today was a pretty good day. i skipped rudiments though because i wasn't feeling to well. then i practiced viomolin, and then went to thoery. i guess i didn't understand my assignment, becuase i did it wrong. but i corrected it during class and handed it in anyways. my teacher made a weird face. so i guess it's another fail. piece of shit theory.

anyways, after theory, i had my leson. it didn't go as bad as last time, since i actually practised a bit! my thirds and chromatic were kinda bad though. ah well. no lesson next week though, becuz the String Quartet is going to Europe for three weeks. AHH!! and the week after next week, we're all getting lessons from this woman named Julie, whom we heard at Music at Noon on tuesday. yay! and while i'm on the topic of the string quartet, i found a pretty good picture of my studio teacher. there are two violin teachers at Laurier, but we get separate private teachers, and he's mine. this is Jeremy.


he looks dangerous in this picture! AHH!! hehehe okay anyways, gotta do some homework before i sleep. yay commencement tomorrow!!

at first, i didn't want my parents to come to my next Symphony concert because i had plans. ya know? but now, i REALLY don't want them to come. not because of plans anymore, just for their own sake. this concert is gonna be so boring compared to the last one! i'm not even excited playing it. in one song, the note "don't fall asleep!" is written in the music. not by me nor my stand partner. someone who played the piece before and who wrote it. i seriously almost fell asleep. it was so boring. and the cello concerto, okay, he plays really well, but everyone else part is boring! well at least i think so. argh. the only good song we're playing is Dvorak. i love the melody (ies), but it still isn't as good as the Beethoven one. man, i'm so not looking forward to performing his. grrr... maybe i should learn it first, but still.

anyways, ok i've decided, our conductor, Paul, reminds me of a cross between Mr. Buck, and Mr. Johnston. it's weird, but it's true. like, his attitude and stuff is like Mr. Johnston, but when he plays cello, he's like Mr. Buck. weird, huh?
anywyas, nuthin else to post about so bub bye!

i'm a happy girlie!! thanks all to Masterclass! after history i went to the practise rooms for an hour to practise my song. it went okay... ya know. meh meh.. then i went to class. i though i'd be nervous, but surprisingling, i wasn't at all! in fact, i was kinda looking forward to it. i went in, open my case and waited for Beth Ann to arrive. she did, and since she was only playing for me, i went first. it was okay, i didn't mind it at all. i played through it, with minor mistakes, and as usual i got some pointers. it was like a mini lesson, but with everyone else sitting there. overall i though i did pretty well, ya know! hehehe!! anyways, Michael (my stand partner) played after i did, and his session was pretty short though. mine was half an hour! Amy played after me, and she was pretty good. she did this Etude from Kreutzer. Jerzy calls it the "Bible". hahah its pretty true though.
anyways, Michael, my stand partner, is probably reading my blog now, so HI MICHAEL! BLAH BLAH BLAH!! GOOD JOB AT MASTERCLASS TODAY!!

lol okay yeah, im kinda hyper right onw. just a tad. Matty would be shaking his head at me right now. boo. oh well!!

anyways, ok i have nothing else so post, so i'm gonna...finish eating, then do some homework. bub bye!
la la la... psych test was hard mian! but it was muliple choice, so i did some guessing. well...but blindly guessing, but u know. anyways, i got back and made myself some dumplings. it was yummay! then i checked email, and Frances sent me tihs horrible email about people in Japan killing babies nad eating them. it was NARSTY!!! oh mian.... anyways, now i have a picture of a decapitated baby in my head.

ok anyways, im tired of typing. i really have to practise. i'm playing in Masterclass today!! AHHHH!!! ok bub bye.

