12:27 am	School Sucks I am soooo frustrated with my school right now! Wilfrid Laurier University's part time staff has now been on strike for 2 and half weeks now. Of course it dosen't help that 3 of my laurier classes are taught by part time staff. The university refuses to tell us anything about what is going on, apparently if they're still on strike by April 7th they will "present us with our options". Excuse me but aren't we paying redicules amounts of money to take these courses? You would think that our oppinions might have some kind of weight in the decision of what happens with OUR courses. On top of this Nipissing is changing around how our whole year looks next year. It will mean that I don't get as many references and since I'm working in Hamilton next year for the first time references are a big issue. Grrrr well at least by Tuesday I'll know what's going on.

8:13 pm	Nothingness So it's another day of procrastination and obvioulsy I've run out of things to do because I'm posting on livejournal lol. The next two weeks at school are absolutely brutal!! I have 5 assignments due next week and then 3 midterms and an assignment the following week *sob*. The good thing about it is that once I reach reading week I'm FREE!! This year Kelly, Dan and I are going to his cottage in Wasaga and showing off our snowboarding skills. Well Dan is showing off his skills and Kelly and I will be falling on our butts a thousand times on the baby hill lmao. I'm totally freaked out about money right now because it seems like Toyota might not be hiring this year!! Since they'll be training all of the Woodstock people they won't need us students :(. I guess I've just gotten used to the money and I had a budget worked out that now is going to be thrown out the window. I also have no idea where I'm going to work, I guess the downfall of living in the woods is being close to NOTHING. I'm sort of hoping I'll get a job at Costco either in Ancaster or Kitchener but it's a long commute. Boo money! I recently saw a house that friends of ours bought. It was sooo neat to see what people who are actually in the working world can afford. We've been looking at getting a house in or around Ancaster. Unfortunately it's not exactly a cheap area so I have a feeling we'll have to be working at least a couple of years before we can afford it. Well I guess that's all my updates for now :) Emily (1 Comment |Comment on this)

1:40 pm	Hey it's summer again *dances*! Back at Toyota and back to having a little cash in my pocket again which is never a bad thing. Right now I'm happy because it's the Canada Day long weekend and tonight the whole group of us is getting together for our second official Wine Night Celebration!!! I think we now have 7 bottles of wine, a bottle of Baileys, Coolers and 8 shots to finish between 5 of us :P. It's a PARTY!!! Current Mood: excited (Comment on this)

11:18 pm	*Yawn* I am sooooo tired right now! I really feel like I have way too much to do! 7 courses and a practicum are just too much, everyone in my program is feeling it right now. I'm also playing on the volleyball and soccer intramural leagues which is fun but it takes a toll. November is going to be a crazy month, I guess not much crazier than October but still I just want it to be over and get into Christmas!!! Yay Steph, Kelly, Dan and I are all booked for New York!! It's going to be fantastic, I haven't been on a trip out of Canada for a long time so I'm really looking forward to it. I think I'm too tired to even rant about being too tired lol so I guess I'll end it there :P. Emily Current Mood: tired (1 Comment |Comment on this)

