So very Tired

I was initially planning to go to sleep at 2am because lately I haven't been able to get to sleep on time and have gained such an awful habit. Turns out I want to bed at 4am and had class to be at for 10am. How great.

There's just so much to do, and i'm just so nervous for so many things: for example, if I fail my CS100 final I fail the whole course and my exam taking skills are not exactly up to par...

I can't find much to say really... i'm just exhausted and want this to be over.

Waiting at the Tea Shop

Hii,

At this very second I’m sitting in the tea shop right across from my residence waiting for my friend Kathy to notice me here. It’s kind of busy so I don’t really blame her… that and she’s working in the kitchen. Why am I waiting for her do you ask? I’m waiting so we can work on some ARBUS, I was looking over her work and there’s something that’s bothering me really. Blah! It’s cold by the door. ): I also tried wearing heels out today and lol, it’s not that pretty. >3<

Sigh, as some of you may know I don’t have classes on Friday and during the weekend so it was kind of boring for the most part. I really need to get some new friends. I have been meeting people though through my Orientation Leader Training but they haven’t been sticking. Met two memorable people yesterday and I’ve been meaning to find them on facebook but you know… “No passes before classes”!!! It’s a rule I learned yesterday for orientation week… it basically means that you’re not allowed to really hit on people during the frosh week, until 8:30am Monday morning! Very detailed I know. It was exceptionally fun last training session I had “Diversity and Harassment.”

So it started at 7:00pm last night and it went until 9:30pm, I must say… it was boring for the first 2hours and 15minutes! I was dying at the back of the room just wanting to get out! We then played out scenarios to go over what we should and shouldn’t do in those situations and boy did my group get a nice one. The situation went something along the lines of this: You are alone with a first year student and they seem to be interested in you… What do you do? Being the lucky person I am I was nominated by the girls to be the 1^st year student interested in the leader. Also being lucky the cute guy was the leader. (; haha… It was so awkward trying to ‘flirt’… “So…umm… *obviously checking him out* how are you? What are you up to? So, yea, you look good in that shirt” (; hahahahaha! You had to be there to see it! I normally am horrible with standing in front of people and ‘performing’ but I got to say that I’m getting much better at not wanting to kill myself when I’m up on a stage. Proud?

I’ve been sitting here for I think an hour waiting for Kathy’s break… has she noticed me? I actually don’t think so… so I’m just going to type a bit more while I wait. Unless I get kicked out of course! Let’s hope not… *sending Kathy invisible love beams* maybe she’ll notice me now! Darn the tall-er people in the table right in front of me, maybe that’s why she can’t see me. ): *cough* I just choked on a tapioca pearl! Blegh.

Earlier today I was attempting to look for a job again. I applied to a Swiss Chalet right by my place, right behind the cemetery actually. It would be SO convenient to work there… cross your fingers for me please! Other than that it’s been a bummer looking for a job because people haven’t even replied to me, meaning that I haven’t even gotten an interview which makes me sort of depressed. Am I that incompetent? I also applied for a job here at the tea shop actually… that didn’t work out either which just kind of sucks. I don’t want to go to the grocery store for the summer… I just want to try something new! I was thinking of heading to Ottawa for the summer. Any opinions on that? I don’t know how I would do over the summer without my friends… and it’s not even promised that if I do apply to places in Ottawa that I would get a job. For some reason I really want to work at a restaurant and kind of feel what my mom went through when she was little. It’s an interesting concept I would love to try but haven’t gotten the opportunity.

Sigh… I think my toes are getting a bit numb. Ah! Why’d I get stuck with the table right by the door? Because it’s deadly busy in here. I’m starting to feel bad about just sitting here. But I’m a customer too right? I still have a…. third left in my tea.

I recently lost the cord to connect my camera baby to the computer hence the lack of pictures. >: I ordered something online and I hope mommy gets it soon… (on a side note… omg, I just saw this guy walk in with a yo-yo!) It’s a small trinket really that reads SD cards, or so it says it does. It was only a dollar so I say that if it doesn’t work out it’s not a huge loss. It’s sad that I haven’t been able to upload any pictures because I took a lot of … food of course! A couple of pictures here and there and even some of myself lol.