seeing as i didn't post all weekend and my internet actually works in the morning, i should take this oppoortunity to post something. maybe about my weekend?
satuday was a sucky day. the only good thing was that i didn't have to get up early or anything, so i slept til noon. it was nice. i moped around til about 2 and then started my thoery homework. i thought it was going to be simple: just make up a melody, elaborate it, then elaborate it even more. well, after 10 minutes into working, i discovered that it was actually pretty complicated. after working for about an hour or so, i gave up. i moped around some more, i don't exactly remember what i did, but anyways, yeah. oh i was talking to mike on msn, and i was asking him whether or not i should get the dress i really wanted at Le Chateau. he said i should. then i made lunch, and this was at like 5:00 ish. lol. umm...my parents came late to dinner. they were supposed to arrive at about 6:30, but they didn't leave the house TIL 6:30, and when they got here, about 8pm, everyone was pissed off. well, i was waiting for them, and i put on my music and didn't hear doorbell, so my dad was already mad, and i was mad at him at being so touchy, and my mom was mad at my dad for being at work so late and that's why they got here late, and couldn't go grocery shopping with me like we planned. anyways, we went to Timeless, tihs Chinese place near UW and i saw Edward there, that guy from ACI. i don't really know him that well, but i know him. it was cool, cuz i didn't know he went to UW, so it was a surprise. um...yeah, after supper we came back to my rez and talked a bit. i didn't want to talk much becuz i'm like so used to being by myself and i honestly don't like being with my parents, especially when it's both of them. cuz then my mom and i would start talking and my dad would ask these stupid questions, cuz he's always at stupid work, he never knows what's going on. and no one like telling him becuz it's common sense. anyways, they left after a while and then everyone on my floor left to go to parties. i felt pretty alone, so i took my pillow and blanket and moved to the couch and watched a movie (Pay it Foreward). halfway through, Mel and her friends came back but it was okay cuz she lives here, so yeah, but then Deanna and Megan, these other girls from the first floor parades into our place and they're so freakin loud! i was really pissed off at them not only becuz they were loud but i mean, i was in the middle of watching a movie! like, holy shit! anyways, then more people arrived, mostly Colleen's house council friends, and then Jeff's friends from MacHouse. pah! ok i was like really pissed off then. i moved all my stuff back into my room and slammed my door, but i don't think anyone heard becuz the music was playing really loud. i went outside for a while to get some air, and quiet, when this group of guys start walking towards me. they were like "isn't there a party on the third floor?" i siad no. lol. anyways, i thought the front door was closed properly, but it wasn't. i found out when one of the guys just opened the door. i was like "oh shit!!" anyways, Deanna told them to leave and after a bit they did, and i was really upset that it happened, so i slammed the front door and walked towards campus. the school was locked so then i walked back to my place and tried having fun. i played a couple rounds of Spoons, but Deanna kept cheating so i left. after a while, the two girls from the top floor came down and we talked a bit, they said i could go to their place and do whatever, so i did. i went up there with my blanket and watched the rest of the movie. it was so relaxing and quiet. heheh and i ended up spending the night up there too becuz i didn't want to get waken up at like 5 in the morning. i went to sleep at 4:30. lol

sunday, i woke up at 12:15pm ish, and wnet back downstaires, ate, and started hmoework. i finished the theory excercise, and started studying for Psych. i was also waiting for Matt to call. it was about 2pm when i decided that i couldn't concentrate anymore, so i packed my stuff, and went to the Solarium (greenhouse) to study. it was so quiet there, i was afraid to move my chair, cuz it would make noise. after a while though i started losing my concentration becuz the graduates all came back to their commencement and there were all these people walking around outside in gowns and certs. i packed up and went back to my place. read a bit, then went on the omputer, yay. lots of fun! talked to rachel- she's doing better, after her eye infection. see what contacts do to you? tsktsk. anyways, i ended up not doing much reading after that. called Matt once but he was about to have dinner. so we hung up. wnet to floor meeting. Kiel seemed pretty pissed off about something, but yeah, it went okay. talked about rez wear, and what we should get. BLANKETS! i'm gonna design something to put on our stuff, whatever we decide to buy. i hope everyone else agrees with my idea! umm...i came back, practised violin a ibt, until Kiel came up and told me (nicely) that i shouldn't practise after 11 cuz ppl downstaires can hear it and they wanna sleep. so i stopped, and started a design thingy for our rez wear. about midnight, i called Matt and we talked and then i went to sleep. yay.

okay im done. that was long!! i'm still contemplating whether i should get the dress or not....hmmmmm...

