its been awhile...

tonight, after three years or so of fighting, i finally took out my snug piercing. i'm a little sad about it...i tried hard, but i don't think this perpetual cyst was ever really going to go away...and the random swelling up was getting to me. but now i have an ugly black hole in my ear. eww.

so classes ended last week, so exam time has begun. for the next 9 days i will be holed up in the 24-hour lounge at laurier, unaware of the day or what time it is. my birthday is included in these 9 days, which is depressing. but then i will be FREE for a whole month. woohoo!!

i bought waldo a new house a few days ago. he's enjoying it very much, and now instead of being lazy and lounging on the rocks most of the time, he's MUCH lazier and rests on top of his house, which requires even less effort to to go the top of his bowl for air. silly fish.

nap time!

wow. how much do i suck?? i apologize...but i don't go on blog sites while i'm at work, and by the time i get home i tend to be kind of sick of the computer...so yea. anyways, happy st. paddy's day! i should be out drinking, but we went to the mongolian grill for dinner and i had sooo much food (plus the most delicious daquiri i've EVER had! it was rapberry-banana. tasted like a smoothie!) and we're supposed to be going to the bomber now but i think i'm going to end up pooning out (shhh!) because i'm EXHAUSTED. plus, my legs hate me because i decided to go to aerobics for the first time in about 2 months and they might give out if i try to wear heels anywhere.

i had an interview today to be a business TA next year. i think it went fairly well, but pretty much everyone i've talked to who had an interview said theirs also went well. so its sketchy. plus, we don't actually find out until may, which sucks! boooooooo.

i went on a shopping spree with my mommy this last weekend and i bought the prettiest skirt EVER EVER!! and pumps. i'm soo excited. but now its crazy snowing everywhere and i can't wear it for awhile...so sad...

i just found out tonight that my friend johanna dropped our program. everyone's leaving me. i'm sad. there's only like 10 girls left in our program! (well, maybe there's more...but they're all waterloo people and asian)

ok, must begin slowly pooning out of going out tonight....

hi! its been a very long time since i've written on here....i'm not even sure how long but whatever. the amount of time i spend bored and wishing other people would blog, i decided i should do the same.

today was winter cleaning day. i organized/cleaned my room HUGE. i built my new bookcase and rearranged everything and vaccumed. yay! i realized that cleaning my room is going to be much harder this semester, as last semester i only cleaned to get away from doing homework. seeing as i'm only taking one distance education class this term, this is going to be tough. i also realized how potentially bored i could get this term. if i have more then 2 hours to myself, i start going crazy. so i'm going to start knitting again. and reading my new book....and yea. blah blah blah.

working is good. on friday, i only did nothing for like an hour! before i started working, doing onthing seemed like a good thing. then tuesday came along, and i did nothing for the WHOLE DAY. seriously, i probably did 2 hours of actual work, if that. and i realized that i might go insane if i had to do this every day. so much that the next day, i sat in on a 3 hour long sales training seminar and wasn't bored. wow. but now things are picking up, and this makes me happy. also, making money is nice for a change...

this was incredibly boring, so i'm going to stop now. byebye.

hellooo. i'm at home. again. i don't think i've gone home three weekends in a row the whole time i've been at school. i came home for the night so i could get my glasses, but apparently the mall's holiday hours doesn't apply to stupid lenscrafters. i was so pissed. so my mom's just going to pick them up for me tomorrow while i'm in buffalo, and hopefully they will be fine. pffft.

tonight was exciting. i took a bath. i miss baths when i'm at school. stupid dirty tubs. also, i attempted my calculus assignment and couldnt' do ONE question. stupid double integrals..they shouldn't exist.

i'm SO excited for christmas. i decided that i'm going to buy a christmas cd tomorrow and annoy the hell out of everybody. i love christmas music. and christmas trees. yay!

alright. i have to go back to attempting calculus before i go to bed. byebye.

oh man. i realized this weekend that i want to take a class next semester while on co-op. all throughout my job search, i didn't know where i would be or what i would be doing, so i put this off. then i found a job, and contemplated just taking a semester easy and working. then i realized that by having nothing to do and living in waterloo where everyone will still be, i'd probably spend my entire paycheque away and save nothing. so i decide TODAY that i need to register for a class. the trouble is, the last day to register without paying late fees was friday, and this would be ok if it weren't for the fact that most of the good classes are now full. so i've now spent most of my evening frantically searching for a reasonably easy/fairly interesting/NOT full class. so its down to "evil" (a religion class), "mennonite history", and "principles of entrepreneurship" (which is actually full but i know the instructor so i think i might be able to get in). pffffft!

