Sting or Bite?

Interesting thing happened to me at work today. Two hours into my shift my left ring finger became itchy, and then it got really hot... so much that running it under cold water wasn't helping. All my other fingers were fine, and I felt fine apart from that. Not long after my finger swelled up quite a bit and was suffering in pain. I didn't know what to do... and after talking to my friend over what I should do, I told my supervisor who gave me an icepack to carry around. My huge finger could not feel the cold from the icepack, although my other finger froze. Oddly it wasn't the whole finger that was suffering, just the middle part - which made it really painful to try to bend. I'm not sure if it was a sting or a bite. Just before I left work I noticed the swelling had gone down and now it feels almost back to normal. The strange thing is that I didn't do anything out of the ordinary today... so I don't understand how this could have happened.

Sunshine Going Down!

When I'm at work, I want nothing but to be at home. When I'm at home, I almost want to be at work. Today I had a day off, and although it was nice to relax, chill, and basically do nothing all day, I feel like I waisted a good day. Frankly, I was bored today. I didn't know what to do with all this spare time, especialy since I can't sleep in anymore. Well, I have to admit that at least I didn't have to deal with any mean customers today. On saturday I had a really mean one (the meanest I have ever delt with) that yelled at me and cursed my compagnie... she almost made me cry. I was really shaken that day and vey upset (en français je dirais que j'étais boulversée)... and worst of all nobody except my work friends knew about it because I didn't want to get upset about it all over again. It has been a couple of days now, and as I look back, I realize it was totally stupid for me to get all worked up, in fact I should pity that customer for they probably have a terrible life.

La Dia De Mi Coche

Today started off alright... I really didn't want to be at work, but things were going well. I had two major sales that almost made me wish that I worked on commission. Later however, the weather got way too hot... which slowed me down soooo much... I barely did anything, yet when it started to rain 30 mins before the end of my shift, I did more than I had done in the few hours before. lol.
Anyways, last night I had decided that today I was going to look after my car, so I sat down with my parents and asked them what I needed to have done when I went to get it serviced. They gave me a list, and when I got there today I handed the receptionist the list and told her "I want those done". She probably thought I was retarted or something. meh. Then I said "like, how long would that take?" and she said an hour and that I could just sit here and wait... but I said "ummm, actually I'm gonna go shopping"... I knew that sounded bad, because everytime I go there, I look like a complete idiot. Anyways, shopping didn't go well either as I was looked like a stupid person once again trying to buy new wipers. lol. Then on the walk back to the car place it started to rain heavily again, so I returned as a socked idiot with a shopping bag. meh. Hopefully I will not have another dia por mi coche anytime soon.

Finally, A True Night Out

After work yesterday Alice called me up and we decided to go out for dinner when she finishes her work. I did some light window shopping before picking her up... lol, then we went to visit Robin. The three of us hung out in his kitchen while I was analyzing his parents' flower placement... but that is what happens when flowers are all you can think about. ha ha. So yea, we had some of Robin's birthday cake... and I was enlightened about ice cream cakes. Then Tacky and I went out for dinner and ran into a girl from high school that I didn't really get along with. Thankfully she wasn't our waitress, who knows what would have happened... but then again, that was ages ago... on the other hand, I wouldn't doubt that our server talked to her after we left about us. meh... oh the drama. Anyways, then we went out for bubble tea... I loved mine so much, and would probably say it was one of the best ones I have ever had. By that time it was way past my normal summer bedtime, so I dropped Tacky off and headed home. Driving home was the creepiest thing, because it was just after 11 o'clock yet my town was pretty much a ghost town. There was nobody to see for miles! Typical.

425 - Hot Summer

Nothing exciting is happening... the highlights of this week are: monday - grandparents came to visit me at work and brought me chocolate to get me through the day. tuesday - I saw a bunny rabbit at work. wednesday - had to drive around a bunch of geese to get to work... they were blocking my path. thursday - heather bought me a hot chocolate on her way to work super early this morning which really made my day.

