Good days

So yesterday's good day consisted of:

- writing my last test of the year (not including exams). I did not do so well.. BUT!
- I got back an assignment (Steph the one you looked over for me), that I thought I had done very poorly on (because I threw it together at the last minute) but got an 83!!! Yes! So that totally ballances the asstastic test I wrote.
- I was elected floor tresurer for next year! OK I was uncontested, but still, go me!
- Listened to the song Billie Jene over and over again.
-Tried on clothes for Saturday!
- Dr. told me I won't die and I am fine.

So obviously a good day.

Today so far has been good. This evening has the great possibility of going sour though. But at the very least here's what's happened so far:
-Poll clerked for a friend of mine, and met some really nice people. Commuters are fun! I like meeting people now, especially nice friendly people.
- I bought a purse! Oh it's so nice. It's from the gap. It looks all lived in and perfect. I got stuck between black or purple, went with black.
- Had my crim law class this morning. Wonderful. I will miss that class when it's over. oh It's so funny and interesting. And the proffessor is fantastic and also hilarious.

So if you can't tell I'm into lists today, so lets make a list of things for me to do tomorrow:
- Go to the gym (Yes! Actually excited about this one)
- Fix up my resume.
- Decide if I'm going to this party on Friday.

The party thing... ugh.... it's complicated. You know I thought I left this kind of drama behind in say.... Junior high. It's stupid. This girl has basically stopped talking to me. If I go to her party I could be blamed for ruining all her fun. If I don't go, she can say that I'm being childish for not going to her party, that I ruin everything, and that I won't let this fight go. So I emailed her and asked her if she wanted me to come. That was
yesterday, she has not emaile me back.

I really feel like this is an episode of Degrassi Junior High. Or perhaps maybe I saw this on Ready or Not. I'm not sure. This is stupid.

Anyway, I'm actually in quite a good mood, and obviously a little rambly, so I'm just going to stop now.

Everything is Fine

So I had a very good day. Perhaps I will post about it later, or tomorrow, I don't know. The whole point to this post is to let you guys know how the Dr.s appointment went.

It went fine.

The Dr didn't seem overly concerned. I'm switching medications and she said everything should be fine. She was actually a sucky Dr. and the whole process was unpleasent, but the end results are good.

So no worries!

Trivia Night!

There was this trivia contest at our campus hang out. You competed amongst residence floors. I couldn't go, because I had to study for my test. But then I got my chapters read, and then I went! It was fun. Not Reach for the Top fun, but fun. Our floor won! We now have $50 in gift certificate money to the local video store! Yay us!

I'm glad I went, I actually helped. I knew who the current Cheif Justice is. And I knew who the youngest daughter on Family Matters was. except I said it really loud so every other team probably got it too, so the answer doesn't really count.

Ok I need to shower and go to bed. So I can study lots tomorrow.

Drained

I finished my paper and got it handed in on time! Yay me! Now I have to study for my Soc test on Wednesday at 6. I have to study extra hard today because I don't have much time tomorrow because I have a Dr.s appointment at 12:20.

Why a Dr's appointment you ask? Becaues I believe I'm having one hell of a reaction to the medication I am currently on. (MIKE STOP READING! GO ON TO THE NEXT PARAGRAPH!) I am throwing up a lot lately. I think I'm over 7 times this month. This morning's was especially unpleasent because I didn't make it to breakfast before I threw up. So instead of throwing up solid foods I threw up... blood! Yay! I'm sure you all wanted to know that! Anyway on to more fun topics...

OK so I don't really have anything else to talk about, I mean it's only 10:30 so I haven't really accomplished anything yet. So I will start studying.... now!

Back from fun.

My paper is almost done. I'm waiting for my second round of edits to be finished (Heather edited, now the girl next door is looking at it) I feel like I should be doing more on it. I don't know if I answered the question right. I think I did... but did I answer it enough? It's my last paper of the year. I hope it's good enough.

I had a wonderful weekend. I went for dinner with my parents on Thursday night. Delicious Pizza at a fancy Italian restaurant. Then potato chips and ER with my Mom in our hotel room. My dad read a book, but also ate the potato chips. I had a queen size bed all to my self!

We then went for a walk at a forest park thingy. I fed chickadees out of the palm of my head. They're feet tickled my hands when they landed. It was all very calming and soothing. Except for the part where we walked by a pond full of Trumpeter Swans and Canada geese. Because Geese can be vicious.

