Thursday, August 30, 2001 Waah! What a crazy day! I've been at school since 7:30, and finally, yes, finally, I'm all organized with a proper timetable. ^_^ Unfortunately, I had to make a few major adjustments with my courses... initially, my guidance counsellor placed me in an economics class two years above my level! o_o (There is still grade 13 [OAC] in Ontario here, but it has been eliminated in the new school curriculum, which I'm currently in.) At first I was okay with it, I really wanted to take economics, but year 11 economics kept conflicting with my timetable. And for a while there, I left my timetable with the old OAC economics course. -_-; The minute I came out of student services, however, my friend asked to see my timetable, and then proceeded in telling me how crazy I was to take such a difficult course, and to change it immediately! I value his opinion very much, and the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to drop that course all together... which is what I did! (Whoo! ^^) I'll be taking that course next year instead. And what did I replace economics with...? Accounting! I hope I won't have too much trouble with that. After all those run-in sentences, I'll list my schedule (for those who are curious!):
Semester 1
Semester 2 I only wish I had French & German 1st semester. I wasted my time reviewing my notes, I'll forgot all I learned by next term anyhow! @_@ Finally, the best thing today was that I got a double-size locker by accident, even though I only paid for a single one! This little tidbit stays in this blog alone, ne? XD
Enough already about timetables... I haven't eaten a thing yet today. I'll upload the new layout tomorrow, too...!
Wednesday, August 29, 2001 EXCEPT... as soon as I got home, my mother told me that the school had called explaining that that my timetable has insolvable conflicts and can only be fixed if I change my courses. Trouble is, I don't want to change any courses!! ;_; The only things I can think of doing is change the enhanced-advanced math course I took to just advanced math. As math isn't my strongest point, I might as well anyhow (though I was admitted into the school specifically for the enhanced program! Deceiving the purpose a little, ne?). Hopefully it will fix things. Otherwise, I'm just going to take out a $20 bill and hope that I can bribe my counsellor into fitting me into all the classes I wished to take in the first place. -_-; I'm not looking forward to school at all anymore now!! *stomps feet*
Monday, August 27, 2001 I came back home... realizing that several people had called me. Apparently my friend is having a BBQ on Wednesday and I'm to bring the hot dog buns. I do wish she told me a little more in advance!! But I'll go and save the day on Wednesday by bringing a package of hot dog buns. ^^ Aha, thanks to Crushlink, which tops my most-hated websites list, my inbox is overflowing with about 4 supposed 'You have a crush!!!" e-mails. Arghh... I give up! Someone is trying to make me go completely insane. I know it. *glances around furtively* Wai! Yukino, do consider going to the University of Toronto. I could possibly end up there, and wouldn't that be interesting? ;) I need sleep. And more importantly, a new layout for the web log. When shall I ever find the time to make one? *sighs dramatically* Hopefully, I'll be back to my old self tomorrow... good night Z_z
Monday, August 27, 2001 Registration day for school is this Thursday... we also receive our timetables, and if there is anything wrong with mine, I'll have a fit. >.>; There is always a line of 100+ people on the first day of school, wishing to change their timetables. And I do not want to wait in a never-ending line. ^^; What worries me at the moment, is that I have done very little work on my collective this summer. I wanted to get a lot finished, but never had the motivation to do so. ._. I've attempted to make a new layout for this blog several times as well, but I think I'm in a layout-slump. I promise to have a new one up by the end of this month, honest! ^-^ I've had a few doctor appointments lately, which I've failed to mention in my weblog. I'm thankful that there is nothing seriously wrong with me, but my doctor is making me take vitamin C & E, on top of the beer yeast tablets & vitamin A that I have to take. That amounts to about 10 tablets a day. @_@ I do not like swallowing pills, either...! That's all for today! I apologize for the rambling & randomness in today's entry. ^^; I'm off to go shopping with my grandma. Must buy a new watch, skirt, more books, and French vanilla yogurt. It's the only yogurt I'll eat. ^^ *picky picky*
Sunday, August 26, 2001 It was too humid today and my feet have swollen quite a bit. And this coming weekend will be so busy~~ I've neglected to look at much of my French & German review, not to mention finishing my reading. -_-; I can't believe school is starting so soon; in some ways, I do want to go back, but when I think of the stress... *backs away* And on an unrelated note... someone sent me a Crushlink! Arrgh!! *pulls hair out* Who is it?!
Thursday, August 23, 2001 I now vow to save my money, and not buy anymore books, anime, or manga for awhile. I've bought 8 books in the past 3 days, 3 anime tapes, 6 manga... ^^;; Must resist the urge... Hmm, I wonder if my tennis lesson is cancelled today since it is raining. I certainly hope that my teacher isn't one of those who love to torture their students by making them run around in the rain. -_-; A few final notes: congrats on the new car, Phil! And go take a look at Charlene's soothing new layout. ^_^v
Thursday, August 23, 2001 So, after that, I also promised said friend that I would help her walk her neighbour's dog, Katie. Now Katie is a very cute little puppy of 1 year, but EXTREMELY hyper. She tried to jump on every single rollerblader or biker in the park, and had to sniff around EVERY single garbage can as well. ^^; Having explained all that, I was so tired when I got home, that I promptly went to sleep at 5 pm. And I would have slept in today, had I not had a bad dream that woke me up. The bad dream had to do with the fact that school starts in 2 weeks! ;_; I can't even remember much of the details, except that I was being chased by a teacher down the hallway screaming and holding a test paper with a big red F on it. >.>; If that actually happens some day... ._.