It's a Charmed Life

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBIN!!

Enjoy this special 20/20 birthday!

Today I went shopping at my favorite mall... and had mommy buy me a couple of nice shirts. She rarely spoils me so, but this has put me in such a good mood I'm not thinking into it too much. I've been bitter with work so much lately, or simple just too tired to care about anything, so I guess today was really necessary to lift my spirits. Hopefully days like today will get me through the rest of the working part of the summer. Okay, now it's starting to seem like I'm a clothing obsessed little girl who is easily pleased.... meh, that could be true after all.

What Happened To Those Thunderstorms?

The double picture is from yesterday, I didn't know which one to use, or what to write. In fact I didn't do much yesterday... except a lot of cooking. My family has a new rule (lol, another, I know~), that I have to cook one night per week (this is full of restrictions and sub-rules). I chose Monday (to get it over with - I don't procrastinate)... so I made this casserole from a recipe Craig gave me (the one we made at maggie's xmas party)... only I had double the amount of meat... so I ended up having to double most of the other ingredients. In the end, it turned out really well... I would actually make it again to eat. My family enjoyed it too. However, now they have this idea that I can actually cook and expect good meals in the future. This cannot be good... since I actually can't really cook. meh. That sounds like such a pathetic Monday off, but that's pretty much what happened. Anyways, I'm super tired from work right now, I was expecting a nice rainy cool day, but it turned out hot and sticky... not cool!

Dress For Summer And It Will Come

Summer has been a little lousy, just waiting to see my friends. Hopefully this week it will turn around. I haven't been anywhere or done anything yet, but really, who's fault is that? On my days off I just relax... which is pretty sweet! I so badly want to go get my haircut... but I'm unsure of what I want them to do. Side bangs? Just a trim? Cut shorter? Dunno. I hate being undecided. Enough hair talk... I do that way too often. Ummm, right now I'm just hoping that the next 8 weeks go by really fast and that I make lots of money so I can spend the rest of the summer being studious while still having fun (which is much more my forte than this hard manual labor). Anyways, adios.

Working

Haven't posted in a long time. If you lived here you would know why. Anyways, I had my first day back at work aujourd'hui. It was more painful than I expected... even with my scary supervisor off for the day! Grrr... I had to deal with newbs. Patience being seriously tested.... especially when one barely speaks English. When I talk to him, he gets all scared and has no idea what I am saying. This might be because lots of people think that I talk fast. I don't really think that I do, but I certainly do to someone who's first language is not English. Also, I tend to want to make things look perfect, but when my manager tells me to move things over and over again, I start to get a little frustrated. When I put something on a shelf, I make it look nice, but then I am told (sometimes less than an hour later) that it has to be moved. OMG! So then I go and move it... but by the third time, I really lack the will power to make it look as nice as it did the first time.
I am so tired. I hope your summers are going well.

POST 420

Packing up my room was much more fun than I thought it would be - Even though it took two hours to get everything off my walls. No joke. My poor walls are very blank... it is really boring in here now. In fact, I think the insane amount of decorations was actually inspiring (not in the making me get more work done way because I still am motivated, but in the cheery, exciting way). So, what have I done this week. You will be shocked at really how little I did: monday I watched a lot of The Office (season two), tuesday I packed a little and took down all the posters, then went on an adventure with Beckie to the middle of nowhere (it was a little sketchy walking on the side of the highway, but it made for good conversation)... in fact we got honked at! Wednesday I finished Sex and the City (season three) and then went out with some friends for a really nice dinner, followed by some very late night shopping... bless shoppers for being open so late. ha ha. Anyways, today I made a really pretty card for my friend's birthday that is coming up (also a good way to waste time)... then tonight the plan is to go out dancing. I feel bad for my poor roommates who still have exams...
Oddly two of my marks are ready posted online. Two A's. Excellent. One was in spanish... in which we all know I desearved an A+, and the other was in linguistics (quite a shocker... but I'm thinking that the whole class must have failed because he bumped our marks up by 10 percent [that has never happened to me] so that I got 101.5 percent!!)... however, this does justify why I was tutoring my friends in that class. lol... anyways, I would be shocked if I got any more As, I'm expecting three Bs to appear soon.

