Yep, I'm still cleaning. This is getting pathetic, but at least it's getting done. The main problem is that I have too many books and not enough bookshelf space. The books then go in bags and boxes and then boxes and bags take up floorspace. I'm trying really hard to organize this a little better, though, since I may be moving into my "own place" (and by "own place" I mean my nonna's apartment upstairs).While it won't actually be my apartment, it will be a place to put all my stuff. Hopefully, I'll have room for all my stuff up there!
Do you want to know what I found this time? Let’s see: some extra wristbands from Ships and Dip III, some long lost books, a million socks (not all have partners), school supplies, some American change, books, about a year’s worth of Cosmo (from 2007-2008), some books, course packs and essays from CEGEP, a couple books and, have I mentioned books? SO. MANY. BOOKS!
Okay, I can understand why I have so many books: it’s no secret that I buy a ton of books. If I see a book I want to read, I’ll buy it, I don’t borrow from the library. I also have a lot of books I’ve had to buy for school (textbooks and such). I feel that having many books (that I’ve read and can display and talk about) is a sign of my intelligence. Weird, right? Cause there’s no way I can look smart with my room in a complete mess. It just doesn’t work.
Ugh. Well, I guess I better get back to cleaning. I’ll keep y’all posted!

Hopes and Dreams
Woo, so much has happened since my last blog. My best friend got married and is currently on her honeymoon. One of my closest friends is moving in with her boyfriend today. I got, and subsequently got rid of, a spray tan that I just couldn't get used to. I saw one of the summer's most hilarious films (The Other Guys, GO SEE IT!). Oh and I found my dream home.
That's right.
My dream home.
It's a condo in the world famous Habitat 67 building complex. It's 1,248 sq ft over two floors, gorgeous views and a private shuttle to downtown Montreal. It's also $459000, which is reasonable for the location and all it has to offer (look for yourself). It's just completely unreasonable for my current budget.
I know what you're thinking: Michèle! You're just a student! You can grow into that budget! Well, that's the plan. I may not be able to make it my first home, but I will eventually live there. And do you know why? Because it's my dream and I WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN!
That's the thing with hopes and dreams, you can't sit back and ask other people to do everything for you. You have to make your own mark, spend your own money, be your own person.
And happiness will follow.
