My attempt to stay awake.
Gosh I really want to go back to the times when things were much simpler. Life in high school was deffinitely better.
Wow, my prof is really slow through the slides. He JUST got to the second point on his slide. I still have to suffer through this for another hour! Alright I'm going to find something else to entertain me. Later peeps! lol

LEGAL AT LAST!!!
I'm happy to say though that I've accomplished a few goals I set for myself before and when I turned 18. Firstly I donated blood before I turned 18 and I'm quite proud of that. Secondly I have now bought a scratch card by myself because I'm of age.
But that is all I shall post for now because I have a big day up ahead for me at my university! woot! G'nite all!

Got the Other Job as Well!
Well if you didn't already know I applied to the evil corporation that is Mc Donald's. This I have to say might be my worst idea yet. I have officially finished my first week of training. It was 5 days of torture. At least my shifts didn't start too early. I work in the back/ kitchen area making the heart-attack burgers that you've all come to love. Yes, sometimes I'm ashamed that I'm adding to the obesity of the country for a few measly bucks but hey! a girls got to make money somehow!
Any who oh god was it a pain or what! I got trained by this old lady who would complain about everything! She complained about the manager saying she complained too much, which she did. Being the quick learner that I am I learned how to make all the burgers within the first day, or at least all the frequently ordered ones. The second day the old witch put me on the grill. Now if you have ever worked at a Mc Dee's you'd know what I'm talking about. It was this clunky machine with two presses. You'd place the meat on the flat HOT surface and then press the two buttons for the press to come down. I wasn't very good at this because well IT WAS MY FIRST TIME! Gah the old bat kept me on grill the entire day. The thing that I hate the most is that she knew I couldn't do it and so she kept making me do it. Okay so maybe it was something along the lines of tough love but still. Ugh soooo annoying! When the press comes up the meat has been cooked and so all the grease that was in the pattie is splattering everywhere and you have to season the meat by sticking you hand right above the patties, careful not to touch the press that is looming right above at an angle and "hammer shot" the seasoning on.
Oh the other thing that bothers me is the old bat won't ever clean the damn grill anymore! Oyy, she always makes me do it and then complains that I didn't do it well enough. Thank gosh I'm not working with her next week. but I probably will be at the end of August when I start at the CNE. BLAH!!!
Anywho's that enough Mc Dee's rant for today. Catch you all soon!

I Got The Job!
I've also applied to Mc. Donald's and I have no clue what is happening with that because one person is saying that I'm going to be hired and the other says that I've ALREADY been hired. Sooooo confusing. Anyways hopefully it works out. If not then the Ex if good enough for me. =)

Turmoils of the Heart
Alright then, well since you've continued to read on I'm going to believe that you are at least slightly interested in my predicament. Well today I had to tell one of the guys that liked me (we`ll call him guy 1) that I didn't feel the same way. This issue came about when my friend S decided that it would be a brilliant plan for me to bring him to the baseball game last Thursday. Well, what I'd like to add is that I've turned this guy down oh so many times before and had managed to escape when S decides to re-open this already shut door. Oyy anyways that was horrible to do because I feel bad. I'm not the kind of person who likes to ACTUALLY hurt people, especially their feelings. *sigh* I left his work with a guilty conscience. BTW yeah we had planned to hang out during his lunch break because A. I have super strict parents who don`t let me go out at night, especially with boys, and B. this gave me a specific time frame to work with so I could escape (I know I sound so mean! ugh!).
So now here is part two. Guy 2, well I like guy 2, a significant amount. The only issue is that he does stuff that I`m not supportive of. Well I don`t like smoking but I can`t really use that as a point of comparison because guy 1 and 2 both smoke. Guy 2 though also does weed often. These past 2 days when that he`s been talking to me he hasn`t lit up but still it`s something that he`s going to end up doing again. But see Guy 2 makes me really happy. He makes me feel good about myself and I`m just generally a more happy person. Guy 1 on the other hand doesn`t make me happy but is more sullen and mature. The one thing that guy 1 did that made me turn him down is the fact that he doesn`t understand how my family works. Like I`ve previously mentioned I`m an only child and so my parents are very protective of me, not to mention I`m a female.
Oh well I`m falling for guy 2 and hopefully things go well. I really miss my girl S she`s gone for 6 weeks and yeah I miss talking to her about these problems. I hope she gets back soon. Anywho that`s it for me. Night night bloggers!

