Finals have officially started.
I keep singing "Final Countdown" by Europe at the top of my lungs when our final exams or next projects are given to us. It a) appears to annoy me classmates... yet some of them have started singing it, too, and b) gives the energy needed to get through the next 4 weeks.
So fucking pump up the 80's music, eat healthy food, drink plenty of water, and get your fucking study on bitches... cause its final seasooonnnnnnn
The final final season.
:)
I'm 4 weeks away from graduating!!!!!

1:57 am - ahem!

in less than 12 hours, I'll have my presentations done... woohoo for 5 hours of sleep.
i got fucked over by the student cards tonight... made me get off my high from the tips I've been making lately, and reminded me to not bank on my tips.... fucking students, go fuck yourselves and your insufficient meal plan funds. you're all dirty pirates.
except my friends. you're all dirty pirate hookers. there's a difference. the difference is called respect.
AND
if you can afford to go out for dinner, you should be able to afford a tip... budget it in, fuckers...
-end rant-
ahhh... at this time tomorrow... I'll be done school except for 3 tests.
when do I want to go to Calgary this summer? when the plane fare is cheap or when it's unbearably hot here and it's super dead at work? should I bring Peaches?
in other words, should I go in June or the end of July? I'm thinking July...

So today at school, I found out that me, Steph, Sheila and Zunaira are going to a huge advertising conference in Toronto next Tuesday... all the big wigs from Canada's top advertising agencies will be there... that's so exciting! I get to rub elbows and eat sammiches with retardly successful people. I don't know what to expect, I'm bringing resumes and business cards... just in case I knock someones socks off. It's exciting... it's expensive, tickets were $500 but the school's paying for most of it, I only have to pay $48. Sweeeeeet!
AND... I got a bursary!! 500 bones. Yahoo!!! Who doesn't like free money?
Both of my assignments for tomorrow are well on their ways to being done... I'm just waiting for Zunaira to email me the %'s for our questionnaire, then I'm going to fire the results into the excel dealie I have set up for it, and I have to write 2 parts for the report and the conclusion. First I need the results... so in the meantime, I'm going to finish my art history assignment and if I don't have it by the time I'm done that, I'm napping. I love napping.
Today was the last day of my 8 am Tuesday classes... from now on, it's at 12 on Wednesdays, which means I don't have a break on Wednesdays, but whatever... there's only 3 classes left. Holy cow, where did the time go?!
I got a lot of exciting news today!!
I'm on cloud 9!!
Next Tuesday, I'm going to dress professionally and just take the day as it comes... I have no idea what to expect, but this is definitely an AMAZING opportunity!!
Everything's coming up Kristen today! Even though I preclose tonight, on all-you-can-eat-fajita night!! Nothing can get me down... knock on wood...
... AND THE SUN IS SHINING!!! WOOOOOOOWEEEEEEEE!!!!
Ok, I must get this (f)art assignment done.
chicka chicka bow wow!!

4:52 pm - Motivation what?
|
This week is very intense. There's so much due by Wednesday it's not even funny. I had a report due today, and my sales final. The final was a joke... it was really simple, which has me afraid I did something wrong. Oh well, it was multiple guess, my favourite! I found out that my presentation isn't next week, it's the week after. Phew!!
I have a layout for tomorrow due... I definitely haven't started it yet. I'm going to soon. Within an hour soon. Then I have to draw 8 pictures with the dove logo in it representing different art movements for my art history class. I started it, but it was brought to my attention I don't know what surrealism is... so I'm starting over tonight, again. I also have a report on a questionnaire I did for my research class on Wednesday, and I just got an email from my teacher saying it should look like "how I'd give it to a client". Thanks, tips. What does that mean? She said it shouldn't be done in word, it should be done in powerpoint. Okay, whatever. I forwarded it to my partner, and she can tell me what to do.
Why am I not motivated? I'm making butter chicken and doing laundry... just because I don't want to do this... isn't that terrible!
Why did I procrastinate so bad? Why did I get so drunk on St Pattys Day... twice?
Alright, time to get my arse in gear.
Up, up and away!!!

