What What!

I got my hair chopped off again. It looks really cool and I can do a bunch of things with it. Right now it's pushed back because I just washed my face. I have a stupid bloody nose and I hope it clears up before grad tomorrow. I still have to do my nails and get the jewelery that I'm going to wear, etc etc.

I just reorganized my VHS movies in alphabetical order and stuck all the soft covers in one place and all the hard covers in another place. Thus my room is a mess. I'm going to rearrange some of my knickknacks because I can't rearrange my furniture. Well, I'm actually working on rearranging my furniture. I just have so much of it it isn't really practical to move it around but this set up is beginning to drive me a little loopy...

I'mma go do stuff.....

Grad!

Well, I haven't been doing much with my time off. I've been watching a lot of room tours on youtube and I was going to do one but the batteries in my camera ran out--no word of a lie. I have batteries somewhere in my chest but I couldn't find them earlier today and it's too late to be rummaging about.
I'm graduating for the final time on Wednesday. I got a dress, gladiator sandals (yay!), and other stuff for the day. I'm kind of excited. I'm not a big fan of graduation ceremonies but I'm looking forward to seeing my OISE friends. I checked my grades today and I got a 4.0 with A's in all my classes. I'm glad because apparently the principal at Westside looks at grades first when he's considering who to hire.
I just felt like updating a little so there's not much to say. I may do a little experiment in description writing tomorrow and I'll post it if it's any good.
Ciao!

Ouch!

It's been ever so long. I forgot about this blog thing I had going. Just a quick update then.

I'm done school as in I'm not going back in September. I've got two degrees under my belt and now it's times to look for a job. There are a few job postings for LTO's at Westside which is where I would love to teach. It's just down the street from me and it's where I did my internship. It's a new building so it's really neat inside. The classrooms are huge and there are windows everywhere. It is such an open building. And it is a really great school in general. I'd have to set up a NSAP program and perhaps a debate club and student newspaper but I'd be willing to do that.

I've just been vegging out lately. I have to find a summer job really soon but it seems to keep getting postponed. i don't know what I want to do for the summer! I don't want to go back to Community Living Dufferin. I've had enough of them. When they get their act together I may consider doing part time work there but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

My weekends are spent at the trailer. We got a canoe so I've been paddling around the lake. Every Saturday we go to garage sales and I come back with tons of books and movies. I've run out of places to put them. I've already downgraded from a 3/4 bed to a twin but I still can't seem to find any room. My bookshelf is a mess; all the books are unorganized and crammed into every nook and cranny. I'm also running out of room for movies. (I collect VHS movies, if you didn't already know.) I'm beginning to think I have an addiction--at least it's not to drugs or alcohol.

There's tons more to say but I don't really like reading long blog entries so I'll cut it off here...

Here's a cool picture:

Couldn't go this many days without a note

GAH!

I don't really have anything to say. I've wasted all my efforts on that stupid reflection last night: What does Catholic Education mean to you? Well, considering how these Catholic courses have fueled my already present distaste with the church, not much, at least not any more. How can a church that claims that "the entire church as the People of God shares Jesus' prophetic, priestly, and royal ministry" not take any action when a Priest participates in the genocidal massacre of people. It just astounds me. But I've already learned that when you criticize people you get a very cold response. People just don't want to change. We should throw tradition out the window and adapt with our ever changing world just as Jesus did.

The Pirate Bay is on trial and things seem to be going pretty well. The witnesses for the prosecution have no idea what they are taking about and after one took the stand people in the audio-listening room next to the court room were heard bursting into laughter because of his ineptitude. Hopefully it will be enough to win! Follow the court case here: http://torrentfreak.com/

In other news, I'm pretty much done with Grad House on Saturday. I'm trucking (vanning?) all my stuff home. So on top of designing two units, I'll have to unpack and rearrange my room. I can't wait to be out of this place. They interfere far too much in the life of their residents. I don't want people in my room when I'm not there. We are all Grad students and have some aptitude. Why can't you just trust us to keep our space clean? I don't need you to clean my furniture, especially when I have tons of random but important papers on my desk. Bah! My Mom doesn't clean my room at home and I don't need someone to do it for me when I'm at school. Haven't you heard of privacy? I pay money for this space!

So, I'll be home for a month but I'll be pretty much unavailable because, as I said, I have to teach two courses and I don't know how much planning I'll be able to do ahead of time. I'm hoping I'll be able to do a lot so we'll see after this weekend.

I got a twitter. I've been resisting to get one for a while because I didn't really see the point but I caved and got one. I update a lot because my life is pathetic and you need to hear about it.

I'm falling asleep and I need to work on my Philosophy of Education. So I'm going to live this here.
