Hopefully more consistently than I was the last time I said I was back (e.g. the last post I wrote said I intended on writing more and then I didn't write for two months).<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For my first post back, I am not going to write much (lazy, I know). Over the last few months I have learned how important it is to do things that make me happy and to be happy with who I am and where I am in life. That way, I can let in wonderful people and things into my life.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I found this online and it struck a cord so I thought I would share it with you. Enjoy and remember, love yourself!</div>

Hello friends! After this one week, March Break hiatus, I am back and hopefully in full force. My blogging has been sorely lacking lately and I hope to hop back into it. To start again, I am going to write a blog about elephants. That's right, you read correctly! I am sitting in the airport with my sister, on a lay-over and we got bored. We eventually hit the topic of how elephants are better than humans.<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
Here is a list of the characteristics we came up with that make elephants so amazing:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
- They are caring animals. Elephants live in herds and they all help to care for each other. There are even stories of elephants that take in another elephant's child or even stray baby animals from other species. They all have each others' backs and work together like one big happy family.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
- "An elephant never forgets anything!" I have heard that so many times. I am not 100% sure that it is true but I have heard many times about elephants' amazing memory. I wish I had an amazing memory because I am constantly forgetting little things.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
- Elephants are honest about their emotions; if another elephant dies, they actually drink rotting fruit to get drunk and forget about their emotions. Isn't that so sad? Apparently they quite enjoy drinking, even when they are not sad.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
- My sister also pointed out that elephants are incredibly environmentally friendly. When they do drink wine (e.g. rotting fruit), they don't bottle it, helping to decrease the amount of waste in today's world.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
- Elephants are not self-conscious about the hair on their bodies; all animals are born with hair. They realize this. You don't see them shaving their whole bodies every other day!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
- Elephants maximize their body use by giving body parts multiple purposes. Okay, so mostly it's their nose. They use their nose/trunk for so many different things and our just sits on our face, breaking and getting stuffy. Not so great.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
See? Elephants are pretty cool critters. My sister and I hope to create a list like this for animals once a month. If you have any other cool facts or stories about elephants, please share! Hope you all had a fantastic week!</div>

The first one I <i>really</i> remember is the year 2000; everything would shut down, the technology keeping the world in order would stop working, and we would all slowly die of starvation and cold. Oh, and lack of cable television and computers. Unless you had accumulated enough rations for your whole family to survive until they found a way to get everything up again, of course. <i>Duh!</i><br />
<br />
It seems that, for most people, preparing for these events is the same as preparing for the "Zombie Apocalypse"; lock your doors, cover your windows, stock pile as much food as possible, and don't let them smell you! Also, it's like people turn into crazed wild creatures, fighting each other for the last can of chicken noodle soup at the grocery store.<br />
<br />
All this leads to the latest apocalyptical craze: <i>2012</i>. Books were written, movies were made, people freaked out. All because a group of people thousands of years ago made a calendar that stopped in 2012. Now my theory, which is supported by some, is that they just ran out of space. I mean that things is huge to begin with and they probably figured someone would just make another when the time came or something. Little did they know their population would almost die out.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
Others say that it is not a count of years, but a count of days and that the scientists had it right and we are all doomed. Others say it will just be a period of great change. Others say that we messed up our calendar a bunch of times and that our day counts for our calendar are not accurate; the apocalypse <i>will</i> come, just not in 2012. Who really knows, but...<br />
<br />
I am here to spread some good news. On Facebook today, I read something that someone overheard on a news cast or science show or something (not sure which - tried to Google it, no luck). Obviously it is not very reliable source but it still made me laugh. This is what was written: "There have been about 514 Leap Years since Caesar created it in 45BC. Without the extra day every 4 years, today would be July 28, 2013. Also, the Mayan calendar did not account for leap year. So technically the world should have ended 7 months ago." Makes sense, I guess.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I just wanted to share the news folks! It's not all over. We are <i>not</i> all doomed! So enjoy your week.Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14296689380407229069noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8480298848336133037.post-75640209516198454662012-03-01T09:39:00.001-04:002012-03-05T23:09:44.085-04:00Alright Folks! It's Over!As you all know (if you ever read my blogs), there have been interesting experiences throughout this term. Mostly, I blogged about our art and our science class. Science was definitely tenser, but the tears came out during Art. I thought I'd share with you some of the final results of these classes.<br />
<br />
In art class, we did lots of different projects and it was fun to see what we could do when we had some really good instruction.<br />

