new stuff you don't care about

Ever since I got rid of my bunk beds (trust me it took a long time!) I haven't really been able to leave my room alone. I keep wanting to change it all around. I realized that's the kind of change I like, the change where I am in control, change that doesn't matter. For instance I have changed my room around three time this summer already, and now I'm going to paint it. The only trouble is I can't decide what colour. It's a green right now, and I really like green but I just don't like this particular shade slash I'm just sick of it after 8 years. I also just got a new duvet cover from IKEA so I have to take that into consideration, I was thinking of a blue, but I always think blue is overrated, and really is boring. Well enough about my stupid room, it's not like anyone cares about that but me.

I really wasn't excited about going back to school this year. Especially when I found out I had a "Timetable Conflict" because I thought I may have to drop a course that I didn't want to or I would have a crap messed up Timetable. So I made an appointment and went in to "Resolve the Conflict" and good news! Our school has a six day schedule but is made up of a two day rotation, so I happily found out that day one I have three classes in a row and then am done school for the day at 12:30 and day two I have four classes in a row and am done at 1:45! I couldn't believe it, I was so happy! So now I am slightly, not completely excited to go back but slightly, which is a lot better than not at all...right?

And finally, I went and got my hair cut. I have needed to for a while, even though it didn't really look like it, other than my "bangs" where a little long, the ends of my hair where dreadfully sick if not dead! So I got my self a little trim and some freshly cut bangs. I've always wanted to get front bangs, but have never really had the courage for some reason, so I've aliases just had side bangs, which were a little longer which made me feel better. But this time I ended up getting side bangs again but I kept making her cut them shorter and shorter, but they were still partially side bangs. Until when I got home I tried them out in the frontish and they fit, a little long so they're not completely in the front but just right. So this change also made me happier.

to change or not to change?

The tortures day of school have already begun. Yesterday I opened a letter telling me I had a timetable conflict, and had to call to book an appointment to fix it. The same thing happened last year, except last year I felt a lot different about it. It's weird to remember those feelings, especially when the same thing is happening to me a year later and I feel so different about it. Last year I was excited, a little scarred, worried and made Kim come with me because I didn't know my way around the school, or who I was supposed to talk to. This year I am frustrated that they are wasting me time, mad that they couldn't fix it themselves, which means I will probably have to drop a course like last year, and I am inconveniently stopping there by myself on the way to work. It's weird how much your life changes in only a year, I can never decide if I like change or not. Sometimes I think it’s exciting and sometime I just want things to say the same forever. Like if we were ever to move, yeah it would be exciting, I could choose my own room, instead of being placed in it when I was an infant and had no choice in the matter. I could decorate it so it didn't look like a 10 year olds room. I might have to go to a new school, I would get to meet new people, and we would get rid of so much junk I wouldn’t know what to do with it. It seems exciting, but I would get tired of it, it wouldn't be home, it wouldn't be comfortable, it wouldn’t be my stupid ten year old room, it wouldn't be our junk filled house, it wouldn't be my birth place... It wouldn't be 22 Chesham Cove. It would never really be home, no matter how long we lived there. Even thinking about it makes me a little sad. And yet excited. Some of my friends think it’s weird that I have never moved, I think it's weird that they have moved so many times and have adapted to it so quickly, making the house they are in their home.

Every time

It amazes me every time how much a pile shrinks when you fold it.

My Stupid Ear

As some of you know I recently got two more holes stabbed though my body. Since the earrings they were originally pierced with were a little small I changed them to a longer pair that I owned, and I guess I didn’t clean them well enough, or else the place that pierced them didn’t have me properly sterilized, because they did look like they were swelling to me before, in fact I changed them because they were getting tight. So the next day they were looking a little red... no problem that’s happened before, I must have just slept on them wrong or something. And then the next day my whole ear was so red and swollen I couldn't believe it, so I gave them both a good clean and I thought they would be fine, but long story short, they weren't. So I got Kim to clean them off, and she said it was only the one that was really bad and that I better take it out, and HOLY CRAP!! It hurt so much I almost fainted, so we cleaned them all off and everything and me being the smart person I am decided that maybe if I just put it in really loosely it would be fine and it would just heal up. So I went through the whole fainting thing again, and after that I decided I better just take it out, and now I’m really mad, because I didn't want to take it out. I still want to just find something that is really loose and put it in but I dint have anything that is loose and wont hurt to get in so now I don't know what to do, and I really want my earring back!

Tom and My Exciting Life

For those of you who still read my blog, and haven't been told by Kim already, yes Tom and I have decided to become "a couple." Just thought I would get that out there. But other than that there isn't anything really exciting happening in my life at this moment. I started work on Tuesday again, after a pretty good two week holiday. I think next week I will be starting my training at Extreme Pita in the evenings so I can work there during the school year since Mirlycourtois is too far away, and I would only be able to work Friday and Saturday nights there which would really suck. So besides all that which isn't even all that exciting there is nothing. I'll be starting school soon, but that's not even new and exciting this year. I guess I'll be off to finish watching Pirates of the Caribbean with Cor.

Mona

A girl from Hong-Kong is coming to stay with our family for the winter while she goes to school. She is a friend of Kim's, though I don't know how she met her, maybe she went to Prov or something, I'm not sure. I am pretty excited for her to come though because Kim had two friends from Hong-Kong from Prove last year and they came out to our cottage for thanksgiving weekend and I liked them, they were really funny and interesting. They thought us this awesome game called Kongi, it's kind of like jacks except you play with stones. Well anyway it's really cool. I hope she's nice and funny and stuff to, I've heard her on the answering phone. She seems nice. Oh by the way her name is Mona, I didn't just randomly choose to call by blog Mona for no reason. Just to let you know.

Birthday Road Trip!

My three sisters and my favourite brother-in-law went on a short road trip this past week to visit our Grandparents in Penticton BC. We left Winnipeg Saturday night and drove 26 hours straight though to Penticton, with a short birthday breakfast with our Aunt and Uncle in Calgary. Since it was only a four day visit we had to cram the day with fun exciting adventures. There were quite a few things we did so my three favourite were (1) Renting bikes and riding up the mountain along the old train tracks. (2) Mini-golfing (which I won by the way! woohoo!!) and (3) Going out for supper at a super cool place in Summerland which I completely forget the name of, but it was delicious. Then we left Friday morning at about 9:30 in order to make it to the IKEA in Calgary before it closed, and stopped there for about an hour and then drove straight thought the night back home. We got home around 1:30 or 2:00 and then Pam, Corrie and I went to see Over the Hedge at 3:30. So overall it was an awesome road trip and a great visit with my grandparents, and a wonderful Birthday!