interesting day: i was REALLY tired this morning. it took a lot of energy to get up. i felt a bit better about last night. i really was very upset, but trying to forget it all together. after my rudiements class, i went back to my place and took a 1 and a half hour nap. it did me some good. i got up at 12:15, and went to my 12:30 theory class. i tried participating and i listened really attentively. i kiiiinda understand the new stuff, but not really. after that, i had an hour to kill before 2:30, when i'm supposed to meet my theory teacher to discuss my exam. i had lunch with Steve and this other guy he was eating with, i forgot his name, but he plays oboe, and he's from BC. i had a tapioca rice pudding. it was yummy!! i wanted to go to the mall afterwards, the other one i've never been to, Conestoga, and Steve was like "do u need a shopping budding?" i said yes, and he agreed to come with me. and we'd see a movie too, cuz he wanted to see Kill Bill. so we made plans. then i went to my teacher and we discussed my exam. it really helped. i now know why i did so bad, and if i were to do it again, i'd get a good mark. anyways, after that i went back to my rez to get my jacket and leave my bag down, and met Steve at his rez, and we went to Conestoga Mall. we walked around a lot, and he bought this nice winter coat at GAP for like $60. it was really nice! originally like $100+ at Bluenotes, i bought this white hoodie sweater. it was on sale for $24.98, and originally, it was $44 something. it's like creamy colour preeetty! we walked around some more and had supper at Pizza Pizza, which really sucked cuz we waited for a looong time for our food, and the people working there were inefficient. anyway, after that we walked over to the theater (called the Galaxy. oooohhh!! LOL) and watched Kill Bill. it was a really good movie, i reallly liked it, and now i HAVE to see the next one, and maybe the next ones after that! the ending was so suspensful!! and after the movie i bought ice cream at the theater, and after that we came home. i got home at 10:30.

it was really really relaxing and took a lot off my mind. something i REALLY need. the past week has been HELL. how bout that history exam, huh? anyways, im so glad it's friday, and i can sleep in all i want tomorrow. yay!! i still have that big psych test on tuesday, but meh. friday is my night off. seriously. i'll study tomorrow, for sure.yay psych! actually, no, not really. pahhh...i'm tired!

anyways, i think im done posting. song of the moment: The Prayer by Josh Groban and Charlotte Church *melt*

fuck Wipo. i hate history.
i have one and a half hours left before CLASS! and after class is my EXAM!! AHHH!!! lol
but my internet just started working, so naturally, i'm blogging.
what to say...? i've gone thru a lot more people now. i decided to just stop and start from the end and work backwards. i'm so bored of staying in the friggin 9th and 10th century. so i skipped to the 15th. ahhh...so much better. but i'm at the 13th now, becuz i'm working backwards. it's not too bad though. i'll have to start my essay question soon. i'm so bad at essays, seriously. argh!
Yuen's good at history, maybe she can help me. if she's even reading my blog. hahah i doubt it, but that's okay.

hm hm hm! it's freezing today!! there was frost on the grass and cars and stuff, and it was COLD! i had to my eskimo sweater. and it was so comfy in psych, and the prof was just going on and on....i fell asleep. hahah and i'm like, sitting in the first row too. meh! i had the hood over my head, and no one saw. except Lisa, this girl who sits beside me. haha it was funny. and what's even more funny is that i'm saying it's funny, and we're learning about conflicts and agression in psych. muahaha

oki'm being crazy. i think it's the history. monks have such boring lives. esp. back then. i was talking with Matt last night and and we were talking about Boethius and how he has a cool name, but Wipo of Burgundy is even better! yay Wipo! (Wipe-O)

anywhoo, okay, i'm gonna start my essay now. i can just hear Matt saying "Get off the internet and do your wooorrrrkkk!!!"

soooo tiiired....bleugh. it took a lot of effort getting up this morn. and i went back to sleep after i found out that i had no food for breakfast. so i was like "meh." and took another 15 minute nap before class began. and it was cold outside. i was tired, cold, and sleepy. great. i don't think many people in Skills today was up to it. i sure wasn't. Rod was laughing at me. pah! anyways, yeah, i got my theory exam back. i booked an appointment with my teacher to talk about it. guess how i did on it?

grocery shopping was fun...somewhat. i have food!!! i think i'm going to have more soup. i bought this little box of 4 packaged soup mix, called Cup a Soup, or somethin like that, and it's really cool! and yummy too. but i have two hours left before i have to go to the MTSA gathering. yay more food! i've been trying to study once i got back from the store, but i couldn't get really into it. i'm sort of into it, but you know... my internet hasn't been working. it only works periodically, it's stupid. anyways, now it's working, and i had to check some dates of the people in my history book. St. Bendict lived from about 480-547. that's what i learned about two minutes ago. heh heh...aaaanywhoo, i'm cold.

oh! i bought a Laurier shirt today. it's like, sleeveless though, but it's pretty i'll probably wear it...soon...when i'm warm, or when i'm practising. i wanted to get a warm sweater, but all the ones they have are either ugly, or they don't have my size. *shrug* oh well...

anywhoo, yea, i'm gonna make more soup now. bub bye.

