Just some work stuff.

I'm moving in my seat to the music.

What's the music?

I will check my itunes while I am in constant motion.

My upper body is groovin' to the movin'.

*checks music*

Oh, it's Muse. Why am I not surprised?

Anyway, I worked today. Because a lot of my rooms were no service, or barely any, I was able to finish early. That doesn't mean I left early! Oh no! I was the first one done, but I was nice and helped three other people: I was the second last person to leave. The very last person was one of the people I was helping. Nobody else stays behind to help! Except I know how STUPID it is to be the only one left working because everyone left: So I thought to be a kind soul! Yes.

Although the first person I helped, because she was also done early (from my assistance, I might add), she helped me on two of my rooms. So I guess we equal out. STILL!

I get paid tomorrow! Except this time I REALLY AM giving my mom money for my computer, and I gotta buy a fridge. I think the tv will be on the next cheque... And I'll put some money into the bank. Yeap. I am being COST SAVVY. Except not, because things are so expensive! I don't know how I'm going to be able to sneak in Orlando.

This makes me frown.

I just took a break where I looked at credit cards, and got some toast with nutella on it. MAN, I am going to have to get some of this before I leave for school. YUMMY.

I mailed in my residence money! yay!

I got new shoes! I got new shoes! I grabbed the first size that I found, tried them on, said they were good, and put them in the shopping cart.

Later when I got home, walked in them a bit, I realized something: It's a little big in the back! And I can't tell my MOM that, or else she'd be all, "I told you to try on another pair!" You know, the classic "I told you so" thing. And I really don't like DEALING with that sort of thing.

So I'll just see how work goes tomorrow with those things.

*turns around to look at them*

They're white. And have some fancy GEL inserts in them. So I was like, "eh! They're good". AND I HOPE THEY ARE. Yes! As I have decided (well, sort of) that I am going to try and get a job at a hotel in Sault Ste. Marie. I don't know WHY, but I think it's solid work! OR I might just try something else before I even dread myself into that... But it's nice to know I have an option for weekends!

YEAH.

I mailed off my residence today, with some SPEEDY SERVICE THAT COST 10 DOLLARS. Intense! Although $10 to a $100 late fee isn't that bad, I guess... That was my reasoning, anyway. Mhm.

YEAH! I cashed my cheque in finally! And the bank was all, "student credit card?" and I was all ! "I'll ask my mom..." haha, yes. VERY cool. Mhm. I did leave some of my cheque in the bank, but I cashed the majority of it: I had STUFF to buy! Which I did... I even bought my mom lunch. Yeah! I thought it was a nice gesture.

TRUE.

I am watching televison with my parents! Or I was....

I got paid today! AND IT WAS COOL! Although I hate how I can't keep my GROSS amount. SIGH. It makes me sad! Although as I mentioned before, there is a brightside: I can complain about the way my goverment is spending money! Whoohoo!

I have decided to give my mom the majority of my money, so I don't feel bad about my computer. Alas, I save $100 for LeakyCon, and the rest goes to just general life. Aka: movies and such! Such being books... And mailing parcels. Yes! It WILL come to you! (You being Leah.)

So this evening, I watched an episode of Veronica Mars, and an episode of Psych. I watched Psych with my parents, and they enjoyed it! AS IN, they laughed! You know they like a show when they laugh watching it. At least that's how I notice things... Unless it's a drama or something. I don't know. My thought train doesn't have a track to follow all that well. *frown*

I worked today... I had thirteen rooms! Although I had to help a co-worker, and at the end of my shift, my feet were SORE! It's like they forgot this past week about the definition of SORE FEET. It was sad! I couldn't even walk when I got home. HENCE the tv watching, mon ami! YEAH.

I've got such an interesting life...

Anyway, I'm sure the episode of Psych I left my parents with is halfover, so... Later!

SPOILER ALERT: BEWARE: Totally unrelated: Amber Benson was on Buffy, but she was shot. And died. Ooh, it almost lead to the end of our civilization!

WHOAH! I had this window open and completely forgot about it! Fail.

I worked today. While I was still pretty slow (my last room of the day, the people were in there) it wasn't like yesterday. Except I didn't get any assistance! Fail. SO I don't know. I hate it. It made me cry from frustration. My mom said to stick it out at LEAST until this pay period is over, so... Yeah!

We shall see. We shall see. I like the idea of getting paid, though. My dad said I would be able to pay for half my laptop AND even pay for my residence. But he probably said I'd be waiting for Chapters to open. And I'm all, "I really cannot deny that". EXCEPT! I don't know! I see books as WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO GET IT: "Hm, this book here is two hours of stupid work!" Etc.

