Shit-tastic Day
1. left home late
2. fell on ice in parking lot next door.
3. because of fall on ice, elbow went though the canvas I was carrying
4. thought I was walking on snow, but underneath was mud. one foot full of shitty mud.
5. late for class
6. started project emulating Chuck Close. The whole class was frustrated with this.
7. argument with Andrew at lunch time/which seemed worse b.c of the bad day I was having
8. in class trying to keep it together.
We arguged about money. again. I need to get a job, but I'm waiting until I come back from my new york trip. Andrew is in a fit b/c he wants money now. He feels like he is old enough to not borrow from family. Thing is, my mom told me that she would help me like this wether I had gone to school at 18 or now. She is happy that I am trying to get a better education.
I knew it would be hard, but I guess I didn;t give Andrew much time to think about it. But still, if its somethign that I want to do why should he have a say? Well, I guess I dont really mean that. I want him to have a say...but I dont think he should be the one to make my choices. It was a bit unfair to throw it on him suddenly, but I always feel like I dont have much more time to go and get this education. If I wait until I;m 35 then how long will I be working for? well, I dont know the answer to that. No one does. But. yeah.
I should do well on my tax return, and if all goes accodingly I will start working mid march? around there. Until then we have to just hold on.
I was thinking about applying for a retail job, like.. at the bay, which is near by. Seems like its not super busy, I have 6 years retail experience too. Or maybe a near by clothing shop? I would apply at the cafe near by, but they are always looking for bilingual people. I used to speak good french, but after working (In Dieppe of all places) retail at sears I lost it, because I never really had to use it.
Most people I had to speak french with were from up north, and they were super understanding if I had problems with some words. The ones who gave me a hard time are locals, but they dont really speak proper french to begin with.
So, it sucks that I lost it. Its not that I am sying that french peopel do not deserve french service or anyting though. Its just that in my personal experience, I never used it all that much when I worked in Dieppe for 6 years.
Without it it makes finding a job difficult. :S But I haev the retail experience, so maybe it wont be so bad. I hope.
Oh, here is a link to the art we have to emulate. Its a self portraid of Chuck Close himself.

New york is coming up really fast. I leave on friday, and I will arrive on saturday! :D I'm starting to feel that excitement, but I am also starting to feel nervous. Will I forget to pack something? am I going to call for travel insurance tomorrow? (debating this, yes I know) Will I get to sit with my friends? will my bottle water and granola bars be ok?
Oh, I have to find out if they have plugs on the bus. if they do I can bring my portable dvd player. It can be charged beforehand, but its old and the charge doesn;t last long, so I would have to keep it plugged in. I should remember to ask them about it.
Ok. I;m tired of typing. lol.
