Finally Relaxing

Hello!
Now that all of my exams are over and my end of term papers are finished, I finally have time to write.
My first exam went okay, I think, and my second one went really well. I wish I could say the same for my papers. I'm pretty confident about my English essay. However, my Philosophy paper could have been way better. I did not put that much effort into it, unfortunately.

Anyways, I'm doing pretty well, considering everything. Today, I was really brave. I went shopping with four friends.. all guys. Can you imagine how interesting that was? I definitely had fun, though.

This week will be pretty hectic. I'm working from 9 to 9 tomorrow. Then, Tuesday, I'm off but probably going to the concert at the elementary school where I work. Then, Wednesday, I work 3 - 9, Thursday 11-6 and Friday 10-6. I'm not exactly looking forward to that last one. It is on Christmas eve, after all. Oh well, at least I'm going to be off on New Year's Eve.

I'll be writing again soon,

So Much for Holidays

I really don't know what I was thinking. I was looking forward to right now because I would finally be on Christmas holidays. But, boy was I wrong. I have two exams next week, and two projects to do for Tuesday. It doesn't even feel like a break. Oh well.

Now, I have a question for all guys: Why do you guys feel the need to show a stone cold exterior when you have the girl, then, when you don't anymore, you finally show your feelings? Another question, and I'm sure this isn't all of you but it definitely applies to some of you: Why can't you just let go? I don't understand! My ex-boyfriend and I broke up at the beginnig of September, remember? Yesterday, four months later, he sent me a letter saying how he "still feels the same about me, and really wants to show me how much he cares. He's changed and  and wants to be with me." Then, he closed the letter with, get this, "there are three little words that I'd like to put here but I won't use those just yet.." JUST YET??? Are you kidding me? Some of you might say: well are you leading him on or something? Not even close. I deleted  and blocked him from MSN, Facebook, everything. I don't even have his number in the contacts of my cell phone. I don't know how to make it any clearer to him. It's been 4 months, like really?

Anyways, moving on. I have a cold. I am so sad about this. It's really bad timing too, because I have projects and studying to do. It's gotten right in my lungs and really hurts.

But enough complaining. I'd like to officially apologize to my little sister for keeping her up late last night when she had school this morning. I hope you did well on your Anatomy test! We honestly spent 1 hour, 59 minutes, and 50 - some seconds on the phone last night. Then, when I hung up and saw that, I called her back right away. When she answered, I was expecting to hear "what do you want now?" But no, I absolutely love her!! She said "You saw that too?" No one else in the whole world would have said that. I love it.

On the agenda for today:
-wrapping Christmas gifts
-homework
-library
-hair appointment that isn't mine, ahaha
-shopping
-and at some point in the day: STARBUCKS
I am completely addicted to Starbucks, it's not even funny!

Have a great day, everyone!

Okaaay, So I Give Up

Hey
So, being a University student has its pros and cons. One con is that I really don't have time to keep up with a daily posting challenge. I will definitely try again during the summer, but for now, I will simply be posting when I have the time.
With my "challenge", I haven't been posting much about my life.  So tomorrow, or possibly Wednesday, I will devote some time to writing.
Until then,

Day 16 - Your View on Homosexuality

Okay, so I've been really, really, really busy and I'm really, really sorry I've been neglecting this. Anyways, my view on homosexuality? I'm okay with it! It's not the way  I roll, but I have no problem with those who do. Some people say "it's okay as long as I don't see it". In my opinion, that's prejudice because I feel that it should be that way with any public display of affection, straight or gay. Therefore, I do not share that opinion.
Anyways, until tomorrow,
XXOX, J.

Day 15 - Something You Don't Leave the House Without

MY CELL PHONE.
I never, ever, leave the house without it, and if I accidently forget it, I usually go back and get it. Some calls are very important and it would be a shame to miss them. Also, I like that my friends can reach me no matter what.

Day 14 - A TV Show that You're Currently Addicted to

Well, for those of you who know me, you know that I become obsessed with TV shows really easily. Right now though, it's One Tree Hill. I have recently restarted watching the whole series. I have actually just finished watching the season finale of Season 1 yesterday.  So soon, I will be on to Season 2. It's just such a good show. However, I must admit that I prefer the earlier seasons because I am a big fan of Lucas and Peyton. I hate that they sort of just fell off the face of the earth. It makes me sad.

Day 13 - Your Views on Drugs and Alcohol

Drugs: NO
Alcohol: YES

Day 12 - Your Current Relationship Status

My current relationship status? H-A-P-P-Y ! I'm single and I'm actually really enjoying it. I'm enjoying that I don't have to qualify my time with anyone: I can hang out with whoever I want, whenever I want, no questions asked. It's nice to have complete control of your own life. I could go on and on about this topic but I won't, for those of you who haven't lost faith in love...

