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!

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.
