so only one more FULL day of work before I leave. yipee!!! Then I have to wake up at 6, pack the rest of my shit. Drive to calgary, go to my uncles. Then he has to drive us lot to the airport and away we deport. Knowing me though, Ill probably forget my shakira tickets, or something stupd like that. Luckily though im bringing compy with me, he has the tickets saved, so that will be no problem.

I have run into a problem though, concerning my college. It doesnt have to do with any of the courses or anything. But when I go to apply for scholarships, it says that my SIN number doesnt match my name.... soooo basically ive been screwed over for the last month. I went in and talked to the lady today, but she said that she cant do anything about it because she doesnt know how. So... she has to wait till another guy comes back from holidays until she can fix it. Now.. problem is, the deadline is August 31st.. and Im getting back on the 28th and who knows when buddy is getting back. I think by the end of this week. So, the only reason im bringing compy with me ALL the way to ontario is because I need to fill out a stupid application. grr. O well.. I am going to be stuck in a cabin for a whole week doing absolutely nothing.

Besides that, I left work 2 hours early today because I was "sick"....ahhh

As for the rest of my weekend. I took it off because we were originally going to go white water rafting, that was back in march/april. Then since that wasn't going to happen, we were going to go just camping for the weekend, that didnt work out either. So either way I had the weekend off to just do NOTHING, it was fabulous. Friday Bryan was working. I had to wake up at aout 8 and go over to my grandmas to make pickles with my parents. My mom has a new job now, so she wasnt there, it was just me, my dad and my grandma. My mom works at dollar giant now.... dont ask me why, but youd think that after 8 years of being in a dollar store business you would be sick of it, not going back to work in one part time. She's quitting tomorrow though because they suck and are understaffed. So anyways, I smelled like garlic and pickles for the next couple days. Friday my dad took me and my sister around looking for laptops, it was fabulous. My "best friend" Ron helped me pick out this one... either than that it was good. He was being all chumy with my dad... it was kinda awkward and all, mainly because hes just plain creepy.

Saturday morning I took bryan in for his other blood test. The diagnostic clinic wouldnt do it though, so we had to go all the way to the hospital. And there we found his stepdad and later his mom and aunt and grandpa. His grandmas back in the hospital, but this time its for gall stones.
We got our haircuts together on saturday too, mine looks fabulous. But when she finished cutting it, she didnt dry it or put any product in it whatsoever. So basically when I got out to the parking lot, I looked like I had just been electrocuted. great! I had to run to shoppers after that and buy myself some hair stuff. Then we went to his grandmas house for a bbq. Trent was there and he told us all about his little adventure in australia, it was good information. He even said that he would give us his phone that he bought there, cause it doesnt work here at all. Saturday night we had a little party at bryans place, it was alright, all we really ended up doing was watching south park and movies, drinking and alan puking off the balcony..... and having that stink for the last couple days. Irish creme and pizza really doesnt go well together when its puked up and sitting by the walkway to your apartment.
Sunday I bought my baby :) It took a little while to get it organized and such, but I now even have reception in bryans house. yay!

Today, was a very good day, In fact, its been a very good weekend....kinda. Its only been a good weekend cause this morning I got my laptop!! Yes thats right, yours truly has jumped on the bandwagon and sailed away to get herself a laptop. My parents said they would buy me it, but this is how its going to go. I have to buy it, and then they will slowly pay me back, which im sure will happen very slowly, if at all. But who cares, I have a laptop. I also have some very good other news. I have $1500 in scholarships!! Plus right now, im going to try and find some more over the internet that I can fill out. More money for australia baby.
But for now, I bid thee farewell and I will give you more of an update on my weekend later.
Its my half birthday today too, happy 18 and a half to me

In niagara falls ontario......

I think I have the best boyfriend in the world. Yesterday I had to work from 6 to 10. As soon as I got into work I got the most horrible migraine in the world. I honestly thought I was going puke more than once. I couldnt just leave either last night because my boss gave me this whole talk the other day about how I always leave early and im always sick and if it happens a lot more than hes going to write me up. I was about ready to quit when he was giving me this talk, cause hes an asshole with horrible hair. Anyways, I wasnt going to leave. So I tried calling bryan but there was no answer for the five times I called him. So I left him a message asking him if he could bring me my migraine medication from my other purse in my room. 15 minutes later guess who shows up with my migraine pills, motrin AND a bottle of water. Then he hugged me and kissed my head in the middle of the store, and I was happy.

Yesterday before work me, my sister and my mom all went shopping and they both bought me something, mwhaha. My mom bought me the sexiest shirt in the world. Its like a poncho, but not really, its just really lose and flowy and black, its hot!
My sister also bought me a white shirt with a lacy bottom, goes excellent with my new jacket.

oooo I was watching tv this morning and I saw a marineland commercial and started jumping up and down..... Im a little excited needless to say. 14 days till I leave.

ahhhhh the moshitoooos

Oh, I almost forgot:
- You cannot have your hair pretty AT ALL due to the never ending wind
- You get about 100 mosquito bites a year, and im surprised people are still alive due to the fact that we have the highest rate of west nile virus in canada
- Sandflies that go up your nose and in your ears and bite you
- Bugs in general

Im sure theres more. But in the meantime, I updated my to do list for my life, Im making it so it will reach 100 soon.... probably by the end of today, cause I dont have a whole lot to do till 5:30.

