when you try your best, but don't succeed
Wow.
It's been 6 months since I last did anything on here. I think a layout is needed, maybe as a fresh beginning. I apologize to anyone who may have missed me (forceoblique may be the only one). I will try to summarize quickly what has happened.
School came and went. I finished with a 92% average. However, during the exam times, my closest grandmother suffered a heart attack and I was deeply devastated. She is okay now, but it may have been one of the biggest scares in my life. She had every symptom more or less and for once, went to see a doctor. She has a serious infection in her lungs, but she is managing. She had to quit smoking or risk dying.
I was really busy at one point in time, but now I can reflect on what I've done. In May, I went to France for 10 days. However, this trip was rather unfortunate. I believe it was too many places in such a small time. Paris 3 days, the south of France the remaining 5 (2 days were flying). It was too much to see. I need more time to enjoy the places I'm seeing, not just sitting on a bus driving by. On another sour note, it rained almost every single day, which really does put a damper on the mood of the trip. All in all, it was okay. It made me appreciate my family's trips, despite how god awful they can turn out.
On a similar note, in February, I travelled to Italy with my family. The country itself was beautiful and wonderful in so many ways, I can't possibly sum it up. However, my family and I never seem to see eye-to-eye on trips, and I felt myself isolated and upset 3/4 of the trip. By the last day, it was a disaster. My mom and I got into a fight that resulted in weeks of a poor relationship and little contact. At least Italy was wonderful.
Since May, pre-France, I was hired at a golf club very close to my house. I work in the golf shop and work around 40 hours a week. I LOVE my job. I have never looked forward to working so much. It, of all ironies, keeps me the most sane and the happiest. It's consistent and perfect. My co-workers are hilarious (and some, quite good looking), as well the members are fun and easy going. I feel at home there, which is nice to have in a job. I'm really, really lucky to have that.
The boy and I will be celebrating our 8 month anniversary tomorrow. My last post was our 2nd. It's been a rocky 8 months, but we've been consistent. Perhaps I haven't been the most honest (having snuck behind his back with friends on more than 5 occasions), but those are just small details that I know would upset him because he's too jealous and too protective of me, not because I'm going off with other people. My boyfriend likes me to be all his, and when I became closer with his friends than he is, he was upset I still wanted to remain friends and keep in contact. I think it was only logical to go see them on my own time, since he wasn't going to make group plans so I could see them on a regular basis.
On a more recent note, I saw Coldplay perform last night at the Rogers Centre in Toronto. It was an amazing concert; one which I will never forget. It was so moving and perfect. Chris Martin sounds amazing live, it's as if he's playing the CD straight, but he changes lyrics so you know he's not, as well as he changes the tempo. He gave the entire 50,000 people in attendance free CDs of some live songs, which basically sum up the night. I got a great, overpriced band shirt as well. They played most of my favourites; Fix You, Yellow, Viva La Vida, Violet Hill, The Scientist and Clocks. I feel like the only concerts that could out-do Coldplay would be The Beatles or Pink Floyd, most of whose members have deceased, unfortunately.
My friends, they come and go. I really have nothing to say about them. Nothing good; nothing bad. Lukewarm at best. I've been to 1 friend's cottage and we had a great time up there. We tubed, sailed, played Wii and board games, talked, swam and relaxed in her hot tub. All in all, a great trip up North.
I really do hope to update this more frequently. I'm sorry I suck so much, and that I am too lazy to just type even a few words. I am alive. :)