La Fin Est Toujours Triste.

Officially done this year at university. Impressive. Now I have a little break before I get picked up my the parents. I feel bad for my other roommates that are still going through torture with exams. In fact, I wish everyone who hasn't finished yet good luck.

So, tomorrow morning I have a meeting about my program, then I don't know what I shall do. I guess we shall see where I end up. Wednesday I have a dinner thing to go to with friends, then I think I am going out dancing with other friends on Thursday. I guess I'll be home soon enough. Sadly I really don't want to leave here, but recent developments have made me also really want to go home. I think packing is going to be a little painful... but also fun cuz I like to organize my things! lol. Anyways, life is beautiful right now... I have no school work to do... I could do anything I want. This is the week of freedom. (Let's just see how I waste it).

The Night Before My Last Exam

Experiment: I have made study notes for my exam earlier this week but haven't really study off them yet. This whole time I have been having people over to my house to "tutor" them. (Technically I am not a tutor so much as a study-buddy, but with this group of people it's really just me teaching them what to do). Since I have been helping all the people without actually studying from my notes... do you think I will pass my exam tomorrow? Clearly I know what I am doing if I am able to help my classmates, but on the other hand, is that enough? Of course I am going to be spending a lot of time tonight studying on my own, but because I have another study party in a few minutes that probably will last late into the night, the chances that I will get to study as much as I normally would are slim. The experiment is going to be whether doing the problems over and over with my friends and teaching them (and in some cases learning with them) is going to be enough. We shall see.

Groundhog Sighting

It is really nice outside! Today Maggie saw a groundhog. I am jealous. However, this does mean that it is spring. yay! On the other hand, it means that I want to go out and spend time outside. This is not a good idea, as I still have one exam looming in the back of my mind. Anyways, today Maggie and I are going out for French Fries at this place that she claims has the best ones. Then later I am coming back to clean my room for another study group. You can't imagine what my room has been like the past two days. My friends from class are constantly over studying with me... which I love on the one hand because it keeps me studying in a fun way, but on the other hand, I don't study the best with all these people because we go at different paces. Ciela and I study very well together because we both totally get the material and can help each other equally with the problems... but the other girls are so lost and I feel like it's just me tutoring them, instead of us studying together. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with that, especially when they bring me treats as some sort of study food/payment, but still, some people I do not have enough patience for. Anyways, I am afraid of if I continue I might saw something mean. So, hope you all enjoy the nice weather!!

Studyholic

One exam left. That's pretty lucky compared to most of my friends... sadly it's not until Sunday. Normally I would be out shopping in my time off between exams, but this time I am super studious... basically I have been studying all the time. Craig and I wake up every morning and study until lunch. The only reason why I am not studying now is because I'm on study lunch break and have to clean my room for study party this afternoon.

On to the other thing on my mind... I have to say I was a little shocked about the VT shooting. It scared me a little at first, being on campus and all... but I do feel safe here. If I have ever made someone feel terrible about themselves, I am sorry. I think I want to become a more friendly person, to make people feel less alone. But I don't really have that kind of personality... I'm not exactly super outgoing... and while I have known certain people I really could have been kinder to, sometimes I am not that strong. Anyways, my heart goes out to the families involved. I can't believe what has happened.

Post 415 + More Snow

This morning the patter of rain on my window awoke me. Alas, I realized later that it was actually snow. This must be the latest in the year that it has snowed in a few years. I don't think this acceptable! lol, I'm still shocked that there is snow outside waiting for me. boo.

Tengo un examen en Espanol hoy. No quiero estudiar. He estudiado mucho ayer, pero no mucho anteayer. <-- LOOK! Practice! Now I can ignore Spanish a little longer. lol. I swear, it's so painful memorizing irregular verbs. But perhaps more fun then memorizing dates and facts for the french history/culture exam that I have tomorrow... which btw, I haven't actually started to study for yet and will not until after Spanish exam... (thus, tonight after dinner) tsk tsk. Well, I'm not totally screwed as I did spent Saturday re-writing all my notes from that class. At least I have a general idea of what happened now. meh.

