6:54 pm	I was going to post an update of how my summer's been going, but all I can think of right now is that Sheena has an appointment booked at the vet next Friday, and she won't be coming home from it. I've been telling myself for the last year that it will be easier when I've had time to prepare myself and say goodbye, but it's not easier at all. I know it's the right time to do it, but I don't want my girl to go. I'm going to miss her so much. (5 Comments |Comment on this)

10:42 pm	More updatey things Once again, list updates! -finished the school year with an average of 83% for this semester, and 85% for the year, of the courses that actually give a grade instead of just pass/fail. -got a volunteer placement at a vet clinic for the summer, as no clinics within an hour drive of my parents' house are hiring. I really like the clinic so far and (almost) all the people there are super-nice and helpful (the boss is kind of stand-offish, and I've heard she can be a bitch when she gets angry,) I just wish I could get paid for it. But so far I'm getting lots of hours in, and doing almost everything I'm expected to accomplish in my co-op (no dosimeter, so I can't take any rads, which I need practise at, but they may order one for me later in the summer.) I'm planning to keep going in for 40 hours a week until I get a paying job, so I can get as many hours as I can. Which leads me to the next point... -no job yet, and with the economy, the usually awful job situation in Peterborough is worse than ever. If all else fails, I'll be able to make it through the school year on OSAP, but that means I won't be able to pay my parents back for the new car at all. But I'm still handing out resumes and making calls, I haven't given up hope. -My puppies are doing well. Toby was neutered this week (FINALLY!!!!) and got to take his cone/e-collar off today, so he's been celebrating by behaving worse than he has for a while now (biting your heel while you walk, not listening to anything you tell him to do, pestering Sheena until she snaps at him, etc.) Sheena's arthritis slowly getting worse, but she's only on a very low dose of pain meds, and she's happy with her life right now. She gets the royal treatment around here, since everyone knows she doesn't have too much longer, and she's enjoying every minute of it, lying on her thick, fluffy new bed, begging treats, shoving her head under your hand because she needs pettings RIGHT NOW! -Seth (snake) is now settled at Mike's house for the summer. Apparently Mike's been trying to teach him to act like a real snake. He still hasn't figured out that he's supposed to be a constrictor, and you know... constrict things, but he has learned to climb. -Speaking of Mike, he broke his collarbone pretty badly Easter weekend, so he's basically been on the couch since then. He still needs to write all his exams once he's healed enough, and the school was really about organizing all that for him, but unfortunately his application to the RCMP has had to be postponed. -A couple weeks ago, my sister and I got to go out for dinner with our cousin, cousin's baby, grandmother, and great-grandfather on his 94th birthday. I hadn't seen Bamps in close to a year, so being able to be with him on his birthday was great. -Also that week, Jessie & I went out for dinner with our parents and my dad's parents, which isn't something that happens often. We're about 95% sure Grampa has Alzheimers, due to recognising symptoms and family history (pretty much everyone, on every side of the family has had it,) but of course he doesn't see it, and Gramma would never talk to his doctor about him behind his back, so it's untreated, and causes a lot of tension in the family. Things between Dad & Grampa have been tense of & on forever, and now that Grampa sometimes says things that he should never say/never would have said at full mental health, and doesn't always remember saying these things... it can be uncomfortable, to say the least. But we had a great night out, just like old times, and my sister and I had a great few days visiting with Gramma & Grampa, marred only by my sister getting sick (strep throat/maybe tonsillitis) and needing to go to my grandparents' doctor in Pembroke. -Anime North is coming up, and I'm excited for that. Sadly, there is no hope for a cool new costume this year, at most I may reuse a old one but even that may not happen. The good news is I'm staying in a room with just Amanda and HOPEFULLY Rachel, if she can make it, so there will be absolutely no Con-drama this year, just fun, picture-taking, good food (SUSHI!), friends, and possibly drinking, because what's Saturday night at Con without booze and hentai? -Also coming up is a trip to Stratford in June with my mom, grandma and little sister. Mom & Granny have gone anually a couple times now, this is the first year Jessie & I have been able to go too, so yay! We're going to be seeing three plays: MacBeth (probably my favourite of Shakespeare's plays,) The Importance of Being Earnest (possibly my favourite play EVER. If you haven't read it, READ IT NOW!) and West Side Story (which I've never seen and am somewhat neutral toward, though I know Jessie & GRAnny really want to see it.) We're only going overnight, so being able to get tickets to three plays that everyone wanted to see is pretty fantastic, and I'm sure it'll be an awesome time. -once again, writing this took way longer expected and I need to be up early tomorrow. Goodnight, all! (2 Comments |Comment on this)

