My Aventure Before Lunch
Public Transit going 70km/hour is scary... and very hard to stand up in!

The Real University Life
I just had this total freak out a few mins ago... with nobody to call. It sucked so much, cuz I wanted to talk to somebody, to calm myself down, but Tacky was not to be reached... I don't blaim anyone in these cases... except for the freaky people in this town that freak me out.... you know you feel low when a hobo comments on your lovely blue eyes... and when only person has called you so far, other than rents and people who work in the adminsitration, is a guy who wants to practise his grammar and dialed a random number hoping for a nice person who is equally a little insane to answer. That has been my life so far... Well, you will tell me to get out of this room and go meet new people... my reply to that is that I am a shy person... but let me add one more thing, today I met a new person, I did that thing where you walk into a class and sit beside somebody who has nobody else beside them... cuz maybe you guys can become friends... well so I did that today but as my luck would have it, I meet this girl who wouldn't stop talking the whole friggin' class to me so I missed what the prof was saying, and seeing as how it's the only class I am the most screwed in, I actually wanted to listen today.... but I felt rude if I were to tell her to shut up. In conclusion, if somebody in a class is sitting by themselves, there must be a reason - either they drove everyone else away from them (today's case) or they are really pathetic looser's (my case) and simply are not meant to be talked to because their lives are just that boring. Thus, don't talk to them! That of course is a lesson you will have to learn in university.
SOOO much reading to do! I know they warn you about it before university, but seriously, it's a friggin' lot!

I am SO not good with names!
Feh, let me tell you how my weekend went... no wait, let me show you... lol. So I mostly went out to discover more about my surroundings in this great town... and the first important thing I came accross was the american embassy... it looks so bold and strong... here is a pic of it. It's all guarded up, which got me to think that they must really think we are a powerful nation that might attack them or something.. lol... that would be funny.. little Canada... jokes... Anyways, another building I saw was art museum... it's basically got a lot of glass walls all around it and there is a really large (and personally very ugly) spider that sits out there as if it is going to attack you. Maybe the people at the american embassy but up all the gates to protect them from the giant spider... lol. I didn't go in the musuem this time, but I have been in there with my class a few years ago went we took a trip all the way up here. Anyways, I found some other museums I thought about checking out... they included the war museum, the photography musuem (I wish Sammy was up here so I could go with him and make all the tourist think that we are professionals if they were to listen to his talk about lenses and if I do that agreeing thing with the humming noice... lol.) I also saw the museum of civilisation and the dinosaur museum... lol... there are a lot of museums around here! Finally I came across one of the sources of my misery... this church (last pic) is sooo evil! Well, not the church it self, let me explain... I call this pic "Bell Church" not because I am a frenchie and think that it is a pretty church, but because the bells from this church can be heard everywhere all the time... I happened to be right beside the church as it was near 12:00pm and guess what I heard... the loudest symphany one could ever hear.... MY GOSH it was sooo loud... so I curse the evil bells and wonder how do the people how live around there not go deaf!
So anyways, that was my weekend... I also spent a lot of time studing... because of the stupid weather... however, I am ahead once again in some of my classes... woot for me! TTYL Shannon

Rainy Days
On the left there is a picture of me sporting my lovely pink jacket, which is suppose to represent the weather outside... you can tell that I am quite bored, eh? I think you will notice if you compare this pic with the others that I took from the same location that I still haven't moved that ugly box of TIDE... although it had been opened... (I did laundry yesterday ALL by my self... it was actually very impressive!) Nyhoo, I also took a pic of my eye... because it is simply just that beautiful... jokes. I am just that bored I guess. So en somme, this is how my eye looks taken from a poor quality camera phone through a mirror. I am not even wearing any makeup. Just thought you would like to know that. Oh well, back to my books... TTYL