12:50 a.m.

after apply to over 60 jobs through the co-op process, i was a little discouraged this week. i was making plans to start a personal job search at home in case co-op couldn't help me. then on monday night, at 2:00am i come home from studying algebra (i had a midterm the next day) to a post it note on my door: jess, you have a co-op interview with NCR tomorrow at 1:30. call the co-op office to confirm. FUCK! nice timing...so i basically stopped studying right there and started panicking. i also found out that i had another interview the day after. BUT the good news is, i have a co-op job now! yay! i'm working with NCR (it originally stood for the National Cash Register company! ahhahaha) in waterloo, which is also nice because now i don't have to find a subletter. yaaaaay!

i'm working on a case study right now that's due on friday. i'd just like to say that i hate people who use lots of big words to try and sound smart, but end up using them in the wrong context and sound like an idiot instead. half my group can't write for shit. so i'm sitting here rewriting most of it so that my mark doesn't suffer from their retardedness. die.

i love outlook.

today i went to the mall and spent 70 dollars at la senza. honestly, i'm going to kill myself. i have like 10 dollars to survive the next 2 weeks with, until my cheque from the business office comes. dammit, i need a job! i'm considering going home on the weekends to work at the store, except that i'm usually too busy with school things to actually do this. die.

yesterday, i saw two little kids (both between 3 and 6 or something) dressed as woody and buzz lightyear for halloween. soooo cute!

i have nothing interesting to say here. really. i made slice and bake halloween cookies tonight. they were kind of gross. oh, and on thursday i pulled my first "all-nighter" of the semester, doing a calculus assignment that's worth 1.11% of my final mark.

BYE!

my dresser is coming soon. yay! andy from ikea called today. i'm very excited.

i think my roomates hate me. well, no i don't. but i think they're GOING to hate me by the end of the year. i'm never EVER home. it was like this last year too, but considering we didnt' exactly hang out together, it didn't matter. now last week i think i went 4 days without seeing either roomate for more than an hour's worth. its sad, and i feel bad about it.....but i can't fix it! so oh well.

i just figured out today what a blunt wrap was. i'd been thinking all summer they were either weed-like flavour cigars, or weed in VERY small doses. then irena bought one today and i saw it was just a casing to stuff weed IN. wow, i'm stupid.

tomorrow, i shall be holding interviews to hire ace executives from 9:30am to 2:00pm. die.

i'm going to save the rest of my thoughts for howard.

02:40 a.m.

ok. so i realize i haven't written since i left for waterloo. which was almost a month ago. really, i apologize. it honestly didn't feel like four weeks. its crazy how fast time goes by at school...

anyways, it sucks cuz i'm already swamped with work. plus co-op is next semester so there's SO much stuff to do with job postings and interviews. ah! its sad because i meant to go to york to visit laura and dan, and go on a road trip with the roomies before things got busy. but its too late now. already. die.

i'm going home tomororw. i'm excited. except that i know i won't get anything done. but i miss everyone! yaaay ancaster! which reminds me, i still need to pack. i hate packing to go home. i wish i had two sets of everything i owned. it would make things alot easier.

i haven't OPENED a harry potter book since i got here. that makes me sad, though i'm semi-proud because i was getting a little obsessive over the summer. bloop!

i'm sorry this entry has no flow. but when i dont' write for a long time, this is what happens because i remember random things i meant to talk about a long time ago but never got around to posting. anyways, i'll try harder this month.

