Sleepless Nights

Yawn! (Okay this is pathetic)

I’ve been going to bed past midnight for two days straight, and I’m not talking about 12:01, more like 2 and 3 a.m. Clearly it was just to late to write down a post…since last time I tried to write something while I was half awake it turned out very confusing (I was typing a text a friend on my BlackBerry at 3 in the morning and it was something like H gfd jmkjigfd prete…ya I know…weird). So now I look super tired and I have a ton of homework to do…but on the bright side there’s like literally a week of school left…well maybe to, but it’s coming to an end very soon!

Friday was actually a peaceful day at school, we barely did any work it was amazing. We watched the movie of the book we’re presently reading (oops…I kind of haven’t started yet and it’s due for Monday) which is Animal Farm. And I thought the beginning of the book was weird, the movie is 10 times worst! You actually see the animals get slaughter…it’s just disgusting. It was similarly the same thing is History class, we watched two film on the period after the Cold War which is called the Baby Boom, Peace and Love…which could be translated into Peace, Drugs, Sex…Finally in French class we were called to the auditorium to listen to the speeches of the aspiring members of the student counsel for next year. In the end I only had one full period of learning…if I even learned something.

After school I stayed in Ottawa (actually I went to Em’s house) since we had a show to attend at 7. It was called Honk and it’s basically the story of the Ugly Duckling that turns into a swan. It was very good, although we got there late so we were stuck in the back row. Let’s just say that the seats weren’t the most comfortable, we actually needed to sit on the back metal bar to see something, and even then it was pointless. When I left Em’s house after the show it was 11 I think…I got home at about 1 and probably fell asleep at 2…this is so no healthy…hell, I’m a teenager! We were engineered to eat fast food and drink soda…although I don’t…
When I woke up Saturday I was sad to see that the sky was covered in clouds…no sun at all. Em’s mom, grandpa, grandma, and dog were coming over (as well as her…obviously) so I was stressing out intensely. But it went well, she got here an hour late but it was fine. I actually brought her to Bourget…which is the town in which I went to primary school. It’s a puny town; we were walking on the side walk and a van pulled over next to us, (I was sure I was going to get kidnapped) the guy driving asked us for directions…I as a person don’t quite know how to get around, so I basically nodded at everything he said until he went away…how kind of me. When we got home that night from our trip to Bourget I really wanted to show her the starry country night sky, but the sky was hazy…unfortunately we couldn’t see any. I think we left my house at 11 to go drop her off at her house and we got back home at 1:30…I hadn’t done any homework yet…

Finally it’s Sunday, last day of the week end but good news, it marks the end of another week of seven days which contain five days of school. When I woke up at 9 (it’s a record, I’m usually always up at 7) I went downstairs and I didn’t feel like doing any homework so I popped a DVD in the DVD Player…drum roll…I watched Twilight. My father bought it when it came out in stores, people were saying how nasty it was (I personally haven’t read the books I was pretty much informed of the plot by a classmate in writing class…she’s a fan…) so I pretty much neglected it. But today I took the initiative to watch it and I must say it was actually very good. I mean sure it lacks on some points (opening scene, pathetic dialogue in biology class, and they killed the part where the freaky dude goes “You brought a snack” (hey I opened a double parentheses (now it’s triple…okay I need to stop…I’m opening another one…I wont state it (go watch Twilight Trailer Spoof on Youtube it’s seriously a very good parody of the original Twilight Trailer)))) Where was I? Right, Twilight, it was good…I really liked it and I’m looking forward to the next instalment. When the clock went past noon I seriously had to get in gear and start reading my novel since it’s due for tomorrow. I’m so proud of myself; I read the whole book in like 3 hours! It’s horrible by the way, don’t read it. Oh ya, meteorogicaly speaking today was the weirdest day ever. It was hailing hardcore, like huge pellets, and then SUPER SUNNY…although it’s freezing. I can’t believe it; tomorrow’s the first of June and its 10 degrees outside.

Shadow in a Ditch

For you i'd do anything, like take this picture

Anyways, I’m going to get ready for bed soon, tomorrow is yet another day. You might have noticed that I subtracted my logo from my pictures, it’s because it got annoying and I thought it was destroying my pictures so I opted for something simpler. I hope you enjoy, take care, bye.

Peace and Love

FLOWER POWER!