10:12 pm	An update inspired by Amanda I haven't updated this in a looong time. Sorry for that, I never feel like I have anything to say. But to the people on my friends list: I do read your entries, even if I never comment, so I feel I should at least attempt to let you know about my life now and then. But if I start to go into details I'd be writing all night, and it would be really boring. So, inspired by Amanda's list-updates, here's what I've been up to... (if you want details just ask.) -still in college, still working towards being a vet tech, and still loving it. I don't understand why I stayed in university so long, taking courses I hated, thinking it would get better. I love everything I'm doing now. Even the courses I dislike are fascinating, as much as I complain about them sometimes, it's mostly the format of the course that bothers me. I LOVE what I'm learning. First year is almost over, which means I'm almost halfway done! -somehow pulling an 80+ average right now, in spite of the lack of motivation I've been feeling toward getting my work done before the last minute. I'm trying, but I've been having trouble staying focused lately. -I love my pets. Seth (snake) is getting really big, the last time I measured him (at least a month ago,) he'd grown six inches in length since I got him in September. Sabin (the gecko) is still afraif of me, but I've been trying to spend more time in and around his tank to get him over hat. Too early to see change yet, but I'll keep trying. -My parents got a puppy a few weeks ago. They applied to adopt an adult dog from a sheltie rescue, but were turned down for reasons that don't seem valid. (The woman doesn't think they can train a dog, despite the fact that they've trained 5 amazing dogs in my lifetime, because my mom has never gone to puppy classes or anything like that.) ANYWAY, after that, they started getting in touch with breeders, asking about young adult dogs in need of homes. They went and a road trip one weekend to meet a breeder with a couple adult dogs, and came home with a 6 month old pup instead. His name is Tobi, he's beautiful and sweet and very shy, and I wish I could spend more time at home with him & Sheena. -Sheena, by the way, is not a huge fan of Tobi, but she's become progressively more unfriendly with other dogs as she ages. She's doing well though, and every time I go home for the weekend they're getting along better. -Mike & I went to Niagara Falls a while back, for Valentine's day. It was a pretty spur of the moment idea I had, and it worked out great. It was wonderful to spend so much time with him. We usually spend pretty much the whole weekend together, but the fact that it was just the two of us, and there were all sorts of different things to see and do, made it special. -I need a summer job working at a vet clinic, it's required for school, and I have been looking since Christmas with no luck. No clinics in Peterborough are interested, except one who would take me on for unpaid summer work only. I can't afford to work for free (see next point for details on that), so I've applied to every clinic within an hour drive of my parents' house. There's no point in staying here to try & find work, the few clinics in this area are swamped with applications and have already hired months ago. -My poor car finally got to the point where it needed more urgent repairs than it was worth, so over reading week (two weeks ago) I sold it and bought a new(er) one. 2001 Nissan Sentra, as opposed to my old '95. I love it, but because if that I definitely need a real job. for the summer. I'm tempted to call the clinic that offered me unpaid work, take it, and get a second job doing anything, as long as it pays, but Peterborough is so saturated with students looking for summer jobs, I'm afraid I wouldn't get anything. -I'm currently on my last kennel duty ever(!!!!) FYI, kennel duty is a requirement for first year vet techs at my school. We have animals from shelters that come to stay at the school clinic throughout the year. These cats & dogs are our practice subjects, that we practice restraints, giving medications, etc on, and in return they are vaccinated, dewormed, get free fecals, urinalysis, and bloodwork done, as well as getting spayed/neutered or dental work by second year students (with teachers and vets, obviously.) Because these animals stay at the clinic for a few weeks, they need to be looked after, which is done by done first year students on kennel duty. Starting at 6:30 am, 5-12 dogs needed to be walked, kennels scrubbed, and fed; 12-30 cats need litter boxes changed, cages scrubbed, and food; the clinic needs to be cleaned; laundry created by surgery classes and animal bedding needs to be washed and dried; and all this has to be done by ten people as fast as possible. At 5:00, we do it again. This happens for a week, twice a semester for each group. My group is on our final shift (last day tomorrow!) ever. Next year we'll have animal care, which is more one on one time with specific animals, but at least it starts an hour later, so I won't have to get up at 5:30 am anymore. -It's now 11:00, an I have to be up at 5:30, so I think I'm done.

