I like happy old people.

So I just got home from work and I must say that the highlight of my day was seeing a happy old couple. It's not that happy old couples are hard to come by, but you rarely see old couples that act happy to actually be with eachother. Today I saw this little old man and wife holding hands. I can't say that I have ever seen two people that looked more in love than they did. Usually at my work you get the crabby old people who only bicker at eachother, or the wife or husband is pushing the other in a wheel chair, or even better, the two people are so old that they have no idea what is going on. That's always fun. Reenactment: Old Guy "I want a banana split" Me: "Would you like whipped cream and nuts on top?" Old guy "WHAAATTTT?! I SAID I WANT A BANANA SPLIT!!!". You get the picture. There's also one old guy that I nicknamed the Senior Savers Card Guy. Whenever I see him, I avoid him. He is the meanest old guy ever. Way back in the day, we had senior savers cards. It's like one of those stamp card things but every time you get 10% off. We stopped offering them a long time ago but this guy still has them, and since he's been coming EVERY Saturday for what seems like forever, we keep giving them to him. He gets mad when employees don't know how to give him the percent off and that we always have to get a manager to do it. This isn't our fault, we aren't allowed to do it so obviously we don't know how. Then, he walks you through his exact order. It isn't just "I want _____". It's "Go get 2 banana boats. *I walk and get them* Now put butterscotch in the bottom of one. *do that*" It's a step by step process with him and he doesn't trust you to do it right. So annoying. Now anyways, back to the point. Happy old couples. Yes, so usually the old people don't like eachother but this couple was so so happy. It was amazing. I couldn't imagine how happy they must have been when they were first falling in love in their twenties and when they got married and had kids. It was so beautiful to see and I can only hope to have that when I'm their age. Old people make me happy. At least the ones that aren't rude and think because I'm young I'm ruining the country. End Rant.

So I'm definitly going to get started on this blog revamp. I have no idea what it's going to look like, but I can see a shit load of googling in my future. Starting now, this blog is officially under construction.

lots and lots of thinking

I apologize for my last post, I was in a really bad mood (I think that was apparent....) and needed to do a quick vent. Back to normal now, summer is in full swing and I have been working a lot. I work on average four shifts a week and I am expecting that to go up to five by mid July. Most of my shifts are morning shifts which means I work all day. I have no complaints about that though because I need the money. I have been putting 2 thirds of every cheque towards university. Last week I worked 9.5 hours for one of my shifts but on average they are like 6-7 hours. Pay day is sweet to say the least. The good thing about work besides the money is A) the tips (I just rolled forty dollars in coin) and B) it gives me structure. I actually hate summer, the late nights and sleeping in in the morning screws me up. I like getting up for school everyday and following a routine. I thrive on structure and summer days get me lost. I like the break from schoolwork but its so annoying...and the heat sucks. I like fall. Fall is fun.

So lately I have been thinking A LOT about travelling...more specifically about going on exchange. I started thinking about it a few years ago, but then stopped thinking about it because I could not afford the 8 thousand (and more) dollar price tag. Then last year my moms friend mentioned Rotary. Rotary is a worldwide club that works in other countries to stop Polio and is a service above self organization. Part of the organization is increasing world ties, therefore youth exchange. Rotary Youth Exchange sponsors students to go to another country for an entire year. The best part of Rotary is the whole sponsor part. Basically you cover the plane ticket and visa plus your spending money and thats it. Sometimes your host club even gives you monthly spending money. Everything else is covered by Rotary. They find the host family and school and even sponsor events while in your country. Theres tons more but you get the picture. Its awesome. The exchange website is here. I've also read a ton of outbound student's blogs and watched tons of youtube videos. I may even say I am an expert on Rotary exchange. The one downside is that you arent guaranteed to get your first choice of country. Basically when your local club decides to sponsor you, they send your application to clubs in the other countries that you want to go to, and then whichever one decides to accept you is the country you get. My first choice would be France, but if France doesn't except me I am also considering Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium, Denmark, Norway...pretty much anywhere in Europe. I just need to go somewhere, far far away. Not that I don't like Canada, I love where I live and I love all my friends and family. I just need something new and something challenging. Something that I get to do on my own, that is just mine. I want to immerse myself in a new culture and language and meet new and interesting people. There are ups and downs, obviously I would be extremely homesick but there are bumps to get over and lots of amazing opportunites and experiences that I would love to do. The only thing that I need is more volunteering, because of the whole service above self part, they like to accept students that are involved in teh community. I am involved at school but I dont' do a lot in my city, so I am going to contact some people tomorrow and then hopefully apply for Rotary in August or September! (fingers crossed...). My parents have been supportive for the most part, probably because I have done so much research and am able to answer every single question they have asked me. Hopefully everything works out and I can apply. I don't like the fact that I will have to start university a year later but this would be sooooo worth it!!