I want to take pictures! I can’t stand it anymore! Summer is here, it’s the perfect time but I just don’t have the time…or so I think. This semester is finally coming to an end…and I simply can’t wait. I have the worst class presently it’s unimaginable. Although I’m very happy that I’m getting my writing class back next year for two semesters, like it’s my life and taking it away from me is similar to putting my life support to OFF.

Wednesday was the first day of rain in a long time; it was actually pleasant…although it didn’t bring much good news. I was to receive my math test on Wednesday and the whole atmosphere didn’t give me much hope. But I guess you simply can’t rely on the whole “pathetic fallacy” notion of environment (the context in which the global environment affects the mood and actions of the character…I know…too much of English class). Anyways, what I meant by that is that nature fooled me since I got an A+ on my test!!! I couldn’t believe it, last year I was practically failing that class (well I can’t blame myself since my teacher was an incompetent ***). When I went out for lunch I just couldn’t believe how cold it was, it’s impossible. They talk about global warming all the time but I don’t see this phenomenon out here in Canada, I feel so excluded from the world. If summer is going to be like this I’m sure to stay inside until school starts in September…that’s sad. When I got home I so wanted to go take a few shots outside but my brother just doesn’t want to be my photographer. I mean he finds the whole taking pictures of yourself as a joke; I tend to think it’s a way to express yourself. Either way, when I went to bed that night I took out my BlackBerry and I signed on to MSN (it’s so cool, I just found out that I can actually use the service like 2 months later) and I found my friend online. I haven’t seen nor talked to her in SO long so I jumped on the opportunity. She showed me a few of her display pictures and I was simply amazed. We talked a bit and we figured that we would get together sometime to do a photoshoot (the sad thing is that she live a minute from each other but I still don’t get to see her, maybe I have to much stuff to do). The picture up there is like a leftover from my photoshoot back in april with my cousin...so it isn't new

Here’s a preview of her, it’s completely stunning and amazing, and she’s so beautiful!

And today we were Thursday! Last night I went to bed at almost midnight so I was very tired at school. Lately I have lost my motivation, like I don’t even straighten my hair in the morning anymore…that’s a bad sign…So ya, I was so tired that I actually fell asleep in my history class. I never fell asleep in class before and it was so new, I felt like such a bad boy. But on the other side it was okay since time flew by and I escaped the horrendous smell of like “I don’t know what kind of drug” the guy sitting next to me is smoking but it makes me nauseous. Sadly today was another rainy day, as well as cold. We were held up inside, but some 12th graders came into our math class to make an announcement that putted sun into our day. They were announcing that we were going to have activities on Monday next week including this station where students may purchase wax strips to fund the prom. This wax would then be applied to male teachers legs…you get the picture…WERE WAXING OUR TEACHERS LEGS AT SCHOOL! How awesome is that! This is enough for tonight, I really feel like going to bed now…

P.S.: Tomorrow is Election Day at our school! We’re missing classes! HOURRAY!

Bonjour!

I'm writing my first post at school...well first post as in NOT the first post on the blog but the first post published at school...from a school computer...you get it, right? This is very hard, tryingto actually write something while people are walking behind you, even worst the library guy (I don't remember how to call him) is constantly checking around to make sure everybody is "working". I'm kind of worried I'll get kicked out anyime soon...ah well, I'm not doing anything productive so who gives. Although I have to do some research on this mathematician for a interdisciplinary project which involves a mix of math and english, worst mix ever! It's like taking baking soda and adding vinigar...which creates an explosion...not fun. I just can't wait to get out of school...SUMMER! And now there's a girl sitting next to me who is looking at pictures of built men in speedo...hum...puzzeling...disturbing...Anyways I should really get started on my project, I'll post some more tonight.

Excessive Absence

HELLOO!!

I’m back! I’m so sorry for the long wait; I just can’t find the time! I know, excuses, excuses, excuses, but school is over in less than a month and then I’ll be able to post EVERY single day! In the mean time I’ll be doing intense homework for my final exams.

I sat down tonight at the kitchen counter, I took out a sheet of paper and I started writing what happened during the previous days. It’s so hard, I barely remember stuff. Sometimes I can recall exciting stuff and other times it’s like some random impertinent information that is better left unsaid. And as proof I can’t remember a single thing that happened on last Thursday, if I could associate a name to that day I would probably say that it was the day after our War Museum field trip. WAIT! I just remembered something! Thursday night I actually did something, I went walking in this very wealthy neighbourhood just for fun to give me a retrospect of modern high society architecture, and there wasn’t much to see. Too many trees, houses surrounded by massive stone gates, everything was deserted…but I had fun! Although I forgot to bring my camera with me (I could have had relied on my BlackBerry, the camera is good but not up to par.

