let me clarify: i am selfish

as all these compliments come in, about how brave i am and how i like to make friends with everyone.... well, i feel that i need to explain that that whole episode with the people downstairs was mostly out of selfishness. they were invading my personal space with their sound. when i started to hear their voices in the evening i would get uptight because i knew that i was going to have trouble falling asleep. i didn't want to be her friend... i wanted them to shut up. that is the truth.
and yes, they've been quiet. and yes, i do feel good that we're on better terms. and like my mom pointed out, it's harder to be angry now that i see them as a young couple, rather than as the enemy.

it's been a busy week with school, as you can tell from my absence. i had a very frustrating 2 days at my clinical this week. it felt like my instructor was quizzing me more than she was teaching me. much more. apparently i wasn't prepared enough and it was frustrating. i'm not going to go into the details because i've ranted enough about it and i'm over it.

...well, i thought i was over being frustrated with myself, until yesterday when i was craving fruit perogies, and i thought i'd make some. well, i had forgotten that i had attempted to make them on 2 other occasions, both times failing miserably. so now it is written across my recipe card "DO NOT EVER MAKE THESE AGAIN." [but you know, i didn't throw the recipe away..] from now on, it's lazy-man's for me only. ....okay, here's something to make you laugh.... let's see if i can find it..... it's a pic of my very first attempt of cherry perogies that my roommate and i made when we lived in canmore....

hahaha! yes, they were supposed to be all the same size and shape...
