Where has the time gone?

I have been at the cabin this weekend and it has been so nice to relax and not worry as much about school and graduation. My life has been pretty much consumed by those things for the last two months and I am ready for it all to be over. I have just under one month until graduation and frankly that scares the CRAP out of me. I am so ready to be done with classes but graduating means finding a "big girl" job and joining the so-called "real-world" EEK!

This weekend has been so nice to get away and I have done some pretty interesting things. Here is what I have learned/done this weekend.

1. Cooked corn beef has for the first time
2. Swept and mopped concrete because of water damage
3. Cleaned the shower (woof)
4. Baked brownies
5. Siphoned gasoline out of our snowmobiles (SOOO FUN)
6. Cleaned gutters (not the coolest thing)
7. Chopped wood
8. Grilled chicken

So this weekend was filled with a variety of different things and I loved having the opportunity to learn how to do stuff.

New Spaces and Faces

So this weekend I went shopping at Merle Hay Mall. I tend to avoid that mall because it is run-down and there tends to have a sketchy crowd.

However, I was pleasantly shocked on Saturday when I stopped by their at how much it had improved. The front of the mall had been completely torn down and replaced with nice windows and some light sculptures out front as well. I think that this will really help the mall to attract more business and keep their sales up. They are also adding new stores such as Ulta and Staples.

I think that the thing that will really help the mall look perfect is to re-vamp the Sears department store on the end. It looks very old and run down and I think that a face lift will make the mall look great!

Birthday Week!!

Last week was a long busy week and I can't believe this week is ready to start. Last week was my 23rd birthday so I spent a lot of time celebrating. Wednesday night I hung out with my PR agency and we just hung out and talked. I ended up staying at Drake until 2:30 in the a.m.

Thursday was my actual birthday and my day started off with breakfast with Mallory, then for lunch my co-workers at Variety baked me a cake and we had lunch from simply italian. Finally for dinner my parents took me to Bonefish Grill and then we went to Cheesecake Factory for dessert. It was amazing!!! I got a new iPOD nano, iTunes gift card, money, and the collectors edition Sex and the City with all the seasons!!

Friday night I went out to Tonic with all my friends. It was a great time and I am so luck to have so many amazing friends.

The rest of the weekend I spent playing catch-up on my homework and stuff around the house.