I ordered a necklace online recently and was so excited to get it. I ordered it off <a href="http://www.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Etsy</a> and was a little worried that I wouldn't get it (it was my first time ordering off this kind of website - here is the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/search/handmade?search_submit=&q=lunashineshine&view_type=gallery" target="_blank">link for the store</a>). Anyway, the order came in today. And I was so excited and it is so perfect! I love, love, <i>love</i> it!<br />

I think, on Valentine's Day, you should just do the things you wish you did every day. We shouldn't just love fully one day of the year. We should love whole-heartedly every day.<br />
<br />
However, in honour of this special day, I am posting this hilarious "Kids Say the Darndest Things - Marriage Style." I saw this and laughed so hard. Enjoy!<br />

I have situations in my life that have made me feel excruciatingly vulnerable and hurt. For a long time, I struggled to feel like I was worthy of great things. Today, I feel happy and grateful, and work hard to open myself to the beauty and joy the world has to offer. I may not be perfect, but <i>I am enough.</i> So are <i>you</i>. Open your hearts to all the possibilities.<br />

Unfortunately, the network has decided to cancel it after this first season. That is pretty much one of my newer biggest pet peeves; TV networks cancelling more than half the new shows after season one. But I digress.<br />

<br />Well, guess what? You can fly now with an airline that is a bit more old-fashioned and kind of <i>Pan Am</i>-ish. The stewardesses even wear the little hats! It made <i>me</i> want to become a stewardess. Do you know what airline I am talking about? That's right folks, I am talking about <i><a href="https://www.flyporter.com/Select-Language" target="_blank">Porter Airlines</a></i>. It flies out of Toronto City Airport. The only problem with it is that it doesn't go to the West of the country so I cannot visit my sister.<br />

This airline is much less expensive than the others, probably because of the airports it uses. However, the service is fantastic. The staff is extremely friendly and they feed you. For free. Even on short flights. Here are some pictures from my flight at Christmas-time.<br />

Today we did a few fun things, all projects you could do in a classroom.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Firstly, we made balanced plasticine meals. This is something that is great to incorporate with health class, for example. Anyway, we had lots of fun! It is so exciting to make itty bitty food and place it in a realistic way. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Our meal was salmon, carrots, asparagus, baked sweet potato, and a<br />glass of milk. It was hard to get the right brown for the potato skin!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br /><div>
Then, and this is my favourite part. We learned about the proportions of the face while drawing a portrait. The proportions really help and are so interesting to learn about. You never think about it that way. It was great! I have not drawn anything that realistic looking, ever. And it would be even greater if we learned how to shade. Anyway, so here is a before and after of how I drew faces.</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">New and improved portrait. Now I know things like, eyes are halfway<br />down the face, ears go from between the eyebrows and eyes to <br />the nose. Crazy how those little details make a difference.</td></tr>

<div>
So it was quite an exciting evening. There were lots of <i>Ooooh</i>s, <i>Aahhhh</i>s, <i>Really!?</i>s, and <i>No way!?</i>s. I love learning things like this. Hopefully we do shading soon!</div>

On Sunday...Alright folks! So I kind of missed Friday. However, there have been lots of good things this week so I decided to write a happy post for the week anyway. So time to link up with <a href="http://www.ajigreer.blogspot.com/2012/02/happy-friday.html" target="_blank">Amanda</a>! Here are some things that made me happy this week:<br />
<br />
- Last weekend, I got to explore a new town with someone and meet lots of new people. It was lots of fun. Quite an adventure!<br />
<br />
- On Monday, we got little mealworms for one of our projects. They were cute but unfortunately, most of them are in the pupa stage now and not moving around...<br />
<br />