Tuesday, October 21, 2003

im so tired but i can't sleep. i was about to drift off at 11:45 when my fried, Tracy, called, asking if i was going to Music at Noon. i told her no because it's guitar today, and i'm gonna fall asleep. isn't Miacheal going? she said no, he's sleeping too, grr i don't want to go by myself.
i almost gave in and went with her, but i really don't want to. i know im gonna doze off, and i don't want to, becuz then everyone would see me and they'll think i don't appreciate it or whatever. anyways i'll go next week. i'm so freakin hungry right now, but i don't have enough time to eat at the moment so i'll eat after piano, which i always do anyways. i miiiight get some brownies...mmm....brownies...ok i think i'm gonna go get some right now. i crave brownies...ok i'll post more later.

Monday, October 20, 2003

ok im reading history, and there's this guy called Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius. isn't that just the bestest name ever?? it all ends in "ius"! except for Severinus, but nus is close enough to ius, dontcha think? HAHAHAHA!!!

ok i know im crazy, you don't have to remind me. i love this name. i'm gonna name my child Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius! muahahaha!!

ok back to reading....
ahhh yay! my internet works! it hasn't been working since last night. i dunno why. i think it's stupid.
anywhoo my weekend was fun! Matty came over and we went to the Wind Ensemble concert on Saturday, where some of my newfound friends were playing. There was this flute ensemble (my friend, Steve, who looks like Jordan, was in it), and they played the Barber of Seville. i love that song, really, but it doesn't sound as good with a bunch of girly girl flutes. *ahem* anyways, after that we went to this student-organized party type thing called Rocktoberfest. i actually wanted to go to the REAL Oktoberfest, but we didn't really have a chance to go. and besides we're not of age to drink. and beer tastes narsty! hahhah
aaaanyways, i kinda spent sunday studing for theory exam. (yes, i had an exam today). it didn't go that well. i should've started earlier, but i was just so damn tired! so i went to sleep. hahaha but i did make some notes, and actually learned some stuff! (ah, no wonder i got such a horrible mark on my last assignment!) anywhoo, after notetaking, Matt and i went to eat dinner at Eastside Mario's. it was....greasy? lol! yeah, but my chicken was good. mmm...and calamari...mmmm... greasy calamari...mmm...lol
we finished went back to my place and Matt's dad picked him up and took him home. and then i tried to study some more. i read my notes, and my textbook, and not long after i went to bed.

tihs morning after my first two classes, i studied a bit. my exam was at 12:30, and i was like TIRED! so i decided to take a nap. i set my alarm clock to noon, and it woke me up at 11:30!! stoooopid alarm clock! so i turned it off and made a mental note to get up at noon. i got up at 12:15. ACK! i shot out of my bed, packed my bag and ran out the door! i was like 5 minutes late, cuz i had to use the bathroom halfway. bleugh. lol oh well. i finished in time anyways. so that was alright. i hate counterpoint though, seriously. it's so freakin' hard and confusing! bleh. ah well. anyways, i don't have anything else to post anymore, so bub bye.

Thursday, October 16, 2003

i'm listening to Bohemian Rhapsody. *tear* memoriesss... so sad...
i don't think i posted about my Sunday evening. there was this play at ACI, and Matt and Mark were stage-crewing so i thought i'd drive by and visit. i haven't been to ACI since the summer. i miss it! i never get the chance to go back during when there is actual school. so anyways, i arrived there and i didn't want to buy a ticket for the show cuz i don't really care about it, so i walked up and down the main hall, looking at all the posters ads and pictures. it felt like going to school. a time when i didn't know what to expect at university. *sigh* anyways, the song ended now, so i am gonna stop gushing about how i miss ACI.

this evening, when i got back from sectionals, i was walking back to my rez, and there were all these cars in Seagram Dr. and people shouting from the stadium. Ramiz was walking behind me so we were like "is that a football game going on?" "i guess so." anyways, throughout the night i've been trying to work (key word, trying) and all i hear outside my window are cars honking, people shouting, and more honking. i got really frustrated and looked out my window. My window faces the street so i know what the hell's going on. anyways, i see ALLLLL these cars and buses and people walking up and down the street. i went out to the living room, and Colleen and Jeff were there so i'm like "what the hell is going on outside?" and they said one of Oktoberfest's events are held in the stadium, and it's gonna be all weekend. grrr!! anyways, then i went to take a shower, and when i came out, the street was empty and there were NO cars or buses. it was like they all apparated!! (apparated means that they disappeared. gotta read HP). anyways, so then i made jello cuz Matt's coming over tomorrow, and now i'm blogging. i really have to do my MacGamut stuff. ok i am gonna do it now. it's already 10pm. bub bye.