01:33 a.m.

i move in 3 days. oh man. for some reason i'm not realizing how soon that is, and thinking "I'll do it later", unlike last year when i started packing probably 2 weeks in advance. its funny how i kind of seem to think its so different this year, that i won't miss my friends and family so much even though i'm planning on coming home less, that the long distance relationship will be "easy" now. subconsciously i realize that i'm still going to get homesick, worry that i'm drifting from my friends at home, miss the fact that i can't see adam whenever i'm lonely. but for now, ignorance is bliss! and i'm painting my new room green.

see, i started to try and write a real blog, then i got bored so i will ramble as usual. i went back-to-school shopping with laura today. i think we both spent over 300 dollars. it was insane. i'm never going shopping again. well, that's a lie, but i wont' be able to for a LONG time anyways as i'm basically bankrupt now, besides my budget for school. ewwwwwwwwwwwww.

i had a nice heart-to-heart last night with my mom (while watching korean soaps, of course) and it made me see a few things differently about her. she knows more about me than i thought she did. she's also not as *purposely* ignorant about relationships and sex as i thought. (you've all heard the condom story...you know) and she sees more of a future with me and adam then i ever realized. it was nice. i also realized how close we've gotten this summer, and that i'll probably miss her alot more then i did last year when i move out again. AWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! i love my mommy.

01:20 a.m.

i'm exhausted. its been a long day, and i'd like to go to bed. but if i do that, tomorrow will come sooner and i'd like to try to stall on it for awhile. because just thinking about it is stressing me out. my schedule's so packed tomorrow i might have a nervous breakdown before the day is out. ahhhhhhhhh....

10:45am - doctor's appointment
11:00am-2:00pm - work
2:30pm - 6:00pm - drive to waterloo, return distance education tapes, go to the print shop to order some business cards for ACE, go to the rude native bistro with adam for dinner (as i can use my onecard and thus save my "read" money)
6:00pm - move kitchen table into new apartment (provided the subletters are actually there to let us in...)
7:00pm - ACE "online" meeting on msn...i'm not actually sure how i'm going to get to this, either i'm going to high-tail it home or go to adam's brother's place and use his computer in waterloo.

also, i think we're going to the beach on tuesday but nothing is officially planned.......though it might rain. so that might have to change. hmmm. how sad...

my blogs are absolutely useless. i apologize to anyone who actually reads this, as i have no creative writing talent whatsoever and this is completely pure rambling, devoted to organizing my thoughts and just complaining, i guess. whatEVA! goodnight.

also, before the whole world tries to tell me, jane adam and laura have ALL informed me that "ps" stands for "post-script".

11:50 a.m.

i just blogged half an entry when i pressed some random button and everything disappeared!! it was weird. and stuff wasnt' even highlighted..........hmmm

anyways, i'm at work now. the keyboard here is duct taped to a wire shelf above the printer, and its hard to type while sitting down. i'm attemtping to remove it, but i have no idea when my dad did this as it seems to be cemented to the wire...ahhhhhh!!

i think i'm going to need to get a job this year at school if i'm going to survive. the thing is, i'm not really sure if my grades can survive a job, no matter how little hours it might be. or maybe i'll just play lots of scratch tickets and hope i win something. yes, that sounds MUCH easier...

Things to do before i move

ok.......i might blog again later, as its going to be super slow and boring here today.......byebye for now

also, lets all take a minute of silence for the late weatherbutton that has served me so well. hopefully we will be reunited one day.

hello. look! new layout! this is exciting, as it never happens and its pretty now. jane helped me. she's lovely. so are people who make free layouts and will even host them for you. yay!!

so anyways, i start moving in a week and a day from today. and i realized i have SO much stuff to do this week....as i'm not quite done shopping for random stuff and i haven't even begun to start thinking about packing...ewwww. i'm also working lots this week as i went to the mall today and realized just how much stuff i want and how little spending money i've budgeted for. so if anyone would like to visit me tomororw at work, i will be there from 11 to 7!! (its like a 7-11........but backwards!)

right now i'm supposed to be working on scholarship stuff......but this took up all my time and now i'm tired. so i will play some minesweeper and go to bed soon. yay!!

ps. the beach is fun, and i wish i'd gone more this summer. (what does "ps" stand for, exactly??)
