Eh? Boring Entry

Current Mood:

There’s 1 more test coming up tomorrow. I had one today as well and it was a bitch. It was alright. It wasnt easy/hard its just that now I have to study for another test. :irked: Then I thought I had sociology today then I didnt since somebody had left a note on the door that class is cancelled at 3pm but there’s no class at 3pm. The class is at 2 pm. :freak: So I skipped and went off to the computer labs and tried to study for Unix/Linux test.

I got my Sims Vacation on the mail today. :excited: Bought it from Ebay. Got it for $7-ish Canadian (eh?!) including shipping and handling. I am still waiting for Sims Online, Livin’ Large & House Party to be here.

Got work tomorrow. I dont know how to tell her that I’ll be leaving by the end of the month. I will definitely stay for Easter since the store will be busy during that week.

Argh. Thats it. :bubble:

Because my problem is not everybody’s problem

Current Mood:

Toronto is divided into sub-cities. The GTA, North York, Scarborough etc. I wont say where I live except I do live in Toronto (T.O for short). The GTA (stands for the Greater Toronto Area) which is where all the shops, tourists attractions are. Basically its like the NY city of USA. Thus it is prone to homeless people. The non-GTA area is obviously like the Buffalo of NY. I wouldnt say its rural but urban but not as busy as GTA. It has the occasional traffic but not has hardcore as GTA. Thus no homeless people. Until now…

As I was walking home, I saw a homeless sitting on the snow leaning against a bench made of cement. A “normal” person would sit on the bench but this homeless person sat on the snow. But thats not what I was thinking about when I saw him/her. I was thinking, Why is a homeless in this part of Toronto? There’s not alot of people in here and they dont really give away $ to strangers. Maybe it was a slap in the face that homelessness is not going away or maybe it’s increasing or maybe they just decided to scatter around in the country. Even though I was going home from a test which I totally screwed over and I just want to burn my hair because of it, this person’s problem is way bigger than mine. It’s not just his problem, it’s our problem. I definitely felt sorry for him. I wish I had given him some change but I’m not sure whether my change is enough. Normally whenever I’m in the GTA, I dont give any change because I know that instead of spending it on something productive like food, clothes etc they’ll spend it on cigarettes. Now whats the point of giving them $ when they’re just going to slowly kill themselves by smoking? Maybe if I’m in a real good mood, I’ll give them change but usually no.

So yeah if I see this homeless person tomorrow I might give change. Whatever change I got… :shy:

Gelato made me sick

Current Mood:

I just had another test tonight. It went okay except for 1 question which I didnt get…. It was basically looking for a pattern and finding the formula. :irked: Before the test, I wanted to get some gelato which is sorta like ice cream. I had the chocolate one. Unfortunately after the test, I had a little tummy ache. I’m guessing its the ice cream. Maybe it was old or something because it definitely made me sick after. :yuck:

Before the test, I was studying with these guys. Being in computer science in all, it is filled with guys where there are rarely women. So being the only girl in the study area, I was the butt of the joke yet at the same time laughing at their jokes and what not. Watching them do goofy things makes me laugh… I know this is basically a useless thing to say but give me credit since I did go to an all girls school. Starting talking to other guys who I didnt use to talk to and stuff. Talk to the cute guys (the only cute ones in the class). Meh. That’s it. I have work tomorrow which is a bitch but oh well. :slant:

Upgraded!

Current Mood:

I’ve finally upgraded WP 1.2 to 1.5. :sly: Guess who’s a happy bee? Me! I got the smilies to work and my plugins. It took a while to tinker with it and all because of the new features such as themes. I didnt want to use that since I already skin this site. So yeah.. :smile: I got so much crap to do for school and I’m so behind because I had like test after test after test. :tired: < -- What I Looked like on Friday.. After that math test. lol. :lol:

I just had to put these quizzes since I have nothing to post.. So yeah..
Are you a romantic/realist?
You Are A Romantic Realist
You are more romantic than 40% of the population.
You tend to be grounded when it comes to romance.
Sure, you can fall hard… but only for someone you’ve gotten to know.
And once you’re in love, you can be a total romantic goofball…
But you’d never admit it to your friends!

The above is actually right!…

What kind of a blogger are you?
You Are a Life Blogger!
Your blog is the story of your life – a living diary.
If it happens, you blog it. And make it as entertaining as possible.

I dont agree with this

Are you a drama queen/king?
You Are a Drama Queen (or King)
(You are more dramatic than 60% of the population.)
And the oscar goes to… you!
You’re all about overreacting and just plain acting.
You see the world as your stage, and give a great performance.
And while you’re friends may find you entertaining at times…
Everyone’s secretly hoping that you’ll just chill a little.
(But they’d never tell you – they fear your wrath!)