Wednesday, October 15, 2003

oh my gosh! i was just watching the news, and last night, in Montreal, there was this HUGE riot-like thing after a rock concert and about 40 cars were damaged. like, DAMAGED! set of fire, turned over, you get the point!
all this sounds oddly familiar.... music trip, G-8 riot anyone? hahahaha!
i think Jon would want to hear about this!
anyways... my Skills midterm SUCKED, mian. i was so pissed off. we have these 4 melodies we have to prepare and she asks us to do one of them. i practise 3 outta the 4, and the one she asks me to sing is the one i didn't practise! bloody heellll!! oh well. and yeah, my sight-singing also sucked. well it's been better than i first sight-singed (sung). it was so horrible. im in the kitchen now. i have the table all to myself! ahhhh... and my theory book in front of me cuz i have a dictation on friday and besides, i suck at theory. i asked Christine about my 3rd Species counterpoint homework last night and she never took harmony! grr...and then i was gonna call Pat, but it was like 12:30 already, and i don't know if him or Jackie (or both) went to sleep or not.

this is what i have to do today before i sleep:
1. study thoery
2. learn the chorale <-- that's gonna take a looooong time.
3. piano scales and progression (memorized)

there's some more but i cant think of it right now, so...meh!
ok reading time... i've got one hour before orchestra starts.

Tuesday, October 14, 2003

ok i came back from psych this morning and i was really tired, so i called Matt (cuz he was sick) and when i got off the phone, i took a nap. it was only like 45 minutes, but it was a pretty good nap. i actually didn't fall asleep during Music at Noon! today was the Penderecki String Quartet and these two guest artists. their performance was SUPER
anyways, yeah. they had a standing ovation! yup. anyways, in history, Steve wanted me to go grocery shopping with him after my master class, but then i was raining when i got out (at 7pm) so we didn't go. it's okay. honestly, i didn't wanna go THAT much. i have to do my theory assignment and practise for my Skills midterm tomorrow.

ok i think im actually going to start work now. maybe. heh heh...

moo haha

Monday, October 13, 2003

yay happy thanksgiving! i don't really have anything to be thankful of at the moment, since i have to spend another two weeks at least with my horrible flat-mate.
hmmm...actually, okay i do have something to be thankful of: i'm outta my parents' grasp again! whew! back to the normal life of no rules and no nagging.
i have a lot of homework to do though, mainly Skills (the MacGamut stuff, since i have to them all over due to the damn presets) and the theory assignment. i will do the thoery homework soon...once i figure out how to do it. screw the rule of "no discussing homework with anyone" i'm asking whoever i can who can help me. i forgot to call Christine over the weekend so ask about it. grrr... oh well. i'll ask...someone. i dunno.

anyways, oh yay, all my flat-mates are gone again. i have the whole place to myself! as if i'd do anything special. maybe i'll cook dinner....
ok i have to use the bathroom. then i'm gonna cook dinner. then maybe i'll be thankful for something other than getting away from my parents.

Saturday, October 11, 2003

i came back from waterloo last night. Jon and i rode on the stinkin yellow school bus. it was crap. but i saw Egene and Adrian!! it was wicked! anyways, we got back and i told my mom i might be staying the night at Emilia's, she started getting pissed off and yelling at me and shit, like i'm always going out and partying. we got into this huge arguement, and she fuckin made me take the bus. AND she gave me a curfew. bloody hell. anyways, so i waited like 20 minutes for the goddamn bus and when i finally came i got on, and it went sooo slow. i bumped into Matt on the bus and we walked to Mike's house. it was a long walk and i was pissed off. it felt kinda awkward when we were walking. i felt distant. when i got there though, it was all fun at first cuz i haven't seen so many ppl in a long time, like Kevin and Margaret. but i was a bit disappointed after finding out the booze has not been bought. cuz i thought Emily or someone would've bought it all in the afternoon. oh well. so we had to wait til Arrne arrived and then him, kate, and some other people i forget went and got our stuff. i was used to everyone smoking, so i really didn't mind it much then, but when Matt wanted to take a smoke out of Mike's, after everyone else smoked out of it, i was like "uhhh...iunno." well he was practically begging so i was like yeahyeah. but i was pretty damn upset. after that Kamla arrived, and she crashed into the screen. it was great! (well, funny) but then she greeted everyone and kinda looked at me and i was like "did you forget my name?" and she kinda laughed and didn't say anything. and kinda looked back at Mike and started talking, so i was really quite pissed off after that. i kinda sat still for a while, and then got up and left the room. i felt like shit, and i wanted to go home. Matt came out after a while and i didn't really want to talk to him then, but i had to at the moment. after a lot of coaxing and apologies, i went back inside, and not long after, the booze arrived. i quickley took one of my Smirnoffs and down it pretty quick. not all at once, but i was hoping it would lift my crappy mood. it did, a bit. i went outside and sat around with Kate and talked to Nique. I missed talking with Nique, she's so fun to talk with. Alexis, Carm, and Jordan arrived then, and i started to have fun.
Some randm points:
- i took Mittens out and put her on my lap. she/he clawed my thigh and now i have these three red claw marks. it hurts.
- Margaret left halfway through the party to go to another party. ditcher...pah
- my mom picked me up at Mike's at right at midnight. she's such a bitch. argh...i'm so mad at her. i'm not coming out next week.


