Stay away from easy

"All good is hard. All evil is easy. Dying, losing, cheating and mediocrity are easy. Stay away from easy."

The past few days have been hectic to say the least. I have had a fever of 103 on and off for 3 days, school work is piling up, among other things. Life is really picking up speed. It really feels like I'm getting to the train station just as it is about to move away, and I just barely make it on each and every time.

Meet my boyfriend of almost two years now: josh. The past six months, we have been a little on and off, and it definitely has been a roller coaster ride... but for some reason, even though things haven't been going all that well, it seems we are getting better... for good.

we are talking, and fixing things together, each and every day... making positive progress (and actually showing that we have learned from our mistakes).

I'm not going to lie, he is great. Despite the things i want to say about him when I am steaming with anger, I really can't say too much bad.

He is a people pleaser, which has been the reason for most of our arguments.. which is, i guess, if you have to have a fault, is a good one.

but he is awesome, he will go to the end of the earth to make me happy... and he has a good heart. he takes care of me when I am sick, and talks about growing old. Sometimes i wonder if we will last, but i hope we do. He comes from a great family, more structured than mine, but it builds good character for him so I can't complain about his rules. I try not to step on their toes, as his dad is his biggest role model. - his dad is lucky to have a son like josh, and josh is lucky to have a dad like Bill.

josh is a great big brother too.. to nicky.. who is a great kid! - josh is compassionate, and nicky's eyes light up every time josh shows up to his games or throws a ball around with him in the driveway.  its pretty cute :).

his stepmom and step sisters are great too, i dont know them as well as i know nicky and bill, but from what i do know it is good. josh is lucky.

and he still has time for school and work to boot... superman?

even though i dont see him every day (as he lives an hour away), i still feel like he is always here. though romantic letters aren't as frequent as before... they make me happy... texts, calls... seeing him once a week .. it all keeps me going.

hopefully he opens up a bit more, like he used to. i know he wants to make changes in his life right now... and i hope to help in any way that i can.

i want him to become the person he wants to be, which i know will be amazing.

i love him :)

- thats all for today... sorry it got a little mushy... lol, i've been holding it on my chest for a while

Hey!

ok, so tonight was tina's sisters "wedding reception" for everyone in Canada who didn't get to go to the wedding (FYI: eva got married in greece over the summer).

I was talking to Sue (Tina's mom) today and we were just remembering how i have been best friends with tina for 11 years!! omg!! that is totally the oldest friend I have.

And the cool thing is, I was there tonight with all their family, and everyone was calling me family too. Great feeling. Love them to death.

Tina might be the most giving and awesome person I know. She gives a shit about everyone else before herself. She has a "good heart" as my mom says.

GOD I LOVE HER!!

BFFAEAEAEAEEAEAEAEAEAEA TINAAAA!!

btw: tonight was an awesome evening, we looked at pics from the wedding and watched the amazing video. Tons of food and booze (obviously... like come on its Sue and Peter).

Gotta love them.

Hitting the hay, back to london it is tomorrow!

I can feel this is going to be a good week (i hope :P)

Ouch my legs :(!

Okay, so I haven't yet mentioned that I'm training for another tri-athalon (ok I don't know why I said "another", I haven't done a full one, only team ones and duathalons lol!).  But, being a rower and swimmer all my life, I am having serious trouble getting fast at the biking part (translation: lance armstrong would laugh.. really really hard). So, every day when I'm at the gym, I force myself to bike... far. Which sucks. Today I biked 15km and I will increase by 5km every day. I also ran 10 km and did an intense ab workout.... yeah I'm pooped. But it's all worth it in the end??? NOT SURE. hahah

Too bad I'm not as poetic as that dude. Baby steps.

Exciting news!!!

My mom gets home from china today!!!... My dad sucks at staying in touch (his phone is even off the hook)- so i will have some good conversation when she gets back lol ;)

I have to run though, labs labs labs all day. FML

TTFN!!- suz

"It takes a long time to grow an old friend"-john lenoard

Friendship, where to start.

I'm positive everyone has that one person that they feel they can rely on. But... they took a long time to make right? 

What happens when you let someone in too fast? You place unmerited trust in him or her and they cease to measure up to anything close to a friend?... oh god this sounds familiar for me!

However, I do have some pretty good rocks in my pond... others not so good...

Poisioness friends of mine... beware! lol

-thats it. sit on it?

TTFN!

Today is the day

Today is the day that I have finally decided to create my (much needed) blog. 

Why today?.. 

Well, you see, today is that day that I have decided that one can no longer wait to do that things that he/she wants to or needs to do. It's almost like the battle to losing weight, or applying for that new job, or clicking yes on your university acceptance! Why not today? Today is the day you can make anything happen... Today, everything can happen. Today you can begin to do and be everything you want to be... and I will.

Since you (and I) are new to my blog, let me introduce you a little bit to my present life:

• My mother is currently and always will be my largest role model. The most wonderful, kind and beautiful person you may ever come across. I don't tell her I love her enough.
  
• I have amazing and very supportive friends.. I promise you will hear more about them in the near future
• I am immersed in school, as I am a second year university student studying Medical BioPhysics
• I have recently moved and am still settling in

... read my blogs for more :)

My inspiration for this blog:

In the past I was having trouble setting goals for myself and keeping them. They would either be wild and un-attainable or I would get caught up in other things and just write them off for some excuse or another. Well... NO LONGER!!! Here are my goals, fully and publicly!! And you all can whoop my bum into shape with your comments if I'm not sticking to them!!!

So here goes...

1. Stay fit
2. Meet my potential academically 
3. Go to Dental school
4. Travel, travel, travel
5. Love

Wish me luck!!

TTFN!
