School Marks & Aggrevation!

I decided to try and call the grade line once again. The marks were supposed to be posted on the grade line on Friday. Anyhow, I got through and my marks were posted. I got my autobiography mark! I got a 70% in that class. I have no idea how I got so high in that class! I was expecting, no joke, a 65% in that class! So all my marks this semester are above 70%. I am still awaiting for my french mark. That I know will be above a 75% for sure. I am expecting between an 80-85% in that class this semester. I am so proud of myself. If I do put my mind towards something, I can accomplish and do well! 2 more things regarding my marks... 1) My art literature mark is posted at 82% on the grade line when I saw the list posted on my teacher's cork board, and she had given me an 83%. I just left her a message. I wasn't sure what to do. Because I don't know if a) she decided to change her mind before handing in the marks, or b) made a mistake on the paper outside her office or c) made a mistake entering in the marks. Now, I don't care for 1%, it won't budge my average up that much, but, if it is the teacher's mistake, then I believe that it deserves to be adjusted. Don't you? What do you think?

And the second thing.... 2) My Creative Writing mark is not posted, when I know that the teacher gave me an 84% and the marks should have been handed in on Friday. Argh! I hope nothing is wrong. I worry all the time. And I hope that I am able to get the classes I want next semester. I won't know until I register next Thursday. I can't wait. I don't want time to fly, but I do. I am enjoying this relaxing state, but I also want to celebrate New Years with E and get my first New Years kiss from my boyfriend! And I want to celebrate things like the holidays and so forth, but I do not want to go back to school... Anyhow, I am in a good mood! Later

Good Laugh

Just got a good laugh! My brother bought my sister some goldfish for her birthday. I told my sister's boyfriend to go get her some tropical fish for her birthday. He already got her these really nice earrings, but doesn't want to show up tomorrow night empty handed you know... My dad was going to go tomorrow to get her a fish for her birthday. You see, her fish passed away not to long ago. I can't remember the exact date or what not, but it passed away and we think we know why... She had her goldfish that she won at a bar mitzvah. My dad gave it a week to live, my mom said a month and my brother gave it a day. I said a year... She got the fish in April of 1999 and it out lived all of those bets... It died if I am not mistaken in November of 2000. I don't think it was any earlier than that. Anyhow, the week her fish, Joshephine (Joey for short, yes she named it after Joey on Dawson's Creek!) died, my sister had moved it's tank next to her computer screen. We honestly believe that her fish died of radiation. What do you think? Anyhow, we just got a great laugh, because everyone was thinking of replacing my sister's fish.. Now I don't know what to get my brother and my sister and my parents and E and his parents and his sister and her husband, and my best friend, all for the holidays. It is soooo hard! Why is it so hard?

Wind Watch, What's That?

My mom won't let me take the car and it's sitting in the driveway. My brother needs it from 3:30 for an hour and a half about, and that's cool. But apparently I am not allowed to take it anywhere after that. It's my winter break and she's telling me that I can't go anywhere. That's outrageous. I swear. If I am in this house one too many hours longer, I am going to go nuts. I haven't left the house since yesterday when I got home from work, except for like 10 minutes last night when I tried to escape but was called back home. This is really outrageous. I can't wait to go to work and do all those other things this week. I wish now that I lived on my own and that I had my own car. If I had my own car that would be another story. This all wouldn't be happening. And what the heck is a wind watch? My mum is telling me that one of the reasons I am not allowed going anywhere is because of some wind watch reason. Or something. She's like, pretend there's a snowstorm out there and you aren't going anywhere... What the heck is supposed to mean. There is no snow storm out there, the roads are fine. I drove during the ice storm 98, and that was 100 times worse than a wind storm....

I slept in a little today, but that's ok, because I couldn't sleep last night and was online pretty late, teaching myself how to knit. It doesn't seem to want to work, so I gave that up. Maybe I have the wrong kind of needles. Maybe I am doing something wrong. Who knows. Maybe I have the wrong kind of yarn. Don't know... E's mother is good with that stuff, so E said maybe she'd show me. All I want to know, is how to make a scarf. I need to do something during my winter break. I am so damn ass bored. Need to give myself something artistic to do... So I figured I'd learn how to knit!