today i went shopping at Agincourt mall, and saw Sarah working at Bulk Food. it was the first time i saw her working there. it was great! i haven't seen her in soooo long! we chatted a bit and then she had to get back to work. i developed my pics from the pacemaker gathering, my uncle's birthday, some random pics of ppl in my rez, and from the concert on thursday night. they came out really well. so i'm glad. i think my mom's not mad at me anymore. yeah, becuz i'm not out with my friends. ha. she's so selfish, i swear. when i grow up, i'm going to move far far away.

anyways, that's about it for my super long post. good night.

Friday, October 10, 2003

last night was soooo awesome. we had the concert first, and i was pretty rushed with eating and changing, since i just finished my lesson at 7. the Koncert (Mozart) went really well. the two pianists were dressed alike and all, so cute. i think they're related. oh well. anyways, the next one was the singing piece, that was good too. the singer girl is so talented, geeze... the next two pieces were alright, but i didn't like them too much in the first place. the Beethoven finale song ROCKED. i'm sooo fucking serious! i was sweating right from the first line! (okay...maybe around the fourth...lol) such a workout! but soooooo gratifying. the last movement was awesome beyond words! i was so completely concentrated and into it, like you wouldn't believe! and then the last note! DUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNN!!!
hahahaha!! i'm gonna buy the recording of our concert so everyone will be able to listen to it. lol after the concert everyone (on stage) was sweating nad panting and wiping their sweat off. lol it was quite a sight! but the feeling was one never to be forgotten. you know that feeling after you play a good concert? yeeaaa... i haven't had that in a while...it was great! i went back to my rez after with my parents to drop off some stuff, and then they left, i changed, called Mike, and then met up with James and Justin (my fellow violin buddies) and one of their friends, and headed to this place call Huethers. yay! it was fuuun!! Justin got so drunk and ate like 5 pounds of chicken wings. lol and James kept drinking beer but he would be like "tell me when she's around!" cuz our waitress was this Laurier girl who knew that he was underaged, so..yeah. anyways, after a loooong time, and everyone finished eating and paying, we went upstaires to the porch area, to hang out with the other musicians, and the conductor dude. it was great! i started chatting with the percussion dude cuz he is just such a wicked percussionist. and after more chillin and chattin, we wanted to walk back home, but james was talking with some people, so i just turned around and kept talking to the percussion dude, while i was waiting for them to finish. a couple minutes later, i noticed that they weren't around! they left without me! and i depended on them to walk me home. pahh... i didn't want to walk home by myself because it's not really safe, so i took a cab home. oh well. it was fun nonetheless. i came home, hung out with the girlies, and went to bed.

and that's the story of my night. my only regret was not to bring more film.

Wednesday, October 08, 2003

I didn't feel like blogging last night so i guess i'll do it now. i have 2 hours and 20 minutes left before i have to go to orchestra. and i still have to practise.
anyways, it was hard getting up tihs morning. sooo tiiireddd... i didn't get to class 15 before like i planned to. oh well. i did my play & sing after class. i also did my mock audition for Skills. it went better than my play and sing becuz for my P&S, i mostly practised the thing in C major, (cuz i thought she'd test me on it) but nooo i got tested in E major. arghh... messed up reeeeaaalllly bad. oh well.
i doesn't seem like quarter to 2. really. i've already done so much, and it's only 2! not even...feels like 3pm or somethin. oh well. i vacuumed our whole place too. tiring. pah! oh well. does allison still think i'm a slob? cuz she's SOOOO clean, you know. i washed all the dishes, even Joanna's, and cleaned our microwave, cuz it's dirty, and no one (not even the clean freak allison) had the initiative to clean it. bastards. or...bastard. (only one.)
people came in and are putting up railings for our balcony! yay we're getting a balcony! finally! they're still here. they're taking long. heh heh..
anyways, i don't really know what else to post...i have to go shopping tonight. i can't wait! yay shopping! and actually buying stuff!