The end of the semester is coming up and I’m getting more and more nervous about my grades… can you really blame me? I’ve a nervous person. I have a self portrait to paint and wow… am I not ready for something like that. I’m supposed to impersonate another artist! If I like it I’ll show you a picture… once I figure out my camera of course! There is one more Computer Science assignment which is due on Monday… Arts and Business which is due in less than 2hours… (midnight tonight and I still haven’t caught Kathy’s attention)… Developmental Psychology bonus mark assignment due on Wednesday… Art History final on Thursday… Studio self portrait is also due on Thursday and just painting myself kind of puts me off and I haven’t really gotten to it yet.

Question: Why are people getting slushies when it’s freezing out?! It just doesn’t seem to make much sense to me really. I wonder if it tastes a lot better than normal tea? I’m thinking I’ll stick with my normal tea and save myself from the inevitable brain freeze. (: Darn it! More people are coming in and I swear they’re staring at me! Arghhhhh! Kathy! Save me! I love you! D: I’m debating giving up but our assignment is on the line! Ohh… the food looks good. Great work Kathy (‘: Damn, she was right there! AHHH! Kathyy! Not to be obnoxious or anything…. I want to just get up and wave my arms but that wouldn’t be very lady-like would it? The big group is leaving… now I don’t feel bad… *staring at Kathy… lovebeamslovebeams!* Give me a break would you?! D:

I’ve started packing up my stuff to bring back home. Slowly and surely I’ll get it done. But it’s getting hard to prioritize what stuff I really want to keep with me. Stuff like clothing and some random books I brought up at the beginning of the year. Some shoes that I don’t really wear, the stuff I have seems to be never ending. I really need to find a job to pay for this stuff I’m buying. ): Thinking about buying stuff, the next thing I want to buy are Lady Gaga tickets for July, but I can’t seem to get them off of ticketmaster and I’m weary of buying them from another source. The thing is that I don’t want to miss another one of her concerts. I missed her first round of the Monster Ball Tour and this is her second run. I want to see it so badly! I loved her music video for Telephone it was very interesting I must say. 1341 words as of… five words ago? I really need to get a move on. I could be doing something more productive right now? … ABBA’s playing right now in the store… haha… just got changed to some…other…song… 1-2-3-4-uno-dos-tres-quatre…blahblahblah. Sound familiar? There’s this cute little girl kicking her legs to the music… so cute.

It’s slowly slowing down… I hope my waiting will be over soon. Unless she’s on her break right now and I don’t even know it? I lost sight of her a while ago. o3o

I need to go to the bathroom soon after this huge tea (haha, and here I thought I would be bringing some home) I’m going to head home soon.

Really long post, I apologize,

Alice In Wonderland

Hey,

So this weekend started off with the Charity Ball. I went with Jae, and only Jae... which resulted in a very very boring dance. Lol, I wish I had convinced Kathy and Cindy to go. However, it did give me a chance to wear my gothic loli dress that I got over the summer. I really like it, I think I'll find an excuse to wear it on a regular basis. Anyways, since the dance felt a bit like prom :S... cept for the fact that neither of us knew anyone. So, we left early and ended up going to Marble Slab. It is so good!! I love that place :) even though Jae said the guy gave us too little, I thought it was fine. Haha.

After that, we went back to my place... hmm... and after that, we headed back to his place. And we did not sleep ;_;... I had Arbus Assignment#3 due the next day and Erika wanted the text book back by one in the afternoon... so I started this thing at like 3 and finished at 10... with a couple of distractions along the way... but other than that, I worked pretty well. Since I finished early I decided to submit it early too... but when I went home Erika tells me she has the answers~!!! Ahh, curse my luck. The only time I decide to submit it early... and this happens. I am not a lucky girl I tell you. Well, too late now, I think I got most questions right anyways? Jae didn't sleep all night either, he had to go to a Konnect retreat on the weekend, and he was responsible for a presentation which he hadn't finished. He wasn't even finished when I was... and now he's still sleep deprived... poor thing *hugs* I hope he's sleeping.

