So I woke up around 11:30 and watched Glee until around 1:30 when I started trying to reach my aunts so I could get a ride home and also so I could get access to the garage door opener. Around 3PM I finally did get in touch with my second aunt who had the car, and so I got a ride home to her house, picked up the car, and then headed home.
When I got home, I had forgotten milk so I had to go to the variety store and get that. I then headed back home and called my best friend Jean who was able to come over for the night which is great because when I'm alone at home in this bigger house, it's difficult for me to fall asleep which sucks of course. Anyway, we've watched Cruel Intentions, Meet the Robinson, and now Julie & Julia. And New Years is in 28 minutes (I know the time this was posted says differently :P).
So I woke up at 1PM when the landlord's daughter knocked on the upstairs door as a delivery had arrived for my friend. I then headed to Masonville for a massage at the spa that was there. It was unbelievably relaxing, and I definitely hope to do that again.
After the massage I went back to my friend's place until my aunt picked me up for dinner at a restaurant and bar nearby. After that I came back home and now I'm watching Glee.
That's all for now until tomorrow when I can maybe edit this and add some more.
So big deal today, because today marks the ONE HUNDREDTH POST of the blog. Yes that's right, one hundred posts of this blog that I started in September. I hope to keep going until I've done this for a full year. I mean I don't know for sure if I will be able to reach 365 days, but I'm hoping to.
Anyway, for today I woke up at 12:30PM and had my usual shower.
My friend's landlord came over at 1PM because a gas company guy was coming to check the furnace and carbon monoxide levels which turned out fine. I then found out that I needed to tell him that if my friend's leaving for next year, he needs to tell her by January 15th and frankly to me, it's completely ridiculous. His lease doesn't end till April and therefore he shouldn't have to give notice until the end of February. So who knows what will happen there, but I sense there's going to be problems in the near future.
Around 4 o'clock I headed to Masonville again to get Glee Season 1 Volume 1, and deposited some Christmas money since ScotiaBank had been closed for the last five days. I also have a relaxing massage at 2:50pm at the Spa over at Masonville Mall. Hopefully it's nice.
Anyway I came home, and watched Glee most of tonight. That's it for tonight! Sean
So after I got to bed at 1:30AM due to a bad headache I had, I woke up briefly at 8AM but then headed back to bed. I then got up again at 12PM.
Once I got up I watched the rest of Hell's Kitchen which I hadn't finished, and then headed over to the mall at 2PM. I got there and headed for Zellers to get a few more groceries, and then my autism kind of "flared up" when at the cash register because I had gotten a pair of swim trunks (I'm planning to go to the YMCA this week but I forgot to bring some shorts to wear) and basically kept apologizing to the woman for having lost the tag on it because then she had to call the clothing, who then hung up on her accidentally so then she had to call AGAIN. It was just a huge mess.
When I finally got home I watched Miss Congeniality and then A Cinderella Story. And now I'm watching House. My other friend who lives at my friend's place in London that doesn't constantly tease me is also coming home today so that's nice even if I rarely see her anyway.
So I woke up about 11AM and took my usual shower and such. I then went out with my parents and got McDonald's for lunch with my sister, and my sister-in-law at her house. We stayed there for a chat and then headed back home where I packed the rest of my stuff for my stay in London as my parents were going away.
I got to London around 1:30PM and watched television for a bit. I then headed at 3PM to the mall to do boxing day shopping. I got a brand new Sony DVD Player for only $50 which was a great price. I also got Sister Act 2, Degrassi Season 5, Lemony Snicket's a Series of Unfortunate Events, Miss Congeniality, Glee Volume 2 CD, Hell's Kitchen Season 2, and Julie & Julia.
After shopping I returned home, my hands nearly breaking because of the milk I bought. (Obviously heavy, that and chocolate milk too).
I then just watched Degrassi most of the night and here I am. One thing I find interesting about me is that there are so many people who I talk to despite this autism I still make friends. Go figure, I guess I just have the type of personality that grabs people. There have been few people I made bad first impressions with, and frankly I'm glad. :)
So another short blog today but still eventful I suppose. I woke up at 11AM and woke to find a bag full of different chocolates on my bed from Santa. Yes I still believe in him so shush. There was Kinder Eggs, a giant Kinder Egg, a huge Kit Kat bar, little Santa chocolates, Hershey's Hugs, and a box of the Aero Bar Singles. I also got some money from my Mom and Dad since I never can pick out a gift for them to get me anymore so I just ask for money.
At noon we headed to Elgin Manor to have Christmas dinner with my grandmother and grandfather. Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, really excellent stuffing (though still nothing compared to what my aunt made Sunday) and some mixed vegetables.