Submerge yourself into silence and tranquility

But on Friday we had two tests, one for which I was freaking out and the other one for which I had barely studied. I think that I did the smartest move of my life that morning, I actually walked to my math teacher’s class to ask a couple of questions (a couple in my vocabulary actually means a lot) concerning the subject we were studying presently since we had a test coming up during the second period (for which I was obviously not ready). In the end it actually went well, I understood the test (thank god I went to see my teacher or else I would have had failed) which represented one less stress factor on my conscious. But the sad part is that I had a history test right after that, a test which I hadn’t studied for. I was doomed! I tried talking my teacher out of it but he didn’t intend on letting me do it next week (I had just missed 5 days of school because of University and he thinks I’m going to do a test that I don’t even understand). I tried giving my point but it was effortless, I did it quickly but I presume I had mostly right answers.

Another weekend, I love weekends! They’re so fabulous! I get to do what ever I want, like my blog…but I still don’t have the time? Sometimes I just wonder what happens to my spare time, it like simply flies by unnoticeably. Saturday I woke up to my father all excited telling me that we’re going to buy a new car…I was like “ARE YOU CRAZY!? WE ALREADY HAVE 4!!” My mom reacted the same way, she was against the whole idea and she freaked out when my father told her that he had made an appointment with the dealer and that we were going to get a showing of the car and drive test, etc. Although I was somewhat against the whole trip at first I saw the opportunity to go to Em’s house. So I begged my mom to go…and we went…although she refused to drive me to Em’s house. So I was stuck in a car dealership for almost 3 hours...the time during which I could have had been at Em’s. Afterwards we headed to the mall where my parents bought my brother his first skateboard, those things are SO expensive! Like 200$ for a rolling piece of wood…that’s sad…although some might argue, I’m not that into skateboarding. But the happy part is that my dad went to buy some stuff at American Eagle where my mom randomly started talking with the manager and got me a employee form thing that I need to fill in to hand in so I cant MAYBE get a job!

Sunday, I went to church…joke, I hate that friken place. I’ve been scarred with catholic school and I told myself NEVER AGAIN! Anyways that’s not my point, on Monday Em finally came to my little piece of country paradise that I call HOME. It was a very enjoyable day, we looked through some very interesting and humiliating photo album of my baby life…mom why did you need to take random pictures of me in the bath?! When the day was coming to an end we decided to go take a walk on my road, bad idea. There were SO MANY mosquitoes I thought I was going to be eaten alive! Lots of chit chat and soon came the time to bring her back to her house…time flew by. When we drove onto her street she saw that her aunt was at her house, so she told me to come meet her. I couldn’t refuse. When we got inside I was introduced, we talked and then her aunt started asking me questions on my family. My grandma was in the car so I told her that my grandma knew way more than me and that it would be more appropriate to have information from her. So Em’s family headed outside and started talking with my mom and grandma. Suddenly I hear my grandma and Em’s aunt scream, I turn back and they are both holding each other by the waist saying “We’re family!” I was shocked…I looked at Em and I was like “This can’t be happening…she couldn’t be a distant cousin”. After a few minutes of freak out we were explained that we weren’t blood relatives, THANK GOD! (I hate God).

Anyways this post is getting longer and longer, how about I shortly resume Monday and today. I’m still anxiously waiting for my math test results, we should get them tomorrow, and in French we’re presently writing short stories. My teacher asked us to write an introduction to a story on a piece of paper to later on hand it in to her. These papers would then be randomly be redistributed in class to new students that would need to continue the story. My introduction as actually inspiring that when I got home I wrote a story of my own…I would post it up on my blog but it’s in French. Anyways I have to go.

It's Been Ages

OMG!

Ahhh! This seems all so new to me, blank page, and so many ideas yet so little time. School is getting crazy recently, there’s no stop, and it’s like intense work. On top of that we have the exams coming soon so I’ll have to study hardcore. I’m trying so hard to find time for my blog but it’s almost impossible, and when I do I’m so late in the chain of event that I simply forget…I’m so bad at this. No time to lose, if I remember well my last post dates back to Wednesday of last week (I haven’t posted in a full week!).

