Okay so it was the day I finally turned into an adult in the eyes of this country. I'm officially legal now. EIGHTEEN! Eighteen years of breathing and watching the sun rise and moon rise. Eighteen years of doing who the hell knows what and now that I've been 18 for a day, all I can say is I'm pooped. Well that also may be because I'm still up at 1:30 in the morning.
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!
Okay well I knew I got the other job for over a week. This post is just a holy-cow-I-managed-to-survive kind of post.
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!
Okay people's this is going to be a short one. So I applied to the CNE for the position of ticket seller and I got it! woot! The only things left for me to do is get a criminal background check, because apparently Ontario has the highest amount of identity theft. Eeek! Anywho and after the background check I have to attend orientation. That's about it.
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
Okay so it's been a while since I've dated anyone, 8 months to be exact and so now all of the sudden I have news that a bunch of guys like me. I know, I know big whoop. To all those who aren't into rants about love and feelings well then this is my WARNING to you to stop reading. I mean it STOP NOW before it's too late.
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!
