Testest.

I bought my ticket home! Well, I didn't, but my mom did. And I am so very happy to be able to go home next weekend. =)

The internet wasn't working this evening when I woke up from my nap, and it WASN'T COOL! Seriously.

I had my psychology test. I think I did somewhat good? I had another study group thing, and it was good. It actually worked, because when I was doing my test, I was like, oh... Although some of the questions were clearly from the study guide cd I was using. I was like, good thing I studied that! But I should've went more IN DEPTH with them. But. Since I now know how to do it, that's what I'll do for tests. The study guide.

Although on the test, there was one question that I was REALLY UNCERTAIN ABOUT. Not because I didn't KNOW the answer, but because how it was worded. It was for the four goals of psychology. HOWEVER, they weren't in order! And some teachers actually take that as a way to TAKE OFF MARKS (I found) if you said it was true, when it was false due to the order thing. but. I asked her, and she said the order didn't count.

So. That was nice.

Yes.

Another nice day.

My ears hurt.

I feel sick! But there just isn't a day that would be good to stay out of school, too. I have a (weekly) quiz in computers, and a two hour lecture class where my teacher was all, "don't miss it! It's YOUR choice!" And... It's only until 12:30, which isn't that bad. But the thing is, I can't even SLEEP after that, because I have to study for a biology test on Wednesday. And apparently, I also have a French test on Wednesday, too. When I glance at my schedule for Wednesday, I have French in the morning (which means I must study study study) and two hours of English, where I'll be all ... about my biology test after. That's when I'll study for my biology; I have a three hour break after English and before biology. Yay!

STUPID. I think if I take my medicine, I can study well tomorrow. And I will study. I will read my chapter, make notes, study said notes, recite the stuff, remember the stuff, and work work work. I will also throw in French. I'm not AS WORRIED about French, but it isn't the best thing either. Gah. GAH!

I'm done classes at 12:30 tomorrow. Urrrrgh. I will make this work.

TRULY.

Anyway. I was having a bad evening (after a random bout of levels of excitement), but I talked to my friend, and it was a bit better. It's sucky how my best friend doesn't live here. SADFACE! I think I just need to go home for awhile. Which hopefully, I'll be able to do.

To drink or not. Hm.

I think I'm getting the hang of youtube. I even want to make a video. Not an exciting one, but it'll still be a video. I'll see how that goes. (I attempted today, but the lighting/content = not so good). I guess not all videos will be vlogbrother quality, but STILL.

I'm tired. And I didn't even do a whole lot today. Today, I watched the beginning of All Dogs Go To Heaven 2, read Harry Potter, took a nap, had a numb arm from said nap, had some guy come into my room twice, watched a bit of the VMAs and played around on youtube. I also went outside for awhile, and some girl knew why I liked the names Giles! She was all, "because of Buffy, isn't it?" and I'm all, "YES!"

Speaking of that... People in my dorm. All the people who I talk to, pretty much all went drinking last night. So even if I WAS brave enough to hang out with them, I really wouldn't have been able to. One of my dad's advice for me was to not hang out with people that were drinking. UNLESS I was drinking, too. And I was like, pssh! I don't even drink. But my parents think I'm going to start. And hey, if I do. I do. I'll be nineteen next month. I just think I'm not going to become some insane drinker, even if I DO. I don't know if I will or not. Does this even make sense? I don't know. I find it fun to stay in with my computer and tv. I just kind of wish I had someone else to do this with.

BECAUSE IT SEEMS EVERYONE IS A DRINKER. Seriously.

Gahh. There HAS to be someone in this building who didn't go out last night! You know? YOU KNOW?? Hahaha.. Put up an ad on the facebook group for my residence group: "Like Harry Potter? HARRY POTTER MOVIE NIGHT!!" Oh boy.

I shake my head at myself.

Right now I'm listening to Carly Simon (you're so vain, boy!!) and I plan to read more about Harry, Hermione and Ron before I flutter off to sleep.

DAMN YOU 8:30 CLASS!!! (At least I'm done before noon! =))

My new classes

Today was the day of the dreaded paragraph writing. I got to say, it shouldn't have been a dreading kind of thing. I mean, I did pretty well with it. Of course, my content was a little ... worthy, but the structure itself was AWESOME. The only thing I got wrong was that I bolded my entire thesis, when it was only supposed to be one word: great. I was all, OHKAY. THANKS. He didn't seem that bad today. We will see how it goes in the upcoming weeks.