My grandma is calling me now, rather angrily I think. You see, I have to take a whole bunch of vitamins daily, but I always avoid taking the beer yeast ones (YUCK x.x) and now I'm being forced to do so. Wish me luck; if you've ever had to take beer yeast, you'll know what I mean... =_=;
Saturday, August 18, 2001 Yup, Gem-chan, you certainly get noticed getting those foil highlights. This one guy sitting next to me asked, "Is it really worth all THAT to get your hair looking pretty?" I wasn't sure how to respond at the moment, for I wasn't 100% comfortable sporting the "Ahh! I look like a monster look." Kekeke XD XD And speaking of school clothes shopping, that's what I did today! Normally it is a fun experience, though my mother and grandma were absolutely unshakeable when they demanded they go with me instead of going with my friends. ^^; A full 6 hours of shopping with family can be a difficult, difficult thing. Not recommended by me! Though they spotted some rather good deals that I probably wouldn't have. ~^^~

Monday, August 13, 2001 One thing that I love to do is to get personal mail! And fortunately today, I received a letter from a penpal in Denmark. Now, I'm waiting anxiously for the Vampire Yui manga I got from Ebay to arrive. *^^* I'm hoping to get some more anime tapes this coming week as well... but not many as my spending money is rather limited. ^^; Perhaps a volume of Boys Be, Romeo's Blue Skies or Kaikan Phrase? If anyone can make some recommendations, I'd be grateful! It also seems that many titles have been removed from the fansub list since the last time I checked. Oh well, I guess I should have picked them up sooner before they were commercially bought. ;_;
Sunday, August 12, 2001 I mustn't forget about Saturday too, though the following will make you believe I am quite the nerd. ^^; As much as I do not look forward to starting school again, I look forward, EVERY year, to buying new school supplies! :o It's just so much fun picking out brand-new, shiny pens and other similar objects. ^_^ *nods* I know, very crazy, ne? And now at home, my parents were so nice to buy me apricots (this is Isabela's favourite fruit =P) and cook kebabche (these are Bulgarian, so I don't know the English word... kind of like skinny meatballs?) I wouldn't be surprised if I came out looking like a meatball by the end of this summer if I keep stuffing myself silly! ~:D Joey, it's great that you are better now (if it wasn't for the voice thing ^_^) Just another one of the annoying things the flu leaves behind. -_-; Selene, I'm deeply sorry for your loss, I know it must be painful... And Gemangel, yay, you're done with finals, good job! Now it's time to catch on relaxing, ne? ^.^ Well, I'm getting drowsy (Whaa?! From lying on the beach all day?! @.@) so to anyone who has e-mailed me, I'll get back to you... later. *waves goodbye to her overflowing inbox* T_T
Thursday, August 9, 2001 My first tennis lesson on Tuesday was very enjoyable. ^^ Though my dad insisted on walking with me the 5 minutes to the tennis court, (>.>;) all went well. I noticed a few things throughout the lesson: 1) Everyone plays as badly as I do! (It's a beginner's course) ^^; 2) One must have careful footing as there are many little critters on the court during the evening. Yuck. ;_; A late happy birthday wish must be sent to Shiori! Happy birthday. ^_^v Alexa has also merged her weblog, so I must change it on the links... *ahem* ... I must change many of the links, which hasn't happened yet, due to my laziness, of course. XD And finally, Elyse, congratulations on graduating! Good luck on the move. ^^
Tuesday, August 7, 2001 This one is from Quizbox: Your view on yourself: You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you. [I agree with this one somewhat. I avoid bloody brawls XD... and I do hope people are naturally attracted to me!] The type of girl/boyfriend you are looking for: You are not looking merely for a girl/boyfriend - you are looking for your life partner. Perhaps you should be more open-minded about who you spend time with. The person you are looking for might hide their charm under their exterior. [*nods* I should use this advice... -_-;] The next two were similar in nature, so I won't bother posting them. Your views on education: Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can. [Education is an important value of mine, though I think I've slacked off a little in studying. ;_; Must improve that this year!] The right job for you: You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success. [Ah... I must find a balance between something I love but which is also practical!] How do you view success? You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Do not give up when you have not even started yet! Be courageous! [Very true. I think this is one of my largest difficulties that I need to overcome.] What are you most afraid of? You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear. [I was always worried about this when I first started high school, happily it's not as much of a problem anymore! ^_^] Who is your true self? You like privacy very much because you enjoy spending time with your own thoughts. You like to disappear when you cannot find solutions to your own problems, but you would feel better if you learned to share your thoughts with a person you trust. [Also quite true... though it makes me sound like a loner, ne? T_T] And that's all for today! I agree with Elyse when she said that her results were generally true. So were mine! I did the Yahoo Palm Reading test as well, but I think I've made this entry long enough. ^^; *apologizes frantically* |
Hmm... I ordered some fansubs today, as well: a volume each of Romeo's Blue Skies, Hana Yori Dango, and Legend of Basara. There aren't so many titles to choose from though... I wish I had at least picked up more of the VPMiyu fansubs before they were removed. The TV series is good!
Ah, speaking of VPMiyu, the manga I got was very lovely & detailed (in respect to the artwork), 
Ah yes, and one more thing... my Vampire Yui manga arrived yesterday! I like Ms. Kakinouchi's artwork very much. Too bad I can't afford to buy any more volumes. ;_; I spent enough on school clothes today. It makes me wish sometimes that I had a school uniform. Doesn't it make things much easier? ^^;