I made my appointment for my allergy test. January 16th at 10 am.

I really hate this weather. It's all the weather's fault that I am sitting her bored out of my mind. GRR... What to do. I have nothing to do. So bored, out of my mind. Need a project. I am not even that into my book, so it's not as if I can't put it down. I haven't been able to get into a good book lately. Don't know why. Haven't found one that I really liked. Maybe I will stumble upon one like that soon. We'll see. I think I am going to go put in the movie the Patriot which I taped a few days ago. And maybe try that knitting thing again.

A Fight Over Chicken!

A fight with my parents. And it's all because I am a vegetarian and don't eat chicken. They know I am a vegetarian. I've been a vegetarian for well over a year now. And you know what I completely hate ... the fact that they always forget that I don't eat meat anymore and they usually consult when they are getting dinner from a restaurant or even when they pick up chicken at the market place, they will always ask me what I want to eat, because there is other stuff for me to get at restaurants, bakeries, and at the market place. Anyhow, so my dad calls me up at work and tells me that he is wondering what time I am coming home from work, if I was almost done, because he wanted to know an estimated time, so that he could go pick up the chicken that is for dinner. I said, chicken? Since when are we eating chicken, no one consulted me... and he got mad at me, and hung up the phone on me! When I got home, I went to my room and changed. Wanted to get out of my work clothes. And then I came out of my room and said hello to my grandparents who were all over. (Both sides of my family) Because I didn't say hello as the first thing, and I went to get changed first, that was the first thing I got yelled at for... I went back to my room and started doing things around my room. I heard my parents call my brother and my sister down for dinner, each by their name... Never heard my name... So I stayed in my room. I feel asleep actually for a bit. Had a bit of a headache. And because of that I got a worse migraine from my mother and father yelling at me afterwards. See, I tried to walk out of the house to go drive thru somewhere to get some dinner. But I didn't get to far and I was told to get back into the house. Then I tried later on, and my dad said it was Ok, but my mother on the otherhand was like, NO, there's food in the house. No there wasn't!! If there was, I would have been eating it!!! So I didn't eat dinner, and now I am bored out of my mind... and angry at my mother and was thinking way out of proportion earlier because of this and E was trying to help me, but that didn't help really. I know he is trying to help.

Israel's Free Trip?

To go or not to go... I still have that email sitting in my inbox. Do I answer back to them and tell them I want to go, or do I not want to go. To answer back, or not to answer back... that is the question... *Bombs, death, guns... *Beautiful city, free trip, visiting my friend Iris, visiting family, traveling, that's what I want to do... Argh! I don't know what to do?

What Women Want?

Slept in and caught up on some sleep. Felt good. Went to see E play hockey this afternoon. He played 2 games in a row. Oooh, smelly! Really! The first game he subbed for a friend who couldn't make the game and then his team was on. I love watching their games, when E behaves that is. Sometimes their games are far more interesting than going to a game at the Molsen Center or watching the NHL... After hockey, and after he showered (of course) E and I went to the mall for dinner and a movie. We went to this restaurant called Sternz and this guy who dropped autobiography (the class I struggled with) happened to be a bus boy there. That was funny bumping into him. Not really. Anyhow, E went to get tickets at the theater next door in the mall and when he was there he bumped into my grandmother who had just seen that movie, so she came into the restaurant for 5 minutes to say hello. I love bumping into her. It's my mom's mom. She's my favorite grandparent... E and I saw the movie What Women Want. Cute movie that was! I love Mel Gibson. What do women want? Honestly? We are so complicated!! After the movie we bumped into my grandmother's sister, who was going to see that movie as well! I like bumping into people I know! We picked up a 6 pack of Corona's (pretty much the only beer I like) and we headed over to a friend's house. I had 2 of the 6 beers, E drank the other 4. We had some shots of vodka and we were all having a good time. I wore a pair of red hot pants that I borrowed, but I was a little uncomfortable in them. I have to not eat for like 3 days before if I want to be able to sit down in those pants. Because they go so low down in the back and then my underwear shows, and bleh... But I had a good time, and then since E had more to drink than I did, I drove his car back to his place and I don't even know how I made it, since I was a little tipsy myself. I had fun, it was fun! Now I am going to bed. I have work tomorrow!