Friday, I got a ride back to Toronto with Uncle Felix. I dragged back a ton of my winter clothing, and now my room is practically naked. The walls are bare, I lack magazines, clothes, and yaoi manga. Yes, naked.

Saturday, I went to P-mall for Kosa's thing. I was not prepared for the weather I was facing. It was snowing... and cold... and windy, and I decided it was a good weekend to bring back neither a coat or a pair of pants! What is wrong with me? My gosh... I have to start checking the weather. Honestly. I think I've learned my lesson. We went to watch Alice in Wonderland after that. I quite liked it. It wasn't spectacular, and there were bits in which I found myself being bored, but the graphics were nice. The chesire cat was quite cute and I really liked the design for the red queen. I found it strangely appealing, I want to cosplay her... Haha... though I don't think I'll ever get around to it, I'll consider in my head.

There were 12 of us that went for the movie. I finally got to meet Andy, and he does not look like how I imagined. However, he seems nice and laid back, he even let me mooch his drinks ;) I have a feeling we'll get on just fine. I got to talk to Julie a bit, I'm pretty worried about her though, I keep having to hear things from a third source. *sigh* Tia told me some stuff too, and apparently Nat and Chrissy got drunk over the weekend. Why doesn't anyone tell me these things? Meh.

We went to Go For Tea, after the movie, and I sat next to Michael, Mishie and Rachie. I could hear Mishie and Rachie talking about the programs they were in, and let me tell you do I feel inadequate. They do so much... and I barely have class X3 I should be worried for myself... I really should... Blargh. I didn't get home until close to three. Thank for the ride, Michael!

Sunday... was tiring... grocery shopping... big bang theory... home.

I should pay attention to my prof. now~

The Weekend is over and the week begins

Starting from the weekend.... the weather was absolutely horrible. It made all of us (Ron, Kosa, and I ) pretty tired >: But now it's extremely warm and sunny. I have started to wear my shorts around. (: It's too bad I have a bruise on my knee from hitting corner of my door with my knee. It hurts just a tad when i'm walking around... Well the weekend in a nut shell was sleeping, eating, cooking, shopping... yea. It was fun but I wish we actually did something birthday-e for Pookie because it was his birthday on Monday.

There was a CS100 assignment due this week and my brother came up to my place two days in a row just to work on it. It wasn't even as long as previous assignments! Fed him twice though... with Apple Pie for dessert both times! Yum... I swear i'm going to get fat. ): I was thinking of starting to run but it turns out I gave my Dad some stuff two weeks ago and my work-out clothes were in there. Hahaha. I still have yet to use them. I'm also waiting for a response from my brother on whether he's going up to Toronto this weekend because I want to go, but not by buying a Greyhound ticket cause I bought a round trip just last week. Pookie's going to be celebrating his birthday this weekend by watching Alice in Wonderland so I hope I can make it!

Today i'm wearing a new shirt and my shorts again. But because of my dressing up I was a few minutes late for a psych study... But it was a brush of good fate that I missed mine because I ended up just joining a different study with a $100 gift card draw. (; Lucky day. Short, sun, and the possibility?! But that possibility may go to waste because of my general bad luck... lol *knockonwood I'm currently waiting for my class to start in the Modern Languages Building and got myself a half-coffee-half-hot-chocolate... and I put in 5 sugars. I can't really stand it otherwise lol. We'll see if my luck is superb today... i'll see if I win something with Roll up the rim to win. I won one thing out of many cups... and that was another cup of coffee.

There's a tour going on behind me lol... and the tour guide is like... if you want there's even Tim Horton's here (when he was saying this was a good place to study.) (: I like this guy already. Michelle my roommate has a lot of tours this week so i've been trying to avoid my place because it is just so awkward with people you don't know staring at what you're doing... trust me it's happened. Maybe i'll go find somewhere to sit outside i'm starting to get a tad bit bored in here... but I guess outside won't do me much better. Nothing to do! Ah!

