(no subject)
Okay, so it had been awhile. Life is good. Here is why (I love lists):
- I wrote my last exam on 4:20.
- I've finished my first year of university.
- I have three more shifts left at La Collina.
- I leave for Europe in 2 weeks.
What has been going on for the last month you say? I had my birthday, it was slightly anti-climatic as people were quite tired and not in the biggest of dancing moods, but we all made the best of it. The couple of items I asked for for my birthday were not present. My mom I think has completely gone off the deep end and thinks I'm aging backwards. She bought me sequence scrunchies in light pink and chick yellow. I honestly haven't worn a scrunchie since I was seven... and in jazz dance. Amusing though, how can I be mad at her when she's just so cute? I've been to the bar twice since then when I was in Vancouver "studying." I still haven't been asked for I.D. though which is quite frustrating. On my birthday, I was all nervous and trembling while holding out my I.D. but, the big fat man said I could just go in. It might have been the prescence of my mini-skirt (which is what I like to think), but really it was the pissed drunk guy distracting the bouncers from my 15 year old looking face. I went to a Canucks game when in Vancouver... this was before they sucked ass and disappointed thousands of fans. It was an awesome game though, and I vowed to never watch another one on T.V... that didn't last long. Well, it didn't have to really since they sucked it up in their last two games and were out of the playoffs...dickholes.
After that weekend of studying and washing it away with hockey and booze, I had two exams to write on the Monday. I crammed like no other. After two hours of writing German, to have to go home and study for another three hours before world history, just seemed impossible. My head actually felt full. I studied for an hour or so. The exam felt like it went well even though during a couple of my essays I'd slip back into German with an "und" or "mit." Fortunately, my history teacher is German, maybe he won't even notice or maybe I'll get bonus marks!!
So, after those two exams I was done four out of five. Before I had left for Vancouver, I had full-time work lined up for me at the bakery which was going to bring in some wicked cash for the trip. When I called in to work on Tuesday to confirm what time I was working Wednesday, I found out I was now working Wednesday and Saturday... only. This is where my pure hatred for La Collina was born. There had been a staff meeting to announce the shutting down of dinners and the upheavel of the schedule. My boss, LYNN, had promised me that since I have so much seniority I wouldn't have to worry about my full-timeness being compromised, she'd make sure I got what I deserved. Basically that was her brush off tactic and it flipping worked. So, I got severly shafted and even though I offered to fill in for this guy who quit and take all of his 6am opening shifts, they gave it to another girl...who had been there for two weeks. They really must hate me or something. Anyways, for the last little while I've been scrounging up whatever extra shifts I can pick up, giving the new manager lots of attitude and soooo looking forward to getting out of there. It had been such a good job, but they've really fucked it up this time. If anyone wants the code to the vault... I'm the girl to ask... muhaha.
Graeme is back from Burnaby thankfully and I've been trying to spend as much time with him before I go as possible. So, if you for some reason can't get a hold of me or think I've already left for Europe, I'm probably with him. I'm basically ready to go to Europe right now. I have my Europass, travellers checks, insurance, flights, Visa, student and hostel cards. Honestly, so prepared for this. At least that's what I'm telling myself now. Give me two weeks away from home and I'll be floundering... floun-der-ing!
I've set up a travel journal and if anyone wants to get the link for it, just comment and I'll hook yah up pronto. I don't know if I'll have time to post on here too, so if you care for me that much you'll want to check out this other one. Anyways, who knows when I'll be posting next. I'll try and squeeze another out of my panic before I leave. Until then, (as Justine has been saying lately) PEACE.
