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:

1. The limo we took to prom with it's pretty lights.
2. The place we had our prom.
3. The place we ate.
4. 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!

A Breath of Fresh Air

So it's been a while since I last posted but you all knew that I had my IB exams and so a girls got to focus. Well the good news is it's all over and done with! woot! No more IB no more school (for now)! Speaking of school.. I have officially decided to go to Ryerson University. Why you may ask? Well my offer from UofT was not what I had expected... They sent me to a program all the way over in Scarborough (it took me 1 and 1/2 hours to get up there) for a program that I didn't even really want (psychology). They also gave me another offer on the other side of town in Missisauga for Studies in Chemical and Physical Sciences.... well that wasn't going to float my boat and so I chose to go to Ryerson, the one school which actually gave me what I wanted (Medical Physics). York ended up giving me some program called Health Management... So that was also a "No".
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!!!

Oh My Gosh! So it's May 1st. MAY FIRST!!!! I'm going to die. The IB exams are next week. I have exactly 5 days to learn everything I need for the history exam because you can't study for an english commentary! In the mean time I also have to manage to learn and or know everything else from every other subject I am taking. Also my house is being over-run by ants and so I have to sleep on my stinkin' loft bed which I do like but am not use to because I've been sleeping on the floor for the past 3 years or so.
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.

My love of electronics!!!

Yay laptop! Okay so the initial plan to write out my post is being scraped because it takes to much effort right now. Anyways so yup I have a brand new laptop. It's a tablet which basically means I can write on the screen. It's a lot of fun. I'm hoping I will be able to put it to good use next year when I go to univeristy. Well that's pretty much going to be my entire post because I dun wanna waste anymore of the battery on my laptop. Hope life is cruising for all you out there in cyber land because here in my world I need to get back to studying for my exams which are in exactly 7 days! SEVEN DAYS!!! AHHHHh it's a sign... if anyone has read Song of Solomon.... anywho til next time my avid readers!

Pointless Time Wasting

It's funny... well not that funny... how my parents just don't seem to understand how pointless it is for me to go to class these few weeks before the major exams. There are the few classes where I still believe attending will benefit me and so I go, but then there are those that honestly don't serve a purpose any more. For example, tomorrow (technically today) I have an English class last period, but my teacher is serving jury duty and the supply teacher told us last class that all we'll be doing is reading in class. It's going to be a READING PERIOD!!! ugh! During that duration of time I could be studying for other, more useful things such as the math exam that I may flunk, or the history exam that there's way too much information to study for. I really don't comprehend how they find it so important that I attend a class where I'm going to sit and do nothing. I've finally convinced her that I shouldn't be going to that class and so she is going to let me come home, but she was like if when I come home at 2 and you're not there then I'll hit you. I was like fine! Honestly there is nothing else I'm going to do. She has this notion that I don't want to be in school anymore and that I'm just skipping school and going off and partying or something. Honestly mother, I have only 4 weeks left of school... two of which are filled with exams. Why would I wait until there was only 4 weeks left to quit? This close to the end of my high school year? It's just not logical! Anywho I'm going to go back to my studying now.

Oh I forgot to mention I now have 2 dresses for prom! yay! Now all I have to do is save up the money to go... =S that might be troublesome. Anywho later bloggers!

Time is Still Ticking..

So not much to say lately... Today the guys had their playoffs (?) for badminton, and hopefully they did well.

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.