11:05 pm	I have a snake. He is amazing, and tiny, and the coolest birthday present ever (from the best boyfriend ever.) He's a Ghost Corn,  I don't actually know if he's male, I won't be able to tell for sure until he's a lot bigger, but I'm calling him a boy for now. His name is Seth, short for Setesh (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_(mythology))   ( Pics! )   (2 Comments |Comment on this)

12:17 pm	The good stuff Now it's time for apartment pictures! ( Pics! ) The living room gets sun all morning, and it's warm enough out there that right now, I don't even have a heater on Sabin's tank. I`ve been keeping an eye in the temperature, and he`s warm enough without the heaters. I couldn`t find a good angle to get a picture of the bedroom, so you guys don`t get to see how messy it is right now, since I`ve been sewing in there all morning. My apartment is in a house, and so far, the family in the house seems really nice. Sheila (the mom/my landlady) is really nice, the girls (Miranda and GloryAnn) are good kids, the dogs are cute but noisy, and Jake (the dad) has been away this week, so I haven`t gotten to know him yet.

1:51 am	Financial woes rant Not much had changed in the last little while. I'm still on waiting lists for both colleges, so I have no idea what I'll be doing next year. Part of me is comfortable with the thought of taking a year off, but part of me is panicky enough about how long it'll be before I'm done school that adding another year is a very uncomfortable thought. Ah well, things will work out one way or another. I'm not sure how I feel about starting work on Monday. The job (same thing I did last summer) isn't bad, it's just exhausting, and not what I wanted to be doing this summer. On the other hand, it's the only job I've been offered all year, and I am further in debt right now than I have been in the last two years. The only time I have ever owed more money than I do right now was when I bought my car, and I hate this feeling. I have been so careful with my finances this year, and my goal was to start putting money away so that I could have some sort of long-term savings. But I have spent the last eight months applying for every job I have seen advertised, and I have had ONE interview in that time. ONE. And I didn't even get that job. So instead of gettting ahead finacially, I've been living off the money I made last summer, and I hate it! I am so sick of budgeting, of having just enough money for gas to get myself to school, of paying for food or movie tickets on my visa rather than admitting to my friends who all want to go out that I just can't afford it, and having them all pity me or look down on me for my lack of money. It just hit me today how tired I am of all this. I'm not wishing I could win the lottery, or anything ridiculous like that, I'm just frusterated. This has been a very trying school year, and I can't believe how glad I am that it's over. I don't want to be rich, I just want to be able to spend a few dollars without worrying that because of that I won't have the money to buy gas to get to school/work. I want to be able to pay my insurance and phonebill every month, not owe that money to my mother. My first paycheque from work is going to have to go entirely to my mother or my visa, and I'm just fed up. I don't even use my visa very often, but when my brakes died on me the other day, I had no other way to pay for the repairs. I had, between my regular account and my saving account, less than twenty-five dollars to my name. That number has gone up a bit, but so have my debts. I can't even put into words how much I am looking forward to having an income again. (4 Comments |Comment on this)

