First blog where I don’t enumerate everything I did…as in every little detail! I’ve been reading blogs lately and well…mine was a bit repetitive and redundant, but the pictures made a difference.
The past two days we’re awesome, I barely had school since I was doing so figuration (is that even a word?! I’m too lazy to go check in the dictionary) at a place near my school. I really wasn’t sure if I was going to like the experience at first; I started at 7:30 and finished at 6:30, which represents a total of 11 hours. Sure I was getting paid, but for once my heart was telling me that the money wasn’t essential. Well damn you heart since I decided to go anyways, I just couldn’t back out of this experience. Not so sure of what my day would look like I made my way to a tiny room called “the holding” where we needed to sign legal papers, forms, etc. to prevent some miscalculation whatsoever. When I stepped in I noticed that we were only three in the room; two girls and I. This couldn’t be right, I mean, only three individuals, more people were to come in sooner the later…right? When 7:30 struck there was sign of a forth individual whatsoever.

It’s not the fact that we were a relatively small group that bothered me; it was that the supervisor had stated in one of her email that there was going to be a lot of time to kill where we needed to stay in the “holding room” and occupy ourselves by reading, doing some homework, studying, or anything else. I hadn’t brought much; apart from my BlackBerry I only had my History paper that I “started”, whatever that means. Soon enough we were put in position and we were given directions to follow on set. After that significant moment the day went fast, too fast. It was such a good experience, and I personally think I did awesome, so awesome that they asked me to come back next Thursday to do some more! The only downer during the day was the horrible food…it tasted like moisture (I haven’t personally tasted moisture and I don’t plan on doing so anytime soon). And there was actually one funny part during the whole filming process where some random kids came onto the set while the cameras were rolling. They kept on asking us questions like: “Have you guys seen Patrick?!”, “What’s happening down here?!” It was hilarious, I’m sure that’s going onto the DVD as a blooper. I couldn’t believe how stupid they were, looking straight into the lens of the cameras and asking what’s happening, wake up! Turns out that figuration is actually very paying, not as paying as a full time job but still very paying.
I’ve read the news quite recently and my attention came upon the story that is on everybody’s lips at this very instant; the plane that mysteriously disappeared over the Atlantic Ocean. I find the whole phenomenon very disturbing, it’s a real life movie scenario; a scene taken right out of a suspenseful action movie. It’s such a surreal story, the fact that nobody received an emergency call, not even one tiny little whisper…the plane just disappeared…vanished…ceased to exist. I’m sending out positive vibes to the friends and families living in grief right now.

My skin is red and itchy now! I’m not having an allergic reaction, it’s because today (being Friday) we had an EXTRA LONG LUNCH that started at 11:00 and finished at 3:25. During that lapse of time we were outside listening to a live concert, signing yearbooks, and witnessing the Bye-Bye which is the end of the year show. This year is the first year where the whole activities were held exclusively outside, and I must say it was quite enjoyable, although now I’m kind of anxious regarding whether or not I have skin cancer (completely absurd on my behalf). The music was loud; we were sitting literally in front of the speakers (proof that sometimes we teenagers are so stubborn), a dangerous mix that led to partial hearing loss for an hour or so. But I must say that it was quite an amazing show, a good contrast with this amazing year.
I finally wrote a post that made sense, although I’m planning to write every single day from now on since writing a post after many days of absence leads to confusion and a lack of inspiration. But how am I going to write a post every single day? Let’s say I get home at midnight…and I’m too tired to sit down at my desk and write a complete post. What do I do? Easy, we’re in 2009 and it’s not for nothing. It’s called mobile internet. I’m planning on getting internet on my BlackBerry since I think it’s a crucial tool. My phone is basically a laptop; I have almost every single program I need to make projects and its quick. With a click of a button I can send stuff at lightning fast speed, quite ingenious.
It’s getting a bit late, I’ve been working on some pictures for a few hours and some turned out pretty well, you’ll see in my next blog. Watch out for the one called “Frozen In Time”, I find it particularly appealing. And for this post’s pictures well they’re old pictures that I dug up in my portfolio, the “Ottawa Sun” one is a reference to one of Ottawa’s newspaper, its okay if you don’t get it. It’s also outdated, but nice anyway. Really need to head to bed now; I have a big day ahead of me tomorrow. Only two more weeks of school and then it’s OVER! Have fun in the mean time.