Other than that. Nothing is new. Nothing. I started cleaning my room today....I was going to do it like 3 weeks ago but never got around to it...I procrastinate...a lot. One upside to summer though is that I get to watch movies in my backyard! I'm having some friends over this weekend to watch them with the projector outside. Fun stuff. Maybe I will start blogging regularily again. That would be good. I'm thinking a facelift is in order. This layout is getting old and I don't really think its that me. New will come. I promise...maybe even soon....whole life makeover....

Officially Tired of Everything

I need a change. School is boring, Food is boring, T.V. is boring, and last but not least, people are boring, annoying and really need to figure out what the hell they want from me.

On a new note, I only have one exam left and then its summer! wooot.

Holy Shit Who's Back?!

Yo frannnds, yes it is me. No, I did not die. I apologize for being gone so long. I needed to get off the blog for a while, and I just sort of forgot about it for a bit. But all is well now, and I am here. So recently I have being feeling extremely hipster and getting into the indie music scene and hipster clothing. Eventually I will enter into the entire hipster transformation! If you are hipster, please tell me, where do they buy all their clothes? Do you automatically become bad ass if you become hipster? To me hipster is a lifestyle, and I love it.

Guess what? I got my G2!!!! I can drive by myself now and it is sooooo exciting. The other day I had the windows down, music blasting and I was just jamming as I drove along and it was awesome. Driving makes me feel so grown up now. For some reason, when I first got my license, I didn't feel like I was old enough to drive. My whole life I've felt like a child. I have an older brother that I have always looked up to, and when I see his friends, they treat me like "Dave's Little Sister!". It's not a good lable, the don't talk about important things infront of me, nudity in movies should not be watched by me, and they feel bad when the swear infront of me. Seriously, I'm not a child and I've heard waaay worse in highschool. Then there's those stupid bitch people who still looks at me like little Jennifer, the cute, smart, nerd girl who never does anything bad. Which is true, and I am proud of, but that doesn't mean I'm retarded. I have accepted that I will never be 'cool' in their eyes, but I will definitly be better than them when they are lying in gutters due to alcohol poisoning and being addicted to hard drugs. Which trust me, is not far from the truth right now.

I would also like to let y'all know that I am going to be attending The Script concert on Tuesday!! Yes it is finally here! I am soooo excited, and will post a shit ton of pictures when it comes.

Also, never read or watch the movie 'The Crucible'. It is retarded and I want to slap every character in that book. Since when can a 17 year old who had sex with a 30 year old get angry and be like "that chick's a witch! Now everybody dies! Yay!!!". Who the fuck in their right mind would believe a dumb bitch like her? What the hell has the world come to. Thank god that was like the 1700s and not today. I would kill myself before I subject myself or anyone else to that nonsense. Also, I have an inkling that Reverend Hale is gay, or atleast the one in the movie. (For a great post on dumb bitches click here..I also recomment you read the rest of that blog considering it is hilarious and has a great story goin on).

Anyways, nothing else interesting or fun is going on in my life but I will be back on again, hopefully before another 3 months goes by......

tata.

I'm feeling Artistic

So, for some reason I always get my inspiration at night time...I've already mentioned for cleaning my room and now also for painting. I always paint, draw, clean, read, and do homework at night. So, I just painted this

For my Dad ♥

Inspired from this:

 
This is Pierre Bouvier, lead singer of Simple Plan. The San Diego Leukemia & Lymphoma Society are having an art auction on ebay where you can buy paintings painted by famous people in collaboration with a cancer survivor. Unfortunately, I don't have the 500 + dollars to bid on this beauty so I thought why not create my own? I absolutely adore this painting, and it hits close to home. If you have the money Go Bid! (and if you win, give it to me...)

