(no subject)
OK, well it's been a good chunk of time since a real update, so I thought I'd do it now while I'm bored :p
Summer has certainly been interesting until now.
Let's start from the very beginning....I had summer school for a month because I was short a credit (stupid Mr. Van failed me...he made me hate math)
Summer school wasn't that bad, actually, and I had an amazing teacher. We had so many class discussions, it was awesome. So many controversial issues were debated...*sigh* in a sick way, I miss being in that class..haha
So anyway, with that credit, I am officially a high school graduate. Now, it's a bit of a hassle because I think that Seneca is going to need proof that I graduated, and for some reason I have not recieved my report card. Which basically means I have no proof. So I call the school and they tell me that they don't have my report card...SO WHERE IS IT? I have a hunch (YEAH? WELL I HAVE A CAR FULL OF PEOPLE!!! -for Valerie to understand) that they sent it to my old address, because they are idiots. I changed it with them a few times, actually, but I don't think they get it. So I have to wait for next week because the person I spoke to the phone said (in these exact words) "There is nothing that I can do. Call next week and see if the person working then can do something about it."
WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT OF HAVING A SECRETARY WORKING IN THE SCHOOL IF SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT SHE IS DOING???
Another frustrating thing is that I have to get this police reference check because I am working with kids next year. So I got this form from Seneca for the Toronto Police Department Reference Check, and a letter attached saying that I can take the filled form to any police station (including those outside of Toronto) and get the check. So my friend dropped me off at the station at Yonge and Major Mackenzie. I went in with my form and the guy tells me that I have to go to the headquarters in NEWMARKET to get it done! I did not know how to get there, so I called my dad and he ended up driving me down to Newmarket (which took about 40 minutes...and he was bitching at me soo much because I interrupted his day). We finally find the place, but THEN they tell me that I CAN'T USE THE FORM BECAUSE IT IS MADE FOR THE TORONTO POLICE! gaaaah! I ended up having to call Seneca so that they could send me the right form. Mind you, this needs to be in by September 1st..I just got the form today, and I have to make another wonderful trip down to Newmarket, but this time I think I will find a way to take the bus. I think there is a bus on Yonge that runs down there.
Wow..this has been more of a rant up to now..time for nice thoughts :)
Anyway, other than all that...Things have been fun. I am taking driving lessons and i think that I will be able to go for my test in about a month or so. Well, maybe more because I think that I should get a lot of practice before throwing away money for that stupid test. I am actually finding driving to be extremely fun..I thought I would hate it, I wasn't very enthusiastic about starting the lessons.
I realized that exactly a year ago, I went on Birthright. Man, I miss Israel..I am planning a trip there next summer. Hopefully, I'll have enough money..If not, I must prepare to beg my parents a LOT. Israel is actually SUCH a gorgeous country. So many people have the wrong impression of it. They think that you live in fear every day because of the bombings and stuff, but it's SO different when you are actually there. I know it's just because I was born there, but I really feel that I belong in that country. The air is different, the people are different, everything is different. Better, in many ways. Not to say that Canada is a bad country, but I feel so out of place sometimes. I can't explain it.
Alright this has been a super long post, so I will stop now and save some for later :p
If you are still reading this, THANK YOU! haha