1:45 am - Reflecting on 20... and now.
|
20 was definitely an eventful year for me. I moved out, got into college, bought a car, moved again, started college, got heartbroken, got let down, got in a car accident, buried my first baby, supported my mom as she got sicker and better, got a new (and better!) car, grew up a lot and discovered a lot about myself.
I must say, I am a strong soul, I'm a good soul, and even though last year was very trying, I'm glad I came out on top, am optimistic and generally happy.
Everything happens for a reason, and I don't think I'd be as okay as I am right now if I didn't have all that shit thrown at me. I know things will get done, I know some stuff isn't the end of the world, and that I am cared for and loved by some really good people.
Who knows what lays ahead of me. I was super stressed about this for the past few weeks, but my mom said to me yesterday "do you really think, 21 years ago today, I'd picture myself living in Guelph, still with your father, disabled and you comepletely on your own?". She's right, I don't know where I'll be in 21 years, but as long as I keep making decisions that are good for me and putting myself first, then I think I'll be good.
In the time being, though, it's school, school, school! It's officially the crunch time of the end of the semester, which means I've almost completed my first year of college! I'm so proud! I'm so stoked! There's something due or a test everyday for the rest of the semester... which is only 4 weeks, which is 16 days for me... that's a little more than 2 weeks. Crazy, eh? Thank goodness it's spread over a month!
My printer is being funny. It only prints coloured stuff, it refuses to print in black, and when I take the cartridge to Island Inkjet, the dude there always says "it's full" and it works for 3 days and stops. Should I buy a new cartridge? It doesn't make sense.
Oh, by the way, I am the #3 Gormet Burger Salesperson for Casey's. All 200 stores. That's all the Casey's in Canada. We didn't even know about the competition till a week ago... I guess I'm a natural? I think I get some green out of this... and it'll look good in an interview.

worst birthday weekend ever.
i feel like shit.

10:21 pm - Sunshine and Lollipops!
|
Drove my G test today. I hit a snow bank doing my 3 point turn, so I assumed I failed and just drove the rest of it. The guy told me at the end that he was sure I'd find my blindspots by the time I was 80 and I passed! Yeah... fully licensed! I wonder if my insurance will go down?
I went to Ikea after with girls from work... I went crazy and only spent $60! I got a funky table that goes on my bed, so I have something for my laptop to go on, to do homework on, etc. I got a tall lamp, it's silver, it's very basic, it's awesome. I got a bamboo shoot and rocks for it, I already had a vase, so it now has a use. I got cute tea candle holders to go around the bamboo shoot. Sorta like a shrine to luck. I got a toy for Tucker, she loves the toys. I also got the only thing I went for... a tree that holds necklaces... it's pretty sweet. My room is almost finished. I love it. It's bright but not juvenile, it's funky but calm. I love it. I also did it for under $150. Woohoo!!
Back to school tomorrow. There are only like 5 weeks left. Whoa! Everything appears to be spread out nicely.
I'm sleepy... I'm going to write down what I'm doing for my layouts assignment. I have to make a full page ad for a product for a Canadian magazine. I think I'm going to either do Clean and Clear Morning Burst for Elle Girl ( or whatever like mag is Canadian) or a vacuum for Canadian living. I like plan A best. It'll be easier and funner.
I'm really happy right now. I like this feeling!
current mood:  accomplished

11:10 am - Ahhh

I'd just like to throw it out there that I got nothing for school accomplished this reading week... I organized my media assignment and got some ideas written down for my art history assignment, but I haven't actually started either of those.
I worked a lot. I partied with Krista and had a great time. That was my reading week in a nutshell...
Today, I'm a split-close, tomorrow I'm an over, and tomorrow night (or tonight, maybe?) I'll start my media assignment, and Z and I are staying on Thursday to do more work on it. I want to get this bitch out of the way, because I have quite the social week coming up...
Monday I drive my G Test. Thursday is Ad Pub. Saturday is my get-drunk-with-people for my birthday party. Next Monday is my real birthday, and I'm bringing Zee home to meet the family. It was pretty funny, I told her I was going to bring her the Monday to meet them, and she goes "thats so sweet! I'm honoured!" and I said "don't be, you haven't met them yet!". It was hilarious.
I'm off to work now... I'll post more about stuff later.
Mandi, I hope you had fun last night, and sorry I couldn't make it! I tried, but no one texted me back! :(