I then worked on Saturday and Sunday. That's right, Easter Sunday I was at work. The place was packed on Saturday, while on Sunday tumble weeds were our only customers. That's not true, I did have one hilarious customer on Sunday. A man came running up to and said; "Has anyone turned in a pair of sunglasses?? I lost mine!!" I looked at him, pointed at his shirt (where sunglasses were clipped on his collar), and said; "You mean those sunglasses?" He looked at them and said; "It's been a long day.... thank you for your help." and then he left. I figure Sunday was worth it just for that moment.

So anyway, good few days. Things to look forward to this week:
- Wednesday night when all my assignments are done.
- A Saturday Jazz bar trip with Angus.
- Watching the "Desperate Housewives" episode I have taped once all my assignments are done.

Yay end of year!

Gone for a Couple of Days

Today I leave at 6 from school. My family is picking me up and then we're going away for Thursday and Friday. I have to work early Saturday morning so I'll either be coming late Friday night or early Saturday morning. Then I have this Crim paper to work on on Saturday night and on Sunday night. And then all day Monday because it is due at 6 on Monday. Is anyone available to edit my stupid project on Monday? Please?

I guess I won't be posting for awhile, probably not till Monday night at the earliest. Except Monday night I have to start reading for my Soc test on Wednesday. But my Soc test is my last thing before exams! Yay!

I just read through Shashi's movie ticket post. That was incredibly moving. It made me wish that I kept all the movie tickets I've ever had. I have most of the stuff from me and Rene. It used to be scattered all over my room; in picture frames and on my bulletin board, on my nightstand, everywhere. Then when we broke up my friend cleaned up my room and put it all in a bag. It sits in a closet right now. It's funny, I can tell myself that this will all stop, but it doesn't feel like it will. And I know that one day I will meet someone else, but right now it doesn't feel that way. I'm not sure when this hurt will end, at the moment I can't really see an end to it. But I guess it's not like that is it? It's not like one day something just clicks over and you're done hurting. I think it's more like one day, mid afternoon, you find something that reminds you of it, and you realize that it doesn't hurt anymore, that there's just been so much time that it just doesn't matter anymore. I want that moment that Janet had when she went through that stuff that Godfrey gave her, when he dropped off that package. She just seemed completly divorced from it all, like it no longer impacted her. It's interesting, this feeling of hurt has taken on so many different forms. I know it's decreased in intensity which is good. But it's also mutated and shifted and I don't know, it's just been an interesting experience. Gah this is overly dramatic and self revealing now isn't it? I'll probably take this post down later.

Oh I just called work, apparently I have to smell one of the cashiers on Saturday to see if she smells like beer or other intoxicating substances (for those of you who know me really well, you know that I wrote that sentence that way because I don't know how to spell the word alchoal). This should be interesting.

Rather good day

So I had a very interesting day. Well at least to me it was interesting. I woke up sad, but don't worry my mood improved throughout the day.

I napped in the afternoon, but also got a lot of work done. We had a guest speaker in criminology, that was fun because he was actually interesting. Although whenever he thought he was losing his audience he would raise his voice to yelling point, which became slightly unnerving.

I also took a risk today in Criminology, it's a long (uninteresting) story but basically my friend and I have been in a fight for the past little. I think I made the first move to forgiveness today (not sure actually), and I dunno things seemed to shift more back to normal. Except I've thought this fight was over before, and then it wasn't. Anyway, today I feel good because I took a risk that required courage (etc.) and it did not come back to bite me in the ass.

I also got a lot of studying done after class, which made me feel oh so productive. I also messed around on facebook for a long period of time. I was hoping to discover some long lost friend, but did not, basically I just added people whom (Shashi is 'whom' the right word to use there?) I see on a daily basis.

Most important event of today: Today was my Mom's first day back at work! I called her, she said she had a good time. Yay Mom!!!

Good night all

Very Good Weekend

I recovered nicely from my weird feeling on Saturday, I did so with the aide of Angus. He was at the mall and I ended up joining him. It was a wonderful time. I heart Angus.

I bought new running shoes, and AA batteries. And pajamas! For 12.98. OK I will admit that I was duped by the .98, I actually rounded down to twelve instead of up to thirteen. But that's ok, the pajamas are great; pink tanktop and stripy pants. I love my new pjs. And shoes, and hey the batteries too, so they don't feel left out.