After this, my parents and I headed home (with me getting to drive the convertible home which was of course really cool). We got the house a little more ready for Christmas with my Mom's side of the family and then my aunt Fiona and cousin Alex arrived. I chatted with Alex while Fiona and my parents chatted. At 2PM, the cab arrived with my grandparents (my grandmother is unfortunately in a wheelchair from now on so we had to get a ParaTransit for them) and we got them inside and comfortable.
We had a wonderful time, with me receiving a bit more money from my aunt Sandie (who arrived at 3:15PM, and then just talked until 4PM when the cab came back to get my grandparents.
After my grandparents and my aunt Sandie and her husband (my uncle) Zoli left, Fiona and Alex, my parents and I all just sat around and talked for a little bit more and then they headed home. My Mom was feeling tired so she went to bed for a while, while my Dad and I went to see Sherlock Holmes. It was a really good film, and Robert Downey Junior did a spectacular job as Holmes. I'll say it wasn't Avatar, but it was still quite good.
Once the film ended, Dad and I headed home where I packed my clothes and then watched some television and played Star Wars again.
And just so everyone knows for the main purpose of my blog, autistically the only thing that happened was that I had gotten a very beautiful card for my parents and hadn't fully read it to see it said "We pray together" and since we don't go to church or anything it kind of didn't make sense I bought a religious card. BUT the autism caused me to not let it go when my aunt Fiona brought it up. So I kept bringing it up several times until my Mom had to tell me to let it go, otherwise I probably would have kept going for a bit longer about it. But oh well, that's life for you.
So I woke up at 1:30PM and just showered and got ready for my family to arrive. I played Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2 still. My family arrived and I took care of Isla and Mason for a bit, and even fed Mason for the first time me feeding a baby.
After a while, my need to have some alone time took over and so I headed downstairs and played more Star Wars. This is part of my autism, and while I know even people without autism need alone time, for me if I don't actually GET alone time, I wind up becoming very awkward and sometimes very reserved which isn't really me.
I wish I could say more happened, but it was basically a lot of family stuff, and gave my parents their gifts and a really great card I found.
So I woke up at 10:30AM and got my shower and headed out for work. I picked Chris up and headed to the movies with him. When we got there we found out Alvin & the Chipmunks The Squeakuel was sold out. However I took Chris back and checked with them and they had just enough seats at the very front. So we saw the film which was okay, and then I took him home at 2 PM.
I then headed back to the mall to buy some groceries we hadn't picked up Monday. I then headed home.
At 3PM I headed out to pick up my best friends Jean and Mallory, whom I have known since Grade 1. We headed to Boston Pizza for dinner, then headed to Rogers Video and picked up 500 Days of Summer, and The Proposal, which were both great movies. After this we headed home, watched the movie, caught up about our lives, and then I took them home.
With my autism, I found that once again I MAYBE shared a few more things than I should of, but nothing bad, just couldn't shut up at times. Like the fact I had to prove when Harry Potter 1 came out, and I went on IMDB with my Blackberry just to prove it to them. It was kind of silly of me to do, but they didn't mind it.
After I took them home, I watched some T.V. and some Star Wars too.
So while I thought I had posted yesterday, I guess I hadn't. I'm getting worse at this what with Christmas being almost upon me. But just quick info about what happened yesterday: I got up at 6:30AM and wanted to shoot myself due to being up so damn early and kind of late the night before. I still went to bed earlier than normal but it still was late none the less.
I headed to my exam at about 7:30 which was silly since the roads and traffic wound up clear and not busy at all. But it's better to be safe than sorry. When I got to school I headed quickly to the main building to talk to one of the people in charge of Exam Accommodations to ask about what I'm to do for the course I have that's going to be on Main Campus. I wanted to do this because while my autism definitely makes it difficult to concentrate on most exams in a room full of students, since the course I have is a Foundations in Singing course, I figured more than likely the exams will be of the singing or theory variety, and both of these I'm relatively strong in as I almost got to passing Grade 2 theory (I know it sounds silly, but Grade 2 theory is about the theory level you'd be learning in either your last year of high school music or even what you'd be learning in University) but I quit my lessons so as a result I didn't finish and take the exam for said theory, and as for singing I'm at around a Grade 9 (again end of high school/start of university) level according to the Royal Conservatory of Music. Also, again, didn't pass the Grade 9 singing as I quit my vocal lessons before I finished due to my school work getting to me and causing it to be more difficult balancing school, singing, and my extra-curricular activities. So I wanted to ask just so I would know, and I decided I'll take the first exam with them but if it turns out easy as anything, I will stop the writing with them for the course.
