Happy Hump Day to All!!
Last day to my three day holiday from work. Now I work from Thursday to Sunday. Yay, fun. But today was, for the most part, longer than usual. Or at least it felt like it. The first half of the day was spent on the hard plastic gymnasium seats listening to this police officer lecture about drugs and making the right choice.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for what these guys are doing. I spent the last 8 years of my life dealing with an alcoholic druggie in my family and I understand perfectly how hard it is on them and the family but couldn't they do this in a more interesting way? Powerpoint presentations only take us so far. I've always been fascinated behind the psychology of drug usage and alcoholism, but even this presentation lost me and I wanted out.
School is almost done...and with it brings the realization that I should've been graduating this year. But because I spent a year away in Japan, I fell back, bla bla bla...you know the jist. I'm just bummed that I'm going to have to suffer through another year of hell. My friends, who are grading this year, have prom pictures up everywhere on facebook and it's sucks looking at them because I know that that could've been me. I'm getting the hang of saying I'm in grade 11 still instead of saying 'technically' right after though. XD
Tonight we went out clothes shopping for my mother who felt that her wardrobe needed an update. I ended up buying myself a couple of books. I finally got myself on Macbeth and the Twelth Night (my favs of old Willy's). And a book called 'What is History Today...?' which is a compilation of definitions and explanations of what history has become (i.e. military history, social history, etc). I'm into that kinda stuff. Then I also picked up 'World on Fire' written by Amy Chua which talks about how exporting the free market and globalization has brought along Ethnic Hatred and Instability. Once again, I've always been interested in that. My mom lost me in the book section sadly. I get stuck in this state of near Euphoria when I see shelves and shelves of books. I could just walk around and read them forever if I wanted to.
Besides books, I did buy myself a couple of shirts and a cute 'BRAND NAME' purse. I almost shot myself but it was too cute to put down and I've never been a purse-person so...for some reason the shopping god was in a mood today. =P
Now I'm off to get started on the mountain of homework I got in math today because I know I'm going to be busy juggling work and school this week. ^^;
Food Journal (missed yesterday):
-cereal with banana
-apple
-banana
-cookies
-fries
-carrots
-chicken
-cucumber
Man, when you look at that, I did really good today. Woot! I even got in some exercise yesterday for nearly an hour so I'm on a roll. I'm gonna go get some more time on that treadmill before I call it a night. Peace! <3