Wine & Dined

What a good day! I got 12 hours of sleep last night, and I am just all around in a good mood! E came over this evening and when he showed up he had a dozen roses. They are the nicest roses I've ever seen. They are peach colored. I asked him what Peach was supposed to symbolize, and he was like, each color has a symbolism and means something else? He's like, what does red mean? I knew that one, so I said, LOVE! And he was like, so these ones mean love too! He was so cute about it! So here is a chart, that I found, that tells you what the colors mean!

Color / Sentiment
Red .... Love, respect
Deep pink .... Gratitude, appreciation
Light pink .... Admiration, sympathy
White .... Reverence, humility
Yellow .... Joy, gladness
Orange .... Enthusiasm, desire
Red & yellow blend .... Gaiety, joviality
Pale blended tones .... Sociability, friendship

Along with the dozen roses there was a card, and a teddy bear (the cutest thing!) and a thing of Hershey Kisses. I swear, I am in heaven! That was the most romantic thing he has done for me in a while. I was impressed and it was totally out of the blue! The card said that he wanted to show that he cared about my semester in school and he was congratulating me on my successful semester. And for just like that! To wine & dine me. And that is totally ok with me! He swept me right off my feet! Like a true gentleman. We went to my favorite restaurant to celebrate and the meal was great and the dessert was even better. I love the sherbet things there. To die for! It's sherbet ice cream in any flavor they have on the menu that evening, and let's say you pick pineapple, which is the one I had (E had lemon, I hate lemons!) and so they scoop out the middle of the fruit itself, a mini pineapple is what i had, and the freeze the food. Then they scoop out that flavor ice cream (sherbet) and put it inside the correct frozen food. Then they stick the lid on, if there was, like on my pineapple, and they serve it to you. It's the cutest little thing. I've probably lost you! It's hard to explain. But it's the best dessert ever! After dinner, we headed over to the pool hall to play some pool. Tonight was a 10$ charge to get in, because there was some boxing game that was happening and we either could get a free drink or an hour free pool. So we each took a coupon for an hour free pool, and we used our hour then and I have one coupon in my wallet for next time. E kicked my ass in each three games we played. Then I just got bored of playing and so E wanted to stay and watch the end of the fight, so he ordered me another drink (another sex on the beach, i love those drinks) and I had one of those. Was it a good evening? Oh, yeah, it was a very good evening! I had fun. I like having fun. I wish everyday were like this...

Feeling Great

I just got over 12 hours of sleep again, 2nd night in a row, and I am feeling great! Also, on top of it, I just had a long chat with my mum and we haven't done that in a while, so that was good. Especially since I have been mad at her for a little bit, but now I think we're cool. For now, a little while, at least. I raided my sister's closet yesterday and tried on a couple of her pairs of pants. Pants that I never thought I'd ever fit in.. One of them are even too big! I guess I've lost some weight or something, which is totally ok with me, I am totally fine with that!! Hee hee! Giggle... So I was strutting around the house last night, in my sister's fake leather pants (they are plastic or something, plus, if they were real I wouldn't wear them, because I am a vegetarian and stand by my morals and values.) Anyhow, my sister is very tall and slim and I've always envied her for her gorgeous body. Grrr! Not fair, but now I fit into her pants, and that makes me feel better about myself! So yey!

Anyhow, I've got to go clean up my room and get some food into my tummy. E's coming over after he gets off work at 4pm (in 30 minutes) but with traffic (damn this city and their construction) he'll be here by 4:30-4:45 pm latest. So I've got plenty of time still. We've got reservations (YEY!) at my fave restaurant in my area, and we're going there at 7:30pm. I have no idea what we're doing after that. Something fun, I hope! We're going out to celebrate my successful semester at school! I love being rewarded. And I am wearing one of my sister's pants that she gave me (the ones I wore last night to work and out to V&B were red and plastic (I don't know if they were supposed to imitate leather or not) and they were hot pants. But those are my sister's and I just borrowed them! The ones that I am wearing tonight, are black dressy pants, but they make me look thinner than I am, and I like them, so they are hot pants too! They are too big on my sister so those she gave to me!! :)

Speaking of success in school, here's an update. (I've learned another mark!) So that bring me up to...