Reasons why I hate this city:
- It never feels like summer
- There is no sense of fun anywhere
- There is no scenery other than yellow dead grass
- There is nothing to do
- There are too many cops
- Photo radar
- Everybody sucks, the people are not very friendly
- Too many goth/ emo kids
- There are no cool shops or places to hang out
- Its hickville, everybody is a redneck
- There isn't a good transportation system
- The local wildlife includes cows and the occasional deer
- Some days its waaaay to hot, with nothing to cool down with
- In the winter, your nose can freeze off, literally


- Its sucking my soul dry of any personality I once had because this city is so lame

sexy back

Being back is like I came back to NOTHING, its a death hole litterally its weird coming back and feeling like life is shortly going to end because your going to die of boredom or even prehaps being run over by a cow. Especially when you've just had an excellent week of pure vacation bliss where you were just free and full of fun! But now... Man.. I cant wait to do anything but stay here, im just itching to do ANYTHING.
We came monday night, the trip was good. My parents were a little koo koo towards the end of the journey, but hey, when are they not? I went to the beach twice in my holiday, once with ebbie and once with krystal.... I miss you already.
Wednesday me and krystal went to kelowna and went to the mall. I bought a shea butter bar at Lush, but when we got to calgary... it had melted all over the place and I was very sad because I had to throw it out along with the incense that I bought at the vernon mall.
I also got to see coral beach, it was special.
Friday I had to leave... it was a long drive to calgary, especially when the whole vehicle smelled like rotting fruit. We brought back 3 boxes of cherries, a flat of peaches, a flat of apricots and two ice cream pails full of raspberries.... lots of fruit.
Last night was the Phantom of the Opera. Pure genius I'd say. Bryan came along with us, I have pictures that I will post up later. But seriously, it was one good show. I think though, that I might have enjoyed it more if I hadnt of seen the movie, it just would have been more suspenseful that way. But the changing of each set so quickly was just amazing. I loved it.
Then today I had to come home..... and it was a long day, I dont really want to get into what happened today, tonight.

me and antibiotics arnt much of friends

For the past week or so Ive had to get up at 6 in the morning and drive bryan to work and pick him up because his friend jason who he car pools with now is sick and in the hospital. O yeah... bryan no longer has a car because his newest one doesnt run anymore either.... I think he should just be a bus person for the rest of his life with his luck, but hey. Anyways, so his friend is in the hospital with sinus strept some kind of ammonia thing which can kill you in a week if the infection spreads past your sinuses and into your brain. Needless to say, thats a little scary, especially cause its contagious and I saw him not to long ago and bryan works with him every day. Either way, I went to the doctors today because my allergies have been killing me for the past month and a half, and every single morning I wake up and my throat is on fire. So doctor said I had a sinus infection... ugh. So now I have to take antibiotics for the next month and nasonex twice a day. Hopefully it just makes my throat better cause I cant take it anymore. AND I hope I dont get some incredibly horrible reaction to it, much like last time (me and antibiotics arnt much of friends), cause let me tell you, that would just ruin my vacation!

where's the ho-down

Well Ive had quite the wonderful weekend. I think I was friday,I left bryans house early because I had to work at 6 the next morning. So im taking my usual route back home and some stupid loser rear ended me. Luckily no damage was caused and there was no scene or anything, but it was a but scary. So I drove back to bryans house and stayed there for an extra 2 hours and made him come for a walk with me to get a popsicle which took my mind of things. I know it wasnt my fault or anything, but I still havnt told my parents, I dont think im ever going to either. Knowing them they probably would let me drive again. They're being kinda psycho lately... its starting to annoy me. Bryan parents were also in town this weekend, so on saturday we bummed around his grandmas house for a while, and went out for lunch. Then we went to see pirates of the carribbean at night. I dont know if it was too much popcorn, lack of water, sitting too close to the screen or other things. But after the movies, I nearly puked, I was in the bathroom for a good 10 minutes trying to calm my nerves down. It was a bit strange.
Anyways, today was better, me and bryan went to the pool and had a wonderful afternoon.

do you come from a land down under

Alright, me and my darling have thought of a plan. A surefire way to make next year rock, we're going to live and work in australia!! I figure its just like one extra year of college, I wont get a job as a travel agent unless I travel lots and so far I've only been to mexico, o yeah and disneyland when I was 8, but im sure that wont count. So, im taking a year off, and working yet still traveling, its brilliant.
I have everything already planned, I have to apply for working holiday visas, and get things sorted out with a couple more things. All I need now is to make $7000 between now and May and Ill be good to go. Im excited.

Besides that, I have made some drastic no spending rules OH and Im having a fundraising bake sale next weekend!!! My mom is having a garage sale, so... im selling my old stuff AND baked goods!