My Bleeding Heart

-

Here's to another broken heart to fix...

-
Okay, Thursday…what happened on that completely normal school day…right, we started our in class essay on Romeo and Juliet. I’m not an organized person so when the teacher told us we could have access to our notes during our test I was like @!/$, I probably don’t have those papers. As a matter of fact I couldn’t find them; they were nowhere to be seen. I couldn’t remember anything…a thesis, what’s a thesis?!?!? Then we had to do an outline, a properly formatted essay outline. Everybody had a sheet to rely on, everybody except me! I was really starting to stress…hopefully the teacher told us that we could bring the essay home to complete it and hand it in Tuesday (since Monday we didn’t have school, it was Victoria Day).

Ehh…Friday? Oh ya! Friday was such a FUN day, like we barely had classes since it was the day against homophobia in our school. We had these very interesting and entertaining as well as enriching speeches by people with different sexual inclinations, one of them being Jermey Diaz (I don’t know if you’ve heard of him before but he is this extraordinary guy who is amazingly funny). The students were so implicated in the activities, it was just fabulous. I never saw so many teenagers fighting for the same cause, regardless of their sexual inclination.

See your ambiguous reflection

And of course after Friday comes Saturday, the moment of truth because I was to attend my grand-parents 50th anniversary with Emilie…where she was going to meet ALL of my family, 80 men and women. I was seriously stressing out, so much that when I got to her house I barely had any saliva left in m mouth (I know, it sounds very disgusting and stupid but its reality). Oh ya, and to add to that I was going to meet her grandparents that were driving in from Tilsonburgh, a little town near London, Ontario. She kept on going on how her grandfather was going to quiz me about many things to see if I was worthy enough for his granddaughter…yikes! From then on it went really well, we went to mass (I HATE THE FRIKEN CHURCH!!! I’m not religious and it disgusts me so much, like my parents were starting to get really impatient over the pastor who couldn’t pronounce a single word in French and I was very nervous since all of my relatives were looking at Emilie as if she was an alien). We then went to the restaurant, ate (of course) and back to her house I went to drop her off. I wanted to kill my dad when he told me that he would let me there for 10 minutes while he went to get himself a cup of coffee (her grandparents were there). But it was faith, and I couldn’t run away. Surprisingly I didn’t jam in my answers and spoke in complete sentences…at least I think. By the time I got home it was really late and my aunt who came down from Seattle, USA, was staying at my house overnight.

Sunday! I mean OH NO IT’S SUNDAY! I hate Sundays...usually they announce the end of the week-end but since it was Victoria Day on Monday we had no school…so it was basically another day off. We sat down for breakfast and my aunt gave me a card wishing me happy birthday (I was like WHAT!? My birthday is only in a month). She insisted on me opening it and I did, but to my surprise there was nothing inside of the card (usually she puts cash inside but there was nothing…0) So I look at her and she takes a plane ticket from under the table and says “This summer you’re coming with me to Seattle!” I was so HAPPY!! Finally! I’ve been waiting for this for so long! And the best part is that I’m getting y drivers license 2 days before I leave so when I land I Vancouver I get to drive all the way to Seattle! FUN FUN FUN! Anyways that’s my principal highlight for Sunday.

If only everything was this welcoming

Monday was pretty much spent at Em’s house where we were “working” on our French Presentation/Project, which is never ending. When our team-mate left one hour later Em and I decided to get all of the garden stuff out of her backyard shed. It was really fun, the stuff was really heavy but it was quite enjoyable after all. Afterwards we proceeded to go watch a movie downstairs “Hitch” but I grew tired at about 1 hour 30 minutes into the film so we decided to go for a walk instead.

Tuesday (So many days with absent posts, this one won’t be long) I forgot to hand in my essay since I had like a ton of questions regarding the format of it. I finally won my point and got the permission to hand it in later. In the afternoon we presented our French Project (FINALLY!!) which was much appreciated by all.

Finally Wednesday, no school! We had a field trip to the War Museum and it was quite enjoyable, tiring but fun. We walked for what seemed like forever. And now I’m back home, finishing up this post to proudly say that I’m UP TO DATE! Going to finish my **** load of homework, bye bye.

L"EMO"N

I feel emo!