I also had two new classes: Psychology and PASS: Personal Achievement Success Strategies... Um, to be honest, I don't even know if it's that. I just took a wild guess. Anyway, it's all a bunch of weird assignments. I can't actually believe it's an ACTUAL class. As one of my fellow residence people said, "it's like you're taking high school classes, but a level up". And I'm all, EXACTLY. But I guess that was the point: To find out what I wanted to do. And... I do want to find out. I just know it's not going to be about learning and stuff. As for psychology, it seems pretty amazing. The teacher seems friendly, along with funny. And funny people are always on the top of my list for amazing things. What? I don't know. Sometimes I Just Type Without Thinking. I need to stop doing that sometimes.

In other news, I skyped with Leah today. It was VERY exciting! A two hour conversation, with WORDS and ALL. And a few visuals thrown in for good measure. Yeah! I think it should be a common occurrence or something.

Anyway, it's after 12:30, and I have a class at 8:30 tomorrow. I need my sleep!

P.S: My roommate left today for a single. I'll have to see when I get a new one.

Blogging needs to become a routine here.

Today, I had three classes out of six. For the most part, they don't seem that bad. *knocks on wood* It's pretty basic stuff for French, but I know it's going to be hard FOR ME. Because I am stupid with other languages. I don't even know the MOST BASIC STUFF. FAIL. And the English class, that isn't even something where you read books or anything. It's all about business stuff. Like, write this memo! And I'm all, ... I don't think I'm going to get that great of a mark, as much as it's sad to admit.

Maybe it'll change. Maybe I'll become more confident in that class. Hopefully. It's not like the work is intense or anything. Again, I knock on wood. *wood knocking*

Anyway, I talked to the people I met yesterday, and met an entirely new girl! I smiled at her, and I walked up to her. I pretty much talked to her all day until my last class... Where she didn't even come, even though she is in the same class. Weird. Or maybe she found out we don't have the same class. YOU NEVER KNOW. Anyway, she came to my room, and it was kind of awkward. I don't think I'm going to invite people to my room very much. Just saying.

But, I'm going to sleep now.

Orientation tomorrow!

Hello!

So I did meet people, but I don't think they're going to be people I will hang out with forever and ever. I did show one girl some vlogbrother videos, and Smart Mouths. She seemed to like it, but she is nice to EVERYONE, so you just NEVER KNOW. Yeah, I seem to be paranoid about that right now. Interesting. Ah well.

Tomorrow is orientation. I don't know how that'll go, but I hope it's okay. I already have someone to go with, so that's nice! We're not in the same program, though. It's sad. I haven't found anyone who is in that program. Except, it's probably because who leaves their city for a GENERAL program? YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

Exactly.

Hm. I wish I could get my time table, but I can't access it right now. FAIL. Seriously.

I'm going to go watch some youtube videos.

I moved in.

I failed at blogging lately. ALTHOUGH I HAVE AN EXCUSE, because I was MOVING! YEAH. INTO RESIDENCE. Right now I'm listening to MuggleCast, and !!!!! Only one person out of a group of ten gets to pick a wand! (Or the wand picks you. FAIL.)

Ah. I so need to buy my convention pass. I guess I'll be applying for my credit card NOW. (true!)

Except not right now.

I got my roommate. She came in the mail. (As that's how it works! Just like how the stork brings the baby.) She didn't bring a tv. ALTHOUGH that's okay, because there's only one cable thing. Hm.

I don't know what else to say.

It's my brother's birthday!

I watched a movie last night. And bought my textbooks. Except since they were bought used, I don't know if the store will ACTUALLY have them. IF they don't, I'm going to be all, WHY DID YOU ADVERTISE YOU DO HAVE THEM? STUPID. BUt I picked the option that if they don't have them, it'll replace it with something ELSE they have (the same textbook, but new, type thing). Which will change the total. I'm going to end up paying more when I pick up those stupid textbooks.

UGH.

My brother and I watched UP this morning. UP! ? I don't know. Anyway, I left halfway through to read HARRY POTTER. AND I DID. I also listened to Smart Mouths, and had some pizza. I gave my meat to my cat, because I didn't want to eat it. Yeah. I like cheese.

