Counting Down/Summer Update

60 days till I'm back in Edmonton-I am so stoked! It can't come fast enough! I've really had enough of being home. It sort of helps now that I have a full time job-at Tim Hortons, lol. Actually, I almost wish it was part time so I could somewhat have a life. My shift is Wednesdays to Sundays, 2 till 10, so I really can't do anything except for on my days off.. I don't think I'd really be doing anything anyways because the people I want to hang out with are also busy haha. At least my pay cheques make it all better! Such a stressful job though (at least for me). I put too much stress on myself to do things as perfectly as possible, but at least because of that all my coworkers and especially superiors realize I'm doing a good job and they are very impressed so I keep getting to learn new things that only a few know how to do. Like preparing "backup", stuff for sandwiches and stuff like that, and decorating the Cold Stone ice cream cakes! That part was pretty exciting!

Oh my goodness, so Lyndsey and I went bowling yesterday for the first time since Nationals... man I sucked! It didn't help that 2 of my thumb holes were too big because my thumb swelled in St catharines, but by our last game I was sort of back. 211, not bad but I think I was doing it soo wrong haha. It just sucks because after nationals i felt like I improved so much and that I could do so well and I just wanted to bowl sooo bad! I didn't though so now I feel like I'm off worse than ever. We are planning on going every other week for the rest of the summer so that we aren't rusty for league in September, so I'm glad for that. It was still a fun time though and it felt good to shake off some rust :)

Cosmos is having a get together! I got tired of waiting for Jess to organize it so I went ahead and did it myself :s lol. We're just going to go out to a bar but I feel bad because one of the girls isn't 18 yet.. but it's kinda late to switch dates and what we're doing.. hopefully we can do something else another time. But I'm really excited to see these girls again, it's been almost an entire year, and they were a humongous part of my life the last 2 years. It was the best soccer team ever, and everyone knew it-as in people not involved with our team. Girls wanted on our team instead of the Tier 1 team (we were tier 2). I was so lucky to get on this team, I'm so glad I made that decision to move up and that this team's original coach was also my sisters coach and that's how he knew me and convinced the people making the selections to put me on the team. I'm so grateful, even though he's kind of lost his mind now and no one likes him, especially since he abandoned our club. Man I so wish I was playing soccer this summer, next summer though! Money, again, was the issue haha.

Arg, work in just over an hour.. I don't know how I make it through the day..

Nothin doing

I got my first interview lined up today for a summer job! I'd don't think I'm going to go though, it's possible that I'm going to have to pay to have training or whatnot and that's just not going to happen. Yes I should go to see just in case, but the more I think about it, I don't want this job-even though it would probably pay really good. It's with AIL Canada, they sell insurance, I think my position would be to inform on the insurance.. they said my resume looks good for the position... how? I've done nothing, I have no experience with this. Which is what everyone else on the web is saying the company told them, so.. I think I'd prefer working for a legit company I know than for them.. I'm gonna call in the morning and say I'm no longer interested. And hey, at least someone finally called me for a job!

Urgh, I have a cold now, not feeling too hot. My ears/head are stuffed up and I have a runny nose. I woke up at 4am boiling! Hopefully it goes away before Friday-the start of Team Trials.

27 degrees today and I was only able to tan for like an hour. After that, clouds started to roll in-rain clouds. I don't think it's rained here yet, but the sun was hidden and I was not pleased. But then I watched movies that I recorded last night on EAHD, no commercials! Three to Tango is sooo funny, gotta love Matthew Perry (somehow I forgot his first name and called him Corey haha-oh! That's a hockey player, wow, lol)

So no NHL today, but the Hitmen are on sportsnet! Looking for their second win in the Memorial Cup, facing Windsor tonight. Should be a good game; up against Taylor Hall-possible #1 pick for the Oilers in June.

Can Thursday get here already so I can go have fun and not be bored all day? Please?

