Just wanna welcome vhayden1992 to the crew. Hi! <3

And nothing much new. Got off work, got myself a library card (don't ask how I survived this long as a reader without one), then headed home. Now I'm reading out on the dock and working on my lack of tan. Peace!

Wow. I feel like such a douche. I ended up pulling a no show at work because I don't feel like going in...well, there's more to it than that but I don't want to beat around the bush and make it seem like I'm guiltless because I am. I just didn't show up to an 8 hour shift where I could've made some money. Instead? I'm feeling more depressed than ever for multiple reasons and text my supervisor saying I can't show. UGH!!

And now I can't even enjoy the random day off I get now. *guilty*

Hi. :)

Long time no see guys!

Thought I'd make a nice post about what's going on in my life. I just got home from work and I have to say, it's beginning to turn around for me; finally, my perseverance paid off. I've finally gotten the hang of pretty everything I need to know and can be left alone and avoid all that work drama. ;D

Besides that, I'm getting more and more excited for my first year of university. I'm expecting my student loans update in the upcoming week and I get to learn who my roommate's going to be sometime this month. :D I'm getting so stoked for this!! We have these success coaches that phone us every once in awhile and they are assigned to students to help them through their first year and let them know what to expect. Mine called me for the first time earlier this week and we really bonded. I asked her about when I should show up, etc. and she gave me all the answers. She's pretty upbeat like me so we talked for a good hour about random shit like what we did for Canada day and stuff. lol

Anywho, my brother finally returned home and I'm kind bummed. I don't like picking favorites but I'd have to say that he tops all of the four of them. He's my only 'full' sibling and is more my age so we've always been best buds. So it's hard seeing him go back home everytime. But good news is I booked off 2 weeks and will be going down to his and my dad's place shortly. :D

So that's some stuff going on in my life. Not too much other than that except for working and trying to figure out how to pay off my tuition. So far I've got my first semester covered with scholarships and what not. :D

Tootles! Hope everyone's having a fantastic summer!!

Well I think it's safe to say that I need to call a bit of a hiatus....if I can spell it. Yeah I graduated but now I'm busier then ever with work and my brother visiting. I'll be getting back into the swing of things for regular posts and such once I'm comfortabley setttled into my freshman year of university. <3

:D

Wow, haven't posted here in awhile. But I thought I should seeing as the big Grad day took place yesterday night. <3 It was fabulous and I wanted to post some pictures here for friends and others who wanted to take a gander. I was also surprised to win some scholarships on stage so yay! I'm in the brown gown....*rhymes*
( GRAD 09~ )

Having absolutely nothing to do at all.

Man, today was surreal. Made my first 'adult' purchase...and no, it was nothing perverted. It was actually an iron for my dorm. Crazy huh? Who'd think I'd be buying the iron??! Crazy!! I also got myself a nice bright and yellow laundry basket from to and from the laundromat. :D

Besides that, work was eh. Everyone was bummed about being there so we all just kinda goofed off. That and this stingy, bitchy supervisor of ours took off early so it was "party all night long" time for us. lol Oh and Friday I'll be finally getting a till and till password/number thingy of my very own! What a great honour! /sarcasm

Oh and to top my Sunday off some more my mother switched my room with my sister's so now I'm upstairs and she's got my lair. It's suck-y cause now I lose my lock and privacy I had down there AND I have to keep my room clean now because I have this crappy bigass window showing my room off to the world and I'm right off the livingroom. At least when I was downstairs I could kinda slack in the cleaning department for a couple days without mom getting on my case.

Whatever, I'm only here for another 2 or so months. Wow, I can't believe I'm almost moving out. It's not going to hit me till the day of though; like every other big moment in my life. lol

Night fellas! :D

I just got back from my Accepted Student BBQ at Trinity Western University and guys? I am so stoked about going there again. lol
I swear, each time I hear TWU or learn anything more on it I get this giddy feeling about attending university there on the coast. We met other students who were new to TWU and heading into their first year like me this fall. I met my admissions counselor, Amy, again; a few other teachers; my success coach, Nicola; and tons of others! I went to a course selection info thing and when I got home tonight I chose my outline/schedule out. I think I'm going for an education degree for teaching History at a secondary level. Not sure yet but TWU allows you to switch around quite a few times so all is good. So far I've chosen:

UNIV 101
ENGL 103
HKIN 190
BIOL 103
RELS 101
HIST 135

The way I registered for the courses allows me a nice Friday with only my Human Kinetics coarse that day.  Besides all that, I'm truly excited about university. We got to experience Langley a bit and stayed in a handicap hotel room. :D

Okay, from the top and in order:

Peachland, Kelowna, Surrey, Kamloops, Yahk, Creston, NFLD, Kelowna (again), Cranbrook, Kelowna (again), Westbank, Kelowna (again), Vernon!! :D

Guys...?


