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!

The Job Hunt
So with Canada's booming economy and the exportation of jobs to third world countries because they have a cheaper labour market, this year's job hunt has become extremely difficult. Today my friends and I went downtown to the CNE in hopes to find a job. Today was their job fair and although that sounds like it would have been located in a major hall with posters explaining job positions and such, we sadly came to realize that it was nothing of the sort. In fact the "job fair" (if one can call it such) was located in a dingy room thing where the line up twisted and turned and stretched far outside the actual building itself. Ugh it was insane. I think my friends and I waited around one and a half hours to FINALLY get to the desk and that only gets me an group interview and my resume handed in. Honestly that kind of blows.
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
So here are the photos I promised of prom. Yes I realize that there are no one's actual face is showing but that's for confidentiality and privacy reasons.
The pictures go as follows:
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
So I'm currently talking to my friend right now who is wandering aimlessly outside trying to get home. She's being so silly, something about rubber boots for splashing but right now she is splashing in the puddles with her leather shoes.... Genius I know!
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!