Dance ... 87% (that's my new mark that I got today!)
Creative Writing ... 84%
Art Lit ... 83%
Painting ... 82%
and
French and Autobiography are both still undecided! :( I am happy so far with the marks I've received. It's been successful so far! All above 80's!

More to come later, for sure.

Oops... Fell Asleep!

When I crawled back into my cozy bed, I fell back asleep. That's ok. I know I got a few phone calls, but I don't remember what they were all about.

I don't even want to go home tonight after work anymore. My mother is not being nice and causing this huge argument. That's ok, because she thinks she can talk to me like I am 4 yrs old, and I am not taking that bullshit. No way... I am of legal age, and have been for over a year and a half, and I hate this car curfew and telling me what to do business. Yes, ok, I know, I live under their roof, but still, I am of legal age, and I shouldn't have to deal with this. They just don't want to let go, and I hate that! Argh! I think maybe instead of going out drinking tonight, maybe I will come home and watch the movie The Patriot which I taped downstairs.

Speaking of which let me go get the tape before anyone touches the VCR.

... Ok, got it!

I am so aggravated right now. My mom put me in a very bad mood. But I love my parents with all my heart, so I don't know how that all applies. Argh! Frustration. When I go and get my allergy test, and it shows that I am allergic to dogs, let's say. There is no way in hell my mom is going to give up our dog. Our dog is her pride and joy. Her life. So does that mean I get to move out? But, I can't afford it on my own... so does that mean that I get a place paid for by my parents? Aww, that would totally rock! I could move into E's place, but I don't think a) he'd want me there at his parent's house, b) I don't think I'd want to move in there. It's ok to stay there once in a while, but for good? You've got to be kidding me! c) Maybe if I get a place of my own, E will spend some nights at my new place. I'd have to get a new bed. A nice huge bed. I'd love that. But I am dreaming in colour, so I know this is all not going to happen. I guess it's nice to dream sometimes~ But if I were to move out, I'd so be ready. Plus I'd love to live in town, where it's closer to school. See, now, I'd probably want to live alone. Cuz the only person that I'd want to live with, would be E, and I don't think his parents believe in pre-marital living together. Well, actually I know that his parents don't believe in pre-marital living arrangements. Not even if we were engaged. I think it has to be wedding night, type thing. That's what happened with his sister and her husband. They official moved in the night of their wedding. They slept in their new place that night, and their honeymoon wasn't til the following week I believe.

When I get married, I either want to leave right away for my honeymoon or be isolated from the world with my new husband for a day or two. I don't know why, it's just like that. I dream too much, I swear!

Anyhow, back to the real world. My mom is causing trouble with the date that we are going out as a family (with grandparents and all) for my sister and mother's birthdays. At first she wanted to go out the 23rd. And I was upset a tad, cuz that was my Saturday night. But then I kind of agreed to that, and she said well maybe on christmas day. I blew up at her, because Christmas Day I am going skiing. E may not have as many days as he thought off from work, and that's one day he for sure has. He promised me we'd go skiing once this winter, and that may be our only chance. Plus the fact that I am sleeping in town for 3-4 days that week, as E's parents will be out of town, and it's stupid for me to run back and forth. So I suggested maybe the 20th the Wednesday night, and she has to consult with my father. I hope it's that night. I'd rather go out mid-week to not ruin my plans for skiing. I haven't skied in a couple of years and I finally have someone who will take me, and I may have to cancel because my mom is being stubborn. There are so many other good days to go, and it's ridiculous already.

Argh... I am so irritated over the situation.... Emotionally yesterday was a good day. Today, is a very very bad depressed day. I am so aggravated with life, with things, and it's starting to piss me off. Argh! I feel bad about myself on days like today, and I just wish my life were different. I don't know. Today is just a bad bad day. I am going to go shower to let myself cool down.