I bought a jacket. It's pretty COOL. I also bought my brother a gift (aka: I passed him $20 this morning at breakfast) and... yes. We also had some CAKE.

My dad is taking me to my eye doctor appointment. I hope his advice helps me in getting good glasses. I don't see this happening. The last time he went with me, my glasses were an EPIC FAIL. Truth. So I'm like to my sister, "hey! Try and finish work early so you can come!!" Hahaha... YES. We'll see how that GOES. Mhmhmhm.

Agh.

IDANO!

I like Garden State. It was a good movie. Some of the characters, while weird, were pretty in ter est ing. I like the music, too.

I don't know. I feel weird about leaving. While I'm not at that I AM GOING TO CRY STAGE, I know it'll come. I mean, maybe if I TRY AND MAKE MYSELF CRY I could, but right now, it's not really happening. Which is nice, yes.

Achk.

I'm going to miss Cosine like CRAZY. Sadface.

Well, I'm gonna go watch a movie. Or something.

I have a LOT to do for school... Except there's not as much stress as before!

WHOOT! I emailed my school on the weekend asking about my criminal record check not being done, AND it's said I don't need it done until NEXT year! Good thing. Although I still have to buy my textbooks. Gah.

Last night, I was reading some Calvin and Hobbes fanfiction. And some Harry Potter fanfiction. That's what you call ENTERING INTO THE VORTEX! thankfully, I didn't get too much of an urge to WRITE one. I think that'd be sucky sucky sucky.

IT'S TRUE.

I've been scratching my bug bites on my legs/foot, and now they're at that awkward stingy stage because of it. It's lame. Ughughughugh.

ANYWAY, today I didn't get as much accomplished as I wanted to. I didn't buy school stuff, NOR did I EVEN LEAVE MY HOUSE. I finished reading a book, and read another book. It was interesting... It was about a person going through the first two years after their child was born. MAN, children are CRAZY. I so don't want one for a REALLY LONG TIME. YEAH.

I moved my fan to beside me on the computer. It's HOT. AND DISGUISTING.

UGH.

Watching REBA

Today is Sunday. On Friday, I LEAVE.

How do I feel about this?

I DON'T KNOW.

On one hand, I'm happy. But on the other, I'm sad. Why did I pick THAT SCHOOL? Why did I pick THAT PROGRAM? Why did I WANT TO LIVE IN RESIDENCE? And these are the questions that are in my mind. Hm. Oh well. It'll work out. If not, in two years, I'll have something to say.

I still have a lot to buy/collect/pack. It's almost disguisting.

UGH.

Whoah! I don't know how I'm going to blog on Friday! Hopefully where we stay, there is some internet! IF NOT, FAIL! ALREADY! Dun. Dun. Dun. Unless I blog early in the morning. Before I go. Yeah. That could work! THAT COULD WORK, INDEED!

As will everything else! But for now, I'm going to watch REBA. A marathon of sorts!

A week! And a day?

I've been mulling over an idea for well... the last minute, and I'm thinking of GOING FOR IT. I'll see to it that more details will be put up shortly. It will be good. Well, I don't know about good, but it'll be interesting... Well, again, interesting is subjective, but it will just be something not like this.

INTRIGUING, HUH?

I don't know. Really, I don't.

Today I watched Psych with my sister (her first time! She liked it). I also watched some Nanny McPhee (where THREE people (i.e. my siblings and I) told her that a second one was out). Good times, I tell you! GOOD TIMES. I also made pizza for supper (cheese with green peppers), and had some marshmallows. YUMMY.

Oh, and my sister started cleaning up our room. She was trying to get me to pack up my clothes, but I told her I still have a week.

A WEEK.

THAT'S NOT A LONG TIME! So... I guess the countdown begins. Dun. Dun. Dun.

I don't know. Sheesh. Oh well...

*ignores biggest concern*

- Possum

I went through my books again!

WELL, I didn't work today. But apparently, one of the rooms I did yesterday was COMPLAINED ABOUT! How do I know this? One of my coworkers told me. I was like, "PLEASE! I cleaned that stupid room!" Apparently, the ashtrays weren't WASHED. And I was like, PFFT! I NEVER KNEW SMOKERS HAD STANDARDS! I MEAN, WITH THEIR OBVIOUS ACTIONS OF SLOWLY KILLING THEMSELVES! So if my boss says something to me about that tomorrow, I am going to say that. Because right now? I don't care. I really just want YESTERDAY to be my last day, but my parents are all, no... And I'm all, YES. And my dad got into my work ethic, and I was like ... I don't care. Which is not something my parents want to hear when I'm about to embark on the rest of my life.