Somebody I know personally needs to confirm this… :slant:

Hows your karma?
You Have Good Karma
In general, you like to do the right thing when it comes to others.
Your caring personality really shines through.
Sure, you have your moments of weakness – and occasionally act out.
But, all in all, you’re karma is good… even with those few dark spots.

True that!

What Gender is your brain?
Your Brain is 66.67% Female, 33.33% Male

Your brain leans female
You think with your heart, not your head
Sweet and considerate, you are a giver
But you’re tough enough not to let anyone take advantage of you!

Thank God! :bubble: :lol:

Gender Inequality

Current Mood:

Alright from now on, I will stop calling other women bitches. lol. And I laugh… But I am serious about stopping it though. Why do we even call each other bitches? Some its for jokes. Hell I do it to my buddies when I was in highschool. In fact Im sure everyone in the whole entire school called each other bitches.

Today in Sociology, we were talking about gender inequality. Not just gender inequality for women but men too but I wont talk about the men’s side. The women’s side definitely sticks out in my head. My prof stated that it took women many years to finally gain some respect in society. We fought the right to vote, the right to be our own persons and the right to wear pants dammit. :lol: Yet once we gain all that… we throw it all away and call each other bitches.. :irked: Women are 10 times more likely to call women bitches than men calling women bitches… Interesting isnt it? What is a bitch? Female dog… What is man’s best friend? A dog…. Thus a bitch is a property of men… I didnt even realize that until my prof said that in todays lecture.

Another thing that’s interesting is why do women have to pay taxes for feminine products like tampons and pads? We have no choice when it comes to buying those things. We kinda have to…. Why is it that women have to pay more for the same pants that men buy? Why do I have to get charged more for a trim for my hair while men dont have to pay as much?

Here’s an article I read based on that
Clickity click!

School nothingness

Current Mood:

I’m pretty much running out of patience when it comes to this java assignment that I’m working with with my partner :tired: … Got the errors fixed and now we’re working on another part. Yes, I whine about my school problems in here and you people who read it dont know what the heck I’m talking about but oh well. Nothing else to blog about so why not I’ll blog about school.

On the bright side, training for usher’s is next week. :sly: I’m very much excited/nervous about it.

Nothing much except I want spring to be here already so I could buy that jacket from H&M I’ve been drooling on.

Last Day

Current Mood:

Today is officially my last day in LS the ice cream store. :jump: Then next week I am off to a brand new environment which means brand new ramblings in here. I hope not to complain about stupid dumb ass customers who cant speak english and who bitch how the ice cream are too expensive. The French Crisp lady came by today and I told her that the store is closing and how today is my last day. She was so sad about it that she even wanted to give me a going-away card. I told her its alright and that she didnt have to. I remember her promising to give me a slice of her homemade French Crisp ice cream cake… :-P But she never did. She probably forgot…

Three more weeks of school left then exams!!!! :weeping: Still have assignments due which arent done yet… I dont think one of them will be done… Unless some miracle happens.. *coughjavacough* :sowhat:

Forgot to put this but hosting is open!!!! Lost a hostee today :sad:

I’m Mouseless!!!!

Current Mood:

Alright… So my mouse stopped working which means.. I’m off to constantly using my keyboard and the tab button… No smilies in this entry since I cant click on the mother fuckin thing… I swear too much. I gotta buy a brand new mouse tomorrow if I do remember.

Yesterday was my first training as an Usher in Blue Jays. For non-Canadians, Blue Jays is the only baseball team in Canada… Note the “only” word in there. It was a little weird since I havent done anything like this. Their rules are way too strict for my liking but I do have to live with it if I want this job. For example, if I need a day off, it must be in a written letter. If you see a baseball player in the stadium, do not ask for an autograph. That one is the worst. I dont like baseball but it would still be cool to get one… right? Another is if a foul ball lands in front of me and I happen to catch it first, I cannot keep the ball. If I get free baseball tickets, I cannot use it for myself I have to ask the supervisor if I want to go to that game as a fan…. Thats just one of the few rules that I dont like…. Here’s another one… If there are left over free toys, you cannot get one… They do bag checks all the time. Meh..

Some of the great benefits of being there, 50% off on food.. 30% off on Blue Jays merchandise including tickets. And they have all these other things that I dont need… like parking but I dont drive..

Another training day is tomorrow.. I gotta write a letter on when I want that day off..