Too Early For Me

I didn't get enough sleep last night, and already both my parents have called my line, waking me up to tell me..

Mom: "Wake up, when you hear the doorbell ring, please let Anna (our housekeeper) in. I am at the doctor's office, I wanted to get there early, it's nasty out there."

And my dad... who called from work, and still can't figure out why, because both my parents didn't need to call, but here's the jift of it anyways...

Dad: "Anna's coming soon, please let her in when she gets there, as your mother is out."

So I was like, yea, dad, I know that, mom just called...

I guess he was bored at work or something. Or just wanted to bug the shit out of me. Who knows. But what's annoying to me, is that the doorbell just could have woken me up, but no, they had to call me at 8:57 am and wake me, and Anna's not even here yet... and it's 9:36 am.

I could have and 39 + more minutes of sleep! Argh! That's almost an hour's more worth of sleep. That would have done me some good. But that's ok, I set a tape in the VCR in our den, to tape the movie The Patriot. That's the one with Heath Ledger (MMMmmm! Love him, love his accent) and Mel Gibson (Love him, love his eyes). I hate watching a movie straight off the TV, cuz you can't pause or go to the bathroom without missing something. So, that's why, I tape things, including TV shows, and watch them when I can fast forward commercials and pause for pee breaks! Ha! Got them there! They thought they'd be educating me with their products by their fancy commercials... Well, my friend, they are wrong. I don't watch their freakin' commercials!

I started another load of laundry. I feel like all I ever do is laundry. I have one more medium load to do after the one that is in. I am going to work probably anytime around 2-3pm today. I don't start technically until 5pm but I want to go in early and make a few extra bucks. Money is good! Especially since I didn't work last Thursday because I took off because of school papers that I had to write and hand in the next day.

Well at least so far I know that I passed 2 of the 3 things that I was working on. I still can't believe that my teacher never posted out my papers for me to retrieve them and she hasn't called, and I'd love for my marks. That would be sweet. But no, she's being a biatch.. argh! Whatever, I am never taking her as a teacher ever again! I am still in war with my timetable book. SO many classes that I want to take, but don't know when, or how or what... The few classes that I do want to take, conflict in times with one another. I hate that. It's so annoying. But that's ok. I will work around it. Chances are anyhow, it will come to registration time and the classes that I want to take will be full, so what use will that be. And I have to speak to my doctor to get me a not about Phys. Ed. Because I can't take anything to physical. I wouldn't be able to handle it. My asthma kills me sometimes. And the doctor's out there seem to be taking their sweet time to do anything about better treatment for me. Argh! I guess I just will have to bitch my way through to get what I need and deserve! If that's the way they want to play it...

Well I am going to crawl back into bed for a bit. Just one look outside will drive anyone back to bed! We must have gotten about 8-10 cm of snow over night. They were calling for 10 cm anyhow. I don't know how anyone in their right mind would want to leave their house on a day like today. Oh well... It's mad driving out there.

I Hate School Decisions & Martha Stewart

I can't sleep and the only thing that is on, is Martha Fucking Stewart. She pisses me off. She's all like, making this cake is so easy, as one two three, and yet it takes her the entire episode to figure out that it's already made by someone else. Seriously! Since I couldn't sleep, first I poured myself a bowl of Corn Pops. It wasn't so bad. I think they are a little old. I wonder how long the box was sitting in the pantry for. I am going to ask my mom to get Apple & Cinnamon Cheerios the next time she goes to the grocery store. I love that cereal. It's great!

And now I am sitting here drinking 7up Light and was going thru my table time for next semester. There are only a select few classes I want to take, and some of them conflict. But yet, I really want to take those classes, but can't. Argh. I wish they didn't conflict with the other ones I want to take. Why is deciding about school so freckin' difficult. That's going to keep me up all night. I just want to fall asleep, but can't.