Mmmm... maybe I should get on that studying... sounds like a terribly boring plan. ggrrr.... I'm so brain dead already. Boo those who are already done.

Early To Bed This Saturday Night

Fells like it has been forever since I updated. Don't know why I am updating now, I am soo tired and my fingers kill for sooo much note making for exams. arrg. Despite super boring studying today in various locations around campus with Craig, it could possibly have been more painful. Perhaps tomorrow I will create a super fun study game and have fun learning.... I have many doubt of this though. *yawn* night night.

Second Last Day Of Classes!

ACK! I'm so sick of this snow. It was weird when I went home, but as it is still snowing, it is starting to just suck. When I got back up here yesterday it snowed a little bit on my way back to rez, and then today it was snowing on my way to class. Although it is really pretty because it's not too cold, I still wish the weather would just go back to normal. Has the world forgotten that it is spring?!? Grrr.
I just got back from a nice lunch with Ciela. We always have such deep conversations about our respective homes. lol. This was after my one and only class today. (*smile*), no more linguistiques!! Woot! Before class I hung out with Juliane, (same girl who asked me for help on the last assignment.); she is not at all like she may be perceived. So I am planning a massive study party for that class. Should be fun. Adios!

Snow Is Sooo Uncool!

Right now I am sitting on my bed in my parents' house. Yesterday and today were a little crazy. First of all, yesterday I had a morning class at 10:00am, then rushed to the mall to by a birthday present for Alice... followed by rushing off for lunch and class at 1:00, where I had to hand in my last project. That felt very good. Thankfully my teacher let us out really early because it was my last class with him, so then I went back to rez and packed everything up before heading off to my last class. From there I train-ed it home... which was actually fun because I was with my friend from Spanish class, and I helped her with her french homework.. lol, I looked so pro. Our train was delayed almost an hour, so I didn't make it home until midnight. grrr... Then today I could have sworn Alice told me she was at P-Mall... which I headed off to after lunch, and after circling the parking lot with no luck of a parking space, I called her to ask, and then realized she was actually at FMP. oops. I felt stupid for mixing the two up. ha ha. Worse still I had forgotten her bday present at my house. Anyways, I finally met up with her for some shopping, bubble teaing and more shopping. ha ha... I was getting rather shocked that we hadn't seen anyone we knew yet, but sure enough we end up running into a dude from our high school and talk with him for a while. Eventually we headed home.... and I forgot to buy some chocolate for her brother's school fundraiser which I said I would do. Some days we would all lose our heads if they were not attached.
Driving into town was so peaceful tonight. Everything had a light layer of snow... there were few cars to be seen, and it looked like a postcard for a perfect christmas. ... then I realize, it's almost Easter... and that is weird. I don't like this snow thing.... it's creepy! I vote real summer starts NOW!

Post #411

No, there is no second meaning to this blog title, I just don't happen to be feeling very creative right now. Actually, I'm feeling exhausted and just want to sit here and do nothing.... which gets kinda boring after a while, so I don't recommend it. Today I had a presentation en espanol et un examen de mi-session en immersion. Je répète encore que ce n'est pas un cours d'immersion, mais un cours sur le programme d'immersion. lol. So with that last thing done, I have officially finished one of my classes... then I just need to hand in a project tomorrow to be finished a second class. Thus as of tomorrow afternoon I'll only have three classes to worry about... probably none of which will get much attention this weekend. ha ha. Nyways, just wanted to say that I got the summer bursary deal, so I'm headed off to Québec pour l'été avec mes amis. Je suis excitée!!

2 birthdays!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALICE!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CIELA!

~I hope you guys have the best of days!

Bonne fête mes chères amies!!!
Je vous souhaite la plus belle des journées!