Exams are over!!

My large stack of notes, not included are my 4 very heavy textbooks.

So long Biology, Math, Religion, and Med Science, Hello Music!

YAYYAY! I am soo excited you have no idea. The bad part of it though is that I am bored out of my mind. I tried cleaning my mess of a room, but I just had no motivation to do that, then I was going to make cookies but then I would have to clean the kitchen first. I've decided to clean my room tonight though. For some dumb reason that I cannot comprehend, I enjoy cleaning my room at night. How that works? No idea! Whenever I just get the feeling to clean my room, it is always night time. and weekends, I will clean my room on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon while watching movies. That is always fun. People always think I'm crazy when I tell them that I actually find fun in cleaning my room, but that's just the way it works. I can't explain it that well, but I guess I just like to be organized....and I have a lot of stuff so it gets messy very easily/quickly. But, soon I am going to repaint my room and reorganize and get rid of all the junk that I haven't used in an eternity, and let my tell you that's a lot of stuff. Next Post when my room is clean I'll post pictures of what it looks like now and explain how I want to redo it. I would explain it now, but it's so much easier when you can actually see it. So, so far today I have written my medical science exam (didn't go as terrible as I though it would!), made a tuna sandwich, watched CSI while eating the tuna sandwich, watched Sam Tsui/Kurt Schneider videos on YouTube, and stalked facebook while singing very loudly to itunes. Sounds like a productive day to me. Oh, and I played Bomboozle 2 on the internet. I didn't do too well. I need to start working again. I can't wait to go back to work. March 12th people! oh I miss having money. When I start working again I have working out a plan of what I am going to invest it in. I would like a new TV for when I redo my room (they have gotten much cheaper) and a new camera so I can start taking more pictures. Don't get me wrong, I like my camera but I want a more hightech one like the one my dad has. Well not as fancy as his, because he has a very expensive one, but I do want one with more features. You get what I mean...right?

Oh by the way, I have my Semi Formal this Saturday, these are my shoes!

Now I know what it feels like to be average height...I'm only 5'2.5"

Well anyways, back to doing nothing. Ta ta for now.

A Fresh Start

I am terribly sorry for the lack of posts in the past well..month. I did actually have one in drafts all about my cake decorating class, and was just waiting for the pictures to add off my moms camera, but since I never got the pictures, the post is a no go. I will eventually post the pictures though. So, I finished the first class already and am on to the flowers and cake design class which is so much fun, but the class is huge! My last one was like 6 people, but this one is 13, I think, and it is a little cramped for space. But, the class is still informative and fun so we'll get through it. Last night we made gum paste flowers and they are so cute! I took the pictures with my phone, which doesn't have a terrible camera on it, so here you go! The gum paste is edible, but I haven't tried it yet. Apparently they don't taste amazing, they just have sugar in them and a bunch of chemicals (yummo) but I guess they taste bland. I don't really want to eat one just yet...

The button Flower

The Pansy

They are a little flat because they got squished but just imagine them all flower like.

This is the cake that I made for my final project in the last class that I got off my phone, I will post some better ones of this cake and the cupcakes and other cake that I made before this one. I need to work on my roses a little bit, but I'm getting there!

This week is exam week and I hate it! I had math on Friday, Religion Monday, and Biology today. Tomorrow is medical science, and I have no idea what to study for it. So, instead I am blogging, which is way more fun! While procrastinating I have also discovered photo editing. I've made all my pictures brighter and colourful using picnik.com. I know alot of people who already use it but I had never tried it out. Look at the results! These are some of the pictures I took while in New York City last April on a school trip. I can't wait to get them developed all nice.

BROADWAY! This is my favourite picture of all the ones that I took.

Flags outside of the Rockafeller Center. I apologize if I spelt that incorrectly.

Guy Canoodling on a pond in central park. Central Park was the prettiest thing I have ever seen! The coolest part was being able to watch movies with scenes from new york after and being like "I was standing right there!!!'

Great News! I might be going to see The Script in May!!! They are playing in Toronto at the Kool Haus, the only problem is that we were in need of a way there. My brother is probably going to take us and go with his girlfriend. I'll keep you updated!

Picture of me that I edited.

 So long! Once exams are over I will be able to do a lot more posts!