I've Been Neglecting This!

Hey! I'm really sorry about my negligence. I've just been having a really, really, really bad week. Wednesday, I should have posted, I didn't really have an excuse. Yesterday, however, was the sixth month anniversary of my friend's death. A few friends and I went over to the lot where the accident happened and where his memorial site is, to visit him. It was a really hard day.
Anyways, I'm going to stop slacking now, and get back to my challenge. Please excuse my absence!

Day 8 - A Song to Match Your Mood

Well, I've been going through a lot of moods lately, so this is sort of difficult. I've been sad, lonely, depressed, happy, excited, etc. However, I think I'm going to have to go with the song "Like a G6" by Far East Movement, just because I've been having a lot of fun lately. Plus, my 19th birthday is in like sixty days and that excites me =)
Another song that could possibly match my mood is "Young and Stupid" by Hedley.

Day 7 - Your Dream Wedding

This is interesting! Six months ago, I could describe every single detail of my dream wedding. However, now, I'm not so sure. Therefore I will describle the few things that I know I will want at my wedding for sure:
- Colors: black and white
- Location: church in my hometown
- Music: DJ
- Time of the year: Fall
... And that's about it for now. Sorry it's not more interesting.

Day 6 - A Picture of an Animal You'd Like to Keep as a Pet

I'd love to be able to keep a polar bear as a pet. It's so cute, and looks like it would be cuddley :)

Day 5 - How Important you Think Education is.

Well, being a first year University student, I'm officially confused. Our whole lives, we're preached that education is important. It is, don't get me wrong. Education is going to get me to where I want to be. However, I think I've sort of given up on the whole institution of education. How is it that we bust our asses to get into University only to realize it's a big joke once we get there. Classes go from one extreme to another. Either, they are extremely hard and there's no amount of studying that can help you get a good grade. I've been told that this is because the professor wants to "crack" us and see who really wants to be there. Then, you have classes that are so easy and that the three hour OPEN BOOK exam that you have in that class takes you 45 minutes to write.
Anyways, I think I'm ranting.
I do think that education is important, clearly, since I want to become a teacher. I think that my faith in the institution just needs to be restored a little bit. Maybe I should pay a visit to my favorite teacher from high school...

Day 4 - A Recent Picture of You and Your Friends

I don't really have like a group picture so I'll post a few pictures from reading week:

Please note that I do not dress like that, three of these pictures were taken at my Halloween party. XXOX, J.

Day 3 - Your Idea of the Perfect First Date

This is a tough one. I actually think that my idea of the perfect first date is getting surprised. I'd love to do something really cool and fun, but something that I'm not expecting.
XXOX, J.

Day 2 - Your Favorite Movie

I have two favorite movies. The first one is probably the cheesiest most predictable chick flick in the world but I love it. It's called Drive Me Crazy and stars Melissa Joan Heart and Adrian Grenier. The other movie has got to be the funniest movie ever made: Fired Up. I cannot get enough of that movie, and, the gag reel is like twenty times funnier.
I strongly recommend these movies. However, I do not suggest that you watch them with me since I know every line and will probably annoy you by saying them along with the movie.
XXOX, J.

Day 1 - Your Favorite Song

My all-time favorite song is Keep on Loving you by REO Speedwagon.  I first heard it on my all-time favorite movie: Drive me Crazy. Here are the lyrics:

You should've seen by the look in my eyes, baby
There was somethin missin
You should've known by the tone of my voice, maybe
But you didn't listen
You played dead
But you never bled
Instead you lay still in the grass
All coiled up and hissin

And though I know all about those men
Still I don't remember
Cause it was us baby, way before them
And we're still together
And I meant, every word I said
When I said that I love you I meant
That I love you forever

And I'm gonna keep on lovin you
Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on lovin you

(solo)

And I meant every word I said
When I said that I love you I meant
That I love you forever

(chorus)

It is a great song that usually makes me feel really happy when I hear it. However, with my mood lately, it just sort of depresses me. Therefore I will also tell you that my current favorite song is Love 2012 by 3Oh!3. Here are the lyrics:

"Love 2012"Flash, flash, television
Give me a new religion
Fast, fast laser beams
Dreams of robotic screens
Dance, dance while you can
This is your last chance
Bang, bang, shoot 'em up
This is Love 2012

I'll be the one who takes all the blame
Going down, down in flames
You'll be the one who forgets my name
Play me, playing that game

This is me; I love myself
Yeah, fuck everyone else
I don't need nobody's help
'Cause this is Love 2012

Up, up on the screen
I got a new disease
Cha-ching for your soul
Everything must go
Kiss, kiss on the lips
Of the apocalypse
Ring, ring, burn the cell
This is Love 2012

Don't run away from what you did
I know, know what you said
I've been living with the mess we made
Get out, out of this maze

This is me; I love myself
Yeah, fuck everyone else
I don't need nobody's help
'Cause this is Love 2012

This is the dawning of personal belonging
With sirens and violins
The sky above is fallin'
This is the eve of "I don't believe"
That's all we got in common
The sky above is fallin' [x3]

I really enjoy listening to this song and it sort of reflects my current mood.

