a bunch of unrelated topics

Well freedom is just about a month away. What really sucks about summer is the anxiety of not getting a job. What's weird about leaving school is that I am going to not see most of these people ever again.

Last night I got treated like royalty. We went out for dinner at casa d'oro, and had such delicious seafood. I just love seafood so so much, and we had a ton, and delicious legit fresh made ceasar salad as well. Then we were at stellas and the person we went with got a both with bottle service. Can't complain.

Yesterday morning I was also at a workshop for youth for christ volunteering and we were talking about how we can connect with kids and some things really stuck out for me. First was that kids are so online and so connected, but they are no different from how I was as a kid. They all want the same things. I don't think I was ever a typical teenager though. I was pretty straight laced and non-rebellious. I'm watching the movie thirteen again right now and it just makes me sad. Kids these days (man there's an old person sentence) are just influenced by so many more different sources, and I get the feeling that acting bad is something cool. I just don't get it. Maybe I'm just an old lady that likes to follow rules. That might be it. Secondly I realized that the environment that kids grow up in has so so much to do with how they are going to act. But at the same time it may not be the case. There are some kids that grow up in amazing homes that just are awful to their parents. I don't know why people feel as though being nasty to others is a good way of life. It just really makes me sad. And worried. It makes me scared to ever have children.

I wish that I had a nicer room, like an old vintage-y bed and less cluttered. What I hate about my room is that I basically have to keep my life in here. When one has a home you have all sorts of different rooms to put your stuff in but in university I just have one room.

Man, I have such a craving for root beer right now.

here's something I haven't told you

It's a fact,

Tomorrow

So I haven't been here for a while...

In fact last saturday I finally got to watch SNL, couldn't stay awake for the whole thing, but it's been a while since I've actually been able to comment on the episode.

Zack was very good.

The opening monologue really threw me for a loop

fast forward to 4:15ish

I also watched SNL with miley cyrus and I must say not only was I pleasantly surprised by her performance, I actually judge it better than other episodes this year. The disney channel acting school was spot on with a rant I had way back in second year after watching high school musical.

Another weird thing today, realized that a lot of my peers are getting real jobs. What's up with that? Why are people growing up!!!

Tax Receipt

This is the receipt that one of my roommates got from my landlord...if you recall from my post about the baseball game, this was the guy yelling it up at the players from the front row. It says

In the Taxation year 2010...(my roommate) paid me ($9999( in rent. He was an inhabiter in my residence from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010. He always paid is rent on time. I wish he cleaned his room more often and did the dishes. I also wish he cut the lawn. I also wish he planted my flowers and cleaned the bathroom. Because he doesn't clean my bathroom I want the CRA to AUDIT HIM and kick him out of the country.

high school memories

As high school keeps on creeping further and further into my past I begin to remember less and less about it. One of the reasons that I keep this blog is so that I can not only remember little things, but more so remember what I was thinking and how I felt about things and what my general attitude was.

So one thing that I always am reminded of...

every time someone says 'it's friday' I am brought back to biology class in grade 12 when we almost always met at the last period of the day. Nearly every day we would exclaim 'it's friday' and just get so amped up despite the fact that it usually wasn't friday. Blawat didn't like this much but we didn't care. Then one day she let out an it's friday. It was just always so exciting to be going to or from class at the end of the day and just yelling it in the hallways. It's so sad that school isn't at all like it used to be.

think about it

Have you ever noticed that when there is writing on sweatpants, it's always on the left side. I have a pair from u of manitoba and brock...and all the large writing is on the left. The same story with my volleyball pants as well...however the number was on the back of the calf one year, and it was on the right side.

Sylvia also has A&F sweats and the same story there!

the living room

So for many places the living rooms to be the most sacred space in the house. It's often a place reserved for when guests come over, or when your parents have to have a talk with you because you've behaved against their intentions.

For how many of you is this the case?

I am at sylvias house currently, and her internet is just the worst and the best place to access the internet (her internet, not stolen) is in the living room. Her mother happens to be one of those that seems to maintain the sanctity of the living room. It's often vary obvious if you are in one of those kinds of houses. They are often colder than the rest of the house and there isn't anything laying about in there. I must say that I almost felt guilty in there, like I didn't belong. There also happened to be white couches, which is a huge warning sign that you are not ordinarily supposed to be hanging out in there.

At my house it is not so much the case that we don't hang out in the living room - after all it is called the living room. It is generally the place where my parents read or have naps. It is also the room that contains the entertainment system as well as the piano. Two important parts of my life. Do you think that this sanctity should be continued upon. Many of you probably are not living in your own permanent homes yet...but when you do, will there be a treasured room to preserve this old world tradition?

Zappos Case - this is for a group project, just ignore it. It was the easiest way to distribute the case.

Lord give me strength

This is March. Each of the Red Dates (aside from the first two) are papers or exams.

Premier Fitness is an awful company.

Because I have access to the internet I feel that if I have an issue with a company it is my duty to comment. Premier Fitness just loves to screw people over. I was actually just searching them because in a previous blog post I mentioned that I had gone in to cancel which was the biggest waste of time ever. I basically sat there for 10 minutes for no real reason. When leaving the customer service representative said that she would send in my 'application' to terminate my contract which is already bologna. I shouldn't have to apply to cancel. Apparently this process should have taken five days, and she said she would contact me afterwards. So today (almost two weeks later) I decided that I should call in and double check. I was truly worried about not being able to get out of this contract, and screwing up my credit. So I called in today...I hate how often I get put on hold and have to wait SOOO long! They are just an awful company.

To deal with disillusioned customers it is important to leave these dissatisfied customers with a glimmer of hope in hopes that they will return. Even though I am leaving the company now, it doesn't mean that I will never go there in the future had my contract cancellation gone smoother. Because I didn't receive the respect I was hoping that chance of repeat business has gone out the window. I'll keep this rant to a minimum, but trust me, my blood is a little hot.

wake up call

today was a crappy awakening from reading week. I had yet another midterm. I kind of realized yesterday how awfully stressful this next month is going to be. I have four group projects due by the end of the month and haven't even started ONE!!! In fact, haven't even gotten two of the assignments, and the other is so generic we pretty much have to plan what we do. I'm not looking forward to life in the future. I also have a huge break in between exams and the end of classes, that I know I'm doing to spend a lot of time wasting. Perhaps then I can look for jobs. This by the way is a subliminal message to all readers that again I am faced with the task of searching for a job. I will do a lot of things, as long as compensation is reasonable. I am also not super picky about location as long as there is access to public transit.

I noticed as well that before reading week I always sit facing the door in every single class. I wonder what that's about.

I was also finally reunited with becky and sylvia. I stayed at sylvias for night last night...funny little aside. We were trying to call her dad's cell which is some saudi arabia number, she missed some digits and we were connected to a sex line. We didn't realize it at first, and thought that we had just somehow tapped into someone's phone line. When of course we called again, the person was much more narrative, but the first time she was sure steamy, and dirty!

We also got a bunch of marks back, and it is almost scary how similar our marks have been. The widest gap so far this semester has been within 8%. On our services marketing the marks were 14.25, 14.39 and I think 14.69 or something in that range. That's really scary, and we weren't sitting beside each other during the exam (I mean we didn't copy off each other!)
