i hate this layout

Friday, January 8th, 2010

I desperately  need to change this layout! it’s ugly now, and annoys me when I look at it. HA!

I still don’t remember my password to log onto my website or FTP.. so I’m stuck with this damn layout. :( Oh welly

What’s new with me since I last update? Well since I last update, it was NOVEMBER! It is now January 2010! Been a while! ;)

School: First semester went well. I ended up pretty much acing most of my classes, ended up with a 4.0 GPA and on the honor roll. Go me! pfft… no, but really.. that has never happened to me before. The last time I was “smart” was when I was in grade 2.. in 1992! HAHAHAHAHA  Even in the family, good grades only happened to my oldest of brothers. My other brother and I were the … underachievers or just lazy. heh

Christmas was okay. I’ve never really gotten into the holiday season since my mom died 2 years ago. Since she passed in December, it’s very hard for my family and I to celebrate. So we just had a low-key Christmas, exchanged gifts with the immediate family, and had a nice dinner.

I also went on holiday the last week of December! Went to Vancouver with Laur to visit Kiki!!! We had a blast! BC is so much different than anywhere on the East Coast. It’s so beautiful! As soon as the pilot announced that we were landing soon, we checked out the window.. and I was in AWE. The MOUNTAINS! My gosh. I don’t remember seeing mountains quite like it. So pretty! It is also insanely clean on the streets of Vancouver. EVERYWHERE. No garbage, no smellyness… It’s so different than Toronto. I would love to move there, if I had the money to.. and a got a job there. New years was good, we all dressed up and partyed at Kira’s place. It was fun. :)

Semester 2 started up this week. I’ve only had 3 classes out of the 6.. but it seems to be going well. I have a lot of fun classes to look forward to! I even get to learn about … Photoshop. HAHAHAHA I’m aiming for high 90’s in that course! Wish me luck! lmao ….

Montreal was fun!

Tanning at the beach with Laurie

Last weekend I went to Montreal to go camping with the awesome Laurie. :D I had a really great time. I went with a friend from work who didn’t seem to have as much fun as I did, kind of a downer. BUT I made the most of it. We left here around 11am and got to the campground after 4pm. It didn’t take as long as I thought it would. I’ll definitely make the drive again if I have to :P OH, I also got to ride on a Ferry!!! :D It was pretty cool, never done that before. I was totally NOT expecting it too. It was like all of a sudden I turned in this small town and then there was a line up for the Ferry. HAHA. We celebrated by playing “I’m on a boat” by T-Pain ;) It was rediculously fun.. HAHA We drank and tanned on the beach all day long. Now I’m so dark, it’s pretty crazy. I guess I don’t need to use my tanning minutes anymore. I don’t want to be any darker than what I am right now heh.

This coming up weekend I was supposed to go to Darien Lake, but everyone canceled last minute. So we had to cancel our reservations :( (n) Now this leaves me with the entire weekend and more off. I’m off Friday-Wednesday!!! What the hell am I gonna do with myself?! I wish I could plan a last minute trip, but I would only want to go to Las Vegas or maybe New York City.. and I haven’t saved up enough for semi-big trips like that. I could only afford the flights. :( Ah well. I may just save the money I was going to use for Darien Lake, and put it in my B-day Trip fund. :D I really hope that will happen! It has to!

OH!! On Monday I picked up my new laptop for school. It’s a 15″ MacBook Pro. It’s so pretty and I love it already. I even went out to the Apple store right after and picked up a pink (outter)case/shell and white sleeve for it. Customizing for me IS everything! :D

Long time.

It seems that every time I update, months have passed and there always is a new available version of Word Press. Heh.

My summer has been pretty amazing so far. I’ve done a lot this year, trips and such. Summer’s not over yet either :) Let’s see; June: Saw NIN and New Kids on the Block. July:  BBQ’s, Parties, Kingston, Camping in Parry Sound. August: Caribana boat cruise, B-Days, Camping in Montreal, Darien Lake (w/ Blink concert).