it's such a nice day today. so warm and breezy. ahhh..... our theory classroom was SO STUFFY! pahh!! it sucked. it was so hot in there.
i'm listening to The Prayer. ahhh.... brings back memories.... and Josh Groban...ahhhhh.... *melts into a puddle of Mandy-goo*

ok thanks to all who commented.
*insert swear word here:____*

today was alright. school-wise. orchestra, class, all that. theory sucked as always, though. i almost fell asleep again. so tired. but i handed in my homework. i think i did a pretty good job. knock on wood. don't wanna jinx it.
i came back after my theory, ate lunch with ppl at kitchen table, and then ppl started leaving for class. Me and Allison. kept telling me to put my shit away.
"i don't mean to be a pest, but are you going to finish your pop? Sorry i'm a very clean person."
FUCK. like honestly, i can't leave anything on the fucking counter no more huh? sorry i'm such a slob. don't see you telling anyone else their shit's all over the counter. and your's. and if you're so clean go vacuum the fuckin carpet, cuz it needs a good vacuuming. bitch.

seriously, i've been taking her nagging and trash for way too long. i will leave my stuff where ever. and she will shut the hell up.

i get back from orchestra, and Yena's place (for our group assignment in Skills), called matt, and it didn't go so well. figures. when does a phone call ever go well nowadays? it kinda got better towards the end, but...meh. after we hung up i went to Clayton's room and talked about stuff. school, sports, friends. it cheered me up pretty good. not really good, but it took my mind off some stuff. then we leave for volleyball. it was a long cold walk, but volleyball was fun. i haven't been in a gym, and doing something other stand look in and stand around, since gr.9. yeaa....brought back memories.

not really.

anyways, we finished 15 minutes early cuz Colleen and Joanna had to meet someone. Me, Ashley, Clayton and Ryan walked back together. and now im blogging. oh yeah...good day, huh?

on a different note, i just remembered this morning that today's Kelvin's birthday. i don't think anyone who reads this will ever know the significance, but yea...it's my blog so it doesn't matter if you don't know.
anyways...i should head to bed soon. fucking 8:30 class tomorrow. goodnight.

still not doing homework. heheh i had a meeting with my room-mates, discussed chores and other stuff we need to do. i cooked some instant noodles for dinner, and grilled some chicken, which im eating right now. it's salty. bleugh! anyways, i had a meeting with my room-mates, and we talked about chores nad stuff we needed to buy, or get. i like vacuuming! so im going to vacuum. so one argued with me becuz no one likes vacuuming. Ryan came in telling us that Kiel opened the dishwasher while it was cleaning and now they have bubbly foam all over their kitchen floor. i took a picture of it. it's damn funny! Apparently i missed a lot over the weekend. girl from upstaires came to our flat all pissed drunk and barfed all over our place and shit. and Blaire, some guy who lives across the street and a friend of Mel's came over and had this huge verbal fight. ouch. anyway, i try not to be involved in these things. it's best.

the new colours are working now! yay! it's all purty and blue! i wanted red, but it didn't work as well, so...meh!

anyways, i don't have anything else to post...
yay im back. im actually kind of glad. im getting tired of my parents nagging at me and shit. i'm used to doing whatever i want whenever now. it's great. went to Costco today, bought a keyboard for my room so i won't have to go all the way to the practise rooms and do it. so convenient. it's great. i love my keyboard. i still have to do my homework, which is due tomorrow. oh well. i'll do it later.
my mom dropped my Harmony textbook on the floor and now it dented. stupid mother. it's not nice and perfect anymore. it's a blasphemic book. goddammit. went to dim sm with my aunt& uncle today in Brampton. BRAMPTON! that's far. oh well. then we went to their house, and stayed a while. it was kinda boring.

i spent like so long last night changing the colours on my blog, and now i don't see the changes. what the hell happened?? stupid blog.
errr....i mean...nice blog....
anyways, i don't even know who reads this anymore, besides Matt.
HEY!! leave me a comment if you still read my blog!!