11:23 am	SUMMER Well I'm finally posting and the summer is almost over! I've been working at Toyota all summer and it Sucks with a capital S! Working night shift and then switching to day shift really messes up your body's inner clock and it seems like I never get enough sleep. I can't decide which shift I like least, on days I have to get up at 5:30am so I spend the week in a sort of zombie state and on nights I'm a hermit because everyone else is working when I'm actually awake. My boss is a sexist jerk, he totally picks on all the girls. He actually said to this one woman when she complained, "am I going to make you cry?" I would have been like YES so STOP! Yesterday my wrist was hurting so bad that I had to go to medical which actually was nice because I got off the line for like 20min. OK I'm complaining WAY too much lol but I'm in that kind of mood, really it isn't that bad, the pay is amazing, I'll be able to pay off two years of school with one summer of work. I'm REALLY looking forward going to school and not having to work part time at the same time. I finish Toyota on September 1st and I don't start school until the 11th so there's a nice break in there. My one week off this summer I went to Wasaga, the same week that lady got struck by lightening and died!! That scared me from thunder storms for the rest of my life lol. Otherwise it was an awesome vacation. I can't wait to go back to school shopping and get all the best gear, no more crappy sale stuff for me lol. It sounds like my course load is going to be pretty tough but I'm looking forward to it anyways. Next weekend I'm going to my first wedding. I know that sounds sad but I'm one of the oldest cousins in my family so there haven't been any marriages until this one. I was the flower girl in my mom and stepdad and my dad and stepmom's weddings but I was too young to remember so I'm actually kind of looking forward to this one. I still have to find something to wear though. Oh I want to mention that I went clubbing in Toronto last weekend with the girls and it was a blast! We totally got into all of the clubs free because we were so sexy lol. We actually ended up dancing on the stage at one club *dies*. Kel if you read this tell me how the next moring went for you guys. TTFN. Emily Current Mood: tired (Comment on this)

3:02 pm	Exams!!!!! Ick I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate exams!!!!!! I've had five so far and one more to go. This upcoming one is the worst by far. It was a year long course so it's double the amount of information from all the other courses plus it's psychology so it's insanely diffiult too *cries*. I feel like my butt hasn't left that stupid coutch in a week and it looks like it's going to be planted there for another week. This is my first study break all day and it's only because my mom insisted on cleaning behind the coutch so I had to move lol. Oh well for better or worse I am done my first year of university this coming Wed. and boy am I looking forward to it. I have to work tomorrow, a split shift which I actually think I like less than studying lol. At least soon it will be over for good. Did I mention yet that I got in to Toyota?! Super exciting for the money and just the change in work will be great. I start on May 1st which really is not that far away. It's going to be a lot of hours but it will be worth it. I'm going to be working on engines *dies* in the powertrain area. Hope everyone does well in exams!!! Emily Current Mood: drained (1 Comment |Comment on this)

3:19 pm	Reading Week!! Hey people who actually still look at their lj's XD. I thought I'd leave a little update because I should be doing a load of work and this seems like the perfect way to procrastinate. Well it's my first reading week ever and it seems pretty much like March break but with a lot of work looming over my head lol. The problem is I'm finding the readings pointless in some classes because we either go over the chapters point to point or we don't talk about anything in the chapters at all. If I don't do the readings though I feel stressed lol, stupid messed up brain once again. At least I've had a chance to see my friends again. Kelly left for Ireland but I got to see her once before she left and yesterday Steph and I spent about 9 hours in the mall lol. Tomorrow Dan's having a Poker party and Steph's going to come down so she'll finally get to see him again and see his hous etc. plus she'll be the only other person there who pretty much has no idea how to play :P. Dan and I are still doing awesome, it will be 5 months this coming Tuesday! That's actually starting to sound somewhat substancial. It's hard sometimes to be in class together because there's almost no time to just hang out together and studying can be difficult lol. Valentines was awesome baisically because it was my first real one! We went to Valentino's again and it was yummy. Dan got me chocolate, a singing hampster, a frame with the two of us and Diesel Perfume. I got him one of those Hallmark Gorillas and candy :). My mom's going off the deepend a bit over me not being home much. The problem is that with work, university, friends and a boyfriend there isn't much time to just be home. In fact there's pretty much no time to just be home except to do homework which hardly counts. I think it's just because I'm her first child to grow up and she dosen't realise that it's only natural to start having my own life. I still go to bowling every Wed. morning with her and my gran and I do the best I can to be home but it just can't be as much as it was before. I'm sure it will start to settle soon though. Well that's my update for a few more months :) ttfn. Emily Current Mood: lazy (1 Comment |Comment on this)