I've figured some stuff out... I've made a goal. I want to save $2000 by April 27th. That'll be good. That'll be for my cousins wedding in Mexico next November.
Then I'll have to make up my mind for moving to Oakville. And save for that... find a job... or whatever.
I've also decided that after my birthday, I'm going on a month of detox. Just in time for finals. Best decision ever!
I'm really excited for March... the 8th is Ad Pub, and the Beasts and I are getting her done! I'm so pumped... it's 007 style. I have no idea what a Bond girl looks like, but I'm sure I'll figure something out... if worst comes to worst, we'll all go in orange bikini's.. made of electrical tape, on the outside of our jeans. SEXY! Then its my birthday weekend, then it's my birthday (on all you can eat mussels night, coincidence? no!) then it's back to the grind, getting back to a structured schedule. It's crazy how much I miss my Sheila, Steph and Zunaira. I'm already having dreams of Zunaira. Why are we always fighting in my dreams!?
It was Baby Dills birthday today... we did cake and he was surprised.
I'm somewhat ashamed to admit it, but Tasha leant me Confessions of an Heiress, the Paris Hilton book, and it's quite funny... errr... I mean, I'm not enjoying it at all!!!

11:09 am - life?
|
For the first time probably ever... I have no idea where I'm going to end up in life. I know it sounds dramatic, but I'm such a planner, I get anxious if I don't know what I'm doing a week from now, let alone 6 months from now. I'm surprisingly okay with this.
I just want to be happy and healthy and having a good time.
I work everyday this week, which is good. I have some school work and serious drinking to do during reading week... I also want to start going to the gym more regularily and sleeping more.
There. I planned my week... phew!!
Mandi, I'll email you the pictures tonight.

12:50 am - I'm (almost) done!
|
I'm almost done the craziness of school for a week. I think I'm going to use my time wisely... get ahead on assignments and relax and work and finish my room. I have a major art assignment due, an art presentation to do research on, an internet-buy (which is math, which is what I suck balls at) to do, and sales presentation stuff to think of.
I have all the stuff I want to decorate my room (and have had for over a month!) just no time to do it in, so I'm thinking I'll do that Friday. It'll be nice to have a spiffy, clean room to come home to after my crazy days. It's nothing big, it's just turfing a lot of stuff and I got a new comforter and matching curtains, "big girl" stuff. Goodbye daisies and happy faces, hello bauhaus meets dada ( take THAT art history exam! BAM!). Seriously though, I have ideas, I love it. It's going to be fun.
After break, there really doesn't seem to be a crazy amount of stuff done. I'm halfway there, and most of the stuff has been done in the past 2 weeks... so I have everything I've done in the past 2 weeks, over 6. Wow, there's only 6 more weeks left of school... then what?
It's sleepy time now... I'm going out with Denise and Mandi and Kathleen tomorrow... and whoever else we scrounge up! A good time it sure will be!! I NEED TO CELEBRATE!!
NICKI AND KRISTA.... will you be at the Albion tomorrow? If not, let's make a date for next week!

I failed a midterm. Brutally. Now I'm nervous about the other midterms. Whatevs, only Zunaira passed that I know of, and I'm still passing the course... everyone fails sometimes, right? When I saw my mark (34.1%... MASSIVE FAIL!) I started crying... partly because I am a baby, partly because I was exhausted... and when I woke up the next day, there were black tears on my macbook because of my eyeliner. It was very emo, but very funny.
Last night was sloppy. I haven't been that drunk in months. I'm pretty sure I should have puked. It was such a good time though... box punching, dancing, drinking, Jinetta giving Sandy Herpe Henry back at the bar and pulling her onstage... Sandy walking around the rest of the night with a dildo in her hand or coat... awesome!
This week I have 2 assigments and 3 tests... and then it's reading week!! Yeaaaaah!! I'm pretty sure I'm working a lot of it... but not Wednesday night, because that's the season premiere of Americas Next Top Model... yessss!!

