=> sooooo at the end of a busy march break and having to wake up at 8 on average, its time for my thoughts on each uni that i visited.
sat: western - amazing campus. very organized. nice rez. as "old" as the buildings seemed, it was very new looking and modern. totally spoiled my family's expectations of all unis. and as an extra plus, the rink is on campus and open to free skate monday - friday during lunchish hours. the whole gym facility was amazing, spanking new and already paid for in part with your tuition or living expenses etc.
wed: queens - yes i still love the bphe program. but here's where they get knocked down from my first choice to 4th-ish. my faculty is under construction. aka everything is being torn down and rebulit. now most of the stuff will be completed by the time i get there but the rink isn't done until 2012...which is just a tad bit far away. and also, the rez washrooms are =s
thrus: UT - it's huge! luckily my program is a fairly good size with 140 people, but there still might be classes that are located at the other side of downtown. ut's program is combined of kin and phe but put under bphe. so the good thing about that is in case m.ot doesn't work out i can simply take b.ed and go teach gym or work in something gym related. and i get to just fool around and have fun in different sports for 1/2 the day, eg. fencing, gymnastics, dance etc. rez was ok, not as nice as western's but livable all the same. the rooms seemed bigger actually...
sat: mcmaster - like western, the campus had a nice feel to it. buildings were up to date, nice and modern. rez was by far the best! totally fell in love mary keyes and les prince. the walls in mary keyes were so colourful too!!!! even the most ancient rez was nice, and that was building in the late 1800s or something. the kin program, as amazing as we've been advised they were, the competition is to the max and cut off is 87...havn't gotten that high in 2 years.
see now if i could make my own little uni, i would take the rez of mac, program of UT / queens, and campus & facilities of western. and a cut off avg of 80 so its at least achievable.

Knee, Room, And Everything Else.
=> Blah!! No new bloggies in a while... sorry bout that. So I guess just a few updates on what's been doing on in the life of Me.
=> Knee. Oy, trouble trouble trouble. So at first, people were wondering if maybe I tore a tissue or ligament or that it was my acl. Thank God that it wasn't. Then maybe it could have been my miniscus. It totally seemed like it, but again thank God that it wasn't. After a whole lotta glabalaga (aka 2 x rays, ultra sound, hospital visits, specialist, mri scan, & health card malfunction) it turns out that it was just tendonitis. A very painful case of tendonitis too I might add. The pros are thinking that since I already have osgood schlatters disease on my right knee, tennis just put too much strain on it.
Once I got an accurate diagnosis from the MRI scan, I saw a physiotherapist which didn't help so I went to go see a sports medicine guy/ chiropractor. And after seeing that clinic for 3 months, it's over 90% better. There's still pain when I stand too long and not moving, or if I'm walking for too long, and feels loose if I don't have a strap on or a tensor..or going up too many steps of stairs, can only go up around 1/2 of the flight at home. Now that I can walk relatively well though, I'm going to be seeing my mom's physio (which she says is amazing) which I have an appt booked tomorrow...or pretty much later on today.
=> ooo I just had to tell my health card story. So i go to get my mri done, the reception scans my card and then tells me, "you're card's been cancelled, have you moved lately?" "nope..." "have you gotten a letter saying that they're going to be cancelling your card? cause i know they're doing that to phase out the old card." "nope." "hm... ok that's weird. so i guess leave your credit card number with us for now and get your health card within 5 work days or else we'll have to charge you or you can book another appt." "um...well i don't want to book another appt so i guess i'll leave the number."
So then come monday i go get my new health card...omg it was such a long line up *sigh* but at least it eventually got done. At the counter, we asked the guy what was up with my card. He checked the computer and told us that he has no clue since it was not shown that my card was scheduled to get cancelled or anything. "Oh ok then..." So now both me and my daddy have the new health cards. =)
=> Reno update. Oh golly this post will be long. Washroom is pretty much done, just need to fill in the sparklies on the bubbles one of these days, then PICTURE POSTING!!! As for my room, i'm done painting it, with designs and all that. Don't know if i'll post pics of that yet since my dad still has to finish installing the hardwood and I need to move back in to get the full feeling of the room. But omg the "mural" is sooooo pretty, took me forever but it's sooooo pretty.
=> So um, now for the everything else, and actually why i'm posting agan. I just had to get this out somehow. Well I'm getting baptised this Easter and part of it is writing out our testimony. Now see, my testimony revolves quite alot around one of my skating coaches who past away and caused me a whole lot of heartache, reality check, and fear.
It's almost been four years now and I'm pretty good with the fact after now. It's just that everytime when i have to write out the story and everything i felt the one or so years after he died i end up reminiscing about the last time i saw him, his last intructions to me. Except this time, i don't want to reminisce in fear that it will affect my ability at co-op and school which is why percisely why i decided to post this little tidbit and release the inhibitions into cyberworld. It'll get more space to run around instead of being confound to the quarters of my own feeble mind.
Hm...maybe i'll post a briefed version of my testimony one day...Easter perhaps?
