if the world is a stage then life is a blank canvas

I hate the winter, but school is going great! I have started getting very interested in photography. I have started saving up for a new camera. I am considering switching my major to photography.

Orientation startas on Tuesday! I can't wait! I have had the whole week off and have been preparing for school, although it's more of a mental preperation then anything else. I hope I don't feel too old compared to all the people right from highschool. I can't remember being this excited about anything in a while. I am hoping this really is everything I am hoping it will be.

Current Mood: excited

The summer is going by way to quickly. I am already starting to prepare for school (anything to make me forget about my mind numbing job). I haven't gone out as much as I would have liked since I have moved into town but I am having a nice time hanging out with some co-workers. (It's the saving grace of the job, nice co-workers). The film festival is coming up so I think I will partake in some of those festivities. I heard something about a Chinese lantern festival which sounds interesting. I told my parents about it since they were over in Asia a few years ago. Maybe I will end up going with them, which wouldn't be too bad. The further I live from them the more I enjoy spending time with them. It's a very logical equation.

Current Mood: complacent

I love my a/c. I wish I could say the same for my job. It's not that bad but kind of boring. There is this one women in the office I can't stand. She has to treat everyone else like crap (especially me) to make herself feel good. I just avoid her. I can't wait for school to start (never in a million years did I think I would be saying that!). I am in love with the new drinks at Starbucks. Banana and coconut. Such a wonderfull combo!

Current Mood: chipper

Thank god the heat wave has ended. I am going shopping for airconditioning this weekend. Those 3 days were hell (literally, i imagine thats how hot hell would be). I found myself a job and I start Monday. I am thrilled I am not back to retail hell (yet). Its a temp position at an office for the summer. filing, coffee and other mindless tasks, but hey, it will pay for school! I will probably have to find a retail job when Sept. hits for some funds. I think I may head out this weekend to celebrate, I hear that this place called Neutral is pretty cool so I think I may give it a try tonight.

I finally have the internet up and working at home! I am all unpacked and the place is feeling a little more like home. The first few mornings I woke up a little disoriented. unpacking was a job and a half, I swear I didn't have this much stuff when I packed up my old place. I want to get out this week and get some paint, give this place a little more life. white walls are so boring. I also have to spend some time pounding the pavement, as much as I dread a job search I will need to get one eventually. My parents offered to cover my living expenses and school but I like contributing as much as possible. I couldnit make it home last weekend so I told my mom we would have a mothers day celebration next weekend.

Current Mood: happy

I am now living in a forest of boxes! I am all packed except for my bed and some clothes. Time really does fly when you have tons to do. Look out Toronto, I am almost there!

Current Mood: accomplished

My friend Chris came by and surprised me with some Easter chocolate. I am going to miss him when I move. I have been trying to persude him to get out of this city too, I think it may be working as he has started to complain a little more about this place!

Going to my parents tonight for the family dinner. I think my mom is making a huge ham which means I will get to take home leftovers! I love leftover ham, I will have sandwhichs for weeks!

Happy Easter everyone!

The packing has begun! I have been collecting boxes for the last few weeks and I started to pack up my books last night. I have been itching to get out of Oshawa for ages. I am so excited to finally be getting out of here! It may seem a little early to start packing but my hours at work are pretty crazy and I want to be as organized as possible to make unpacking easier. I will be giving my 2 weeks notice today at work. I am so excited!

Current Mood: excited

Bored. Bored. Bored.

I have creative block and I have very little energy. Going to visit my parents tonight and am actually looking forward to it. This means I am bored!

Current Mood: bored

I dont't think May 1st will come fast enough. I have started gathering boxes for the move. I almost want to start packing now. I just can't wait to get out of this city! My weekend was wasted at work. I hate retail. I never want to work retail again after this. I have next Saturday off so I am determined to do something fun.

School is still a while away but I have the feeling Sept 7th will be here before I know it! (I have even started picking my courses out in my head). I move into the city May 1st. My new apartment is up by Yonge and Eglington. I wanted to be closer to downtown but this place was in my price range and nice. Such big windows, thats what i knew I would miss about my current place. Its on the subway line so I dont mind. I need to find a job before then and maybe look into taking some summer courses. An old high school friend lives around my area so maybe I will try to get in contact with her. I need to start making some friends so I am not too bored.

Current Mood: excited

I found an apartment! It's perfect! Soon I will be living in Toronto. I will be so happy to get out of this city! I should get myself a digital camera so I can post pictures of the perfection that is my new home!

Current Mood: excited

My weekend plans were dashed by the weather. I didnt want to go into Toronto with all the storm warnings. Pounding the pavement looking for a place to live would have sucked in the rain. Maybe I will go during the week on a day off. I thought the goundhog said spring was here. Stupid groundhog.

Current Mood: disappointed

I found a place. Its perfect. Its also out of my price range. All of the places I see that are in my price range have roomates. I don't want to live with anyone. I have done that before and hated it. I guess I will keep searching. I think I may head to Toronto Saturday and do a search on foot. Maybe go out Saturday night. I haven't been out in ages, but I don't know where to go. I dont know about Savage Garden. Whenever I go there I feel that people are looking down on me or judging me. Maybe its just my paranoia. I haven't been to Fun Haus in a while, maybe I should see whats going on there.

Current Mood: disappointed

I have neglected you livejournal of mine. This is probably because I have almost no friends listed and have a boring life. This will all change shortly I think!

I have decided to return to school. OCAD here i come! I will be starting some summer courses in order to ease my way back into the life of a student. I will hopefully be moving into the city around March. I am really very excited about this. I need a change. If I stay here any longer I will become complacent and do nothing with my life. I dont want to turn into one of those people. I dont want to look back one day and realize i didnt take advantage of my talent and opportunities.

Current Mood: excited

The cycle continues
I fell for it again. You would think I would learn.

Cryptic messages, isn't that what livejournal is all about?

Current Mood: sad

My air conditioner broke! I turned it off last night and it wouldnt turn on this morning! I think I am going to have to resort to being a mall rat today. Perhaps I will head into Toronto and go cafe hoping. Maybe buy a new book and sit in the nice air conditioned environment and sip iced coffees all day. I think thats the plan. I cant stay and bake in my apartment,

Current Mood: hot

What happened to the nice weather? Mother Nature is being very confusing lately! I think this summer I will spend some time up at my parents cottage. Perhaps get a good group together for a weekend, if Mother Nature starts playing fair!

Current Mood: okay

I LOVE this weather. It really brightens my spirit. That could also be because of Chris, a new. Friend, I guess you could call him. We havent defined our relationship. Its funny because I used to very controlling about that. I needed definitions for everything. I am amazed at how happy I am just "being" right now. There is a sense of freedom attached to it. I guess I need that freedom right now.