I got my license today! :D

Besides that random, today was filled with mixed emotions. I bought my friend's CD which he had made in a local recording studio. It's amazing btw! I really hope he makes it big because then I'll have a copy of his original stuff. lol

School's alright. We had this couple come into our PE class and teach us the growing sport and wonder of rowing! :D Then we went out walking in the blistering hot weather of the pre-summer. Yikes. I was joking with a friend saying I thought I saw a coke machine or something right next to her pretending I was seeing mirages. I'm such a dork! :D

Then yearbook came and we saw this terrific video by a friend my mine:




Good stuff. Besides all that, it was just plain hot. I hate to be the first one to complain about it but COME ONE! 30 degrees is just pushing it for me...I live in Canada for a reason buddy. lol

Yay I'm getting a tan!! And muscles!! :D

And work, I've decided, is something I need to get over. I need to develop a backbone against these people I work with because I'm going to find them everywhere. So instead of quitting and finding another job I'm sticking with Dairy Queen and working through all that mess that I hate like drama and stressed freaks. Suffering is a good thing, it leads to me becoming more immune to stupid. lol

Besides that, my shift today was good; I'm beginning to get the hang of drive-thru and till which is a plus. History class we're beginning our unit on Italy which will be interesting once again. I'm getting 95% in History now actually. <3

PE was deadly last week. It was the first week in my Outdoor Adventures class and we're cycling right now. We did some mountain biking Thursday, hiking Friday, and a quick cycle on Wednesday and I'm still not feeling it which is making me feel proud because I'm pushing myself. I guess all that biking around town I do is actually paying off. I feel healthy again and it's a great feeling!

Weather's great too btw!! <3

I haven't posted in a bit because I've been feeling kinda crummy. My birthday was just a horrible day after school (during school was awesome because so many people took the time to wish me a good one!) because my parents were fighting again...awkward.

Yesterday I stayed home but today was brutal in a good way. PE killed me because I've switched into Outdoor Ed and we went biking up some retarded paths; my butt and thigh's are feeling it right now. History we put Stalin on trial and we were so close to winning but if you asked my team mates they would blame our loss on me. My yearbook teacher sent someone to come get me just before I went on my concluding statement so I had to leave, I pass the sheet with info on it to a team mate and leave to come back to hearing the verdict: we lost? I had worked so hard in under 5 minutes to put that conclusion and our defending side together and somehow we lost? Turns out those team mates of mine weren't able to speak in front of the class and were unknowledgable with my notes and the good side of Stalin as a politician. I wanted to rip my hair out!! It didn't matter if they didn't know anything they just simply had to create sentences out of the points I made on the piece of paper I handed to them on my way out. Of course though, public speaking is hard for them...people need to get over themselves and speak up/out! I realize I'm being unsympathetic to those who are actually afraid of public speaking but I was pissed; I don't have a problem at all with speaking in front of peers...they did and they had the nerve to get pissed at me for leaving!! ARGH!!

I am this close to quitting DQ. The work's not a big deal it's when it gets the slightest bit busy and everyone seems to blow a gasket. I mean, if you just keep your smile and take it easy the night goes by a lot faster but no they freak and get pissed off at each other. As a trainee I get the rotten end of the stick when things go wrong because I don't know any better.

I'm just sick of the people I work with! Gah! Mixed messages was the theme of my night when I walk out with a cleaner someone gives me, followed up by someone telling me it's wrong and I'm a failure with cleaning products, then finally supervisor walks in and tells me I'm [again] using the wrong stuff and gives me the original stuff I had my hands on. ARGH %$&#$^%#$*%*%(^%$#(BA:IOFGB:AD

( FML x 100 )

I'm sorry Lord Jesus, God, Mary, and all those other people who are reading this for this is not my usual language. This is just what happens to me when I'm stuck in a room with a bunch of mental cases and can't vent for more than 6 hours. :D

I just plan on taking resumes out this next week and looking for other potential summer jobs because these guys are ridiculous. I could easily take on the work load required at DQ but the people working there....don't even get me started....oh, wait. Already did. lol

To be brutally honest? I most certainly do seek attention. I enjoy getting praise for things I do well and I even go out of my way, sometimes, to get said attention. I'm working on this selfish bahaviour obviously; I hate that I live off of attention. I don't want it controlling my life so there, I admitted it. I'm human.