I don't know how E is always falling asleep. I wish I knew!! I want the secret... So I am debating between Newspaper Writing and Children's Lit and Education In Transition and Drawing and Creative Expression and Collage. Because one of them won't fit the schedule with the other classes. So one of these I must delete. I will probably take out Newspaper Writing and do that in my last semester. There is no way I want extra stress next semester. I don't need that! And with Education in Transition (the only Humanities Class I want to take that is offered this semester) it conflicts with Drawing and Creative Expression but I really want to take a class with that teacher. I had her this semester for painting. She's the teacher I went to her house for her little party the other day, remember? (see one of Monday's Entries). She's an awesome teacher.

Ok, I am going to go sleep on it. It's 2:33 am and I should get some kind of sleep!

Childrens Lit, Ed & My Cozy Bed

What a good day I’ve had. And I think I am going to go to bed early tonight. I taped ED which was on NBC this evening and I am going to watch it and fall asleep. I am cold since I just had a long drive home from my boyfriends house (about a 30 minute drive as there was a bit of traffic due to an accident on the expressway) and I had some stuff to bring in from my car to the house, but brrrrr, is it cold out there. I chilled with my boyfriend a bit this evening, that was nice. We were cuddling and ... well the rest is none of your business!! Hee hee...

I downloaded the newest version of the Palm Pilot Desktop for my boyfriend as he saw it the other day on my computer and wanted it for his. So I did that for him. I don't know why he couldn't do it himself, but I guess he enjoyed watching me get frustrated at the computer and swear at it since it wasn't doing what I wanted it to. Maybe that turns him on... Who knows!!

I am debating on what classes to take next semester.. Different ones are offered each semester and I don't know which ones I want to take next semester, since who knows if they will be offered the semester after that. You follow? Anyhow, I don't know some of the teachers and want to inquire about them first... That is the way to go! I know that for sure I want to take children's literature and newspaper writing so that I can write for the college's newpaper. Under a pen name of course because I have a stalker at school. I will tell you about that another time. Not in the mood to type that story. I will type it out for you tomorrow, how's that? Well I am going to crawl into my cozy warm bed which is awaiting me!

Too Many Appointments To Make

So I went to school and picked up my timetable for next semester. I even found parking right in front and there was leftover money in the meter. So that was lucky. I went and checked to see if my teacher had posted my paper outside her door like she promised, but nope, it's still not there. Oh well, I am going to leave another message on her machine, that's not right of her to not leave my paper for me, like she had promised. Then I went to that appointment with the specialist for my asthma. I have to go for a pulmonary test on January 31st, 2001, no appointments sooner! And I have to go for an allergy test, but the doctor and his nurse weren't there today, so that appointment I have to make. I will call probably tomorrow, or something. I bet I won't be able to make an appointment for that until next year, either. And I have to go back to see this doctor in 6 weeks. Too many doctors and appointments to make! Argh! I hate running around...

So now I am back at my boyfriend's house, and his parents just got home. He's at work. I am going to go look at the tabletime and see how many classes I have to take next semester but don't want to, bleh! Later.

Morning Blues

I really don't want to leave my house, but I have to go down to school and pick up the course timetable book for next semester, what a bummer that is. That means I have to drive all the way downtown... And, I have an apt at 3:10pm with some doctor to see what tests I need for my asthma which is getting worse all the time, I feel it. But I just don't feel like leaving my house. I am so bored. I do nothing these days that school is now out. I am so bored with things. I find that I spend useless time surfing the web for nothing. I don't know, it's weird. I need to work out this winter break. Even if I have to force myself to do it, I am started to get even more depressed over how badly out of shape I am. I am depressed as it is, and I don't know why. I can't pinpoint the reason. And no one is helping me sort that out. I binge on fattening foods all the time now, and there isn't proper food in my house to begin with. I feel as though there is never any food in my house for me to eat, and the food that we do have takes millions of years to whip together, and I am not the best of cooks to begin with, so there is one of my problems.

My dance teacher is supposed to email me my mark before she takes off to Europe and I am very impatient, and I want to know my mark, so that's not helping any. She emailed me and told me that she is 27 hours behind work, and that she hasn't even gotten to the marks yet. Our dance class is her only class at school, and she works elsewhere the rest of her time. She's adorable :)

Anyhow, I've got to go get ready. I technically should leave in about 27 minutes to get going into town. I hope there's not bad traffic. I hate traffic. One of my largest pet peeves. I don't even want to leave my house. I just want to crawl back into bed. Grrr!

ps~ maybe tomorrow will be a brighter day. who knows?!