I've got bowling on my mind. Just had Team Alberta practice in Edmonton today for the National Youth Championship taking place in St Catharines, Ontario the 27th-30st. I'm so friggen excited now after meeting and bowling with the other team members. I think I may end up treating the Canadian National Championship the week before as a practice for the youth one. It's gonna be tough, I've never been to these sort of things before, well never been in a position that I could actually do well. I had a tourney in Detroit 2 years ago but I made it by complete fluke, really, and I didn't do too well. This time around, I know I'm completely capable of averaging anywhere from 180-200, which, if I ave. around 200, gives me a very good chance to win! Hopefully the pressure won't be too much for me to handle; I'm gonna go out and try to buy a stress ball tomorrow; I think I left my other one in storage in Edmonton..

Gah, 5 days hurry up!!

I ♥ bowling

Playoffss

So not too pleased with tonight's results in the NHL. I am/was cheering for Pittsburgh since so many Canadians are on that team. But this whole series against Montreal has been horrible. Before it began I thought it'd be a cinch for the Pens; I have been proven wrong. The big stars for the Pens did not get it done. Crosby looked like a lazy bum, not wanting to get to the puck first, not moving his legs. Granted, the habs did a good job shutting him down, so props to them. I wanted a repeat so bad though!! Gah. Well I'll cheer for Montreal now, since they are the only Canadian team left, but they are so not going to win. I think they could make the final but I don't think there's a chance of them beating San Jose or Chicago. Watch, they'll do it just because I said they can't, just like with this series.. that wouldn't make me mad though, it'd be nice to see the cup come back to Canada. But enough of all the "oh, we weren't supposed to be here so we're just enjoying it, blah, blah, blah". Obviously you should be there if you beat WASHINGTON AND PITTSBURGH.

Maybe Yzerman will call up Crosby to get him to come to Germany; Canada is down 2 guys and they just lost to Switzerland. SWITZERLAND! FOR THE 1ST TIME EVER! What is that? Oh they'll come back for sure though, they prob needed that diversity lol. Anyways; good luck to both Canadian teams now. I'm going to go play NHL 10 now and win me a cup to make me feel better haha.

How am I going to last the summer the next 3 and a half months at home? I can't stand living with my family anymore. What's worse my sister has.. issues.. and I think it's starting again and it freaks me out. I don't know what to do about it. Parents are out of town so I'm not going to tell them now, almost for sure when they get back. I have to. This is getting ridiculous. I also REALLY need to get out of the house aka get a job. I'm always feeling tired, crappy. I'm just gonna have to suck it up and go apply somewhere like Tim Hortons or something.

UGH. I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE ANYMORE!

It's Already Over?

Question.. where did the year go? Answer.. I wish I knew. I remember thinking last August that I wanted it to be over quick, that I'm going to hate living away from home. Now I find myself wanting it to last for ever, not wanting to go home. Unfortunately, that is exactly where I am. I have no desire to be here, I want to be living in res with my friends having a good time. Not to say I won't have a good time here with my high school friends, but.. Change is difficult, I don't like it.

Now it's time for real life. AKA get a job. Ugh. I know I need to get on it, but I really just want to relax now that I'm back. But I bet you anything, tomorrow afternoon I'll be sitting around doing nothing and my mom will be pestering me asking if I've started looking again. Kay, so I am just lazy, I know that looking really doesn't take much but.. still.. I'm sure other students out there know what I'm talking about..

Anyways, hopefully a bunch of us will be able to get together at least once this summer. We all live close enough to the city anyways.. a few them might just need a full day to get here is all haha.

I'm going to take the initiative this summer and get lots done, but right now I just need to recharge and hopefully my laziness doesn't take over and hopefully my mom can understand that for now..

It kind of is good to be back though, for now.. oh comfy bed.. :)

Ridiculousness

Finally stats homework is over, what a pain that was becoming. Seriously, the biggest question on it was from a lab that we spent 5 minutes on. Okay, maybe I didn't pay attention, but there were no notes for this, the homework is usually done off of class notes! Good riddance forever! Not going to miss you!!

Linguistics 305=major ridiculousness. 'Nuff said. This teacher is kinda crazy, only bases stuf off of her opinions, how are we supposed to know what you're looking for if you don't tell us?! GAH! This whole semester has been insane, it's supposed to be a GPA booster, but instead it's dragging it down and I find myself with french being the booster. Never would have thought that would happen! (Kind of ironic though since I'm going to a french University haha)

Man I can't wait till this semester is done! 8 more days!! Holy moly!!
