But first: boxes! I need to dig some up.

Ottawa was awesome. I saw Adrienne Clarkson, Alan and I went on a little tour of Parliament, and of COURSE we partied it up good for Will's 19th. ;)

Jamie and I got rained out on Friday. Pearl Lounge will have to wait again. =(

I wrote my exam for Comp. Sci. on Wednesday. I'm just glad it's done.

Joel Plaskett Emergency w/ Ally, Brandon, and company was very very fun! (Ally: qpn.com is taken, boourns!)

I'm done lifeguarding for this summer. There isn't a lot of time left, but a lot to do before I go back. Ugh. I want to be back at SHC, because then all of these things will be DONE and I'll get to see everyone again.

I haven't bought or packed anything for school, save one notebook and whatever I have in storage, thanks in part to being veeery busy and a little to procrastination.

This entry just isn't writing itself.

FIN.

8 August 2005

I am somewhere in the midst of my three weeks straight of work. As sleep deprived as I am, I haven't been happier in a long time. And happy is good because it means less meds and more fun.

On Friday morning, I got home at 4am after clubbing, way too many drinks (I lost count after 7), and a really stressful end to the evening of figuring out cab rides among other things. After washing the day (and night and some of the morning) off my face and throwing on jammies, I napped for about two hours to wake up at 6:30 for work with a nasty hangover (but hey, at least I wasn't still drunk). I started to stabilize after my bagel (seasame seed toasted with butter; I didn't get to it until about 10am), but the entire subway ride, I thought I was going to throw up/faint/die. It was one of those times when I swore off alcohol, but only until I got off the train. The rest of my day at work was fine; the adrenaline kicked in and I felt completely normal, except that time began to resemble molasses. Needless to say, I went to bed very early Friday night (how's before 9pm for early?!).

The remainder of the weekend was spent as a lifeguard by day and coding like a madwoman by night (and going to bed at 11, tee hee!). Today was superfun because I worked with Jamie, and it was just like last year except we were at a way sweeter pool and it was not nearly as busy as it usually would be. We ordered pizza for lunch, got some sun (still my favourite perk of the job!) and just had a blast.

Ottawa next weekend! I am so excited to see Will and Alan and whoever else is going. And to crack open my 26er of O'Casey's baybeee! It's the last of my LCBO strike prep stash. Let's hope I don't get to it before Thursday night. Don't alkoholik girl me. ;)

The weekend after that: Pearl Lounge (and wherever else) with Jamie, work, Joel Plaskett with Ally and Brandon, and work (again) with Jamie.

The weekend after that: CARNARVON!!!!! Cottage bash at Laura's with the Trinitrons.

Some time in the following week: move in. I <3 SHC.

3 August 2005

Between when I left Bracebridge and when I head off to Ottawa (for Will's birthday) in about 10 days, I would not have had a single day off, for which I am glad. I'm all booked up on weekends for shifts at pools (I worked the ENTIRE long weekend, and I'm working all of this coming weekend, AND I have a day job too!). This way I maximize the amount of time I'm making money and minimize the amount of time I have to spend money. Oddly enough, I am still spending way more than I'd like to. This is no good: I'm justifying it by the fact that I'm working like crazy and yet the point of working more should be to save more, not to spend more.

Tomorrow night is Vanessa's birthday and we are going clubbing to celebrate that. Woo-pah! Except I am so frigging exhausted it's not even funny. I almost fell asleep in lecture this evening and I felt bad because I was sitting at the front. It's not that the material is boring or that the prof is boring (cuz they're both not!) but it's just that I am SO TIRED between not having enough hours of sleep and having trouble falling asleep and staying asleep for the very few, precious hours I have to sleep. I'm really hoping for second year now: (tenatively) I have TUESDAYS and FRIDAYS off! How fabulous is that?! I doubt I'll actually end up sleeping any more than I do now, but at least I'd have the opportunity to. All I have to do this year is not squander my entire life away à la most of first year.

And the braces are gone! GONE GONE GONE! When they came off last Wednesday, I couldn't stop running my tongue along them because they feel so slimy, but in a good way. Too bad I have yet to have time to start training for my Hart House Symphonic Band audition in just over a month. =S
