Hello hello!

These last few weeks at school have been particularly insane. Luckily now, midterms are over and all I have due is a term paper (...which I should maybe be working on now).

Nicole and Helen came up to Ottawa from home on Halloween, and we had a pretty good time! We went to Casino du Lac Leamy (in Quebec) on Friday- Sam won a ridiculous amount of times while won $0.15 (which I then gambled away). We also saw a rather intoxicated young man from Carleton University running up and down the road in front of the casino barely wearing pants. He was escorted away by four security guards. It was a very interesting night.

On Halloween, we went to Le Bop, a club in Hull. I was a pirate! Helen was Batman Woman (NOT Batgirl, not Batwoman, not Batman. BATMAN WOMAN), Nicole was Alice from Alice in Wonderland, Sam was a bunny (not a Playboy bunny, a regular bunny) and Whitney was classy in her 'old man sweater' and painted-on facial hair (I do believe she called her costume the 'GQ MOTHERFUCKER').

I've got to run to class (Criminology! Four to seven!) but I hope you're all doing well. :)

Sam and I were watching Hoarders. At commercial break, the new Volvo commercial came on.
 

...Starring Edward Cullen.

My reaction was something between shock and 'Bahahaha'. The What Drives Edward website is here. Augh.

In attempt to delete a secondary Livejournal today, I deleted THIS journal. I changed what user I was working as and everything. >:(
 

Luckily everything seems okay. Thank god for the undelete button.

Today is day three of the four day weekend I have this week (I don't have classes on Thursdays, and Friday was uOttawa Day...which we got off) and, though I do like to sleep, I feel really lazy and unproductive. I would rather have gone to class, actually! =P I'm finished 2/3 midterms and one paper, so the workload isn't too bad yet...I have my Criminology midterm on Friday which, we have been warned, will be kind of massive, so I am a little nervous!
 

We got our winter exam schedules earlier this week: I have exams December 9, 11, 12, 15...and 22. Sam and Whitney are done theirs earlier than I am, so I will be here alone for a week or so...I am kind of bummed. I guess I can get lots of studying done uninterrupted, though :)

Also: my floor is insane. I am a little afraid of them. They still don't quite know we exist, what with us being at the end of the hall and all, so whenever one of them drunkenly wanders past and sees our room, it's like they've made an Earth-shattering discovery. It's pretty entertaining, actually.

I am going to go and try to do something productive. Maybe I will have interesting things to talk about soon. I hope you guys are all doing well! :)

 ETA: I'm sure some of you guys have seen this story already, but I had to post it here because it made me mad:

"I'm not a racist. I just don't believe in mixing the races that way," Bardwell told the Associated Press on Thursday. "I have piles and piles of black friends. They come to my home, I marry them, they use my bathroom. I treat them just like everyone else."

ALL I WANT TO DO IS GO TO BED!!!!!

I feel like I have been awake forever D:

Well, I've been living at university in my dorm/apartment thing for about a month now (as of two days ago, I think!). We have the suite style (two bedrooms, little kitchenette, bathroom) and so far, things have been good living in residence. We believe that the majority of the people on our floor are second year, though, and they all know each other already D:

Our apartment is still taking a bit of getting used to, I have to say. Every time something goes wrong we attribute it to a ghost, which is probably not the most logical thing to do (our building is only four or five years old, too, and as far as I found through Google, nothing has happened here. =P Yeah...we were scared enough to Google). Today smoke was coming into my room through the vent (which would be keeping my room warm if the heat were on. We still only have air conditioning)- I thought it was Sam, so I knocked on her door and asked her to cover her vent so it wouldn't keep coming into my room. She was sleeping, therefore...not smoking anything. My entire room smelled like marijuana. I think I'm going to blame that on our loud-upstairs-night-owl-neighbours, though. :)

I've been meeting people through classes, though: Adrianna in Criminology, Pascale in Reasoning & Critical Thinking, Tori in Spanish Culture...Not a whole lot of people, I guess. There is also a girl in my Literature and Composition class that goes everywhere barefoot. She sits next to me in class and is pretty nice, but I don't know how she does it. It poured rain today, there is mud everywhere, and the temperature hardly got over thirteen degrees celsius. I don't know whether to be impressed or concerned, honestly.

Speaking of Lit and Comp, my professor is awesome (though he reminds me a little of Tobias on Arrested Development in some aspects). I really look forward to going to that class. There's only forty two people,  so it's much easier to actually hear the discussion and participate in it (not that I have...yet. Heh).

