Wow. After that week of crapiness AND failing a midterm, I had an awesome weekend. I spent Saturday night hanging out at the Nursing, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering party. It was a really good time of building relationships with people in my faculty. (It's expected that they were mostly guys :P). And I met some great guys at that.
Wooo... I am moving! I've been on the lookout for new roommate(s), but not yet for apartments. It looks promising. It surprised me that there are Christian girls around who are in the same situation and haven't found anyone to live with. I am excited to be living with some new people. I've learned over the past year and a half that being in community, being around Christian girls, is so beneficial to my emotional well-being.
Aviva, one of the gals from the young adults group at my church is looking for someone to live with for next September. But there's also a dancer from Concordia, and a music student from McGill.
I just have one last thing to say: it is COLD! You know it's cold when icicles form on your scarf right by your mouth and the boogers freeze inside your nose.

Life always shoots me down when I'm least expecting it
Last night I finished a looooong week of midterms assignments and just plain craziness.
Sunday I spent 7 hours on a physics assignment. I would have been at it longer if it weren't for the 6 hour dance meeting and rehearsal for our show next weekend.
My roommate returned from two weeks in Panama, and the apartment got a littler smaller.
Monday I handed in the assignment after very little sleep. No sleep for Lindsay... I started studying for math. Meanwhile, there was a rendez-vous of 20 people in our living room. ~10 Campus for Christ students and staff from the University of Western Ontario trekked all the way out to Montreal for the week. Unfortunately I didn't have much of a chance to hang out with them. But it sure was a blessing to our ministry.
Tuesday I crammed and exammed. I think I might have a B in math! Wooooo!
Wednesday I started studying for physics... dredded quantum mechanics. My study buddy didn't show up, but another friend showed up and we studied for hours. I worked out most of a computer programming assignment due the next day.
Yesterday was Thursday. Everyone in my physics class was more worried than they'd ever been about an exam. We studied and studied... and gave up studying. I spent another 2 hours on my computer assignment and handed it in.
My roommate and I got together to chat. We've figured out that life in such a small apartment (three people in a two bedroom) isn't working so well. We need to split up (someone moves out) or we need to get rid of 1/2 of our stuff. I think I've decided it'll be best for me to move out. At least I'll be living with students... people who have schedules more like mine. *Sigh*
Then the physics exam. It actually wasn't so bad... for everyone else!
I'd concentrated so much on what was giving me trouble (wave packets, wave functions, psi, probability densities) that I forget to go back and study the easy stuff from the beginning of the course. Yikes!
Frostbite (the Engineering ice cream shop) gives out free cones to people who can prove they got <30% on a midterm... who wants my free ice cream?

John Mayer in concert
John Mayer tickets are not, in fact, as expensive as I originally thought!!
This Saturday, my friend Jozef will be picking up 2 tickets: $60 each!!!
"Down to the wire
I wanted water but
But I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing me"

Music News
I've just been hanging out and relaxing these past couple days at home. It's been great.
Catching up on listening to music... checking out concert dates! John Mayer is coming to the Bell Centre (Montreal), but tickets are $124 for nose bleed section... and up to $500 for good seats. Yikes!! I was waiting and waiting for him to come to Canada with the Continuum tour, but if I can't get decent seats for $100 or less, then I'm probably not going :(.
Oh! And I really really really like Anberlin's new "Cities" CD.
Check out this track:
"Unwinding Cable Car"
You're motive and stable
You're like an unwinding cable car
Listening for voices but it's the choices that make us who we are
Go your own way, even seasons have changed
Just burn those new leaves over
So self-absorbed
You'll seem to ignore the prayers that have already gone above
Chorus:
This is the correlation of salvation and love
Don't drop your arms
Don't drop your arms, I've got your heart
With quiet words I'll lead you in
La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la
La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la
Backing away from the problem of pain
You never had a home
You've been misguided, you're hiding in shadows for so very long
Don't you believe that you've been deceived
That you're no better than
The hair in your eyes will never disguise
What you're really thinking of
[Chorus X 2]
You're so brilliant, don't soon forget
You're so brilliant, graze much your heart
You're so brilliant, don't soon forget
You're so brilliant, graze much your heart
You're so brilliant (This is the correlation)
Don't soon forget (Between salvation and love, don't drop your arms)
You're so brilliant (I've got your heart)
Graze much your heart (With quiet words I'll lead you in and out of the dark)
[Chorus X 2]

How long does it take to heal?
Six months since you held me like you wanted to;
Sixty-four days between hello and goodbye.
Two times we lay there so still, so close.
Swing.
Seven days of silence when your love made me cry.
One day, 6 boxes, 5 bags... my car.
Eight phone calls of words that weren't said.
Two arms the emptiest they've ever been,
A million thoughts of you congested my head.
Chorus:
Hooooow long
How long, how looooong?
Hooooow long my dear,
Does it take to heal?
Three weekends of downcast eyes, lost smiles,
Four thousand texts overflowed from my heart.
Nine times I convinced myself it was over,
And yet,
There were five times more that I'd never part.
Sixteen kleenexes, 99 tears.
Three close friends, hot tea, chocolate swirl.
Time and time again I think about it; Talk about it.
I AM pursuable, a special kinda girl.
And it's eight weeks since I've seen you
With those two tired eyes that peered into mine.
And told me without saying a single word
Once we'd been right, and I'll be fine.
Sixty-four days between hello and goodbye.
Two times we lay there so still, so close.
Swing.
Seven days of silence when your love made me cry.
One day, 6 boxes, 5 bags... my car.
Eight phone calls of words that weren't said.
Two arms the emptiest they've ever been,
A million thoughts of you congested my head.
Chorus:
Hooooow long
How long, how looooong?
Hooooow long my dear,
Does it take to heal?
Three weekends of downcast eyes, lost smiles,
Four thousand texts overflowed from my heart.
Nine times I convinced myself it was over,
And yet,
There were five times more that I'd never part.
Sixteen kleenexes, 99 tears.
Three close friends, hot tea, chocolate swirl.
Time and time again I think about it; Talk about it.
I AM pursuable, a special kinda girl.