Okay, before people start screaming out that I cut myself I’ll explain the choice of this post’s title and subtitle. You know how we filmed our scene yesterday; well the criteria for admission in the scene were that you needed to wear dark or neutral colors (black, gray, white). Well let’s just say that when you find yourself in a see of “darkness” it isn’t very morally helpful. Oh, and I chose to do a thing with “lemon” because I own a very bright yellow hoody that I wear to be easily recognized and that hoody is the complete opposite of black and grey clothing…anyways…random I know…

Harvest Nature

Sometimes the randomest picture makes the most beautiful masterpiece...

The worst part is that yesterday after school we filmed our French project and I was wearing my black clothes…we didn’t finish the project so we said that we needed to shoot again the next day, being today. I needed to wear the exact same clothes for a second day, now that’s harsh. I was walking in the hallways (before everybody starts thinking stuff I just want to mention that I got to school wearing different clothes and that I washed the black shirt before putting it back on) and everybody was looking at me like “is he crazy, the film was yesterday!?” But I don’t mind…I got changed a few minutes afterward (funny thing is that I was wearing a bright shirt…huge difference).

Summer is almost here…leaves are out…and so are the bugs! It’s killing me! I can’t stand it anymore; I just want to run away from this never ending forest. School is also sickening me, tests, projects, exams…it’s all coming to quickly I just can’t analyse everything.

I was SO happy to leave school today, although my parents couldn’t pick me up since they were gone shopping; I instead needed to carpool with my friend, his mom and his sister. We were five in a five seat car, I was like against the window and couldn’t move...and my friend’s sister is like always giving me random hugs…very weird…and creepy…and unnecessary…

Seconds to 9

Time is flying by...and we can't wait for the future...

Anyways, I wrote enough for today, I miss writing a post every night and not needing to worry about my school stuff…it’s seriously killing me, ah well…summer vacations are almost here…there’s plenty of time. Oh and P.S.: This blog is so helping me out, like I’m taking pictures that are accumulating into my own personal portfolio, the posts are adding up and can one day make a personal reference to my teenage/young adult life, and best of all it’s really enhancing my English communication capabilities…and by the way ALL of the pictures in this blog are edited by me and took by me (except a few that are taken by family members in my presence).

Super Star

Lights, Camera, Action!

Awesome day! It’s Tuesday and we had no school, how sick is that? Well technically we had school but we didn’t have school as in classes. Anyways, my point being that I didn’t have to worry about homework, tests or projects for one whole day, fantastic!
-

Everlong

-

I've been waiting for this moment for years...

-
Did I even say why we missed school? Maybe not…I think I forgot to talk about it in my last post. Take the long story and make it short, some 500 students were chosen to take part in the filming of a short film named “La nuit du silence”. Our role was to walk in straight lines behind the main character who had been raped by a man. In the scene the main character walks 20 steps with us behind her, takes a pause (we stop moving) and dashes towards the man who is kneeling on the ground. In the very end she stabs him.

Silver Lining

-

Something is bound to happen between you and I

-
It was a different experience compared to everyday life. We did the same steps over and over again, the context was get up, stand still, stop, go, stop, rewind, do it all over again, and again, and again. It was so intense that we didn’t even have the time to eat. The school staff made us all stand up and stand in a line in the auditorium where one by one we were given a slice of pizza…which tasted horrible! They then made us leave the auditorium by a side door, make us walk in a hallway, turn, walk another hallway and back in the auditorium. By that time we needed to be done with lunch and ready to restart shooting, so tiring.
-

One Thing

-

Sorry, I needed to limit myslef to only one...

-
We finished shooting early; we came back in class just in time for the last period. My French project is seriously starting to get under my skin; it’s been going on forever (the project with the play “Les Femmes Savantes”). I just feel like giving up but I guess I can’t…or else I’ll fail…

Anyways…I’m shipping my body off to bed now…can’t wait for another day at school…(not) see ya.

Blocked

Sorry for the inconvenience…

They’re blocking all the hallways! HELP!

Take away my heart but dare to touch my soul

Hello, I figured that I wish to start my blog differently today…instead of saying “Today was Monday…another fine day…”. I hope it worked…crossed my fingers. As I was saying, let me explain the whole blocked thing. They’re filming these scenes for a short film in our school and they needed some space so they like blocked certain ESSENTIAL hallways to prevent random people in very expensive shots. I know it’s common sense…time is money blah blah blah, but like people were seriously freaking out. Our school has 4 floors, one girl wants to go on the second floor but it’s blocked so she starts panicking and goes out of control until one “kind” soul comes and “delivers” her from her anxiety and sorrow by telling her that she can go up the stairs, walk down a hallway, go back down the stairs and TADAM you’re in an accessible hallway. How stupid can people be, seriously!?

