Burning the midnight oil...
2005-09-21 00:14:06
Here I am again, truckin' along in Studio working on a project that's due tomorrow morning, along with my presentation. But it's only midnight, therefore I have about 8 hours to complete my work. Hmmm... Then again, that doesn't sound like all that much. lol
Today was a day of mixed results. I was upset last night because I forgot to print off my assignment sheet from the internet to work on it, and since I don't have internet yet at my apartment, there was no way I could work on it once I got home for the night. So I had to finish it this morning. But not without first sleeping in late, and having to rush through an already pretty tight schedule. But a friend of mine gave me a gift for my birthday (belated) which was really nice!!! But then our teacher this morning was really groiuchy and went on and on about how people aren't taking things seriously or are respecting her enough. But then it was a beautiful day (windy and contrasty, which means bright and dark at the same time) outside. But then I had nothing to do for a while. But then I had a good lunch. But then my next class was confusing. But then that class ended early. But then I got tired and had to take a nap at home. But then I slept too much and had to rush over here to work on my project... Well, you get the idea.
Back to work anyways. Later.

What feels like an enternity...
2005-09-14 18:35:59
It's been a week and a half since I've moved into my apartment and started my second year of University, and I'm still without internet. lol -_-
It seems that everyone is getting cable and internet at this time, most likely all the students, so Rogers seems to be a little backed up. This means I'm helpless until the 21st. Just superb. Luckily I'm able to use the internet at school, though my security card has not been working properly, so I've become limited to how often I can use the computers.
School's been fine. Same old, same old actually. But living downtown makes me very tired. I've been going to sleep very early, and taking my time getting up. Something which I would have though my tough summer of physical labour would have already prepared me for. I suppose not. lol
Though working still has it's benefits... money! I've bought my fair share of anime already. One I'm proud to say is the Azumanga Daioh DVD set. This anime has rocketed itself to one of my all time favourite anime. The manga was amazing, and did it justice with the anime. One of the best things about it, is that I can show this anime to a broader audience than usual, simply because the plot is much less complicated than usual. There's no space travel, special energy powers, intergalactic police, demons based on legends, etc... Just a bunch of high school girls and the comedy of everyday life. ^_^

In a few hours I'll be moving out into an apartment I'm renting downtown for my 2nd year of University. However when I move out this time, it's like moving out for good. Talk about weird... lol
The past week has been all over the place.
Thursday I was better, and pulled myself together. After work I put my girlfriend's birthday gifts all together for her. I bought her flowers, found and laminated a four leaf clover for her, and gave her a stuffed animal.
Friday we left to go to Algonquin Park for camping. It was fun, but a little tiring of course. We hiked and canoed our way to the site. So in other words we canoed, carried the canoes, and repeated a few more times. Heavy. lol The weekend was nice, especially just to spend the entire time with my girlfriend. We came back on Sunday, and everyone enjoyed dinner together.
Monday was tiring. Thinking about work being almost done was stressful, and I was more worried about getting my girlfriend packed than myself.
Tuesday was a little better, but not by much. I played Poker both nights, and lost each time.
Wednesday was a good day. First off, it was my birthday. That's right, my 19th birthday. I feel so incredibly old now. lol Second, it was my last day of work, which was fun. Everyone was supportive of going back to school. My girlfriend and friends picked my up from work, and after watchign a bit of Anastasia, we had sushi for dinner. Got back to my place for cake, and that was the end of that. Around midnight my girlfriend called me out to go shopping (because she missed me), which was shocking, but still fun.
Thursday was nice, but irritating. It was great to spend the entire day with my girlfriend, and finish packing her up, but it was just one of those days where you feel like you're always racing, but not getting anywhere. My head was spinning, and I didn't feel right doing anything. Driving felt weird. Walking felt weird. Just being with my girlfriend was odd. By the end of the day, I was gathered myself up again, and she and I spent some quiet time at the park on the swings. That would be our last real quality time together for the summer.
Friday I spent packing. My girlfriend dropped by in the morning to say goodbye before leaving. After, I packed, watched tv, packed, went on the internet, packed, went to the mall, packed, watched more tv, and packed. And well, here I am. Back to packing since I wasted too much time watching television. lol Almost time to leave, just about 4-5 hours left. ~_^

Picking up the pieces...
2005-08-25 00:03:06
I'm ashamed to say, but I think I basically fell apart today. Just everything went wrong physically, and mentally I wanted to give up. I'm definitely not used to that feeling. 0_0
Since yesterday my face has been burning up, sort of like when I get all flushed. It's embarrassing, especially when I have nothing to be embarrassed about. Talk about ironic. Sort of like drinking to forget about drinking. lol
Today my right eye started hurting. It's not uncommon for me to get some saw dust or something in it while working. But after going to my girlfriend's house, I thought I could see a layed of puss or something on it. It was enough to even get me worried about my health! lol Not to mention it kept tearing up, and I found it difficult to see out of it.
My nose got all stuffed up and runny. That's not too weird considering my alergies act up everytime I go to my girlfriend's house, but today was different. I didn't need my puffer, but my nose was dripping uncontrolably.
I started getting a haedache. For me to get a headache is a big deal.
My throat felt dry and irritated. It bothered me to swallow my own saliva. Something that started the day before.
All of these things are nothing. Once in awhile things happen, but I get over it in no time. The problem was everything happening at the same time. Not to mention my self-esteem was dropping pretty darn fast. I felt bad since it was the day before my girlfriend's birthday, and I didn't really want her to see me like this. But there was nothing I could do. lol
I think it may be from stress. Hard to believe considering I hardly ever stress about things, but this past week has been worrying me. One, I needed to straighten out my courses for school. I had a mistake in my schedule, and had to fix it. Second, it's my girlfriend's birthday, and I don't have a gift yet to give her. Third, I'm leaving on a camping/canoeing trip days before my last dayys of work, days before I move into my apartment downtown, and days before school starts. Too much to think about. Hopefully I'm coping with things pretty decently right now. lol

Tumbling down the ranks...

I suppose that's what happens when you go all summer without writing any new AMV opinions... You fall from 29 to 40. I'd like to stay on the top 50 Most Opinionated if I could, so when school starts up again, I suppose I'll have to get writing again.
As for the last week... The 14th was good. My girlfriend and I celebrated our 1 year Anniversary of being together. Quite an accomplishment for our unique mix of personnalities and interests. lol Her birthday is coming up though, and I'm left still recovering after trying to go all our for our Anniversary. I spent a good amount of money, so I think I'll stay on the creative side for her birthday instead. lol
This is the first weekend that I'm fully enjoying for myself, by myself. My girlfriend's been busy with work, and getting ready for University, and I've been at home just getting things done. I missed .hack//SIGN again though. That really bugged me. Am I ever going to finish watching that show?! And I didn't have enough time to watch the end of Sin City because I watched Kinsey with my girlfriend. I was upset about it, but that was my fault because I didn't plan my time right. I rent Far & Away this weekend (another Nicole Kidman movie, I'm starting to have seen a good collection of them) and Les Misérables (I wanted to show my girlfriend this because she's going to watch the musical again come September).
My little notebook is almost filled. That's pretty sad. So much information and things to do. All of which I could have fogotten about if I hadn't started writing everything down. There's only nine pages right now (I used to tear out pages), but 5 are filled, with basically one point of interest per line. 15 lines per page, 5 pages double sided... That's about 150 things to remember or to do. Luckily whenever I get something done, I cross it out, so there's probably 20 things already knocked off the list. ^_^