Depressed Is Not The Way To Be...

I have very depressed lately and I don't know what to blame it on. I am binging like mad on junk food and I am gaining weight because of it, I can feel it. I don't know what's causing it, and I want to get to the bottom of this all. That would be nice, once and for all. I don't know if is something that just happens at this time of the year. I remember getting very depressed last year at this time, but then again I was single and all alone. This year I have E, who doesn't really seem to understand. Oh well. Maybe one day he will catch on. I love him to pieces, I just wish men would get this stuff.

Argh... The worst is to leave me alone with my thoughts. That is so dangerous. Never do that!!! I am NOT suicidal, and NEVER will be, because I am afraid of pain. I would NEVER be able to do such a thing, and that's my thoughts and opinion on that... end of story... I don't know what I am going to do with myself this holidays. What is there to do. I don't feel like working extra hours because I dont' want to work anymore than I have to. I need a project to work on, something to keep me busy.

Feeling Good ... School is Over!

My french exam went pretty well. I am impressed with the way I handled myself during the exam. I was not stressed, nor was I doing the test in a rush so I could get out of there. I used to do that. Do an exam really quickly and not think things through. I guess that is why I didnt get good marks in those classes...That was the past, now is the future, and now it's time to move on! I went and got my art literature mark which was posted on the teacher's board right outside her office. It was just our student ID numbers and our marks. They don't post your name on there, and I think that's smart. Anyhow, my mark... is 83% and I am pretty impressed with that mark. While I was hoping I'd get around an 85% I can't complain!

On my way out of school, after my exam, I bumped into this girl I used to work with, Bree and we ended up going to East Side Mario's for lunch. I like that restaurant, it's fun. Anyhow, we had a good lunch, I was totally starving, hadn't eaten all day long, and I think I ate it too fast, because now my tummy aches... bleh! As we were leaving, Bree left her cell number and her email address on a napkin and now we just want to see if our cute waiter will call her or email her!! We'll see. I will keep you posted on that! She told me that she had never done anything as daring and out there as that, and I said there's always a first for everything. Life is definitely too short to avoid opportunities like that one!!

When I got home there was a message waiting on my answering machine from my creative writing teacher. I wasn't going to wait around school for hours to get my manuscript back (Because of the snow storm, I wanted to get home) so I left the teacher a message and he actually called me back in pretty good timing. Anyhow, I got my marks in his class, and they are, 80% on my final manuscript. So with my 80% on my mid-term portfolio and my 86% on my end of term portfolio, my final mark is now... drum roll please.... 84% I am surely doing good this semester! I want to go out this weekend to celebrate. I told E that I want to, and I think I may get my wish! :) Let's see if he uses any romantic energy and takes me out as a surprise :) If not, I know where I want to go...

So an update..
Painting ... 82%
Art Literature ... 83%
Creative Writing ... 84%
and...
Dance ... undecided ... hoping for 85% +
French ... took exam this morning ... hoping for an 80% +
Autobiography ... undecided ... hoping for a 65% +

Now I am at home, just chilling. I need some chill time. I think I am going to pick up a book shortly. Get some reading done!

Snow Storm

So many classes are canceled this morning, and it's not fair that my college never closes. Completely not fair!! I keep listening to the local radio station, but no, 23 cm of snow is not enough to cancel the exam.

I am at E's house right now. My exam starts in 2.5 hours and I am bored out of my mind. I've been up since 5:45 am, and that's when E left to work. I got up to go to the bathroom when he was just finishing up in the bathroom in the morning. I like leaving him little surprises, so I left him 2 last night. One by his toothbrush, so he'd get my note in the morning and another note in his lunch bag, so he'd get it when he took out one of his 3 sandwiches he made for his lunch. So thoughtful, I know :) See, the little things in life do count! After going to the bathroom, I got some water and then went back to bed. I cuddled up under the blankets, bbbrrr was it cold, and I drifted off into sleep for about an hour. After that, I just got up and started to get ready for school. There was no point in chilling in bed any longer...

