mood: lonely
Funny how bad I am at actually posting daily, eh?
So there was a shooting yesterday at Willowbrook Mall, robbery then shooting.  Crazy, right? Well today there was also a stabbing...in Willowbrook Mall...very close to the same location...comforting, no? I might be forced to the new development to do my shopping simply out of fear :|.

Canadian Tire is stupid. )

Otherwise I am feeling super lonely these days.  I think it's a winter/Christmas/it-gets-dark-early kinda lonely.  It's okay though, I cuddle with my friend's cat in front of the fire now again which makes me feel a little better...

ETA: I just noticed that I haven't posted with a happy emoticon in a LOOONG time.  I will be sure to do this the next time. :)

Second entry back!! (Even though it should be what? My seventh?)

mood: tired
Apparently I sucked at posting daily.
I am sick and don't really recall ever having anything quite like it.  Basically I have an appalling pain in the back of my throat that just doesn't want to go away, a swore neck as a result of my swollen gland (which no one will actually acknowledge are swollen) and on and off chest congestion that feels like I am being sat on.  It's not fun but not particularly horrible since I can do things with it...

Practicum )

The Plan )

Deadwood )Other awkward situation - dealt with. )

I got my hair done! I am now a brunette and kind of loving it! I figure I'll like it even more after tomorrow when I get my eyebrows waxed/tinted as when I look in the mirror right now all I see are my hideous eyebrows.  It's fun and I love it. :)

I'm back!

mood: nervous
So after months and months (year?) of not posting I am making a triumphant return to livejournal! I am going to go back on the plan so that's definitely one of the largest reasons I'm back.  I have alot going on now too so it will likely focus on that during the week and maybe I'll post a little more on the weekends.

Here's the updates on my life:

School/Practicum )

Paid work )I went to Fright Nights on Friday and it was awesome! I definitely recommend going.  It was SO scary! I have some awesome pictures that will be coming to facebook of it.  They involve scary clowns. 

Other...stuff... )

Job Search   
04:16pm 18/04/2008
 
mood: curious
Back to the job hunt.  It's really awful, I don't enjoy it in the slightest.  I am trying to get a job at the casino which would be awesome cause it's great pay and sounds like alot of fun.  Only thing that sucks about it is the hours, it would probably be through the night, at least at the beginning.  It's really stupid though cause most jobs that I'm finding right now have shit hours, the other one that was in the paper is Boston Pizza which doesn't close until 2 am. Overall, not a fun time.  Also, snow? WTF?

Practicum date is coming up.  I've started searching the entire Redbook (a list of practically all organizations, companies, etc. that I may be able to work with) which is going to take a while, to say the least.  It's very stressful too cause I feel like it's planning for the rest of my life which is not fun at all. :(  

Also, GOOD LUCK [info]ladybrock

Does  anyone know why a (or several) USB ports wouldn't be working? Or, more importantly, how to fix it? I have two USB ports in the front of my computer, neither of which are responding, and two in the back have items plugged in and one of them is working and the other is not.  The one working has my ipod in but the other one has my printer and it is also not responding. :(

I'm in a complete and total mental block right now.  I have 3 papers to write in a week and have no idea...about any of it!

Also, that emoticon does not say blank to me.  It says glowy.

New avatars   
10:48pm 04/02/2008
 
mood: hungry

So in my attempts at finding new ways to procrastinate I managed to clean my room (sorta), get new avatars, find a spot for an old clock and whine to myself about how much I'm craving...anything! Food-wise.  I'm SO hungry.  Been hungry thoughout this whole thing.  I think I may have to be hungry in order to succeed.

School-wise, I'm getting close to graduation.  I have to have a meeting with my counsillor to figure out if I'm as close as I think I am...I'm a little worried I'll be told I need a science credit even though when I registered at SFU I was told that I wouldn't need one because I was entering into the school the semester before they changed the requirements...I'm just concerned that my advisor won't know that or maybe that since I'm still there it will still be required? I really don't know but it freaks me out and is making me postpone my meeting with the counsillor. 

Exercise is going well.  I've mostly been being a geek and dancing in my room.  I got two of those Carmen Electra Strip-tease exercise DVD's and they are really good! The first one is kind of strip-tease-y but it's fun! It's like a dance and I'm actually quite surprised that it helps my confidence! The second one is more of an aerobic work-out with this guy who trained Carmen Electra.  It's pretty cool.  Need more room to do it though.

Well, done procrastinating for now.  Better get back to work.

  I made $30 in tips tonight!! That means that between the two of us we made $60! I've never done that well.  

Also, I sort of got a possible call back on a job! It's at a golf course as a part time receptionist.  It sounds like a pretty sweet job.  I'm supposed to call back about setting up an interview. :)

I wrote my last exam today! It was BRUTAL but I'm going to try and not think about it.