Midnight Purge

The gloomy atmosphere surrounds us...

Anyways, I don’t have much to write on this post, I have like a load of work to do for this week and I really need to get started before it’s too late. It’s so weird coming back to school after you’ve been away for a week, I feel as if I’m so far behind everybody else, at least University was worth it…I think. Anyways, I need to get to work…shortest post in a long time…but on the other hand I’m not that bad because I’ve been browsing on other peoples blogs and I found out that I write WAY to much…ah well, who gives. Really need to go now…talk to you guys later!

M-Day

Happy Mothers Day!

Happy M-Day! I tried to find an alternative to Mothers Day and I found this, not that bad, it’s like Christmas that becomes X-Mas…although X-Mas is way cooler than M-Day. Anyways, let’s not go down that road because I can talk about Christmas for a long time. I wish a very happy Mothers Day to the all of the fantastic moms in the world, because they really have the most demanding job in the world. I hope you all gave them a little break of daily craziness on this fabulous Sunday; they really deserve it, although mine was hard at work doing some cooking for our guests.

Heartbreak Tragedy

I want to fix your acking heart...

-
Enough chit-chat about our mothers and let’s talk about ME! (So selfish on my behalf yet so true…this is my blog…) To start off my day I’m awaken by my father at 9 a.m. who tells me that it’s very cold outside, don’t know why but he said that. I got up like usually, still in my “pj’s” at 10, hair all messed up…looking really horrible...until my mother comes to me (I didn’t forget to wish her a happy Mother’s Day, I’m so proud of myself) and says that our guests, my grandma and grandpa from my dad’s side as well as my grandma from my mom’s side, were coming over for lunch. Nice time to break the news…they’re coming over in like an hour and I have like nothing done (oh and by the way I have all my hair back on my head…I mean I didn’t lose them but I simply cut them to short last time…so now they are at desired length and I can do them the way I like them). Miraculously I was finishing straightening my hair when my grandma and grandpa stepped in the house, I was very efficient.

STOP!

In the name of love!

I didn’t really feel like sitting there and listening to adult talk for hours and hours, so I decided to head outside, take a few pictures and head back inside to edit them. At first I only took snapshots of nature but after a while I got bored and I started to take random pics of myself…and I actually found a good one! It’s the one named “Heartbreak Tragedy”, I find it actually up to par with my pictures from the photo shoot back when my cousins came here. My hands started to get cold after 15 minutes and I had difficulty pressing the capture button so I headed inside. I pretty much took 4 hours of my life after that to update my blog since I hadn’t written something since like last Monday. I’m really starting to think I have the case of blog bipolarity; some days I’m all pumped to write an excellent post while other days I simply skip out on it…don’t know why. It usually happens when I don’t have pictures to post daily…I sort of get depressed and feel like giving everything up…but I won’t!

Finally it’s almost 10 p.m. and I’m not done with my stupid French project that I need to hand in tomorrow, it’s such a pain right now. I don’t get half of the questions and I can’t seem to concentrate…I just have a few more answers to type in and I’m done. I’m closing up this post for tonight, I’ll be able to sleep less stressed out tonight knowing that my blog is up to date, see ya.

P.S.: I’m sorry if lately all the pictures are like florally orientated it’s just that all of the leaves are out and it’s truly beautiful…

Emi&Me

Saturday!

It was such a wonderful day today, rainy but wonderful.

First of all I woke up this morning and turns out that I fell asleep while waiting for Em to call me on my phone…so I woke up at 2 in the morning to find that I had eight unread messages on my phones inbox…my bad.

Anyways I made it up because I was going to her house at 10:30 to work on our French project (I hate that project) and then help her and her mom get some stuff out of their backyard shed. Either way it rained so we couldn’t do much. The French project is hell, I missed school for a week and I feel as if I’m falling back rapidly and I can’t catch up. Even worse, our teachers are like giving us extra work with the final exams coming…I can’t believe 10th grade is already coming to an end…next thing you know you’re dead…let’s not think of that.

