Shopping
Christmas is pretty much here! The mall I work in has already built Santa's Castle and put up all the decorations. My store is playing Christmas music already and I'm already loading my Frank Sinatra Christmas Album into my iPod. For once, I'm not all "scrooge-y" and "bah-humbug" about Christmas coming in November. I even kind of want to put up my Christmas tree this weekend. The unfortunate part is that La Nina (aka super cold snowy winter) is coming this year. Having no body fat also means that you have no insulation which REALLY sucks when you live in the "True North". Unfortunately, I hate the cold because my body tends to clam up and get major cramps when Vancouver winters start. The old injuries in my wrist, knees, and ankles from cheerleading are already getting painful from the cold. Thus the hunt for a heater, a REAL good winter coat, warm scarves, hats, and mittens begins. There are a lot of cute mittens, hats, scarves and even earmuffs in stores this year, but for some reason I can't seem to find the perfect coat and the perfect heater.
The Coat:
Requirements:
brown/beige/camel
knee length
wool coat
has toggles
I've been looking through every physical and online store that delivers to Vancouver. Sadly, all the cute toggle coats that I have come across only come in black, gray and navy! Like this one! Isn't it cute? Aside from the colour availability everything else fits the requirements!
The Heater:
Again, I've been searching through Canadian Tire, London Drugs, Home Depot, Rona, and any other store that sells fans and heaters looking for THE Heater. My boyfriend recently brought me one that heats, humidifies and purifies from Walmart, but it doesn't have the fan only option that I want so badly. Why? because the fans in my house are massive and stored in the garage. Which means, every winter I have to carry my fan up two flights of stairs to the garage and then carry my heater back down, and vice versa in the summer.
Requirements:Heats (thermostat, auto-off, more than 1 heat option)
Humidifies and purifies the air
Fan Only option
You would think some technical genius would have already created something with these functions, because it only makes sense, and be widely selling it in North America... but no. On the other hand, the Asians have done it (I love the space saving mindset of my race)! This baby is called the Fujitronic 5-in-1 Whirl Wind-Air Cooler/Heater/Fan/Humidifer/Ionic Air Purifier! It costs $119 for this thing, I'll take it! The problem is, I don't know where to find it in Vancouver. I need to thoroughly search Richmond and Crystal Mall for this excellent piece of technology before the chill kicks in.
Test Results!!!
One of the current classes I'm enrolled in right now has 15 minute bi-weekly tests. It also comes with an awesome policy: as long as you achieve 50% on your test you are allowed to rewrite BUT your rewrite score replaces your original score no matter what. I haven't lost a mark so far in this class, but when the grades were released for the second test last week, I found out I got 12/14! Imagine my HORROR! Anyways, I decided to rewrite this test so I can maintain my perfect streak. I was actually debating whether I should or not during the course of the day because I was feeling super lazy and wanted to go home earlier, and I also felt like a neurotic freak for feeling miserable over losing 2 marks. The keener got the best of me, and I decided that I cannot live knowing that I can quite possibly get 100% in this course if I rewrite the test. Unfortunately, the same Thursday I decided to rewrite my test on, we had another test last Thursday. I probably lost 3 marks on because I panicked and blanked out for 5 minutes and only wrote one sentence for the last question, so I guess I'll be rewriting that one as well. The point of all this? Grades for my test 2 rewrite was released! My perfect streak stays!!!Side note: I just realized I formatted this post in APA style... geeeeky!!!!
