i'm in the CAI lab..... by myself. it's so weird... and quiet.
i'm locked out of my house, because i forgot to bring my keys when i changed backpacks this morning. but now i am killing time til 6 so i can meet with Mel so she can show me this room in the Peter's building, because that is where i am writing my theory exam tomorrow, and i have no idea where the Peter's building is. i am so oblivious to the entire business and econ faculty, it's not even funny. i think i've only been to one of the business buildings during school time once, and that was only cuz i was following Eunie. and it scared me. i was SURROUNDED by biz kids. there were sooo many of them!! there are a couple of people writing the theory exam in the same place as me, but i don't know who they are. well, i guess i'll find out tomorrow.
well, i went to RN today to drop off my summer weekly schedule, and to pick up my paycheque. then i headed over to Shoppers. i came out, and i saw Alex outside smoking with Dave.
and i bet you think there was more to that story..... but there isn't. haha! they went inside and i took the bus back. that was for Fran, i know she misses my "Mandy Stories". anyway... i hope that when i work on weddnesday, it won't be weird. well.. it will be if i let it be, so i'll try not to.
"Going to the Gym Everyday in the Summer" day 1 has begun. i'm excited about going back tomorrow!

in scarbro... not enjoying. i lost my umbrella. HSC radiothon today, went fantastic. being on the radio was... umm.... interesting. i don't like being able to hear myself. and i don't think my interview went that well. oh well. it was still an awesome experience. pictures from cuba/mikey's house/huether's didn't come out great. buh... what a waste of 14$.
history exam last night went well, i think. i don't want to jinx it, but seeing as i was freaking out before going in, i think i did okay. i remembered all my dates. the matching was kinda hard, but it's okay. my essay was kinda shitty too, cuz i forgot most of my finer points, but i wrote 4 pages, so.... i hope that was enough. but it's santosuosso, so you never know.
anyway... i'm gonna go research more on which continent i want to backpack to.