♥ Simple Plan : Untitled
Today has a pretty good day. I met up with this girl for my one and only class and we sat together... it's wasn't terrible! Well, first of all the obviousness that I wasn't really alone made it better and that there was someone who could help me when I got confuzzled, but on the other hand, it was also mi clase de español. Lol, hoy aprendimos que soy una estudiante y que ella es la profesora! We also learned how to greet people and say goodbye... for example, good afternoon = buenas tardes! and good night = buenas noches! however, you can say good night as a goodbye too... whereas buenas tardes y buenos días can only be said in greetings... that is weird. However, I did already know that, so I was pretty bored the whole time... although I am trying to give the impression that I don't know a lot of spanish. There are some good benefits to that. First of all, it will not make you seem like a know-it-all. Secondly, you can get answers wrong and nobody will care, thirdly, you can fit in really well with all the people who do not know any spanish it all. To conclude this paragram... I would like to end with another one of the goodbies that we learned - HASTA LUEGO!
I told myself back in the tenth grade that once I passed science that term, I would never have to ever learn it again - ever! Well, it turns out you have to learn it in psychology... and when the prof says that you don't need to know any science to understand the DNA related part of the course, she assumes that most people actually know something about science... I however, barely passed three years ago, and now I am still learning about nucleus'... WTF?!?! I was soo confused, and I don't really know that many people right now, so I was like, you can I ask a question without making myself look a total nerd or dumbass... so of course, I turned to miss tacky!! I phoned her up (screw the long distance bill!) and got her to explain it all to me... lol.. of course she did seem to know a lot! Anyways, this got me thinking, maybe I should try some sort of science for dummies type course, cuz apparently I still should now some more about science, but then I realized I was going crazy and that that would NEVER happen!! lol...
Anyways, that's all for me today... TTYL - and don't worry, I won't go into science - ever! that would just be too funny!

I'm a fan! *Really? Stares of disbelief*
Me: Hey, I'm Shannyn!
Person: It's crazy weather right now huh?.....
Me: like totally!....blah blah blah....
Person: blah blah blah... So what kind of music do you like?
Me: Oh, i like the current pop stuff... a little Sum, U2, Nickelback, coldplay... like that.... but I LOVE GREEN DAY!
Person: Really? *stops and stares in disbelief*
That actually happens to shock a lot of people... I mean, I guess I dress too preppy to be a fan in some peoples' eyes... but seriously.... Billie Joe Armstrong (leader signer) uses such powerful (+ catchy) language, and the band is never afraid to say what they want... I love that! I can totally loose myself when listening to that band... in fact I am listening to the lastest CD right now... lol. I'm simply sitting here and rockin away.... awesome! Sure they have some songs that I am not always down with... (like the anti religious ones) but for the most part there words speak to me.
Anyways, I had a pretty interesting dinner tonight... you will probably not have guessed it... SUSHI! yes... I saw it there... and I thought, maybe I should give it another try... who knows... it could be really awesome. My thoughts are these: vegetarian sushi by itself is okay... that weird green stuff is evil and the pinkish stuff might tast fine at first but it gets really nasty later on. lol. In conclusion, I don't think I will get it again for a really long time... it's one of those things that I'm happy with only twice a year!
In another completly different direction, I have most past the stage of loneliness and have meet some cool people. My classes don't suck so much now cuz I can complain to others about them... (this really happens to be a talent of mine! lol). Anyways.... to the guy who wrote on my door that I should give him a call... LEAVE YOUR F'IN NUMBER THEN!!!

I had the guts... but the others failed me.

This weekend sucked!!
So I basically did nothing this weekend... who knew that the library staff doesn't work on weekends? Seriously.. I thought I would at least have done that! Oh well, today I read some scripts for television shows that I had already seen... isn't that sad... well, I read some good ones at least. That was basically the big event for the day... BTW- do you think my hair is getting any lighter? I am using this shampoo for blondes but I don't really think that it is working... my hair looks the same to me. That is actually a really stupid pose now that I think about it. lol. I GOT NOTHING DONE!! I'm not really okay with that, cuz I don't like not being productive... it actually bothers me if I don't get something done... ttyl
Oh ya, I forgot to add - "Happy" 4th anniversary world! Look how far you have come. That was really sad, but now we are just plain sad.