- On Wednesday, we had a <a href="http://www.tidesofmyheart.blogspot.com/2012/02/what-wonderful-day.html" target="_blank">snow day</a>. It was full of <a href="http://www.tidesofmyheart.blogspot.com/2012/02/snow.html" target="_blank">beautiful flakes</a>. And I also went grocery shopping with my friend, Ms. A and we got lots of delicious food. We also enjoyed a wonderful homemade supper and chai lattes.<br />

- On Thursday, my new sweater came in. I ordered it online and thought it would only be delivered Monday. Guess I was lucky! I put on said sweater and was so cozy, I didn't want to change for my evening class. So I didn't but was worried people would really notice. Turns out half my team had the same idea. Yay!<br />

- For our P.D. day Friday, we had an interactive science day and one of the things we did was a dredge sample. I did lots of these in my B.Sc. so it was fun to get back to it. One of the groups at our table had some leeches. So cool!<br />

- Friday, Ms. A came by again. We went to the mall and I bought bookshelves! We then assembled them and now all my DVDs are in one of them (instead of the boxes which are now housing mealworms).<br />

- Yesterday, I went to see <i><a href="http://oneforthemoneyfilm.com/index2.html" target="_blank">One for the Money</a></i> with Ms. A. It's based on a book by <a href="http://www.evanovich.com/" target="_blank">Janet Evanovich</a> in the Stephanie Plum series. I think it's the first time I have seen my name used for a main character in a book, movie, or song. It was very cute and definitely makes me want to read the series now.<br />

- Last night, I went to a hot tub party at one of my fellow BEd-ers house. It was so much fun! We ate lots of delicious food, went snow rolling, and then watched <i><a href="http://crazystupidlove.warnerbros.com/dvd/" target="_blank">Crazy, Stupid, Love.</a> </i>by a warm fire. She also has the cutest little Yorkie puppy so I got some cuddles in.<br />

There were lots of highlights this week. I am such a lucky person to have a life filled with so much love, happiness, and fantastic people. What made you happy this week?Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14296689380407229069noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8480298848336133037.post-38617698240705848532012-02-02T10:45:00.001-04:002012-02-02T10:45:41.514-04:00SNOW!Alright folks, I just have to say that I <i>love</i> snow! And will sound ridiculous to lots of people but I was getting so sad that we weren't getting much snow this year.<br />
<br />
Well, let's just say that now I feel <i>much</i> better. Yesterday we had a <i>huge</i> snow storm. And by huge, I mean that they even shut down the university. Then I got up this morning and it was snowing again! Not a lot of snow, but snow nonetheless.<br />
<br />
As some of you may know, I have to <a href="http://tidesofmyheart.blogspot.com/2012/01/yay-for-friends.html" target="_blank">write a Nature Observation Journal</a> for my Elementary Science class. Well, really, I have to draw one. Problem is, I can't really draw. Also, I live in the city so there is only so much nature to observe.<br />
<br />
While looking out my window yesterday, I got a <i>genius</i> idea; I will take a sheet of black construction paper and photograph snowflakes to put in my journal! Here are some of the best pictures I got:<br />

Yesterday I watched a bunch of shorts and figured I would share some of them with you. Here goes!<br />
<br />
- I discovered that many of them are eerie or kind of creepy. One example was <i><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTdzCAGH3lU" target="_blank">The Invention of Love</a>.</i> Another example is this one:<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Some of them are cuter or funnier. One good example was <i><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sC7rIZ5dOPY" target="_blank">Out to Play (With a Magic Box)</a></i>. Another is this Pixar one which I have always found funny:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There is a plethora of short films out there: there is every subject and style you could imagine. Let me know if you find anything good!</div>

Sounds Lame But They're Cool. I Swear!Okay! So my aunt posted this video on my wall and somehow I didn't see it until now. But I checked it out and it was very cool.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/SKVcQnyEIT8?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
See? Pretty cool, right? So then I decided to check out the other video. And they are also all pretty cool. I don't know what this guy does for work that he has time to do all of this but it's pretty crazy!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Some of his videos are just random and funny, like this one:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And other ones are just incredibly cool and I can't believe he spent that much time on them. Like this one:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
He has a few more too. The anniversary one for his wife was pretty sweet. Check them out at his YouTube account <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/crazedadman" target="_blank">here</a>!</div>