The Job Hunt
Now don't get me wrong, it's not like the CNE is the only place that I've applied to that has given me this impression. I've applied to pretty much all the stored in the major mall close to my house and well no one has called me back yet. I've also applied to a Mc Donald's, a factory line... pretty much anywhere I could have I've applied and yet not one phone call back for an interview. It can get quite frustrating sometimes. And I'm not alone in this issue my guy friend D is having the same problems as well.
So to end off my blog today I will quote my ingeneous friend S... *said in high pitch, enthusiastic child voice* "Snakes are people too!"

A Time for Change... in the Sanctuary
The pictures go as follows:
- The limo we took to prom with it's pretty lights.
- The place we had our prom.
- The place we ate.
- The prom king and queen's dance
In other news, the photoshop class I ended up taking was pointless because it was for old people who take way to long to learn a concept. Thus the "teacher", if one can even call him that (no offence intended), said that he refuses to teach me because it would just be a waste of my time and money. Saturday's are free again!
This weekend my father and I have begun the incredible task of re-doing my room like I wanted to a while ago. I've planned this entire thing for about 3 + months now. I've drawn the sketches and designed my new bed and everything! I say re-doing instead of renovating or redecorating because I'm not going to be breaking down any wallls, but it's not as simple as just moving a couple of things around either. We are pretty much building my bed from scratch. We will be changing the entire layout of the room. And a lot of things are being thrown out. I'm currently very sore from all the work I've done. I've had to sand 9 pieces of wood (various lengths) and then paint them. Ugh painful.
Speaking of painful. I've been following the UEFA 2008 Euro cup very closely and today's game hurt me to watch. OMG how did the Netherlands lose to Russia. Obviously they were drugged or something! Comon this is the team that beat the two final teams of the World cup by 3 points each! Oyy, well at least I know that my friend "I" will be celebrating his teams win and will be telling people about how awesome Russia is. Tomorrow's game should be interesting, Italy versus Spain.
Anywho tune in next time for more of my rantings. Toodles for now!

Recap of The Events
There was a horrible thunderstorm outside about an hour ago, thunder and lightning and lights flickering. It was like something out of a horrible weather movie. It's been like that for a couple of nights now. I don't really know what to say other than ugh it sucks.
Well prom is now officially over and done with. I am quite happy with it. It wasn't as amazing as movies and stories have made it out to be but it was still quite fun. I will post some photos up of the event some other day. Oh yeah, I eventually decided to go in the green dress.
Since prom is now done with I have also cut my hair to donate it to cancer. I kind of feel weird with my short hair. I think I look better with long hair so this will be one of the only times I'll have short hair again. Well at least until I'm really old and don't care and have kids and are married. Lol, But that's still some time away.
Lately I've been wanting to get a dog. A schnauzer to be exact (the ones that look like old men). I have mostly everything thought out, the name will be Scruffy, I want it to be a boy but a girl seems like a better choice as long as she is spayed/nutered. I want it to be slightly older than a puppy so around 12 weeks old so that all the training and necessary shots will have been dealt with. BUT the only thing stopping me is that my parents are absolutely against the idea of getting any pets that are not fish. It's because of the experience with dogs and cats when they were back in Vietnam, but still it's completely different. Also they don't want to have to deal with all the fur shedding and the walks and etc. that goes along with getting a pet.
I will get myself a doggie when I move out. I just don't know when that will be. It could take a while... 2-3 years if I'm lucky, 5-7 if I'm not.
Well I need to get some rest because I'm attending a photoshop class tomorrow with my mother. Hehehe I will be able to manipulate photos. This should be entertaining.
G'nite fellow bloggers!