Besides that? I'm feeling this extreme anxiety for my upcoming shift. It's a warm, beautiful summer day which means DQ's going to be possibly crazy busy this evening. I'm scared and yet this crazy part inside of me reminds me that it's a good thing it's going to be busy because I'll actually get some practice on till too. But I feel this near-nauseous feeling and I hate it; I'm such chicken shit. ARGH! I'll surpvive because I have a terrific day at home by myself tomorrow which will allow me to clean and get everything ready for school....and my birthday....and did I mention I work ON my birthday? I know I'm turning 19 but still...I wanna have a party and have family call and wish me the best!! I mean who wants to work on their birthday? What sucks is I have everything single other day off except for my big day....*fumes*

In History class today we watched this interesting movie called Archangel which theorized/guessed/fantasized about what/if Stalin had another 'secret' son who would rise again to take over his Russian empire when the mighty dictator died. We haven't finised it but I definitely encourage all you fellow historians to watch it. Daniel Craig's in it. lol

Then in PE we had our test for Badminton and running which were as horrible as I had first worried. I hate running. I'm just not born an athlete I suppose.

But the biggest news of all? I'm typing this entry from my good old lap top that we finally picked up from Staples for repairs. I messed something up months ago and only finally got it into the repairshop for a check up. Everything's working fine now but I plan on being extra careful. Btw does anyone know how I would go about creating back up disks for the future?

So besides that, May long weekend is here, my birthday's this next Tuesday (which I found out I'm scheduled to work on that day), and I get to sleep in so I'm more than thrilled. <3

Haven't, and doubt I will, plan anything for my birthday so...yeah. It's time for a more quiet, family-oriented birthday with cake of course. <3

Night!

Haven't posted in awhile but since I have some chill time before bed here's a quick run down of the past few days and a nice little entry of today:

• Sunday's shift was retarded/stupid/retarded/ridiculous/retarded/waste of my time/did I say retarded?
• I'm already beginning to dread work
• school's fine
• mid-terms next week
• birthday's coming up and have no clue what to do for it....
• been struggling through this unproductive mode of mine
• I think my period on the horizon
• can't wait till may long

Just walked in from work so I'm sore and tired. I'm so happy though because I have a few days off now. :D
History class is getting so interesting...we're learning about the Russian Revolution which is cool because this is a huge chunk of my family history seeing as I'm related to a Bolshevik and all. lol
PE's PE. I'm reading Life of Pi which is kinda slow paced but....different. I'm not sure what to make of it so far. I'm on chapter 46 already and it's just undecided on whether or not I love it or hate it. lol

Oh and Andrew Allen is coming to Vernon once more and I've convinced my mother to come with me to his concert this weekend! Yay!! It's like a birthday present from my Andrew honey bunch. <3

Off work and have the rest of the day to go!!

Last night I watched the new Star Trek movie and I've just got one thing to say:


FREAKIN' AMAZING!!!!1 :D

I've worked for the past two days so I haven't really had much of a chance to get online much other then for homework. Yippee for working again? I have to keep reminding myself through all the long days and the friends commenting on DQ's track record for being a horrible working environment. UGH.

I know it'll suck but it's not long term. Have to keep reminding myself. Might just become my mantra for life.

Anywho, finally watched the FMAB ep 5...I've always loved that episode in the old anime, manga, and now especially this anime (artwork will never get old because it's amazing!). The emotions are just...man, I can't get over the intensity of that ep; and the artwork! *smacks lips*

Besides that, just added all my pictures to my old photobucket account which I blew the dust off of just 10 minutes ago. I just wanted to get them off the family computer so when I get my laptop fixed I have them still. <3

Ok. Done talking now. Nothing else new besides already having to remind my boss I can't work while I'm at church this Sunday. Foreshadowing? I hope to freakin' God it's not. *crosses fingers, prays, etc*