30 Day Challenge

Okay, so that seems to be the trend right now, so why not join in. I found a random challenge that I don't think I've seen anyone else do, so it should be interesting!
Stay tuned

Life is Amazing

Okay, sooooo, I haven't written in a while. I'm sorry! I've been really busy lately. So much has happened that I don't even know where to start. My reading week was awesome. I did do a lot of homework but I got to do a few cool things during my week off. I went to Quebec with a couple of friends and hit up Club Addiction. Then, came back and had a crazy Halloween party. It was really fun!!
Today, I had a mid-term exam. It was supposed to be from 1:30 to 4:30 but I was finished writing at 2:15. I'm not exactly sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing but I'm hoping good.
This weekend is the first weekend in a while that I have no plans. It should be interesting. I'm not sure if that makes me feel sad, or relieved. Oh, well, who cares.
I should probably be writing about way more than this but I'm actually pretty tired so how about if I promise to write again soon?
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Just Another Weekend

Hello! I know it's been a while since I've written and I feel bad. I've just been so busy with school, friends, family, life... I feel like I finally have my life back. I guess that's what happens after you break up with an anti-social guy. However, now that I'm focusing on my social life, I feel like I'm neglecting my school work. I've been doing okay, but I haven't been putting as much effort into it like I should be. I'm just so happy to be doing things, living. I'm having so much fun I don't want to have to put on a serious face and do hours and hours of homework. But, I know that I must. So that's where I'm headed, to do a lot of homework. Take care everybody!

Thanksgiving Weekend

Good afternoon!
This weekend has been pretty good so far. Friday night, I went to the movies. We saw "Life as we know it". It was cheesy and predictable, but very good. Saturday, I worked from 12pm until 7pm. Afterwards, I went to Ti Amo with two of my very good friends. There, I enjoyed a hot chocolate and a chocaholic crepe. It was extremely good. After that, I attended a party. I had fun considering I was the only sober person there. Then my Ottawa U friend slept over. Today, I will be enjoying a delicious thanksgiving dinner with my family. Tomorrow, I am reserving the entire day for homework.
Happy Thanksgiving to all, and to all a good day!!!

Looonnngg Tuesday

Hello!!!
Today was a good day, considering that I was at school for 14 hours straight... well almost. I usually am on Tuesdays, anyways. This week, my friend and I went out for dinner between classes. I think that was a good idea. It resulted in me actually staying awake for my last class. Anyways, I had an English test this morining that I wasn't fully prepared for, oh well. I guess it's not life or death, right?
So... the lovely ex-boyfriend I have previously mentionned didn't show up at school again today. He's throwing his future away and he's blaming me for it... Gotta love it..
Anyhow, I am quite tired after the long day I've had so I'm signing off.

Welcome to my Life

Hello everybody, or should I say anybody...
I often try and keep a journal, however, I can never keep up with it. So I figured, maybe if I started a blog, I would feel more compelled to write consistently.
So today was a good, yet bad day. It started with a text from a friend that I miss dearly. She moved away to go to Ottawa University and I was really sad. This morning though, she texted me that she's transferring next semestre and moving back! I was very happy to hear this. On the other hand, I went to school today. I had one class from 11:30 till 1:00 and it was French grammar. That class is almost humerous. The things we are "learning" I learned in the fourth grade. Then, after that one, pointless, class, I reluctantly let my ex-boyfriend walk me to my car. What a huge mistake! What you have to understand at this point is that we've been broken up for almost a month and he has been texting and calling me one hundred times a day. He's even resorted to blocking his number in the hopes that I would answer his call. Anyways, back to my story, he walked me to my car. He then tried to convince me to drive him home. He had two classes left to attend, so I said no, of course. Then he wouldn't let me leave. I got into my car and he held my door open, talking to me. After I managed to get my door closed, he stood behind my car so that I wouldn't leave. Therefore, I rolled down my window and drove away as he was walking towards my open window. I feel bad, but I was actually afraid at that point. I know he's harmless but it scares me to see him like that.
Anyhow, I have an English test tomorrow, so I should be studying. Wish me luck!