It just isn't worth it. I'll wait for it second hand, thanks!

I have decided that what I'm getting is NOT WORTH IT for what I'm doing. I thought it was fantabulous, but really... it is not. Reality sets in! I don't know why I thought this work would be easy.

As it is not. I hate cleaning up after people! SHEESH! BE CLEAN! JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT AT HOME DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN BE REALLY MESSY!

Sorry. I'm complaining too much.

In other news, somehow my thumb started to bleed today. I assume from my work, so eh. I was like, WHOAH BLOODY THUMB. I didn't even realize. Call me jaded, or what?!

Yeah!

So my recommendation for today is to rewatch Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets! Although it bothered me to see Malfoy and his thugs in herbology: He isn't supposed to be there! Although yeah, I always hated that movie for some reason... Well, not hate, but it was one of my least favorites. HOWEVER, when I rewatched it, it wasn't that bad! AMAZING! I enjoyed hearing some of the best quotes! YEAH.

ANYWAY, must be off now!

Obviously, fans, happy news, and tests

Today was another hot day... And it was gross. Unfortunately we don't have air conditioning, so it's not very cool. (No pun intended.) Question: In residence, do they have individual heaters for each room? I know, such a switch from hot and cold, but I am curious. Because I REALLY love warm rooms in the winter.

And in the summer, I like cold rooms.

Oh, how I am never pleased with the weather.

Except back to the air conditioning situation, we do have a lot of fans! We probably waste a lot more power with fans, but my dad is like "no" to air conditoning, while my mom is "yes". They're at different ends of the spectrum!

OBVIOUSLY.

I don't know. I personally sleep with a fan at night, even in the dead of winter. I just like NEW AIR being on my face. Plus it's nice. I imagine this is a habit I am going to have with me for the rest of my life. BECAUSE as of now, I've been sleeping with a fan since I was in grade six! I was just learning about puberty when I first started sleeping with a fan!

TIME FLYS!

And it's incredibly awkward when I'm in a hotel room, or sleeping at someones house, when I don't have a fan. It just makes my sleep awkward! Plus the sound of a fan is comforting to me. It means CALM!

Although this weekend, when I was having it blow STRAIGHT MY FACE, it was incredibly blah. Mostly because I was sick, and I wasn't feeling that good in general. But with cold SICK wise, I am doing rather well. I have some problems with my nose, but overall it's good! I didn't even get another bleeding nose today. *knocks on wood* EXCELLENT.

GROSS ALERT! IT was so hot at co-op today, with my STUPID vest, that I was tempted to just cut off ALL MY HAIR! Because it's not long enough for a ponytail (my hair, I mean), but it's long enough to stick against my neck. AND CREATE GROSS TIMES. You can imagine a pool/shower felt like the shiz.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to experience either.

I was able to have an iced tea thing from Starbucks though! Passion somethingsomething? I don't know. My sister bought it for me, but I kind of SUCKED IT BACK. And just chewed on the ice. Quite good, I gotta say. That's when I just watched some nerimon videos with him reading Twilight. I actually burst out laughing a lot. IN STARBUCKS.

Nothing stops me!

That's for sure.

Anyway, when my mom came to pick me up, she told me Cosine was still at home, and I got quite excited. It's exciting! Because throughout the day, I was quite upset.

Upset, obviously.

AND! I found out I am getting a thousand dollars for school next year! It's making for a cheap ride for school, isn't it? *knocks on wood* I'm not sure if it's FINAL yet, but my mom signed me up for something this weekend. And I was like "thanks!" I guess it pays when your mom goes away on weekends. (Pun intended.)

My mom by the way, just goes back to her childhood home. She usually drags along my brother. She hasn't took me for years now. I don't feel sad, because while I used to LOVE going to my grandpa's house when I was younger during the summer, it's not that desirable now.

Truth!

Also! I got my test back, in business. It embarrasses me to look over my long answer, as I usually write things i would NEVER SAY. Let alone on a test! Anyway, I got 91% on the test. I'm going to admit: I am disappointed. Because when we were taking up the test, I REALIZED I MADE A MISTAKE THAT I WANTED TO SLAP MYSELF FOR!

IT WAS A MISTAKE THAT I WOULD HAVE CAUGHT IF I READ OVER MY TEST! But I didn't! Because I was so glad to just be done with it, I just handed it in.

SAD!

But I did get the 10 full marks on the long answer! So that's nice. I was sucking on them for the last few tests. It's nice to know I stepped up my game again.

TRUTH RUTH!

Well, enough rambling!