11:01 pm	Eeeep! I'm currently somewhere between scared & eager for tomorrow. My biggest fear is the V, but there's nothing I can do about it now, so I'm not letting myself panic. The last week has been very warm and sunny, and it's made me oddly nostalgic for high school. Well, not really high school, more just the park. I miss lunchtime in the park, under the tree, in this kind of weather. Ah well, I got to play frisbee in Jackson's Park yesterday, that made up for it. I got a response from Ridgetown/Guelph college. I was accepted to the distance-ed program, which I don't want to do, and I'm #6 on the waiting list for the regular program. So I need to call St Lawrence and find out where I am on their waiting list, before I can decide what to do. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

12:08 am	Random Thoughts Well, I'm on the wait list for St Lawrence, and I haven't heard from Ridgetown yet. It's good to have heard from St Lawrence at least, but unfortunately I won't know until sometime over the summer whether I'll actually be going there or not, which makes it hard to plan ahead. I haven't had any luck on the job front, but I'm still trying. I sent out a bunch more resumes today and yesterday, and tomorrow I'm going to drop one off at Trent to apply for the job I did last summer. I'm also going to stop in at my vet tomorrow and talk to someone about the volunteer hours I need (again). I went in two weeks ago, and somehow every time I've called since, the lady who hires volunteers isn't there. So if they don't help me out tomorrow, I'll start asking at other clinics. My brother finally found someone to apprentice him, after two years of looking, so he's been in a vey good mood lately, which is nice to see. He and the guy he's working for now have been doing work at our house for the last week & a half. I'm finally getting my bathroom across the hall that's been promised as long as we've lived in this house (17? maybe 18 years now,) carpet and linoleum are being replaced with tiles, it's wonderful, but very noisy. And right across the hall from my room, so my regular sleep schedule of 'go to bed late, get up late' is disrupted. And I was in the pet store a few weeks ago with Amanda, and had to stop myself from buying a snake right there and then. I know my dad hates them, to the point where if there is a snake in the house, he won't be, but they had the most beautiful, friendly little corns. I found myself thinking of where the tank could go, and pricing all the accessories I'd need, and almost had to leave the store to stop myself. Don't get me wrong, Sabin's a sweet little lizard and I love him dearly, but I've wanted a snake as long as I can remember. The grading just keeps getting closer, and while I still alternate between confidence and fear that I don't know the syllabus, the confident times are becoming much less frequent. I can look at the syllabus and tell myself that I've done all these techniques and picture them in my head, but when I get on the matts I tend to freeze up and stick with novice throws, tai-otoshi, or seoi-otoshi. Apparently I've been doing ippon-seoi-nage wrong, I've been doing it the old way, and while I can do the new way if I stop to think about it, I tend to slip back into the way I learned it as soon as I get distracted. I think I know all the holds, but I'm still terrible at groundwork. I can never break out of a hold, and everyone can get out of mine. I know I'm just being silly, it's just been a very long time since I graded and I think that's making the pre-grading jitters even worse. And then there's the fact that I'll probably need to borrow money from my parents to even afford to grade, which makes me feel about ten years old again, but that's a whole other issue. Oh good Lord it's 1am. (5 Comments |Comment on this)

10:57 pm	Well the last few weeks have certainly been busy. I'm not even sure where to start... I finally realized that Trent is not where I'm supposed to be. It took me a few years, but I figured it out. Maybe it was the fact that I'm repeating two courses this year. Maybe it was the fact that Trent finally noticed how horrible my average is. Maybe it was seeing a close friend who also wasn't meant for university graduate with top marks from a program she really enjoys. Who knows. But whatever it was, I've applied to the two closest college that offer the program I want to do, Veterinary Technology. So maybe I'll be in Kingston this time next year, or Ridgetown, or at home, doing the course online (surprisingly, not my first choice.) As much as I want to do this, I want to get out of university, do this course, get working at a job I enjoy and get on with my life, I'm ... I don't know how to describe it. Not scared exactly... I don't want to move away. At all. ( Freaking out ) (3 Comments |Comment on this)