11:53 pm	Stupid Live Journal I'm mad, I posted an update like a week ago and I just checked in today to find out that it didn't turn up :(. Alas I'll just have to updat again. So let's see, probably the newest exciting thing in my life is my boyfriend Dan, it's really not new anymore since we've practically been going out for three months now :). We actually just had our two month anniversary on Monday, this is because we've been counting since the first day we were "officially" dating. It was a blast, we went out for dinner for panzerottis which were fantastic and then I totally kicked his but at bowling once again :P. He finally got to meet my friends Steph and Kelly, I can't believe it took so long stupid school and work! This has been really good for me, Dan couldn't have been any better for a first boyfriend, he's new at all of this too so we're learning together. In other news my first semester of university is finally coming to an end. It actually went by insanely quickly, I honestly have not stopped since school began! I won't know what to do with myself once I get free time off at Christmas. I'll still be super busy though because I have a bunch of family Christmas parities to go to, that's what happens when you have a family as big as mine and now I'm going to both of Dan's family Christmas parties as well! Yay for Italian parties, endless food, alcohol and dancing, not to mention door prizes lol. Next weekend I'm going to a Bryan Adams concert!! I'm uber excited, the last time I went to see him was years ago at Ontario Place. We were on the grass outside and it started to rain lol. Of course it's literally right in the middle of my exams but there was no chance I was going to miss it. Work's still going well, I'm finally moving up in the ranks since a bunch of new servers have been hired. I get the better sections now and I no longer have to do butters. Filling up dozens of those little cups to put with the breads. I love love love love tips! I can totally live off of them so I never have to use my paychecks anymore which really helps with saving. Unfortunately with Christmas gifts many a paycheck has dissapeared. Oh that's exciting too, I'm finally finished my Christmas shopping!! That means that once exams are over I can just relax! As far as money goes I'm seriously considering working at Toyota this summer. They accepted me last summer but turned me down only because I didn't get the extra two months off that uni students do. This means that this summer, I'm hoping, I will be automatically accepted. My only issue is the long long hours and boring as hell work. I don't know if I would be able to stick it out. My mom makes a good point though by saying that even if I quit after a month or so I'll still have made some good money. Well that's my update for now, hopefully this one will actually post, leave your comments people, I'd like to know if anyone's actually reading this thing :P.

11:30 pm	O-Week!!!! So I've been at O-week since Monday and it's been awesome!! There have been some extremely boring parts and others where I'm kinda stuck with people that seem...well insane, but overall it's been a great experience. Tonight we saw a band called Flatline who were amazing!! Tomorrow a bunch of us are going to try and get into their concert at a club in downtown Brantford. Hopefully we can cuz it's an over 19 bar. Also my o-week group got their picture on the front page of the Brantford newspaper!! I'm hidden unfortunately :(. Can't wait for tomorrow!! Emily (Comment on this)

2:10 pm	Stupid East Side!! Bleh East Side Mario's is seriously starting to piss me off! When I started I asked the manager if it would be alright for me to work two jobs until the end of the Summer, he not only said it was ok, he thought it was a great idea because they wouldn't be able to give me too many shifts until September. So I gave my Garage schedule, which never changes, to him and another manager. Now it has been three weeks in a row that they have scheduled me on the wrong days and I've had to go in and fix it. Now they're acting like it's my fault! Maybe if they didn't make the schedules on Sundays for that upcoming week it would be a lot easier to move things around! So now I have to call in tonight and I have no idea what they're going to do! Ah well other then that I like the job, it's high stress and I have managed to spill one drink lol, but it's still better than Garage any day. I still can't get that Keith guy off my back, but that's partly my fault because I'm really bad at just telling him no I don't want to go out with you. Thanks for listening to my rant :).