A Breath of Fresh Air
The rest of my pals (who are currently on vacation in Cuba without me, I know!) well they're all going to different universities. That's kind of depressing me because these are people that I have come to know really well over the course of my high school life! Seriously we did pretty much everything together, they were there for me through all my hardships and now we're all heading off on our separate paths, which who knows when they'll cross again! S is going to York for the Schulich program (not too far but she's moving houses so it'll be difficult to see each other), P is going to McMaster for environmental sciences, D is going to U of Ottawa for Biology, and T is going to Waterloo for an engineering program. I kind of wish I could move out of the house next year like they all are but I can't afford to. I need to find a job and start making some money!
Which brings me to my job search... God is it ever hard to find a job! Well I have mass distributed my resume throughout the mall and I hope that someone, ANYONE will call me back and offer me a job. Yeah it's most likely due to the fact that I don't have prior experience in the retail business but if I don't ever get a job how will I gain said experience? Meanwhile everything is going up in cost. Apparently gas prices have hit an all time high at 128.5 a Lt. That just sucks! Luckily I don't drive yet.
That also means I have to rely on my parents to drive me places, like to pick up my prom dresses on Saturday. Yup they finally arrived last week on Thursday and I went for my fitting on Saturday. They will be ready this Saturday for me to pick up! When the girls get back from Cuba I will finally have a dress to show them for prom (which is exactly one week from today!). Super excited for it. From what I can tell we're having ours really late. Everyone else I know has had their prom already or will be having it this week some time. Doesn't matter though. It will still be awesome.
Well just one more thing to say before I leave. Today is D's birthday and he is turning eighteen. Yup we're all getting old. Anywho this tid bit is for you, so when you finally find out my blog you will discover that I in fact did mention your birthday! Feel special... because I swear it won't last too long. Yeah I do abuse him a little much... Hope you like the present I'm MAKING, that's right I'm making it... ugh so much effort, so much caring... can't breathe!

They're Getting Closer!!!
GAH the stress is getting to me. I have no idea how I'm going to handle this. No idea whatsoever. Although I think the best thing for me to do currently is to go to bed. I most likely won't. I'll prolly turn on my laptop and play with it for a while since it has been almost a day and a half since I've played with it.
I know! How do I manage to keep my hands away? Don't ask me I haven't an idea myself. Anyways I'll blog more later. Right now, my laptop is calling out to me. Blog you soon my fellow people in blogger land.

Time is Still Ticking..
I'm getting really sick right now. I don't know what I've caught but my throat is sore and scratchy, my nose is slightly clogged, and I've been sneezing a lot. Maybe allergies? Hopefully.
Today in my last period english class (I have two english classes) we (my classmates and I) played a trick on our teacher. We turned his desk around so that the side that he was suppose to sit at was facing the opposite direction. We then rearranged the items on his desk and waited to see how long it took for him to notice. It indeed took a while even though we were all laughing when he walked back into the room and we waited for him to figure it out before continuing.
Lately I've been having this urge to go shopping. I feel that my wardrobe isn't really complete. I still need a couple more essential items, I guess? I still want to purchase a nice spring jacket, a wide belt that I can wear with dresses and or long shirts, some jackets or blazers, and a few more basic shirts of varying colour. It would also be nice if I could buy my prom dress. That right now is the deciding factor of whether or not I go to prom.
Well I must get back to work. Hopefully all is well when this hectic school thing ends.

It's Going to be a Long Night
So tonight I must fight the daunting thing called sleep so that I may complete my math portfolio for tomorrow. I have completed my CAS portfolio though, a grand total of 354.75 hours! Such a relief to have that off my back now.
I seem to lately have this yearnng to go shopping. I really want to go the thrift store and splurge on some pretty items. Yes, I did say thrift store because I think that having to scrounge through racks and racks of clothing to find that perfect item is quite fun. It makes the item worth that much more in the end when you find it and are like "Hmm, I wonder why the person threw such a great piece away!" Yeah, maybe I'm crazy, or maybe I can see past that whole stereotype that everything at a thrift store is a rag. Someday people will realize how interesting and fun it is. I still have a couple of friend who think that thrift stores are gross and that they can't even begin to imagine touching, let alone wearing, the items on the rack. Oh but do you want to know what the best part about the thrift store is? NO TAX! =D You buy it at exactly the price that it says, no more, but sometimes even less.
Lately I've been trying to find pretty belts that I can wear around my waist to excentuate it, as well as pretty tops in bright colours. I'm also looking for a couple of great layering jackets with cute detailing on them. Yeah, lately I've been watching What Not to Wear and well it's slowly getting to me. Maybe I'll dress really badly for a while so that someone would nominate me so I can get $5000 to spend for a new wardrobe.
Anywho I must say good night now because that ugly math portfolio awaits. I'll be back soon with yet another rant about my life. Til then I salute you all!

Shortest Post Ever?
I got myself yet another one of those stinking prom magazines. Yes, I'm still obsessing over finding that perfect dress after I lost my last one. It is quite depressing. I'm thinking of just going really simple but mommy keeps shooting down everything I point out. Bummer.
Tomorrow there is school, and lucky me the day after that both my CAS hours and my math portfolio will be due. Tons of fun isn't it?
Oh my friendD said that he wants to write a song with me! I'm excited. This should be fun. He's going to do the guitar/ song portion while I do the lyrical (?) portion.
Well I guess this is it for me tonight. G'nite gallaxy of stars!

