& we’re dancing, dancing, like we’re made of starlight

Fact: I am A HUGE FAN of Taylor Swift.

Don’t judge. Sure, I share the same musical interest as my 12 year old sister and all her friends… BUT IT’S TAYLOR SWIFT, COME ON.

I just wanted to share the happy moment I had when two things happened on Friday. TWO VERY. EXCTING. THINGS.

  1. I  finally purchased the new Taylor Swift album: Red 
  2. I found out that Taylor Swift is coming back to Vancouver next June

          

Sometimes I get really embarrassed about my massive love for Taylor Swift because she tends to be grouped with the artists that are for younger preteen girls. But I was one of those young preteen girls when Taylor Swift was first on the radio. I remember listening to the radio late at night and hearing Teardrops on my Guitar and wondering who sang that song. I forgot every morning to go check but eventually I caught a time when the radio told me.

And so I have absolutely NO shame about my love for her!

I don’t just love Taylor Swift because of her music. Well, yeah, but more in the aspect of lyrics. I am a BIG fan of good song lyrics. It shows me that music is so powerful and it’s just – ehgtikahnatekhnateknhaetlmnamn.

I don’t know how to describe it! Music is just so – It’s a little crazy and hard to explain.

Anyways. I finally got the CD! And I am a HAPPY camper. I know people aren’t really into physical copies of CDs (opting for iTunes digital CD instead) but I am a sucker for souvenirs. Plus I don’t know if you know this, but she likes to hide messages in her song lyric book. So I spent quite the while decoding it. It was good fun.

…OMG I MENTIONED THAT SHE’S COMING TO VANCOUVER ON JUNE 29 RIGHT?!  I’M SPAZZING OUT.

I went to her concert in September 2011, and it was AMAZING. I may not have been super close but – just – no words. The experience was just –

AND NOW I GET TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN OMGAHH

Guys.

If I don’t get tickets, I might actually fall into a pit of depression.

BUT I AM GETTING THOSE TICKETS.

 

No I didn’t take a handful of free lipstick at the last concert…

 

PS: The title of this post is a lyric from “Starlight” on the CD

Okay so over the weekend I watched Pitch Perfect and let me just say: I LOVED IT.

I used to be in choir, actually I’ve been in choir every school year up until university. So seeing this and hearing the AMAZING singing was just, omg. Perfection. Not that I’m saying you have to be musically inclined to enjoy this, you’ll enjoy it regardless because Rebel Wilson (Fat Amy) is probably the most hilarious human being ever.

Wahh I don’t want to ruin anything for anyone.

BUT THE RIFF OFF WAS AMAZING.

Wait no! All of the singing was awesome!

THE SONGS –

SO GOOD –  JUST – WHAT.

How have I not heard about Anna Kendrick before?!

Did I ever tell you guys about how I think I’m in love with Anna Kendrick? I think I’m in love with her. She’s gorgeous and hilarious and her voice is HEAVENLY.  Although this might be a result of either extreme jealousy or extreme fandom.

I think this post ended up with me fangirling and rambling.

I’ll just stop. But I think I’m obsessed. (No, I’m not currently listening to the soundtrack . . . )

Here, go listen to this Explosion of Musical Awesomeness AND REMEMBER THIS IS ALL VOICES BECAUSE IT’S MIND BLOWING AND AWESOME. Acapella is the coolest thing EVER.

Chem Lab Reports

What?! Two posts in one day? Within the same hour?! KIM, I’M IMPRESSED. Thank you, thank you, you’re all wonderful.

Buuut… I just wanted to say a quick thing.

Lab reports. 

TAs say “Oh do them within two days after the lab”. Not because that’s when they’re due, but because that makes it 52455461151212 times easier to finish. (I calculated that number myself.)

I thought I’d put off my chem lab report until today because of midterms but I realized I just about forgot everything that happened in the lab AND in the lab prep that I did. And therefore writing the lab report is significantly more effort than it was before.

Chem 121 lab reports are relatively easy, considering it’s just the pink sheets. Filling them out usually takes no time at all. That’s why I’m kinda mad I didn’t fill it out right after the lab.

Advice: Do the lab report as soon as you can. You’ll tell yourself it’s easy (because it usually is) and you’ll tell yourself that’s why you can do it later. But the reason it’s easy is because everything you did in prep and in the lab is still fresh and when you wait, all that information gets fuzzy and forgotten and you have to look it up all over again and second guess yourself and it ends up way more work than it should be.

Ergo, do the lab report as soon as you can.

Yup.

I just used the word ergo.

And I’m almost positive I used it properly.

Check that one off my bucket list.
