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.

It's Going to be a Long Night

Well this blog goes out to Kaleidoughscope, I guess... Today during badminton Kaleidoughscope approached me and we started conversing. He mentioned that I would write this on my blog some time tonight wouldn't I? and so I responded with a "yes" and so here it is. I also promised I would write "I hate Kaleidoughscope". Hehehe
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?

BLAH!!!! Toronto Raptors lost today. Greatly dissapointed although we did come back from 20 point. behind to just 8-10 points behind. I must admit the New Orleans Hornets are really good. Mo Pete came back to home court finally. Aw I miss that guy. Such a great player... Can't understand why we traded him off. Hehehe yeah he misses us as much as we miss him. Can't blame him =P. I'm thinking I'm going to go buy myself a Raptors jersey as support.
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

So it was a Friday today and so instead of doing any more work than I had to already I decided to indulged in some television. You know that box that flashes pictures really quickly with sound... the thing that I haven't really come into contact with since IB has taken my soul. Well lets just say that I indulged a little too much. Yeah I honestly just got off the television now and it's not even Friday anymore. Hehehe I managed to enjoy myself watching the following shows which have really inspired me and caused me to think. The first was What Not To Wear on TLC. I know! Such a funny show! I wish I could get $5000 to spend on clothing. But yes the transformation was impeccable. I was very happy with the results and kinda understood to the feeling that the girl was going through. She was 23 years old and engaged but dressed very trashy. She was an exotic dancer at one point in her life and kept most of the clothing. The most memorable thing about this episode was that the girl had this tail that she wore with everything! it was a tail with a tiny bell connected to the clip and she would wear it on her jeans, on her skirt, literally everything! I was bedazzled. But turns out she was a gorgeous girl underneath it all with a very childish attitude and brilliant sense of personality.

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!

It's That Time Again

It is that time again, the time to dig a grave and bury myself within it. Today we recieved our wonderful MATH PORTFOLIO!!! Woot what fun huh? Well actually I'm doomed to failure seing as I don't actually understand what the heck I'm doing! Ugh! Please kill me!

Anywho watched badminton games at my school today. The boys doubles A team didn't get to play which kinds of sucks because they're probably one of the better peoples on the team. We were so close to getting a perfect score today! ugh! We did lose one game though so... one point away?

So I watched the Raptors game today! Woot finally we won! 89-81 against Detroit. It was spectacular. I know hard to believe that a girl like me likes basketball but I do I really do. Anywho my favourite player would have to be Caulderon! He gave up his place in the starting line-up for the benefit of the team! Oh what a sweetheart!

Also I've in the past week or so I have watched the movie "Because I Said So" about a billion times. It's not that great a movie but for some reason I get this incredible yearning to watch it. Very strange. Well I don't have much else to say tonight... or this morning so I'm going to bed.

Adios Amigos!