The thing I am most excited about is coming home!!!! It's a little after 2 AM here, which means it is technically Thursday- so I come home tomorrow, on Friday! Sam's aunt and uncle are driving in to get us, and my parents are driving us back Monday morning, after Thanksgiving. I'm really happy to get back to Cobourg (...surprise)! I think this is the longest I've ever gone without seeing my family and, while it kind of sucks, I think I've gotten used to living kind of on my own.

Thursday is Sleep Day (no classes for me!) so I'm going to go get a head start. I will see all you Cobourg/Northumberland County people this weekend.

Tonight I am in a terrible mood, so I am staying in my room so I don't bitch at everyone, but I feel like even more of a bitch for being antisocial and grumpy and stuff.

>:(

 I hate how I keep letting one little thing ruin my entire day. Saying the wrong thing or doing the wrong thing isn't the end of the world; someone disliking me isn't the end of the world. I keep telling myself this, over and over, but it doesn't seem to change anything.

Ok, so Sam and I are maybe 60% (Sam says we should go with 75%) that our dorm apartment room thing is haunted or some shit- which I know sounds ridiculous, but honestly, we're a little freaked out D: I think it's just that we've only been here for a week and a half and we're not used to the setting and our surroundings but...in case I am killed by the ghost of a terrifying, sleep-deprived Civil Engineering student, you heard it here first.

In other news, I woke up this morning sick. I am running a fever and sound like Darth Vader when I talk (not all cool-like, more evil-like). I've been wandering around from class to class looking dazed and trying not to infect people. I want some soup.

I'm going to go to sleep for a bit, then to my residence floor meeting. Night.

Went to work, attempted to pack, ate cake, still not done packing.
I'm supposed to be moving out tomorrow morning at 10.

Today was not a very good day. :|

Stephenie Meyer was accused of plagiarizing another author's work in Breaking Dawn.

...So there is, potentially, another book out there that is JUST. LIKE. BREAKING. DAWN.

No thank you.

Just got off the phone with a lovely woman who declared, 'You are so ugly, I am going to give you a bad review!' (she said she was a travel agent or writer or something) when I told her that our campground was full for the weekend and that, no, I could not rent her someone's condo because (a) we are not involved with the renting of anything but campsites and (b) people live in those condos. 'You are so ugly' is like a second grader's insult, but 'I'm going to give you a bad review' is new to me. I like it. I look forward to using it.

To conclude: we've been dealing with quite a few crazies tonight...

I was reading the paper this morning and, as I read this article, I could feel myself getting mad. Looking at the comments on Mr Corcoran's blog made me madder.

Gaaaaah.

Morning of fail:

In an attempt to wave back to one of my co-workers, I tripped over my foot, then over the stool in my office, and then tripped once again and spilled my iced tea over my desk.

Yeah.

Graduation was on June 25 and now...high school is done! It feels like it went by so fast; I still feel like I'm in tenth grade.

Things have been pretty busy lately (holy crap, it's July already). I still have to do OSAP and work out my university budget, and shop, since between Sam and I we only have six plates, a Magic Bullet, and a crock pot (and maybe a convection oven). We move in to our dorm room on September 6, and I leave Cobourg September 5. D:

Two of the seasonals at the campground are in the hospital. Mr Pritchard either is out now or gets out of the ICU tomorrow, and Mr C will be back in a few weeks. It changed the atmosphere completely. Twenty five of our sites are seasonal couples, and they're all friends; everyone is really worried (and I'm a little freaked out myself).

It sounds a little strange but my work could easily be a sitcom (it would probably get cancelled but, still. A sitcom). Some of the stuff that happens is just so ridiculous or random that I can't really believe it's happened- and half of the people we get there seem fictional (I love my job- I'm making more money than I did at Subway and I don't go home smelling like bread, plus I get to talk to people for most of the day). I wish I could take a videocamera around with me during the day just to show what goes on...because no one believes me. ;) It's just an environment you have to see for youself; it's a little town within our little town!

My Friends page seems a little dead lately (I'm one to talk, though; ha). I hope you're all doing well and having a good summer :)

Good night!

I've been watching organizers  since January, but I'm too intimidated to post my own planner- it hardly compares to the ones on there (you guys think I'm crazy? Go see these). On a related note: I was wondering if anyone knows of a program similar to iCal (though obviously not as good) for Windows XP? The only thing I have is Microsoft Works Calendar and I can't say I care for it.

Prom pictures and party pictures whenever I get around to it.

Happy June :)

Prom is on Saturday! I can't believe how I've gone from 'FUCK YOU I HATE PROM' to 'Hooray prom'. T_T I'm quite excited, though. I bought my shoes yesterday and finished my shopping today.

In other news, SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE IS STARTING NOW AND I CARE MORE ABOUT IT THAN I DO ABOUT PROM.

I'll update soon. =/