1:52 am	My Life In Song A soundtrack to your life. Give it a go! Here are the steps: Open your entire MP3 library, set to random, then for every question, answer and hit next. Delete duplicates, but don't skip over songs that don't really match-- that's half the fun! Opening Credits: Winter (Allegro) - The last movement of Vivaldi's Four Seasons. No lyrics, just a good classical piece. A little strange for opening credits, but I do love the Four Seasons. Waking Up: Golden Years - David Bowie. http://www.lyricsfreak.com/d/david+bowie/golden+years_20036939.html So... I think Bowie's telling me to cheer up? I guess that's a good message first thing in the morning. First Day of School: Raise a Little Hell - Trooper. http://webhome.idirect.com/~muskokajoe/lyric/raisehell.html Awesome song, but totally not me in high school. I was quiet. Bitchy, but definitely not a hell raiser. Falling in Love: Something About Us - Daft Punk. http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/daftpunk/somethingaboutus.html How... oddly appropriate. Fight Song: Headlong - Queen http://www.lyricsondemand.com/q/queenlyrics/headlonglyrics.html Well, the lyrics don't fit, but it has a good beat for a fight song. Not my first choice, but it sort of works. Breaking Up: Finland - Monty Python http://www.lyricsdepot.com/monty-python/finland.html Um. What? "Honey, I'm leaving you to go to Finland"? Life's Good: You Can Leave Your Hat On - Tom Jones http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/tomjones/youcanleaveyourhaton.html Life is good when a lady (or a bunch of Irish guys) gets naked for me. Makes sense. Mental Breakdown: Path - Apocalyptica (no lyrics) Sweet, going crazy to my favourite song by my favourite band. If you listen to the song, you can kind of hear a breakdown, or maybe that's just my imagination. Driving: Du Hast - Rammstein http://lyricwiki.org/Rammstein:Du_Hast I do like to listen to angry music when I'm driving, for some reason. Flashback: Bumblebee Tuna Song - Mephiskapheles http://www.2famouslyrics.com/m/mephiskapheles/bumble-bee-tuna-song.html AH HAH HAH HAH! SO TRUE! Getting Back Together: Strange Relationship - Darren Hayes http://www.lyricsdomain.com/4/darren_hayes/strange_relationship.html Wow. Just wow. "Do you love me? We break up and back together, And I swore to myself never..." Gee, that doesn't sound familiar at all! The rest of the song doesn't work, but those three lines... Wedding: Legend of Zelda Theme, Techno Remix (no lyrics) I'm going to marry Link? Final Battle: Struggle - Apocalyptica (no lyrics) Angry cellos are always good. Death Scene: History is Made by Stupid People - The Arrogant Worms http://www.lyricsdownload.com/worms-arrogant-history-is-made-by-stupid-people-lyrics.html This would seem to imply that my (not serious) life goal of winning a Darwin Award will be achieved. :) Funeral Song: Sweet Transvestite - Rocky Horror Picture Show http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/therockyhorrorpictureshow/sweettransvestite.htm .... I'm not touching that with a ten-foot pole. End Credits: Heaven Can Wait - Meat Loaf http://www.seeklyrics.com/lyrics/Meat-Loaf/Heaven-Can-Wait.html I really love this song, but I don't see how it works here. (7 Comments |Comment on this)