At the floor pub I did not drink! Yay me! It was mostly just the people from our floor but a couple strangers showed up and we all had a good time. There was still green beer left over from St. Patricks day and people were drinking that, and there was Irish music playing so there was a lot of crazy dancing. At about 1:30 some of us left and got cheesecake at this place called Futures. Well I didn't buy a slice, because I'm working on saving money now, but other people did and they shared with me. Nothing is more delicious at 1:30 in the morning than cheesecake. Except maybe Smartfood popcorn. I love that stuff.

Then today (Sunday) I went to the library. I also love the library! I got to spend so long studying for my mythology test.

Then I came back to my room and moved EVERYTHING. For those of you who have ever moved all your stuff around, you know the feeling I am currently experiencing. It feels like anything is possible! A whole new lease on life. I gained a lot of space too, my room actually has an echo now. My only fear is that since I moved my bed to a different wall, I might get out of bed into the wall. And now I can lean on the wall and read. Oh so many possibilities!

That's life right now, I think I'll work on my Crim Paper. Oh sentencing for violent offenders.

Broken and Weird

I feel odd today. All weird and useless. I just don't want to do anything, like at all. I don't even want to lie around and do nothing. I tried reading the paper and that wasn't fun. I tried watching crap on TLC and that was unenjoyable. I was supposed to go to the mall today... but then I didn't feel like doing that either. This feeling is entirely frustrating because I cannot articulate what exactly it is that I want. I am currently eating an apple in the hopes that that will fix me. Oh and drinking water, because I figure I'm very dehydrated from my night of drinking with Angus last night.

Seeing Angus was fun, I had a good time and I got out of residence. Except the Ceasar salad I had sucked.

I also saw Peter yesterday. That's always fun. We were talking with his friend Fish, who loves yo-yos. And Fish was showing me how to yo-yo, then him and Peter decided that what's better than yo-yoing at the engineering bar? yo-yoing on the roof. So we end up on the roof of this building just playing with yo-yo's. I spent most of my time trying to rewind my yo-yo. Then there was some fooze ball playing (inside, not on the roof).

Tonight is our floor pub, I don't think I'll get drunk again, but who knows. I don't really feel like adding alchoal to this unusual feeling.

Facebook and Hi5

I joined facebook yesterday. For the uninitiated it's this online friend thing, where you just link to people you know, and then marvel at all the friends you have. I guess it can also be used to reconnect with people who you knew from high school but now no longer talk to. Hi5 is the same thing, except I have more people on Hi5 (like 5 versus the three on facebook). Shashi is one of my friends on Facebook, actually she was the whole reason I joined. I joined this RHHS group on Hi5. Then it was filled with all these gr.9s and 10s... so I felt stupid for joining. But I'm too lazy to unjoin.

Today my Crim Law class was filmed by TVO. I don't know why. I wouldn't even call it filming. There was no panning the room, or intense zoom ins, there was just a lady who set up a camera on a tripod, and then read a book through class. The book reading bothered me, because that class is amazing and people should feel lucky just to be in the room. For example today we learned about this guy who was being arressted for robbery, upon arrest he invoked his right to a lawyer, the cops said "Sure. We're just going to ask a couple simple questions."
This was what occurred:
Cops: "What is your name?"
Andrew: "Andrew Alsop"
Cops: "Where do you live?"
Andrew: "56 Sheerborne Lane"
Cops: "Is this the knife you used for the burglary?"
Andrew: "No I used a gun.... crap"

See? How could you read a book through such a hilarious story. Don't worry though Andrew's confession was inadmissable in court because the cops shouldn't have questioned him after he asked for his lawyer. I love the law.

Another test post

This post is really so I can see if I got the right time zone set.

But I guess I have to give you something. You know, keep the people interested.

I'm hungry. Really hungry. And dinner tonight sucks. But I'm going out Thursday, Friday and Saturday so I can't afford to just buy myself a pizza. Oh and Saturday I'm doing a big mall trip for myself, and that's going to be a lot of money too.

Looking forward to the mall trip. I get to go all by myself and leave behid the noise and tension of residence. Don't get me wrong, residence life is wonderful, it's just that right now everyone is stressed out. And we've all lived and played and worked together for the whole year, so we're all kind of tired of each other. It's just a little tense.

That's it I guess. Let's hope the time stamp is right.

My First Entry!

So Ok. This is very experimental here. I don't really know how to do this, so please just be patient.

I can't promise I will keep this blog, or that I will post often. But I figure this could be fun.

OK I will later post stories of my hilarious adventures and ponderings on life. But right now I want to look around and fiddle with all the settings on this blog.
