So another year has come and gone and like all the addictive shows on Muchmusic that go through the best and worst of celebrity crap of 2006, I have decided I will do my story.
Jennifer's best of 2006:
-Canada Blooms. The big-ass flower show in T.O that Sheridan was apart of. I felt like such an expertise on plants while I was done there. Got free Crocs, plants, took great photographs that I plan on making a book of, and had some great times with some awesome people.
-Finishing college in April was awesome but sad at the sametime. I met some really awesome people there that I will probably be friends with till the end of my days. Who knew that my second-choice school would end up becoming one of my favourite places of all time? Pub, goofing off in class (especially making fun of teachers) msn chats on the lappytops, endless tim horton lines, taco bell lunches, ahh the list could go on!
-Working with Lydia and Lisa this summer at Sheridan. I founded two new sisters, one that can make me pee my pants and the other who is just identical to my personality. We had so much fun together of doing everything right down to crushing on a 18 year old boy..haha.
-Going away party at Ann's house. She's so awesome and my second mom. It totally gave me the chance to see Phil outside of work and see what he's all about. All good of course.
-Gaining a huge liking on Phil and presently still ;)
-The World Cup! It was so great and so culturally exciting! I had never been so proud of what my hertiage was till then!
-Calgary becoming my new home. What more is there to say to that one?
-The YMCA. Although there are people who are just bossy and can't help themselves, I never felt more belonged. The kids feel like their my own, my coworkers have become great friends of mine (even a 41 year old!), and the centre itself is something I like being in.
-Getting my full licence and done with tests! Who knew that five years of driving would be my present of not having to do a final roadtest in a new province?! HAHA totally passed the G stage.
-Justin Timberlake = my new love. Who knew the boy who I use to call Pubic-Head would rule some of my dreams?
-Christmas. The first one in seven years. It was so nice and memorable. I've never had such a big need to document it all on film before.
-New Year's PARTY! YEAH! Partying with 40-somethings could end up being a good thing after all :)
Jennifer's Worst of 2006:
-Losing three friends because of discrimination. People who you thought were your bestest, end up finding out that they are not.
-Several emotional and nervous breakdowns because of school. To this day, I still don't know how I made it through. There were some pretty bad times and if it wasn't for my mom, I don't think I would have graduated in June.
-Dad away for three months. Don't get me wrong - there were some great times of getting a break from him, but it had its equal amounts of bad as well. Like him missing me graduate.
-Packing, and to think I'm more than likely to do it again in about six months.
-Athabasca. Realizing I am not going to get it done in the timeline I wanted is deeply dissappointing. I have never been so time consumed in my life and even now I'm questiong if I'm doing the right thing or just switch programs to something else.
-My cat slowly dying. I hate seeing her go through bad days but the idea of her leaving, I can't even imagine it. I see everyday as another blessed day of having her.
-Being personally attacked by a parent. I guess as a new graduate, I have to learn how to roll with the punches but I never felt so awful about myself as I did then.
-Getting drunk on Christmas Eve. Like who the fuck gets drunk at a special time for a family who hasn't been together in ages and gets drunk?! Can we say retarded?
-Moving away my friends back home. I miss them so badly it hurts but I know there's nothing else back there for me. Needless to say, I made a decision that I knew would be hard but worthwhile in the end.
For 2007, I've got the usual plans - finish as many courses as possible, get my car, lose weight again which offically started today, and have some more adventures. Throwing a boyfriend in the picture too is alright as well.
Oh lord, I'm going to be 22 this year. Shit.
