You know... doing a journal entry when you're actually awake sounds like a friggin' awesome idea but it seems I'm not bright enough for that. So by now I've forgotten half or more than half of what I wanted to write.
ok lets start with Monday! ..no wait Tuesday! Tuesday was the first day of school. We had orientation and what not. However...being part of the student council, this lucky little idiot got to wake up around 5am to be at the college for 7 to start making frosh kits for the students. We had t-shirts, coupons, cups, gum and more stuff to put in each bag. We ran around all day.
Around 11:30, I had my orientation time with my class. Being a first year, DUH, I was gonna go. I kinda felt bad for leaving them there but yeah I kinda needed to know what I was doing and meeting my fellow classmates was good. So rather than going the full two hours, we only spent an hour there. The teachers showed us who they were and what we were to expect to learn and to inspire to be able to do by the end of our 3 years. Then we played pictionary. The most horrible game for an artist. You have like 30 seconds to draw something for your group to GUESS what the phrase or movie or what ever it was. I made this make shift stick figure Jack Sparrow...good god it was funny! Then the teacher THREW gum at us when we got them right. At the end she'd grab a handfull and chuck them at us! Most of the first years (my year...haha) are really timid. I hope things get better as we continue.
Anyway, so after that, I went directly back outside to help the guys out. After a while it was just another girl and I giving out the kits. There wasn't as many people as in the morning but with only 2 people doing it...it was horrible! At one point I was ALONE for like 15 minutes. I looked like an idiot taking their name and then rushing inside to go make their kit. We ran out of bags like 3 times too...and then around 2 I finally got a lil meal ticket and went and got myself a chip and some water. I felt so horrible I couldn't eat, I ate like not even half the bag of chips and gave the rest to a friend. Then after my mini break of like...5...maybe 10 minutes I went and helped clean up and put stuff away. By the time I got to leave it was 3:30.
So I was hurting all over, we all were. I got home and guess what. Mommy and Daddy were HOOOOOOOOOME! I was friggin' exhausted but so happy to see them. I hugged mom like 5 times and I got a hug from Dad too. They got chinese food because they didn't wanna cook anything when they got back from camp. So it was nice. I then stayed up and just chilled and talked on msn. It made me so happy to talk to my friends.
Oh...and did I mention, I was on friggin' TV! While I was giving out the frosh kits and taking names when there was that morning rush, I got filmed and didn't know it! I was just talking with my parents in the living room and it went something like this:
"Ohhhh, look they're talking about the schools, maybe we'll see you!"
"Nah..doubt it, I spent most of my time inside making the kits..." and as I said that, there I was! I shreeked in embarassment, took a pillow and covered my face. I was on at least for 5 seconds, probably more. I looked like an idiot! Gnaaah! Mom and Dad wouldn't stop teasing me after.
Now this morning, Mom and I went shopping. We left at 8:30, went to penningtons. Got this lady that wouldn't leave us alone. I can understand it can get boring working in a store but holy crap lady, let me shop! I wanted to get out of there quickly as possible! I ended up buying two pairs of jeans and a few shirts from there. I wanted to look at the underwear and bras but with her around, I didn't want to at all. After that we went to fill up my car with gas...price went up again. What a surprise. Then we went to the other penningtons across town, the ladies there were really nice. They said hi to us, explained the sales in the store and then left us alone to shop. They would both joke around with us when we were trying on clothes and when we were passing through our things. They were made of win! I ended up buying a few more shirts there, undies and bras that I wanted. I've realised that I don't think lace is good for bras. I have lace on one of my bras where the strap is...my shoulder is all red from it. Not to mention the underwire doesn't like me.... so yeah, much better experience there and I got all my school clothes. I just need to get something shiny and cute for formal events later this semester.Oh and did I mention that Mom would find all her things at 70% off and I could find NOTHING in those racks for me?! ...oh well...no biggy, we had coupons. We saved 130$ with coupons alone! I dunno how much more with mom's on sale stuff.
After our clothes shopping, we went to Micheals, the art store. I got most of everything I needed for class. It was nuts too. I kinda felt bad in some ways since some things I already had but I know I didn't have enough for class. Paint being the biggest thing and then my pastels at home were like...broken and just falling appart. So I had to get new stuff.
Stuff I already had at home. Which was wonderful! Dad got me the knives!
Sketch pads, tracing paper, metal ruler, sketch book, water colors, eraser, paint brushes, er..triangles, oriental brushes. (Even if I'm not 100% sure if thats what she wanted... but if not I have the india inks with the nibs and everything here too. =3 )
And what you didn't see in the other picture, pastels, coloring pencils and acrylic paint.
I'm still missing a brush...printer paper not shown either lol ummm and "Drawing paper" ? I've asked in an e-mail what she meant but she still hasn't replied...
After that we went to Mark's wearhouse or something like that to get Dad some jeans and shirts. Went in twice cuz Dad was at Cosco and like gave us all the food so he could do more shopping and we were going home soon. He tried on the shirts in the parking lot and said to us to go get more..lol so we did and then we went to Giant Tiger...for apperantly a tray. Never found the tray but we walked out with a cart full....yeah. I was not pleased.
Then we went to my college to see if we could find the other materials I wasn't sure of. The teacher said everything SHOULD be there...its just more expensive. So there I bought the eraser, brushes and bristol paper. They didn't have much of anything. Which is why I'm still missing a brush. I need to find a size 6. if that means anything. I think I'll just to go Micheals soon and go get it...and if I can know what she meant by "drawing paper" get that too.
Finally, we get home, unpack and Daddy got us Timmies. Yum <3 He got me an ice cap. A large though...so I only drank so much and he had to take some of it too. lol I can't drink that much anymore..it makes me sick. After everything was put away, I had to do council stuff. I checked my e-mails and did what I had to until mom made pizza and once I ate I was out the door. Got there, printed out some posters and put them around the college. Once I was done I just chilled with the guys for about an hour and now here I am!
Plans for this weekend goes as follows:
After my classes Friday, Luc and I are going shopping! Hopefully we'll find time to go to Micheals and TRY to find my harvest moon game that was supposed to be out the 28th but STILL isn't there. We'll be shopping for things for Saturday, we're gonna drink, play games and sleep there! I don't need to drive for once! Should be fun!
Well thats it for me for now... I'm just exausted. I'm sorry if I made like this huge post for you guys. I know its not easy to follow when you've got tons of stuff to do. I wish you all well! Night!
