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 ….

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

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!
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

A few things new since I last updated. I applied to school, so if all goes well, I will be a student again in the fall!
I’ve been accepted to one of my choices (3rd). Now I’m just waiting on my first choice, the school which is the closest to me (20 min drive away). *Keeps my fingers crossed* A few of my friends are going to school in the fall too, so we were thinking about getting a house together. LOL … but that’s still in the works. I don’t actually think it will happen. haha.
I have another opportunity to go to Las Vegas again next month. A friend of mine is going at the end of March for the weekend, it’s so tempting!!! I really want to go for longer than that though. There’s still so many things that I haven’t seen yet! Like go to a strip club, see a wedding chapel, shows, see the outlets, Fremont St…the grand canyon. etc… & I’ve seen some deals on car rentals and they are SO CHEAP!! ..except I’m not 25 yet
So I don’t know how that will work… BUT I am going for sure at the end of August again for my friend’s 21st birthday, so maybe I should wait until then. :/ *SIGH.. I don’t think I can wait THAT long! LOL