1:22 am - Now I can spill!!!
|
Since October, Sandy and I have been planning to take stupid naughty pictures of ourselves for Jinetta... the theme was sexy poses, retarded faces. We came up with scenarios for 3 months... we were going to break into J's apartment and take pictures in her bed, in her shower, etc... but then Sandy had a dream that J got really mad, so we decided to take them at Sandy's in our Pirate Hooker P.J's. They turned out hilarious, we put them in a tacky photo album and gave them to her today. Not only that- we took pictures of ourselves sleeping and ironed them onto pillow cases- this way, J will always wake up next to us... or whoever sleeps with J! It's awesome... she loved it, and those pictures will haunt us... and they aren't in the least bit flattering... except for the dildo ones... hahaha... BEST VALENTINES EVER!
The 3 of us spent the evening together, we decided it was about time for Sandy's boys to learn how to treat women, so they took us out for dinner. We aimed for The Keg, but it was an hour and 45 minute wait, so we went to Applebees. It was fun. I got the 8 year old.
We then went back to Sandy's and crushed 3 2 litre Strongbows (from England!) and had girl talk and just caught up. It's crazy how you can see and talk to eachother everyday, but you still can fall behind in eachothers lives.
Today was a snow day. Oakville was pretty much shut down... so my midterm was cancelled!! I ended up going into work for a lunch shift, seeing my parents for the first time in like 3 weeks, and hanging with J and S. It was awesome, totally relaxing. I didn't do a bit of school work... which I probably should have...
I'm working a pantload the rest of the weekend... I close tomorrow, a split Friday, an open over Saturday ( then Ashlene... weee!!) and I work a split preclose Sunday.
I can't wait to just relax... my body hates me right now. It's tired, but I don't have time to rest it... I should work on that...
I'm off to never never land... goodnight, and Happy Valentines Day!

9:57 pm - grrr

So I have to do a presentation tomorrow, and my powerpoint is almost done, I'm just waiting for a girl to send me her points.
I have to figure out what I'm going to say for promotional pricing, other than Wal-Mart and Best Buy do it.
I also have to figure out how I'm going to get my cable thingy that connects the computer to the projector... I went to the Mac store in Oakville today, but there was an accident on Speers Rd, and it was closed... so I'm going to go for first thing tomorrow morning. Hopefully all works out. Otherwise, I have the presentation on my USB key and someone else in the class may be nice enough to let me use their ghetto computers.
I went shopping today... found a nice pair of dress pants, heels and makeup, then got Red Papaya for Sandy and me to indulge in. Julius is learning how to read, it was fun helping him out. She's a good mom.
I have 3 exams next week. I'm going to start studying tomorrow night... I'm dangerously close to falling behind.
It all seems to work out though, this optimistic attitude is a plus on my stress level.

for some reason... after I talk to you... all I can do is go "tee hee hee" for hours and wake up my roommate to say "tee hee hee" to her.
tee hee hee!!!
this is fun. lotsa fun. I don't think I have time for this, but these things always seems to work themselves out.
tee hee hee!!!
I am retarded.
I have an 8am class, I have to be up for 6 to just make it in time... then I'm spending the day with my ma while I do laundry and attempt to do work on my presentation for Thursday and finish another project that's due Wednesday...
eff you product analysis! eff you marketing presentation! eff you headlines assignment.... no, I liked you.
I'm horribly giddy for this time of eve. I should have been in bed an hour ago. Instead I was tee-hee-hee-ing.
tee hee hee.
current mood:  giggly, geeky & giddy

9:00 am - ugh...
|
I'm going to the doctor soon. This black lung has creeped into my sinuses. My phlegm is yellow. Is that the infection colour where they give you antibiotics? We'll soon find out.
I made the stupid decision to go into work last night. I took the Benylin though... and let me forwarn you all... the commercials DON'T tell you that you'll be confused and sweaty. The restaurant looks fantastic, though, it's all put together, and everything is more moved to a spot were it's easy access. We have a new computer program, it's called Maitre'D, and it's a lot better than Squirrel!!
I just paid the hydro bill, and after rent comes out (which is sometime today...) I'll have $250 in my account to put on my visa, and then whatever tips I make, too... plus we get paid for training, so I'm pretty sure I'll have the $600 on that puppy by it's due date on the 6th. I tell ya, I may have become bitter with serving, but it's worth the quick cash.
I'm missing a class today, but I'm making it to art history because I've only been to one class this semester, then I work from 5 till whenever, then I come home and study a bit for a test tomorrow worth 20%... which Lynnden told Steph that it was simple and she studied too much for it. I studied a bit on Sunday, and I'll study my study sheet throughout the day and rewrite it.
The gym wouldn't let me work out because I'm sick, and apparently it would move through my body. I think they just want my $30/month for nothing!
I have a lot of stuff due next week, and a presentation, and I'm not ready for it yet. Guess the weekends full of work and homework have officially begun!
current mood:  sick