Our other team-mate left and we had time for ourselves, so we decided to watch a movie, Marley&Me (where the inspiration for this post’s title comes from). It was a good movie, I mean…for the little scenes I saw. It was sad...I recommend the movie to everybody…it might not be epic but it’s a must. I left at 7 pm; it was a really fun day.

Call It Quits

It’s not a drug addiction

It’s been a while, crazy week at the University of Ottawa is finally over, I finally have a bit of time to write my blog in between a major amount of homework, projects, and tests. I must say that I forgot most of Wednesday’s, Thursday’s, and Friday’s events since the week went by really quickly. I’ll try to remember a little bit but I don’t guaranty anything, so this post will probably be very short. Here I go.

Oh, something actually happened Thursday. First of all, in our business class we were announced that we had to build a lemonade stand for Friday where 6 judges would come and rate our stand depending on four factors (product, publicity, place and price). We could each bring one item from home (we were 4 person in our group) to use in the building of our stand. I was in charge of making a flyer as well as these promotional cup holders. Anyways, the day soon came to an end and we were making our way back home when I saw this kid doing bike on the road. I had a feeling that something was going to happen…and it did. The guy was like catapulted over his bike and landed in the dirt. My parents pulled up quickly to go help him but in my mind I was like “if I were driving I would have ignored him (it isn’t very nice but it’s his fault if he fell)”. Turns out the kid was fine…

Finally Friday, we were putting up our lemonade stands and I was very nervous since I’m the leader in the group, meaning I pretty much do and say everything. We had planned on making different flavours of lemonade to add diversity so I told a team member to bring a variety of Kool-Aid. When we got to class she shows me what she has and it’s like a pouch of grape Kool-aid and five pouches of lime-lemon Kool-Aid. I pretended I didn’t care, but interiorly I was really freaking out. I ran to the pharmacy to see if they had some (I never even tasted it so god knows where to find it). In the end I didn’t find anything, I wasted valuable time and we improvised with what we had until the clients arrived. Time flew by, our lemonade SUCKED! Like it wasn’t even drinkable. We had a lunch break for an hour; there was a storm coming ahead and a lot of cops on campus. I wondered what happened when my mom called me up to tell me that a student got hit by a car…it was a bloody mess. Anyways, we got back in class, the winners were announced (not us) but we came miraculously in second place (wow). It was time to leave University for good and it was raining hardcore outside. My friends and I were waiting under an overpass when one of my friends came rushing to us, she looked like a wet dog. She had run for like 5 minutes in the rain and was therefore drenched.

Anyways that’s about it, talk to you guys in the next blog.

Eggcelent

Don’t mind the weird title…

Today, Tuesday, was yet another wonderful day at the University of Ottawa. There’s not much to talk about. This morning was somewhat colder than the usual and I had to walk from school to campus. The cold was unbearable, I thought summer was on it’s way but I feel as if it’s winter all over again, I hate seasons. Although it was freezing I’m very happy to see that the leafs on the trees are quickly growing, hence making everything more beautiful.

So ya, I had another business class today but we did something very entertaining, we concocted these very neat gizmos from popsicle sticks, straws, tape, paper and news paper. The “machine” was supposed to hold an egg so that it could prevent it of breaking. We had so much fun, and my team was awesome, I got to meet a lot of new people. In the end our egg broke when the teacher through our contraption to the ground with force.

Okay, I really need to talk. Since the beginning of my blog I told myself that these online posts would only put in context me, myself and I. Well I guess I was wrong of thinking that way…because you just can’t hide the people you love from society, even more when the person you love the most is this awesome girl who is impossible to find. This is why today I stop living my little private life and I open up to the world, I’m in love and I just can’t help it, I want everybody to know. She’s perfect, she is me and I am her, we complete each other. Without her my life would suck, without her I wouldn’t of had started a blog…without her I would be nothing…because she’s my everything. Every night when I go to bed it’s still crazy in my mind how a guy like me could get a girl like her, seriously. I find myself very lucky to have met this wonderful soul and I’m forever grateful for what she brought to my little life. I think I made my lovers night right here…I always will…

The Monologue

Salutations!

I feel as if it’s been years since I last wrote on this blog. I seriously forgot about it, no joke. I like remembered today but it’s really not my fault, there’s so much going on that I just don’t have the time…but I made a promise to not let down this blog and a promise made is a promise kept. Let’s get down to business right now since I really need to get my stuff prepared for another exciting day at the University of Ottawa.

