it's about that time to update...been awhile...
wow, i didn't think i'd b writing another post in here for at least another month when my life actually got interesting and i've been pondering what to write for this post for a LONG time...come to think of it, i still am not too sure what i'm writing about so i'm just gonna blabber the way i always do and see what turns up!
soooooooo..........
i've been home for awhile now, desperately searching for a spring job ever since Deerhurst screwed me over and made me start my job lifeguarding on June 19th. so i've been running around out there for the past 3 weeks, trying to find ANYTHING that i could do....today i finally found something! YAY! i went and talked to the Eclipse Restaurant manager and asked him about a position as a hostess there and he said that he'd definitely be needing another hostess 'cause he only had one at the moment and when it got busier he was really screwed (well, he didn't put it QUITE that way!) so he's going to call me and tell me when i can start, but he said something about this Sunday so i'm excited!! YAY JOB! i also have another random hours job working for Sports & Rec at Deerhurst helping to organize, map out and plan games where corporate groups come in and play these games and i help lead them along with a bunch of my other Sports & Rec buddies...and i get PAID for this! sweet! so those are my 2 random but helpful jobs that i'm doing until the 19th of June when i can start lifeguarding and i'm going to stay on as a hostess throughout the summer, too, whenever i have time off from lifeguarding and need more hours. and HOLY CRAP are there ever SO many gorgeous guys there! everyone time i turn around there's one appearing out of somewhere! good ol' eye candy!
so, that's the job sit....
i ALSO just got my marks back and believe it or not, they weren't that shabby (well, for me anyways)... i didn't get into Honours because of the whole 2 terms of theory under 60%...I PASSED THEORY!!! i actually CAN'T believe it and think they've made a mistake cause i was going in w/ a really low mark...i think it was around a 46% (YEESH) and i didn't do well on the exam at all....i think i have Bryn to thank though, cause he taught me SO much in that last week before the exam...like i honestly had NO clue what was going on in that class til he helped me out! YAY friends...so i passed G.I.M. which was also another real worry for me...THANK GOD! i would NOT want to have to re-do that course again! and i ended up getting a right on 70% average, which also surprised me with the theory and G.I.M marks being so bad. it's really too bad i didn't get into Honours though...oh well, at least i'm doing the exact same stuff as Honours Music History students are doing and i'll hopefully get into it in 3rd year. no more re-doing theory, although i think it would help me to re-inforce and understand the concepts better. i'm still a little fuzzy.
i'm also going to T.O. on Saturday w/ Jenna Douglas to meet up with Peter and to get my new clarinet at Gary Armstrong's! gawd, i've played on the shittiest clarinet i've ever laid eyes on for SO long! all year and it's screwed me up numerous times...including during my jury...bloody pile of crap...i'm surprised it didn't just DIE on me completely so i guess i can give it that, it's been good to me. but YES getting an R 13 Buffet!! it'll feel so great and everything'll be tight instead of loose and sloppy like my old one! and i'll get some time to catch up with my Jenna! and then right after that we're picking up my bro, who's coming home to visit from Montreal for a week and i haven't seen him since Reading Week so that'll be AMAZING and some of my French family is coming to stay with us for the whole May 2-4 weekend...i'll b playing in my senior stage band from high school (Andy, you'll be proud! on the good ol' sax! we're playing 'The Chicken'!! sweet!) for our high school's 100th anniversary parade and then i'm going to go listen to Ryan Corrigan aka "Hawksley Workman," as everyone now calls him, on Friday aft!
so good times all round finally!! life has been shit lately and i never thought i'd get out of this fucking slump i've been in forfuckingever....it's been brutal, been relying on friends and liquor to pull me through...the friends have been SUPERB, thanks guys! well, so has the bacardi, but not so good, ya know?
BLOODY HELL this has gotten long...and Talie's done updating!
i'm out...