Lights will guide me home...
(just cuz I wanted to do that before I actually started to use them!) that was interesting... I forgot to bring something to dry them... so I waisted a lot of paper towel... giggle. I am still putting off going to the library... they were mean yesterday... so I think I might just go tomorrow and finish all my other work today. Sounds like a plan! That's not really healthy - you know - to avoid things... but still... I hate the library people here... can't you tell I'm a freshman?!?!?!?! I know my questions sound stupid, but you need to explain it properly to me... i'm just a little slow~
So my new favourite thing to eat here is a chicken cesar salade on a white pita wrap.... yummy... I have had three already... and I must suggest you try one... they are a little expensive but I think it is worth it. Right now I am on the meal plan here so I don't mind waisting my money like that. I warn you that they are a little messy but no worries.
Another thing that I really miss is my brother. We used to be kinda close... now I have to plan a conversation just to talk to him... I miss getting him to do things for me, I have to do them all myself now. Yesterday I could not open my coke (bottle) and I wanted to brake down in tears cuz no matter what I tried, it would not open! It was one of those moments I would yell for my brother and we would come and save the day for me... but he wasn't there... and I was all alone. What was I do to? I just kept trying -and by gosh! That Worked! It finally opened. Truste me, I still didn't learn that I can do anything i set my mind to, I just realized that all bottles can be opened... I still depend on others to do all my dirty work... lol.
I also tried to figure out how I would get home if I wanted to spend the long weekend at home... well, there was no light to guide me... I could not figure out really how to get from the bus station to the train station... but I can get from here to the bus station, and from the train station home... I just could not find the thing the connects to two... I miss my car! I would indeed drive all the way back home - whatchu talking about? I know that is far... but what's your point?
Just let me complain a little longer.

Girl With A Broken Smile
That's me, in my lovely little rooom... with my beautiful camera phone... you can also see my laptop, and some of my shelves and my board... lol. Those flowers I got for my bday from my grandmother and aunt. I don't think I look really happy, but not worries, I am doing alright. My class today was a snooze fest though.... I wanted to walk right out, and I don't really know why I didn't... I already knew 99% of what the teacher was saying. Although I have to admit I did learn ONE new word. Apart from it, I knew everything, and I was very very bored. So I'm thinking that that class is the one to skip... lol. Anyways, je sais que c'est un peu trops (tout cette experience) pour moi mais il faut que je la fasse... il n'existe pas d'autre moyens. Je ne comprends pas toujours tous, et je cherche toujours quelque qui pourrait me guider... mais il se cache. Anyways, ttyl people... I have a whole weekend ahead of me... lol... i shoud procrastinate my work a little more so I will have something to do then..
First Classes

This morning's tour of parliment...
Hello, after sleeping in a lot this morning, I went shopping (well spent bday!) and bought myself a bowl cuz I still needed one... lol. I was going to buy myself some clothes, but in the end I didn't see anything that perked my interest... Anyways, from there I did the tourist thing and walked around parliment hill... here are some pics..
IKEA!!
Good Night Everyone... I am finally 18!!! I can vote!
Happy BDAY SHANNYN!!!

Meet Teddy...
Sadly, Teddy is the only person I have met so far... Above is a picture I took of him... lol. Anyways, I just wanted to let you all know that tomorrow is my birthday and if I don't meet somebody tonight, I'll be all alone. Last night I had a plan to go to the information session that was held this morning... but it turns out that I actually went to the wrong one and everyone there spoke French! What a disaster... my plan didn't work because I had to concentrate even harder to understand what they were saying, incase anything was actually important... lol. I found out somethings I didn't know, but in the end, it was a wasted time because there were not that many people there... cuz most people went to the english one! I Should Have Been THERE!!! Feh, I'll just go back tomorrow and then listen to the whole thing over again... grrrr.... I'll seem really smart though!
P.S. Happy Early Birthday To MOI!!!