Tonight's plans are to paint myself a portrait and work on and ARBUS assignment... yay me.

6th Month

Wow,

I have not blogged in a really long time. I'm so sorry, Becca~!! I've actually been seeing Jae a ton. We're still in our "lovey dovey" phase :) and I must say it's really nice. I'm a bit worried for Jae though, my program is a piece of cake, so spending so much time together doesnt really affect me, but him on the other hand... *sigh* I worry.

Me and Jae just passed our 6th month anniversary~! *Yay* I must say, for a while I thought we'd never get here. It wasn't even that long ago... but we've had so many complications. I'm so glad everything has worked itself out. Time fixes everything. It really does. Hehe~ my cutie is in Toronto atm, which is why I'm blogging actually. Lol, that and Kosa and Ronald are over :) and Becca is at an interview to become an Arts frosh leader.

Jae took me to sushi, it was really really quiet O.o... and the place closed at 9... and it was downtown!!! Lol, it was just really different from Toronto I guess... and on a side note, it turns out that it was only our 5th month. Lol, thanks Nat, for ruining my nicely planned out thing... I feel a bit guilty now, haha, sorry sweetie!!!

Neways,

I will try to blog regularly again!!

Look forward to it :)

Marianas Trench Concert!

Holaa,

This week has been such a pain in the butt with so many assignments and such... i'm so glad it's over... I went to Toronto yesterday for just about 17hours! I went back purely for the Marianas Trench concert at Massey Hall. I went with my friend Wilfred and we were super close!

I got some nice pics with my camera as well as some video (shh!) Wilfred got chewed out by one of the 'authorities'. He brought a camcorder with photo features but the guy thought he was taping it... and going to then sell the video at Pacific Mall! (lol I don't know but that's what we thought.)

My baby surprised me with some quality video and had loads of fun.

I'm now back in Waterloo. Woke up late (6:10am) for the bus and made Pookie and Ronald wait 30mins (sorry!) >: . But we got there 5 mins early! We have done nothing very productive today... just went grocery shopping. Kathy and Jae are coming to dinner (I love how I figure this out muchmuchmuch later than I would prefer =3=) Lee really needs to cook, cause then she can panic about feeding enough people... This happens very frequently if you can't tell. lol. Oh well... i'm scared of her cooking so it's okay.

Fill you in more later this weekend!

Paris trip and other things

Hii,

Rawrrr, so my Mommy just booked the trip to Paris! I'm getting so excited! It's for April 23rd-May1st... I can't wait...! We're going to go with two of my aunties, I hope I can stand them... hehe I joke. (: I have never been out of... this side of the world and am looking forward to seeing a brand new place! The problem is that my French skills are veryveryvery below par >: I don't think i'll last. Hopefully they understand some English over there! I wonder what the guys in France look like? (; lol! I think i'll just be taking in all the history instead thank you. My Mom scared me a bit with a story about when she went to France when she was younger. Something about... flashers.... and pick pockets. D: I hope nothing happens... If something does happen Mommy will protect me <3

I'm looking at my Psych class stuff and my professor mentioned something brand new! Turns out we can hand in a paper for 5% bonus marks... only if you do well, you either get the 5% or 0%! But adding it all together, I can receive up to 9% bonus marks! This is because the psychology department has experiments where the students can participate to gain marks, 0.5 marks for each half hour of experiments you participate in. You have to do a mix of online surveys and in building experiments. I have almost all of my credits so I will soon have 4% extra! Yay!

Painting class is going decent but this weekend I took advantage of the DC++ system and watched a ton of movies. ;_; ... so that means I have to catch up and paint like mad tonight. So I can study for Psych all of tomorrow! 3 Paintings in one night...? Ehhh? Oh goodness. >: I think i'll be awake all night tonight.