So I have to stick with it one more day.

Sigh.

(sigh indeed.)

Anyway, I got into my books again (in my actions of packing up my room) and ... I'm just not picking all my books this time. I mean, while I do like His Dark Materials, I don't think I'm going to have some SUDDEN URGE to read them. And if I do, I'll just ask my mom to mail them to me. Or just go to the public library in the city. It's not that hard. (Although I can't bring myself to leave the works of Sarah Dessen, Maureen Johnson and, even if it kills me, Meg Cabot with me.)

Much easier. It's still a lot of books, but not too much this time. It's good!

Findings!

I was flipping through my library books this morning, trying to figure out what one to read. You know, what book will be the FIRST one that I complete? Well, I picked Intensely Alice by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. Not just because it seems interesting, but because I've been reading about Alice for SO LONG! I don't even think I was in high school when I ventured into her world... And I LOVE IT! So of course I want to see what's a-happening now! So I am going to go START IT as soon as I finish writing this.

Yeah.

But something ELSE happened when I was flipping through the books! I found a gift certificate! For the movies. 10 dollars (I checked). Now, I don't know what to do. I mean... Do I return it? Or do I just keep it? Because if I keep it, this can pay for my movie adventure in November when I go see Harry Potter. PLUS I don't know if the people will even GET the card back... You know? (I obviously made my decision and just trying to justify it at this point.) Yeah. So that was exciting enough, I'd say. You never know what you find in books... Especially library books! I actually once forgot my passport in a book, and my mom and I had to go on the shelf to look for it... We found it, don't worry.

But now my mom makes me check every book before I return it.. IT WAS JUST ONE TIME! (ha.)

Yeah. Not good.

Anyway, my computer is HERE in my city! I just have to sweet talk my mom into taking me to pick it up. Like I suspected, I won't be able to just get it in the mail. Too bad, but meh. Another exciting thing in the mail was that I got some money from a scholarship thing! Now I can REALLY pay for my own books! Well, not me per say, but STILL! IT'S EXCITING! Also: I'm going to follow my teacher's advice when he says if you get scholarship money, USE IT FOR SCHOOL. So... As tempting as it is, I'm not going to use it for LeakyCon. I'll keep that for my paycheque.

I worked, I came home, I read

I worked today. I also helped a few other people, which lead to not even leaving work until 5:45. I didn't mind, since I've only got a few weeks left before I go away to school. Aka: No more money coming in. Sad, but... I'll find another job when I'm at school (perhaps).

I don't know yet, to be honest. Probably, since I'll actually want to be able to afford such. There is only so much my parents can do from a far distance.

Speaking of far distances (haha segue!), I talked to my brother this evening. He told me about how he was near my school, and such. I asked him how the city was, and he said it was like the city HERE that I reside in now. So I guess that's reasonable. My parents already told me that, but it's nice to know from my brother.

My brother who is only six years old! (LIE!)

Nothing much else to report, really.

- Possum

I picked the movies I'm taking!

I have to make this quick, but today was okay. My dad and brother FINALLY left on their little trip, and all I can say is, TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH! Seriously. They were supposed to go after my brother's grad. That's my dad for you.

He doesn't know the concept of time.

So today I went through my movies that I'm bringing to school. I ended up with about 53 of them. My mom took some away (Star Trek, Jurassic Park) but I got away with taking Harry Potter and Friends. I'll have to see what my brother and dad say to my selection later when they get home.

Hm. I don't think there will be much objections. Sure, they'll probably look for the Harry Potter movies in November when the movie is released, but... c'est la vie. That's all I can say, really.

Next up: My books.

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.

I be done!

I had my social science exam! AND NOT JUST THAT, but my last high school exam, EVER!

*knocks on wood*

I didn't study at all. And the take home portion? I finished that this morning, about ten minutes before my actual exam started. Surprisingly, it went okay! I remembered everything, and... yes.

I am almost done high school! Now all I have to do is hand in my volunteer hour forms. It's sad, because ... I need to fill those damn things out! DILEMMA OF SORTS!

Right now I'm watching Buffy. I find this a good way to start my summer holiday!