Sooo Lonely...
Saturday, September 03, 2005
So much to say....
Somehow, I don't really know how, but six of my closest friends found there way to my house and surprised me. Lol, I knew they were comming, but tacky and janet told me they had missed the bus and that I needed to go and pick them up but in reality they were right behind my house. Nice trick! Anyways, we went out to rent a movie... complicated process cuz sharon wanted horror, while jenny said she would never be able to sleep againg if that's what we decided on.... in the end we rented an action (Electra), and then we headed off to go by cake making supplies... lol. Lai had no confidence in our abilities and suggested we go for a mix... yummy chocolate cake. We even bought the easy to make cake icing... lol. Anyways, we came back to my casa and made the cake.... kan turned the icing pink (on purpose, don't worry), and lai, and tacky kinda concentrated on the making of the cake with help from others. Everyone else kinda played with mi perro and sharon looked at flyers... I believe she has decided that she needs to go shopping again. lol. After they chilled my cake (i don't really know much about the process because i wasn't really aloud to see it... ) i opened presents... BTW - thanks to all of your for the awesome gifts!! I got such cool stuff!!! Lol, i think like 80% of them were pink.... Anyways then we watched the movie... it was okay, although i still have some questions that were not answered! Then went out and ordered pizza. That wasn't THAT hard... but the people were probably making fun of us afterwards... especially the ones we got to take our pictures... sad sad. Anyways, we got back, ate pizza, sang h.b. to me and i blew out the candle... *(must not tell you what my wish was)* then we ate the cake... yummy..... then we watched the forgotten. That was my second time, i liked it better than Electra. After the movie we tryed to plan what we were going to do next. That was really hard, because some people had been given wrong information. Anyways we planned to drive past viva and not go in... just to say that we had in fact been there. lol, that is so sad.... but i think miss wong got a little freaked out and wouldn't have wanted to go in after all. lol.... in the end, we drove around a lot (my parking skills were put to the test and i totally failed!). We ended up at a japanese restaurant where we snacked on healthy food... lol, "soga" or whatever it was that I had is actually really good.... yummy watermelon flavour!! That's really all there was to my night... I got home a las dos and cleaned up a little... then slept a lot. I basically have been organising and cleaning up since then... although I'm bored of that now and don't wanna do that anymore.... I want out!

On My Way...
-Swing Life Away / Rise Against
-Fix You / Coldplay
-She Will Be Love / Maroon5
-Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own / U2
-Save Me / Unwritten Law
-Comme Un Fils / Corneille
If you speak french, I recomend that last one... it's beauticful. Although it is kinda weird because the signer is asking for someone to love him like a son, but I think he is talking to his girlfriend or someone like that... I KNOW! Anyways, today I am meeting up with Lai and then we are going shopping... She is calling others today to see who is comming with us. lol, cuz both our families are strict and neither of us could use the phone last night. It's really peaceful right now cuz I'm practically alone... so I don't have to listen to my parents constant "suggestions". Grr.... what would my padre know anyways? - evil comment retracted -
All I want to do is have things stay the ways they are right now.
- My birthday party is suppose to be tomorrow
- I'm leaving for university in three days
- I'm moving into my new room in four days
- My actual birthday is in six days
- School starts in seven days
*many hours later*
Okay, I just got back from the mall. Sweet times, first I thought it was only going to be lai and I but then we went to kan's house and we hung out there for a while and she came with us too. Lol, i bought a new mirror. It was beautiful! They each bought clothes, but I didn't see anything I really liked. Although the sales were pretty good. Anyways, 2mora is my party before school starts, it's going to be sooo much fun. I hope so at least. People are comming over, we will watch a movie, order pizza and then go out later. Oh ya, and we are going to try to bake a cake while we are here, but i'm sure it's going to turn into a really messy mess.... lol.