Now I have this strange feeling...I don't know what to do...

mood: sad
Okay, so I've had a tough night.  First I went out with a sort of ex-friend and tried to talk about stuff which was super awkward and I unfortunately don't know if it's going to work out but at the same time it was good to get some stuff off my chest.  Then I found out that in telling someone something two people got in trouble for something they shouldn't have and so I confronted people about it and got in trouble myself and may have jeopardized a friendship...I just can't stand all the drama and constantly being pulled into the middle of something I have nothing to do with.  I just don't get how I always end up screwed over and the people who are actually at fault are happily moving on in their lives...

I found out today that my first day off from school I have to work and in that discovery I learned how much I dislike my work environment.  I think I've figured out what I'm going to do.  I think that upon the completion of this semester (3 more days!!! WOOT!) and after the weekend (since I work Saturday and Sunday...) I'm going to try and get a job somewhere that will make me...not miserable.  Yeah, it'll mean less money and I won't have the same pull but I'll be happy to go to work and if I have to work all summer I might as well enjoy what I'm doing.  I'm thinking of applying to Rogers again and possibly a few other movie stores.  If that doesn't work out, I guess I could try some other liquor stores.  I just find myself more and more angry that I have to go there and be around those people.

I found out on Friday that my manager...hired someone who's under age... -.-  Apparently I have to look into the legality of that action and be the one to tell him.  Boourns! She's actually good too.  Oh well, it's his fault for not investigating himself.

One more week.

Yesterday I managed to train a new girl, who basically had to run the store with an hour of training, and then spent the majority of the rest of my 8 hour shift in the back (which is freezing cold) unloading a 4 skid beer order.  Oh and the day before I had spent 8 hours reorganizing and cleaning the back as well as doing another, two skid, order.  I was in pain when I woke up, worked in pain, was in pain when I went to sleep and, surprise surprise, still hurt.  The rest of my Thursday shift I had to put up with this winy little brat complaining to me about being dumped.  She's EXTREMELY immature and couldn't understand why he was so angry she had driven drunk...he treated her like crap but still wants him back.  She's such a little brat.  I can't stand the girl.  Oh, and funniest thing ever, you would expect to hear it in a movie, I told her that I would be swore tomorrow from all the lifting I had done and she said that her heart would be hurting tomorrow............................................................ -.- All the girl wants is pity and I can't handle it! I hope she gets fired, and SOON.

Also, just found out that this new guy that they hired is actually not as nice as he comes off.  I'm bitter about it.

music: Corporate Crime text - in my head
One more day and then I have to sit through the worst day ever! Two exams.  One at 8:30 AM (which is going to be awful! I have to be up at like 6) and then one at 3:30 PM.  Both lasting 3 hours. Both are going to be brutal! My stomach hurts now and I'm finally getting all nervous.  I was a wreck last night too.  

I just can't wait to be done! After tomorrow I wait (or rather studying for...) 9 days and then...SUMMER! 

And then I deal with work.  I think Im getting rashes from the stress of school and work.

However, one stressor gone.  One useless 'employee' has been fired.  Two more to go.  I'm doubtful though cause I'm pretty sure one of them is sleeping with the boss!

Staff meeting today.  Things are supposed to change around there and if they do...I'm not sure I want to leave.  I think the main thing I want though is for people to be fired if incompetent.  I want people who are actually good at the job to be treated as such.  I want respect from managment, owners and the pub/kitchen.  

Those are the morally good ones.  The other thing I want is more money.  But, that's just me being greedy cause I want more money even though I'm perfectly well aware that if I go somewhere else I'll be getting less than I'm being paid now.

Am I an awful person?

17 Days!   
06:55pm 03/04/2007
 
mood: tired

The partner is still useless but at least we are finished our last project today! 

The rest of the week will be entirely devoted to Sociology of Law and Forensics! Weeee Forensics! Sociology of Law isn't too bad, one of the questions that will be on the final is posted for us! It deals with corporate crime and the war on drugs.  The other one is going to be really general so I don't really know for sure what to expect but hopefully it'll be so general that I can just rant about one of the more interesting topics.  

Wierdest thing, I have three finals.  Quantitative Research Methods, Sociology of Law and Forensics and they are all different formats and they are all one format! Quantitative is all multiple choice, Sociology of Law is two essay questions and Forensics is all short answer!  How wierd is that?

Not very but it's the little things that amuse you when you've had less than 5 hours of sleep and are studying finals.

Oooh! Best news.  I found out that my manager actually really likes me and my assistant manager thinks that when I go to quit, I'll be offered a raise! I thought the guy hated me.  I actually don't know what to do about this though cause I'm really not happy there but I can't say for sure that a raise wouldn't make me happier...that's terrible, isn't it? Am I willing to sell out my happiness for a raise?

  Apparently, we got an A on that assignment from last week...I guess not eating and running around like a crazy person actually paid off.

It's just unfair that my partner got it too and I felt like he didn't really do much...