I have to leave to get to school soon, since it's a mad mess out there on the streets. I hate when there is too much snow. A little snow is ok, but too much? Now, that's ridiculous...

Wish me luck! Exam time..

So Edgy, Don't Know Why...

I hit a little rough spot this evening. I don't know why, but I was feeling very insecure. Anyhow, E came in and held me and reassured me that he loves me and that everything's going to be ok. And now, I can't sleep! I hate it, sometimes I get really bad insomnia. GRRR!

Totally off subject...Here are some books I recommend.

Self Day

I went to bed last night at 5 am! I couldn't sleep. I ended up staying up and downloading programs for my palm pilot. Now I have some pretty nifty games on there! So I never have to be bored on the metro, at the doctor's office or in line, ever again! I downloaded some fun stuff like Tetris, and so forth! Some good stuff. I figured I may as well use my time productively and benefit from it :)

Today, boy did I sleep in! I mean, going to bed at 5 am and getting up early? You've got to be kidding me! And when I got up I did laundry and checked the mail! I got a pacakge in the mail from my friend in Texas! I love getting packages! This one had tons of Scooby doo things. I absolutely love scoobydoo. I got scooby doo socks and scooby doo stationery, and this gorgeous organizer, but unfortunately I've got my palm pilot and I like that system, so I am going to stick with my palm. Another other agenda I've gotten from school, never lasts the entire year. I never use them. Don't know why. I guess I am just not an organized person, but that's ok. That's one of my new year's resolutions. Did tons of laundry today. I had like no clothes left. I generally do laundry once a week. That's my usual routine. Clean underwear is always good!

Late afternoon I ended up at my teacher's house for her little party. She was so cute about everything. She supplied us with food, and alcohol (weird, I know) and the few of us that were there, we had a good time. We danced, talked, ate, and I ditched out early to get over to E's house. I didn't want to lie, but I told her I wasn't feeling so well. I didn't really want to stay any longer, I had been there for almost 3.5 hours at that point anyhow, and just wanted to crawl into bed and cuddle with my boy :) So that's just what I did. I gave my teacher the little gift I picked out for her, and that was the end of that! She told me that she needs me to help her out with her computer as soon as she gets back from working Club Med, she teaches art. I think that's awesome! So anyhow, she said she'd even pay me. Hey, sounds like a plan. I don't mind doing extra odd jobs to rake in some extra cash! :)

Now I am at E's, just chilling. I will write more later. I think we are about to eat dinner.

~Reasons Why I Love You~

Since it’s winter break for me, (almost, plus a French exam) I have plenty of time to do my arts and crafts. I started (and almost finished) the overdue scrapbook that I am making my boyfriend. I will be giving it to him tomorrow, as I am sleeping at his house again :) It’s just more convenient for my exam on Tuesday. Plus, I am going to my teacher’s house tomorrow for her little Party. I have no idea what that’s all about! Anyhow! For my boyfriend’s scrapbook, I wrote him a poem… It’s cheesy, and it rhymes and I suck at poetry, but it’s all good, and he will like it, so it’s all good!

Reasons Why I Love You
You’re fun to be with,
You’re sweet as can be,
You’re cute as a button,
And you love me.
You keep my secrets,
You make me laugh when I am sad,
You are smart and athletic,
You look sexy when you are mad.
You encourage me when I am frustrated,
You help me succeed and move on,
You remembered my birthday,
You know how to shake your bon-bon.
We can talk on the phone for hours on end,
You always give me wake-up calls,
You make me feel loved,
You even took me to Niagara Falls.

So I hope you like my little poem! It’s cheesy as hell I know! I’ve been meaning to finish his scrapbook up for over 2 months now, but school got in the way and came first, unfortunately!! I am presenting it to him tomorrow, along with a little gift. I am getting him, a frame and putting in this gorgeous picture of the two of us.

Anyhow, more later.. Just wanted to share my poem with you!