Television Over-load
Following this shock of a show, and because I was too lazy to change the channel, I ended up watching this show called I Can Make You Thin with Paul McKenna, or something along those lines. Anywho the episode was about emotional eating, which I guess everyone suffers from. I found myself completely understanding what he was saying. And the amazing part was that this whole night I actually didn't snack on anything. I just drank water! It was shocking to me how his words rang true within me! He suggests that if one wants to lose weight that we take the time to savour our food instead of just gorging it down. This gives our body the time to process everything, as well as allows us to decide whether or not we feel full. He claims that what he is promoting is not a diet because you can eat whatever you like, just listen to how you're feeling and then follow those instincts.
And the last show, well not the last but almost last, that I watched and found quite interesting tonight was one on how Hollywood (on 20/20) has made situations such as rehab and drugs and drinking and made them into a game or a show. It is quite depressing looking at celebrities who are just one or two ages older than I am and seeing them get into car accidents, drinking and then puking their guts out, or dying from overdoses. Although abusing substances is not the only thing they do. Many celebrities end up exposing themselves which in turn lowers their value as a human. Also the show mentioned that many celebrities don't get the proper treatment that they need because the people around them, their "support system", rely on them to make money and so they can't afford to have the celebrities stay in the rehabs or else they may not have a career when they come back out.
All this got me thinking. You know back to that first show I watched with the 23 year old... well yeah NOW it makes sense why she dresses like a slut and such. Our perception of the media is so hidden behind tinted glasses that we don't stop to ask whether or not any of this, any of the things we are being shown is realistic or even healthy to our bodies. It seems that nowadays this idea of being rebellious and mistreating our bodies is a good thing. I'm quite saddened to see that this is my generation. These are the people I have to look up to. No I'm not saying that those are the only people out there, but they are the ones who usually end up getting front page news coverage, not so much the people out their dressed all proper and ate dinner with families and friends. Guess I'm a bit cynical about this right now but it is quite late. So I bid my farewell for tonight/ this morning, and I'll see you all on greener pastures!

To Sum Things Up
Anywho so the party yesterday was fun. Very cute waiters there. We dared one of our friends (lets call her P) to give a note to the really cute waiter with her phone number on it sealed with a kiss. It was very amusing, but she ended up not doing it. Kinda disappointed about that. P was like "No, I'm too shy." when clearly it wasn't meant to be anything. It would have been very amusing if she gave it to that cute waiter and he actually ended up calling her! Ahahaha yeah...
Woot in about 15 minutes or so I will be going to Fairview Mall to get my prom dress. So excited! I'm currently debating whether or not I should bring my beautiful gold shoes to try on with the dress or not. I wouldn't want them to get ruined or anything and it'll probably just end up being extra baggage that I'll have to drag home all the way from Fairview (which is pretty far from where I live). I don't have too much to say today. Oh there's school tomorrow ugh! Anywho I'm going to go grab a bite to eat before my friend gets here and we head off. Maybe I'll write a post later, or maybe I'll write one tomorrow. Til then I bid you adieu!

Perfecto!
Mother also bought me a perfect pair of boots! It's one of those boots that are a must to every female's wardrobe. It is gorgeous and I love it. I've only recently discovered this whole infatuation with shoes thing that all females apparently have. I've spent so much money on shoes lately. I bought the sexiest most perfect gold open-toe pumps the other day to wear to prom which cost me about 80 dollars. Then I went to the trift store (Goodwill to be exact, and no I'm not ashamed, it's part of the whole going green thing) and got me a pair of knee high boots (pleather?) for just a mere 10 dollars! And finally yesterday the boots that Mom bought were 40 dollars and are ankle boots (suede)! Both boots are black in case you were wondering, but yes I love each and every one of the shoes.
Tonight I wil be going to a dinner party for my friend's birthday and will be able to use my brand new ankle boots. Woot! Oh the friend that came with me to the mall to find my perfect prom dress also came with me and my family to dinner at the Korean BBQ. Oh my was the wait long. Really fun as usual but still, the person seating us said that the wait would be 20 minutes, and he was, sadly, right... ugh I hate it when they're right!
these are not my shoes but similar. (My heel is so much sexier =P)

Universities of Doom
Later today I plan to exert no effort whatsoever wrapping the presents that me and my friends got for my other friend's birthday. It should be quite entertaining... which reminds me... I stil don't know where we're going =S