I left my blog on Friday, if I do even remember. Luckily I wrote down some of the days important events to avoid losing the track of time. It is actually very helpful since I barely recall those things. Here we are, Friday. I’m going to start out with that morning. I don’t really remember why but I got to wake up late on that morning, almost an hour later. I was so happy, getting up in the morning very early really kills me. After that it was school, nothing interesting. It’s at lunch that everything happened; a friend and I decided to go eat by the river where we laid in the grass. The water was in front of us, it was peaceful and calm, the sky was grey and cloudy. All of a sudden two ducks (male and female) come diving into the river. It was very beautiful…very beautiful until they started to have sexual intercourse in front of us! I couldn’t help but to scream GET A ROOM! (or a private pond) because it was SO disgusting…

Next was Saturday, I had to get prepared that morning since I had this informational session at the university as guide to next week’s classes. All and all it was very good, I mean it gave me a taste of what was up for me in the future. After that I went shopping with a friend, we had a blast. I actually bought stuff, I’m amazed. Oh, when I got home there was this big issue with us loosing electricity the next morning from 5 to 11. That was really a problem since we needed to go to my cousins first communion on that day and my mom and I needed to do our hair (yes, I do my hair, I use a straightner). So we came to a conclusion that we were going to wake up at 4:30 to do everything we needed to do and then try to get back to sleep without messing our hair up. It was such a stupid idea, seriously, like I was holding my straightner and I could barely stroke it since my arms were so tired. After 5 minutes of trying I looked at my mom and told her that I was giving up and that I was going to bed…meaning that I wouldn’t attend my cousin’s first communion. Later on I woke up at 7:30 to notice that my clock was still working (digital clock). Weird, weren’t we supposed to have a power outage? I got up and questioned my mom. She told me that there was a HUGE misunderstanding with the power company since they called all the residents of town when the power was to be cut for only the east side of the sector. I hate electricity, even though I’m dependant of it…

I pretty much said everything for Sunday; it was a very boring day. And finally today was Monday, my first day at university for this week. I was eager to start since I don’t know anybody in my class but I was excited at the same time. And I’m glad that I chose that class (business) since it’s like very fun, although we did primarily ice breaker activities today to get to know each other (I hate those things). I’m looking forward to this week; it’s really going to help me with my future choices.

Anyways, time for me to go to bed, see ya!

Summer At It's Best

FUN FUN!

Today was actually a slightly nice day, talking about temperature. It wasn’t too cloudy or too sunny and there was this nice enjoyable breeze. Okay my dog is like barking crazily right now and it’s seriously driving me INSANE!!

There was actually some stuff that happened today, not exciting events but still, some minor things to talk about. It’s better than nothing. First of all we started out with our math class in the morning. The teacher wasn’t there so we had a supplement teacher (I think that’s how you call them). I’m actually happy when those random people come into class because we get to do nothing. He gave out these random trigonometry numbers that we “did”, but talked more than work. Anyways, when there was like 15 minutes left in class we panicked because we had English class next period and we needed to have finished our wedding vows (I know, sounds crazy but it’s for Romeo and Juliet). I never thought that one day I would need to compose wedding vows in the time space of 15 minutes…although in the end I didn’t do them because I had no inspiration at all what so ever. I’m going to skip English class, I didn’t actually skip I just won’t write anything about it in my blog since it was so boring.

Lunch time came and we had planned to go eat by the river but at like the last minute the group backed out so I ended up walking to the mall with two of my friends. It was enjoyable; like it was a little bit of exercise (I don’t really need it). One of my friends needed to go pick up some clothing she had put on hold so we basically were 5 minutes in a store and then we were back on our way to school. But I really don’t mind, the mall is just 15 minutes away from school.

Finally there was French class. Like usual we read our play since the god damned thing is due for like next week and we don’t really get a lot of stuff since it consists of a lot of unneeded blah blah. But that’s not my point, what I’m trying to say is that when the bell rang everybody started talking about the swine flu that’s going on in Mexico and the USA right now. Our class is very special since after 5 minutes the conversation had degenerated to a discussion on bacon and how it comes in many flavors. My teacher just stood there in front of class looking at us as if she wanted to kill us (she’s really pissy in the afternoon) and gave us this huge speech on how we’re loosing her time. Ah well, at least some students in class learned that bacon can come from turkey!

Anyways, the day is late, as would say Romeo to his dearly beloved Juliet. I’m off to bed now, take care.
