News
I'll begin with a summary of recent events that pertain to only me (selfcentered? - it's MY journal).
(a) Exams went well. Overall marks are good:
Biology - 91 (meh..)
Gym - 100 (because I'm just SO athletic 8-) - more on that later)
Organic chemistry - 94 (I hate organic)
Waves, optics and modern physics - 96 (I love physics)
Humanities - 98 (dies)
English - 94
Giving me an overall average of 95 or something
I fucking better get the Dean's list for the stuff I suffered this semester. Although, I didn't really do much - was sort of a slack semester..
Speaking of slacking, this coming semester (Monday) will be even more slack. I'm taking astrophysics, oceanography, linear algebra, english and french. Muhaha..
Aside from that, I got a digital camera for christmas, went to a party for new years. Was a lot of fun. Watched family guy and missed the countdown. [I don't care that I'm typing in fragments] Was abandoned inexplicably by another one of my friends. Who could have predicted that he would have left me the same way that my other two ex-friends (who he had despised) had. It seems to be the way. Abandon Eleanor and make up some self-orientated reason. She doesn't need anyone anyway. Just leave, you'll be happier. I hate people.
Although, this case didn't really end up in hate - just hurt. It's probably for the best. I just caused him misery anyway. I guess I'm the selfcentered one. *slaps wrist* Bad eleanor.
I'm in the light opera performance of Guilbert and Sullivan's Patience this year. I'm the understudy of Ella and will be playing her in the performance for some random school. I get to do my solo. Excitment combined with fear. The show is rather chaotic this year. I nearly attacked one of the other chorus members yesterday for being a pushy bitch. Somehow she feels she can tell people where they are meant to be without herself being in the right spot. All the chorus was telling her and she just pretended not to hear. I hate hypocrites.
I start my cello lessons today. That's exciting. I've always wanted to learn cello. I hope the first lesson goes well.
Andrew and I went to a scandinavian spa in mont tremblant. It was nice. There are hot tubs, saunas, steam rooms, where you heat up your body temperature for 10 minutes. Then you jump in a nordic bath (13*C) or go through a waterfall or shower or jump in the lake (0*C). After that rush you regain your normal body temperature by relaxing in a rest area - a solarium, next to an outdoor fire, or in a hammock somewhere. It was very fun and relaxing. There were all these deer about too and being in a bathing suit in the snowy mountains was quite odd because it wasn't too cold. It was 18+ too so there weren't any annoying kids. Although, I saw a few that looked about 16. They don't card you or anything - just make you swear your age.
I'm going to see Shawn tonight. I haven't seen him in a longg time. It's nice though because we only see eachother every few months but everytime it's like the time seperating us from our last visit didn't pass.
I wander how whitney is. I haven't spoken to her in a while.
Oh yea. My health. I had a leg attack on Sunday. Very painful to the point I couldn't walk. Lasted about 20 minutes until i went into a hot bath and relaxed. As I was getting out of the bath I had a sharp pain in my chest. My parents think theres something wrong with my heart. My feet were stone cold. I've been in pain ever since. Spreading all over my body. I don't know what it is. My dad says if it's what he thinks it is I'll drop dead suddenly from heart failure or something. I wouldn't mind that. It's my turn to abandon the world anyway.
I used to not like Alexi's screaming. I thought it was the utter destruction of an extremely capable band. Just like I think Finntroll's vocalist kills them. (there's another death metal band for you to hate). But Alexi's voice grew on me and if you do happen to look up their lyrics they're rather nice. Their recent albums are more comprehensible so it's better. Alexi uses his voice as an instrument. He doesn't scream straight through songs like a lot of black metal bands (I hate black metal). That's why they have instrumental interludes. It's at parts that need that extra touch of sentiment. It's also conducive to the concert atmosphere because people react differently. If it was pure instrumental people would watch the band and sacrifice the show to shake their heads every now and then. But when alexi screams - the crowd gets angry and people thrash. No, they're not thrash metal. But I know I love giving a good punch to my neighbor to let out some steam. Then again, Alexi is the only vocalist that I'll let get away with that kind of vocals. I don't like any others. I prefer melodic singing. Sing along :)
Oh yea, and in concerts people don't scream "We love you bodom", they chant. Quebecers tend to chant "Children" but most normal people say bodom.
There actually is a band that sounds like a pig orgy with drums attached (no guitar - that's too technical) - they're called mayhem. I saw them live and they actually have pig heads on fire on stage and usually one flying about through the crowd. Somehow got knocked unconscious by it once. They're a shit band - hence the large stage performance. Generic screaming and noisy instruments is typical of nu metal. Though, they usually add a touch of popstyle catchiness to make it mainstream and rake in the money. I hate nu metal.
Now I must play sims. I love sims :)
