston again in 6 days with Lexie for the Marianas Trench concert which is in 8 days, and honestly, I'm not as excited as I thought I would be now, it feels like it's more than 8 days until the concert, it almost doesn't feel like I'm going at all actually.
I'll get more excited when I'm actually in Kingston though, I know it!

I only have around 1 month left until I'm done my first year of college, it's going by really fast and I'm not really sure how I feel about it.
I don't want to grow up!

I purchased some new shoes online a week ago that I am super excited to receive;

They are beautiful!
I can't walk in heels to save my life but I am going to learn too because I have a feeling these will be my favourite shoes. 
I hope the snow goes away soon because I was planning to try to work in some of the heels I currently own even though I look ridiculous trying to walk in them, I have to get used to it somehow...being clumsy doesn't help though.

I also have probably mentioned this in previous posts but I plan to get my G2 soon, I am nervous, but I want to get it so badly! I love walking and all but I really hate the cold so I wish I got my G2 before the snow fell so I didn't have to walk in this demonically cold weather that we call Winter. I will probably try to get it at the beginning of Summer. I think it would be a good way to start my Summer, being able to drive without one of my parents by my side...mainly because then I could just take their car whenever and not have to bring them along or beg them to take me so I can drive!

For next year I will have to do placement for a month, and I have quite a few options that are close to home like Kitchener and Hamilton but then I also have England or Sweden...or Hawaii as a possible option.
I mostly want to go to Hawaii for my placement. I would have to find a place to work for the month I am there for my placement and I would get to see friends as well, it's hard to imagine it's been 4 years since I moved back to Canada but this is an opportunity to go back and I'm going to push for it.
I don't want to go so far for a few reasons but I do want to go.
I am going to talk to my parents about it some more and see what we can do!
But it's not for sure, I might not go anywhere far and just stay in Canada, maybe even in Kingston and just stay at home, but I don't want to do that.
It's not until January, so I have tons of time to figure it out and I will keep everyone posted as to what's happening!

I don't really have much else to talk about as I live a relatively boring life.

551 Hours, MRI results, Piercings, Marianas Trench.

Hello guys!

I've been in Kingston all week for Reading Week. I had a great time and spent most of it with AJ.
I got the results of my MRI and it turns out I have Focal Nodular Hyperplasia, it sounds like a big scary, horrible thing, but it's not.
It is referred to as a tumour, but it isn't harmful. It is very unlikely that it will grow or cause any symptoms. My doctor said it is an anomaly and that my liver just grew that way.
I am going to have to have it monitored every 6 months to a year to make sure it doesn't cause any problems, I have another ultrasound on May 1st to have it checked again.
I also had more blood taken to test my Hypothyroidism and they were able to lower the dose of the pills I am taking for it, which is always good.

This week has gone by so quickly for me and I wish it could last a little bit longer. I am going back to Cornwall tonight, I'm not exactly super excited to leave home again, but I got classes to go to and work to get done.
Things seem to be getting better for me, I am happier than I've been in a really long time and I feel like I'm not being held back by myself anymore, I can finally achieve things I want to and put my all in everything I do.

I got my lip pierced again yesterday, I now have spiderbites! I used my Christmas money of course and it didn't hurt at all and it hasn't really swollen or anything, by far the best piercing I have gotten, it was so simple and quick.

I love how it looks and it doesn't feel like a new piercing at all, the new hole is the one closer to the corner of my mouth. (Ignore my dry, cracked lips).

I now have 8 piercings, my tongue, smiley, lip x2, both ears, industrial and my belly button. I plan to get second holes on both of my ears soon too, so I'll have 10, which sounds like a lot...but it really isn't.

I finally came up with a topic for my photo essay assignment in one of my classes, I am going to take photos of all of the things-most of the things I bought on eBay. If I took a picture of all of them I'd have way to many. It took me all week to come up with a theme and as soon as I stopped thinking so hard about it, that's when I figured out what to do my assignment on. I need to stop thinking so much, things are easier when I don't!

I am coming back to Kingston on March 26th, which is my parents anniversary. Then on the 28th I am going to the KRock centre to see Marianas Trench with Lexie who will also be coming to Kingston with me. I am beyond excited!
As AJ said, 551 hours until I am in Kingston again. That sounds like forever...

And on that note, I need to finish up some laundry, clean 3 hamster cages and make sure I have everything packed and don't forget anything.