It's the episode where Buffy is working at a fastfood place, and there might be HUMAN MEAT IN THE BURGERS!! It totally makes you want to work at a fast food place!

Working... Oh, job search, how you sneak up.

So I should start that soon enough.

My business exam!

Today I had my business exam. It was easy because either my teacher made it super easy with taking questions from our old tests, or because I actually studied.

One of the last exams in my high school career, and the very first time I actually studied.

Crazy, huh?

It makes a difference. *takes note on how to do tests next year*

I was actually rereading all my old tests last night, that when I went to bed... I was dreaming about them! And when I was in the shower this morning, I was just shouting out random facts. "NAFTA was created on January 1st, 1994!" Etc. If anyone was listening, I'm sure it'd be very ??? for them.

Ha. Not to say I did perfect. There were a couple questions that I blanked out on... But overall, I think I did okay. Yeah! Good stuff.

So today I bought myself a salad, fruit cup, doughnut and chocolate milk. Why? It was my afternoon FEAST! As I had to wait for my mom to be done work... So I sat in the car, reading Harry Potter, listening to music, sleeping and just sweating.

So. Damn. Hot.

So last night I couldn't blog because at first I wasn't allowed on the internet due to phone line issues, and later in the night, it wouldn't let me on! AND! It was thundering/lightning so I had to turn OFF the computer. And the night before, I was finishing up my homework! I didn't finish until 12am, and at that point, I was just tuckered out.

I'll make up for this lack of blogging SOMEHOW.

So! My last high school class EVER, I watched Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. YEAH! That's how I ended my high school career!.

Fact: It's kind of sad to say goodbye to my teachers this year. I'm very ... about that. So I'm going to give them CARDS on Monday/Tuesday and be nice about that! Because even though I'm done my last exam on Monday, I still have to go to the school on Tuesday to get my project I was working on this past week (creative style!) and my mark. So that's when I'll be all, "Hey! Here's this card!"

As my teacher gave me a card this morning. He gave everyone a card.

So here's to you, business teacher: You're one of my favorites.

=)

And now I'm just attempting to tie a tie for my brother...

Yeah! Blog idea potential ... of fail? I don't know.

Here's a lie for you:

Today, I ate cheese and watched The Simpsons.

It's almost believable, but that's a lie.

Today I went to school, co-op, and a convenience store to buy a slushie. As I was thirsty and it seemed like a good idea. A couple days ago my sister and I went to a different convenience store to buy a slushie. (We were waiting for my mom at her doctor's appointment, so we had time to kill.)

I had a fanta flavoured one! IT WAS YUMMY! Todays? It was just blue powerade.

Ha. So I have a blog idea that involves TWILIGHT! And not like "I HATE IT!" but why I LIKE IT. I know, I'm shocked. I'm just kind of not wanting to go through the background information for the blog post... But it's been on my mind for awhile now, and it works!

I gave this girl in second period a magazine I had on Twilight. It was an old Entertainment Weekly magazine, with "Edward" and "Bella". The one even before Breaking Dawn was released... Or the movie. So that's why I bought it. But since I'm no longer a fan, I thought she would enjoy having it!

And she did!

She was all "THANK YOU!" Etc!

Haha. It was a good day, because we were able to watch Harry Potter! And the guy sitting across from me said something to me. EXCEPT I COULDN'T EVEN HEAR WHAT HE SAID! But yes. He has a pretty smile, that boy! He got a haircut, and I was tempted to be all, NICE HAIRCUT! But I kept my mouth shut, because I don't even talk to him that much. Hah.

Why am I putting this in my blog?

Anyway.

Harry Potter reread coming up! YEAH!

It's okay. Really. (truth)

I'm working on a big powerpoint that I have to present tomorrow.

As in, I'm juuuuuuuuuuust opening the powerpoint program and starting the presentation. It's okay though, because it's my last BIG presentation for high school, and and and I don't mind too much.

Truth!

Although I can really see myself staying up late to finish it... Yes.

But as I said before... It's okay.

Today I listened to music, and did my work at co-op. I also had a really funny time in second period, where I started to laugh a lot. I also annoyed this guy who sits across from me, I think. Not just I THINK, but I KNOW. But that's okay! My teacher did mention about doing our review for our class on HARRY POTTER. And she was all, "thanks for the idea!" So yeah! -bows-

It's fun stuff.