On Thursday is when the Marianas Trench concert is in Toronto with Wilfred! I have to leave Waterloo after class and go straight to Toronto. As well as go back to Waterloo the day after because my friends are coming up and sleeping over. I decided to try to catch the 7:15am bus... the morning after the concert... what am I thinking?! Getting to Waterloo earlier and sleeping on the bus lol. It's just easier that way. I think i'll be able to wake up at 5am, i've done it before... Last year when I procrastinated homework for grade 12. There is a surprisingly large amount of stuff you can accomplish in the morning. If only I can get up earlier in the mornings... I guess I just shouldn't stay up late at night hahaha.

Love-love,

- Rebecca

Ehhh?

Hii,

I think you've noticed that we haven't been posting much lately, my apologies. It's just that not much has been happening... more projects, more due dates, which in turn makes everything much much much less interesting. >:

Hrmmm.... On Monday it's my brother's birthday and i've been seeing him a lot over the past few days. Went grocery shopping, had lunch with him once by myself, and had lunch with him once with my Daddy-Lamsky. o3o I went grocery shopping 3 times this week! *lovelovelove* hahaha.... so much food in my fridge! Nyah!

So yesterday my Daddy came up and we went for Swiss Chalet for dinner because that's where we were going to go. Grandma likes it there. (: But she didn't come up for some reason. Maybe she hates us!? D: *i'mjokingIswear!* We then went to Conestoga to get Andrew some new runners and it turns out that it was buy one get one half off, so Dad got a pair as well. I never thought I would say this: but waiting for my Dad and Brother try on shoes is so boring... I feel their pain! Ahh!

So I got home with some newly bought groceries and noticed someone had drunk some of my milk! They left a carton with 3 drops left! The bastard! D:<>

I'm listening to some Metric because I got their albums and now I have to start painting because I procrastinated just a tad.... Love you! >:

Mommy visiting

Heyy,

I recently texted my mom telling her I missed her and she was "Did you want me to come up?" ... Awwwwwww! I love her! So she did, on Sunday for lunch with my sister. She brought me some food I forgot to bring up last week: cream cheese and spicy tuna (awesome awesome awesome!), and we went grocery shopping to! I love how this all revolves around foods. (:

We went to eat at ... Oliver and Bonacini at Conestoga mall for this 3 course meal... I'm drooling just thinking about it now! (Pictures with descriptions later) (Note to self: get a bigger screen whenever posting pics lol)

• Shrimp Pate
• Tortilla salad (Iceberg lettuce, black beans, avocado...)
• Mushroom soup
• Fish and Chips
• Hungarian Goulash
• Mushroom pasta
• Coffee cake with Apple?
• Toffee cake

Nomnomnomnom. Yummy. (:

There has been a lot of stress lately with major declaration and such, but the stress is mostly over! I had to hand in my portfolio on Friday and had to wait to see if I could major in Fine Arts Studio yesterday. I had to find my student number on a list. I didn't see it the first time and was so depressed but looked again just in case and found it! Thank goodness! I'm trying to achieve a Teaching Preparation Specialization as well as a Digital Arts Communication Specialization. My schedule is going to be jammed packed and I have to make sure I don't mess up ANYWHERE! Here comes the stress again... ehhhh.... The problem is that I don't think I can handle so much art history, today we watched a silent, black and white film in a whole-nother language... I don't even know what language it's in. It is though, pretty interesting for the most part. It was about... ships and then there's like... uproars and stuff. Did you know that back then there were such things as headshots?! The hero got head-shotted and I was stunned! I could just imagine someone in the background "HEADSHOOOOTTTT" I have no life, honestly.

Rawrr... a new revelation: caffeine has hardly any effect on me (at least when it comes to coffee) because I was falling asleep during that film heh.... ):

Oh! This morning someone came in to fix some stuff in our place, the sink was broken for the longest time and supposedly they fixed the thermostat? My room has been a sauna for the past few months even with the window open 24/7 with all the cold winter air coming through. Hope it was fixed properly so I can sleep in peace. (:

Until next time,

- Rebecca