2:10 pm	Time For an Update Well I think that it's been long enough to leave another entry lol. Well I started a new job at East Side Mario's which is awesome because apparently the tips are really good and hey I'm working with food so how could it be bad? The only icky thing is the weird cook guy who seems to have developed a major crush on me and has gotten the entire serving staff to talk to me for him. How do I explain to this guy my messed up brain without having the rest of the staff think I'm insane lol. Montreal was fantastic, loads of getting lost, drinking and dancing! We are definately doing that again next year! Oh by the way, I learned that if you book the trip like two days before you leave you can get week long deals at all sorts of islands, air fair included for around 5-$600! The resorts are all inclusive too so you don't even have to pay for food! I got my sister an account at TD today and it took almost an hour! Afterwards we went tromping around the mall trying to find a pair of ugly black shoes that I could wear at East Side. I ended up getting some fairly decent looking ones that are slip resistant for $50! A lot more than I wanted to spend but I figure I'll be wearing them a lot. My "parents" are gone for another week starting this Saturday so I'll mostly be at my grandparents place, if anyone needs to call me. Well that's about it for now, ttfn.

2:18 pm	Life Changes Wow I can't believe that I'm done highschool!! I just finished my math exam today and tomorrow I have English and it's over for good. The next time I'll be in G.C.I. will be for commencement and I'm doubting that all that many people are going to be around to show up for it. If you're reading this then you had better show up XD! It was so weird the way that highschool ended because unlike elementary school where the last day was focused on saying goodbye, yesterday was like any other day, it came as a surprise when in the car after I was like, hey that was the last day lol. I can't wait until our first reunion now, just to see what happens to everyone! I'm looking forward to going to uni, it's a big change but it's at a point in my life where I think that I'm ready for one. Yay for Quebec this Summer, and to everyone out there we have got to come up with some great ideas for all of August so that I don't rot into a pile of boredome lol. Ed that idea of the hotel room sounds like fun, I won't be able to get the week off but I could drop in over night and such, make sure that we get one with a pool XD. Just on a quick note, I got my hair cut short again today! I have it straight right now which is awesome because for my hair it seems physically impossible for it not to curl but Vanity people can work miracles so I'm enjoying it while I can! Can't wait to see it short and curly again!! Well I'd better stop procrastinating and at least look at my English notes for tomorrows exam. Emily (Comment on this)

9:45 pm	Wow it's been awhile Wow I almost forgot that I even had a livejournal lol. When I wrote that last entry it was before school had even started and I was excited and thinking that this year would be fantastic and a load of fun. It was still both of those things but definately none of what I originally expected XD. Right now I'm in a pretty good place, having my best friend start dating was a bit of an adjustment but it's turned out really well because Mike is such an easy person to get along with. Yesterday I went up to Brantford to put out my resumes out because next year I'll be going to school there and some crazy woman at a restaurant offered me a job for the very next day!! Her exact words were: Her: Can you run fast? Me: ummm yes... Her: Very vast? Me: yes Her: With running shoes, you run fast? Me: YES!! Her: Ok, you start tomorrow! Me: Ummm...well I do have another job that I still have to quit... Her: Ok, I call you!! This all with an extremely heavy accent! So that was a bit of excitement. Today I went to work all day and then came home and drank lots of yummy wine with my parents and their friends who came over so I'm on a very happy buzz right now :). This means that tomorrow I will be doing all of the homework that I'm pushing aside today lol, but thanks to the buzz I really don't care XD. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

9:28 am	My First Entry Well this is my first engry obviously and I don't think anyone is actually going to read this so it is kind of silly but whatever XD. I'm not sure if I like the idea of posting a journal for the whole world to see but alot of people are really enjoying it so I thought I'd give it a try. I'm actually really excited about school starting. So many easy subjects and spares and of corse driving!! Math is looming over me, I really don't know if I can pull it off this year. I'm just getting over jetlag, at least it's making me go to sleep earlier and get up earlier too, that's what I need to get back in the school routine. None of my close friends have been on msn since I've been home so I don't know what's going on with them :(. Well that's not alot I know but whatever it's my journal right? Goodbye to all you random people. Talk to ya soon XD!! (Comment on this)