7:43 pm	Life hates me Why does everything always go wrong at one time? In the last week, I've had my car towed, spent $150 on it, and been told that it needs more work than it's worth. I got a second opnion on that, and was told the car is worth keeping, and will cost about half the original estimate to repair. But that's still more money than I have. Meanwhile, the very small gas leak that MYSTERIOUSLY developed after the first merchanic saw it has gotten a lot worse, and I need to get that fixed as soon as possible (read: tomorrow. I don't care who fixes it or how much it costs, it has to be done NOW.) I haven't been sleeping well, so I feel like crap, I've been missing a lot of jitsu for various reasons, I'm working my ass off to potentially fail omne of the few courses I actually enjoy this year, because the prof, as nice as he is, if the hardest marker anyone in the class has ever seen (the average mark on the midterm was in the fifties.) And my great grandmother died yesterday. She was ninety-three years old, and she's been in a senior's home with Alzheimer's disease for about ten years. For the last few months she's been pretty much just sleeping all the time, and she hasn't recognized most of my family for a few years. But she's still my Nan, and I still love her. My great-grampa has visited her every day since she's been in the home, even though often times she didn't know who he was, or why he was there. They would have been married seventy-two years in the spring. (5 Comments |Comment on this)

7:41 pm	Assholes! Apparently there was a group of teenagers on my road last night, making trouble. They stole a few bikes (which were later found a few kilometers away, with some empty liquor bottles,) smashed a window, and lots of people are missing money and small items from their cars. Luckily, there was nothing of any particular value in my cars, a cd wallet (containing only burned cds, try and make money off of that, fuckers!) maybe five dollars on change, and a pair of gloves are all that I've noticed so far. But my little sister lost about two hundred dollars worth of cds, and my brother lost his 2gig IPod Nano. None of us have contents insurance on our vehicles, and it would end up costing more to claim it on house insurance than it would to just replace what was stolen, so my little sister, who's struggling to save money for school and pay car insurance, is screwed. It just makes me so angry. This is why I live in the country, so I don't have to deal with these things. No one around here locks their cars when they're home, and half the people I know don't even lock their houses. But now we have to start locking things up, and worrying about "will this happen again?" and even worse, "do we know these kids?" The bikes were found in the village of Mount Pleasant, implying that that's where the kids were from, and that's a horrible feeling. That means that my siblings and I went to school with these people, and the stupid fuckers still robbed my family. I hate people. Current Mood: angry (1 Comment |Comment on this)

6:25 pm	Well, it's been way too long since I've updated this. Life goes on, as usual. Work is hot and tiring, but it's not bad. I've worked worse jobs, and at least I get along well with almost everyone I work with. I'm still struggling with my asthma, it's driving me crazy. Most of the time it's under control, but once I start having trouble breathing, it takes forever for my chest to loosen up. I'm going to the doctor in a few weeks anyway, so I'm going to talk to him about it (again.) And because I'm so bored, the meme thing that everyone's doing. RULES 1) Bold what is true about you. 2) Italicize what you wish was true about you. 3) Add one true thing about you to the end of the list. 4) Tag five LJ friends (skipping this) I miss somebody right now. I don't watch much TV these days. ("much" meaning "any") I own lots of books. I wear glasses or contact lenses. I love to play video games. I've tried marijuana. I've watched porn movies. I have been the psycho-ex in a past relationship. I believe honesty is usually always the best policy. I curse sometimes. As opposed to constantly. I have changed a lot mentally over the last year. I carry my knife/razor everywhere with me. I have broken someone's bones. I have a secret that I am ashamed to reveal. I hate the rain. I'm paranoid at times. I would get plastic surgery if it were 100% safe, free of cost, and scar-free. I need/want money right now. I love sushi. I talk really, really fast. I have fresh breath in the morning. I have long hair. I have at least one sibling. (Older brother, younger sister) I was born in a country outside of the U.S. I have worn fake hair/fingernails/eyelashes in the past. I couldn't survive without Caller I.D. I like the way that I look. Sometimes it's true, sometimes it isn't. I have lied to a good friend in the last 6 months. I am usually pessimistic.