ok i'm done. bub bye.

whoopie im home again for the weekend. so far, it isn't too bad. there was one low point, and that was today, after lunch with my mom i was telling her how i was gonna go shopping by myself (with matt, but she doesn't need to know that) and she was like "i'll come with you! i can give you suggestions, just like i did with the boots!" (i was going to buy nice high black books to replace the ones i have now) anyway, so i tell her no and all that. honestly, i'm pretty used to doing whatever i want, whenever now. making decisions by myself without consulting anyone. i like that. it's so much easier. but anyway, back to my story. i finally got her to agree to stay home after several minutes. i got home, and about 5 minutes later, when i was about to leave and tell Matt that i was going to pick him up, he calls me and tells me he's going to band practise and he won't be back til 6:30. and by that time i will be back, and i won't be allowed to go out again, so there i am driving to STC, thinking how i won't see him for another week, (i called earlier, when i got in the car, but no answer) when Matt calls me back, saying i could pick him up, and he's gonna skip band practise. i felt bad, but glad at the same time. i wnet to pick him up, and back to STC where i did my shopping and stuff. we also bumped into Matt Fisher. that was nice. shopping was fun. kinda. but i had to leave early, so that sucked. but yeah, that part was the low of my day. (thinking that i won't be seeing Matt for another week, and the thing with my mother. *SIGH* mothers....grrr) but it turned out pretty good. so...yup!

anyways, im looking foreward to my violin lesson tomorrow. yay more playing! my neck is going to frickin break!! Matt was like "you have to stop letting guys give you hickies all the time!" and last night my brother was commenting on my neck and he was like "ewww! that's disgusting!!" and my mom said "you're starting to look like Bernard!" (Bernard's my violin buddy who also has this huge rash on his neck) but my neck today was better than yesterday. seriously. last night was just BAD. and it kinda hurt too. today, it's just there. red and dry and narsty. lol anyways...yeah. and that's my story.

it's almost 11:30.
i woke up this morning at 8:05. I literally got up, changed, grabbed a muffin, and ran out the door. and i was early to class. nice, huh? i ate my muffin while i walked to class. it wasn't as cold as yesterday, but it was still kinda chilly.

Mike came over for dinner last night, becuz we couldn't think of any place to go. and besides, i still had a lot of fried rice leftover from the potluck. So we ate that, and i grilled some chicken ribs that i bought from No Frills. they were yummy. i didn't defrost them, so while they were grilling they defrosted themselves, and i kept on finding more pieces. like, first it was just one huge chunk, then it became two. then after a little bit, it became three. then four, then 5. hhahaha but they were small pices, so it wasn't a lot anyways. i still should've defrosted them. whatever! we had a long serious convo (after the stupid once about selling photos). it was nice. i haven't really had any long serious convos with anyone for a while. like, ACTUALLY serious. it got me all upset. it was embarassing. kinda....not really. kinda. anyways, it was fun tho. and then we were talking about buying people presents for Christmas and stuff, and i was telling them how i wanna get a Laurier sweater for myself and stuff, and Ram was working on his laptop is our living room, and he was like "Yeah, you can get me one too." heheh so im like "when's your birthday? i'll think about it." and he was like "just kidding!" so i'm not getting him a sweater. lol i wasn't going to anywyas. i want ooonneee! but the one i like doesn't have my size. grr... (as Karen, from BSC would say, "Boo and bullfrogs")

Joanna and Colleen were telling me how last night, the girls from upstaires were having this party and all these guys were over and it was like 1 am and were so loud. i guess i was really tired becuz i didn't hear anything. apparently, they called the duty don (cuz Kiel was sleeping over at a friend's place) and the duty don told them to be quiet and they didn't, and they were supposed to come down and apologize, but they didn't either. Joanna said she and Cole went up and told them to be quiet, and they didn't even open thier door for them, and they just siad that they were sleeping. RIGHT. but i'm not in any part of this, so whatever.

My Skills midterms are on the 15th and 17th. boooo. i better do well on them. or else. (or else what?) or else i'll get kicked out. =( yeaaa...
anyways... my sunflowers are dying. they're wilting so much. oh well...
oh! oh! my mom just told me Joanna Tang's having a fundraising concert on the 18th, so i think im coming back for it. hee hee she's my heroin! she's such an amazing violinist, she inspires me! heh heh. anywhoo, kay im done posting. bub bye!
