[Oct. 22nd, 2006|05:18 pm] |
Last night went out with the roomies and some others to Falite's for Jess birthday. Much alcohol was consumed, much dancing was done. I had a fantastical blast, soo long since I've had that much fun at a club. I worked it! And i was wearing this new shirt, like ten dollar discount rack, but It killed . Strangers started conversations about the fantasticalness of it.. what are the chances.
Ahh good times. Now I must heal my liver, and brain. |

Its been a week and a half since I brought my computor in to get the virus removed. And today I find out that they can't re-install windows, so obviously the hard drive needs to be changed. What does that mean folks?? Well it means another two FUCKING weeks until I have my computor. I can't take this, I am so behind in my homework, I had to hand in a paper in FUCKING handwritting.
If I knew I could get away with the murder of the Virus engeneer, i would do it. Kill him, slowly. Morals be damned. This is costing me marks.

I'm kind of in a place where I dont like updating. Which is bad, cuz i'm not a phone person.. and am therefor cutting myself off from all of you wonderful people.
So here goes.
These past two weeks have been crazy.
Its don-trainning camp and we've been doing workshops from 9am to 6pm for the last 14 days. I've learnt everything from conflict mediation, to policies to the fact that I can climb up high.
As to that last point. One of the activities we did was a ropes course where I eventually psyched myself up enough to climb up this tall telephone pole and cross ropes 34 and 40 feet in the air. I was pretty messed up after (what with my total fear of hights) but it was worth it.
I've also been continuously amazed at the quality of people they hired. Sure, there are still some who are questionable in my mind. BUt many MANY who I had initally written off turned around an impressed the hell out of me. Its fun and challenging being surounded by people who have as much training as I do. When i got into this i was all "well i've got years of leadership and animating and mediating skills.. top that" BUt people here actually can. Which is awsome.
Today was the last day of training. And I feel sooo lucky to be here. Im jelous of me. Tomorrow the International students move in and then on Sunday the 1st years move in. I'm scared and psyched at the same time.
And its sooo beautiful outside. Last night we all went to my supervisors house on campus and shared lifelines.. which are 15 minute dialogues about our life. Some pretty intense stuff was said.. and I'm amazed and honourd with what people intrused me with. Unfortunately my lifeline was kind of blah in comparision. Something they reminded me was lucky. BUt I feel like i didnt really entrust them with any secrets. Not all that many scars to bear.
So now I'm rushing around, cleaning the house, making and putting up door tags... doing all sorts of last minute shit.
I've still got to straighten out my course schedule, find out if I can drop courses, buy a cable for my screen (or go downtown to pick up my old one), buy my last books, pay for my laundry card, and most importantly CALL MY FRIENDS.
Peggy , can you email me your address. I cant call you but I can certainly send you snail mail,.
I miss you all. ALOT. These past two weeks have made me realize what awsome people I'm surrounded by.
You know I'm not the one to get sentimental but Peggy, Donald, Alice, Orlando, Crystal I adore you and miss you and am thinking about you. |

Alice wants to set me up with a guy she went out on. I dont know how I feel about this. Feels wring somehow. But she insists it isnt. Isnt there some sort of girl code that applies here.
Then again.. she sais he is a LOTR fan.
Today was the bussiest fucking day ever at work. But I've come home ith a nice cold beer that we found in a room a few days ago. So its not a bad end.
I plan on showering, finishing my beer and then going up to the airconditioned lounge to read some Patty C.
These past few days have passed in a blur of sleep and work and sticky hottness. The weather is terribly icky, and i wake up in a pool of yuck each morning with a slight headache. Then work. Then sleep. I really need to get out more.
Oh, I won employee of the month this month. Kind of cool. A 25$ gift certificate to the Eaton's center and my co-workers admiration and jelousy. Then again.. i feel kind of funny being singled out. Already I get the best shifts (because I'm main night housekeeper now.. unofficially.. but i get the most night shifts), and have a boss as a best friend.
But its still really nice to know that I'm appreciated, and that co-workers also voted for me (counted for half of the choice).
Not to be rude. But typing is getting in the way of my taking a shower. And my glasses are off so i'm straining my eyes. So ciao. |

Such a great day
Mom and grandma took the bus up from montreal yesterday. And finally, i got to spend a day with them in Toronto.
Woke up early, after very little sleep (due to a late night two hour startreck marathon). But they didnt get much sleep either because of Ryerson's damn airconditioning. Its rediculously loud for about an hour.
Then went to breakfast downstaires at Neill Wysik. Wend to shop at Eatons center for about 7 hours. Yeah, rally shopping. Poor Grandma. We made her walk quite a bit. But it was awsome spending the day with them. Plus Eatons center was having sales so we got shoes, jeans, frying pans and other random wonderful stuff.
We also went to Elephan and Castle. A british pub at the corner of my street for some nice brewskies and food. I had um.. Yorkshire pudding. Mmmm. Then got some icecream and came home.
Alice bought me a welcome to the house cd. How awsome is that really! I didnt know that was a gift giving occasion. But dude, i now own Black Eyed Peas new cd.
Later, alice decided she wante d to stay home (probably for the best since she was wearing a lumberjack shirt) while i brought mom and grandma to the pride festival.
Randomely we found David Usher performing the end of his concert. It was realy nice. I love his voice.
Then we walked a while in the crowd while mom and grandma gaped open mouthed at the parade of peoples around us. And eventually wound up at home.
I am so happy they came up. I dont know how many more chances like this i will have with the both of them in T.O. a 7 hour trip is a bit much for my grandma. But I know this is something I'm going to remember for ever. |