I love summer!! September is coming up quick! I’m going back to school. HAHA, that shall be an interesting experience lol. I’m pretty excited for it. I haven’t been in school in 4 years! My classes are all registered, I got (some)books, parking pass… My classes are pretty good. I only have 1 8AM class and my days are pretty short too. Latest I have to be at school is 6pm. *thumbs up*

Right now I’m organizing a trip to Las Vegas. I know, surprise surprise ;) I’m thinking about going October 29th until November 2nd :) FOR HALLOWEEN! I’ve only been to Vegas during summer months..  and those dates are just after my birthday. The big 2-5!!!  So I thought it would be pretty amazing to celebrate in Vegas. I hope this will happen!! I’ve been going through withdrawals ! HAHA It’s almost been a year since I went last! :O LOL

New things

Monday, March 16th, 2009

I went to an orientation for college today with my dad. It all went really well. We asked questions about the program, saw students work and portfolios, and went on a school tour. Pretty full day even though it was only for 2 hours. I loved everything I saw.  The program I’m taking you get use of your own laptop, which is a Macbook Pro btw ;) … There are no exams *Thumbs up* The program is all about projects, etc..  You learn everything media based basically. Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, Web Design, Graphic Design.. etc. Looks like a good program. There is a placement at the end, so you get a bit of experience in the end at a company too. At the school it includes a bus pass within Durham (where I am), and gym membership :) Sounds like a pretty sweet deal. HAHA & when I was at the school I saw a bunch of people I already know and some of my friends are taking a new program in the fall too. I’ll have some people I already know going to school.  BONUS! :) ;P

Anyway, I went to Kingston on the 6th for Andrea’s Bday. I had a really great time. Lots of partying!! My fave. HAHA. It’s always good to get away from the normal. I love to travel so much. I’m planning on going back next week. So more fun to come! I can’t wait. This time, no crazy partying drinking… I think at least ;) Planning on seeing Knowing. I love Nicolas Cage! His movies never disappoint me.

Last week I got a new laptop! :D :D I got this one from Best Buy it was on sale then. I picked it up last Thursday night. I’m pretty happy with it. It runs perfectly, so smooth and quick. I never thought I’d love a PC again. HAHAHAHA… I do miss my Mac OS though. :( oh well, soon September will come and I can use it again. har har. Laptops are so convenient,  love it. I’m not use to the webcam though. Sometimes I get freaked out that someone can see me. I’ve always had my webcam disconnected on my desktop, that’s just me being paranoid. A few weeks ago they had a episode on CSI (with Diddy btw) and they could access a stolen laptops webcam remotely.. that was freaky HAHA I know that’s all Hollywood though ;)

IN MAY I am planning a trip to see Laurie in Montreal!!!!!! At the end of the month for her birthday. I haven’t seen her in a while. Like 2 years maybe? I forget. So I’m pretty stoked about that. Should be fun!!!

Umm, and I dunno what else…. ttyl

Colleges

Monday, March 2nd, 2009

Well I had my ‘drawing test’ for one the the programs that I applied to. It was tough! There were 6 pages, first two pages of questions and the rest was all drawing. You had to draw a story board of whatever you wanted, 2 designs for a company, logos (x4) and then there was a free page where you drew whatever you wanted. It was definitely NOT what I expected. I’ve applied to a similar program at the same college, and they didn’t make you do THAT much drawing. :( I like drawing on the computer than in hand. I’ve kinda lost my sketching ability. I should practice LOL

BUT other news, I got into my 1st choice!  So I didn’t really have to take that test, but I wanted to keep my options open and have different choices. My tuition for the 1st year is $5,000.. :( So I gotta start saving. I am kinda depending on getting a OSAP loan. I don’t think I will be able to save up that much for July/Aug? :/ *Keeps fingers crossed*

This weekend I’m going up to Kingston for Andrea’s Birthday!! I’m really looking forward to it! Anywhere is better than where I am.. HAHA I am hoping that we don’t have a snowstorm on the night I have to drive up. Last year that’s what happened, and I was so sad. I’m praying that something like that doesn’t happen.