After talking to the adviser, I headed over to my exam and wrote it. I then called Dad to give me a ride home, and when I got home I wound up playing Assassin's Creed 2 for most of the day and finally finished the game. I still have extra stuff to do in it, but at least I finished the storyline.
I did for a short time fall asleep at 9:00, but only for around twenty-five minutes. I then continued watching TV and playing some Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2 for a bit.
I got to bed around 3AM or so after watching Project Runway and the finale of the most recent season of Top Chef.
TUESDAY
Today I woke up briefly at 6:30AM as I had forgotten to reset my alarm for a later time. But I turned it off and went back to sleep. I then was woken up by my Mom who was heading to London with my Dad and she wanted me to get up as it was halfway through the day. However, after she left I kind of....went back to sleep. I finally got up for real at 2:30PM and had my shower and the usual brushing of the teeth, etc.
At about 3:15PM my Dad brought home my nephew Mason over for baby-sitting again. He's so adorable and I'm definitely getting better and holding him without him crying because I feel more confident and don't think I'm going to break him.
Around 3:30PM I decided to go do my running around I had to get done. I headed to the bank first to deposit a cheque for school stuff, then headed over to Wal-Mart. I bought the presents for my parents that I had kind of left to last minute, but I still hope they like them. I then headed to Zellers as I was looking also for the new Family Guy Star Wars DVD which luckily (this is me being sarcastic) they didn't have at Wal-Mart so I had to drive over to the mall just to find one single DVD. However, while I was there I was able to get my mother's present properly wrapped.
When I did finally get home I put the gift under the tree, and then helped my parents baby-sit Mason till it was time for him to go home. After this I played some Star Wars again, watched the Family Guy Star Wars DVD which was hilarious, watched Sex and the City The Movie again, and here I am.
So just before I blog, I just wanted to say that I apologize if my title of this post offends those of other religions. I celebrate Christmas and enjoy this song, and since today I had a Christmas dinner, it's why I'm using this title.
So I got up around 10:15AM after going to bed at 5AM due to me being sort of sick. Nothing serious, just that I was sick. When I woke up I got my shower, and then had a cup of tea while I waited for us to leave.
Around 11:30AM my parents and I picked up my grandfather and headed up to Kitchener for a visit with my aunt and cousin. We had a nice time talking, got an EB Games gift card, and had dinner. It was my favourite mashed potatoes (potatoes again, :P), great stuffing (actually....was in the bird not in a box, not that there's a problem with a box stuffing...), some turkey too. We just chatted and caught up, and then I headed with my parents and grandfather back home.
When we got near home, my mother woke me up to say I had been snoring...which was embarrassing. I then stayed awake, and when I got home I had to head right back out and pick up Chris.
I took Chris to Wendy's again, then we headed back to my house to watch the end of Harry Potter. After this I took Chris home, went home myself, studied one last time before tomorrow's exam, and that was that.
Even though it has only been one day, it feels like forever since I posted. So anyway, I apologize for not posting yesterday, I just slept so late and then became sort of busy (not really :P) that I just completely forgot.
To begin I had stayed up till 9am, yes NINE, which was bad I know but after Avatar, which sucked up about four hours of my night, I just didn't want to go to bed. That's how it is for me with my autism, since something interrupted my usual night of watching television and going to bed, my body compensates and adds an extra four hours that went missing into my awake time. In this case, since I've been generally getting to bed around 5AM, it added on another 4, meaning the 9AM bedtime. Once this happened, I slept until...4PM which also again was bad, but what can you do?
When I got up at 4PM, I grabbed a shower and then just walked around packing stuff up as my parents were picking me up. At about 6:30 I made a review of Avatar for YouTube due to it being so good.
My parents picked me up at 8PM and drove us home. I then played Assassin's Creed 2, and went to bed.
TODAY
Now today I woke up around 11:30, and headed for the shower as usual. Once done in the shower I got ready for work.
I picked up Chris at 1PM and we went to Wendy's again, and then back to my house to watch more of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.
At 3PM I took Chris home, went to EB Games and bought Sing It! Pop Hits, headed home and played it for a while, and my grandfather came over for dinner around 4PM.
After dropping Gramps off at 6PM, my parents and I went and saw What Happened to the Morgans? It was a pretty good film, a good number of laughs.
After that we came home, I played Assassin's Creed 2 for a bit more, and here we are. Not so much activity today obviously.
So I got up at 1PM and had my shower and usual stuff. Then I called a cab and headed over to MD Management to talk about financial stuff that I'm not going to actually mention on here as this is a public blog.
After this I decided I would go get a new DVD player at Masonville, but I then changed my mind and decided to head home. I then just had dinner and watched some movies until 10:30PM rolled around.
At 10:30PM I headed to Silvercity and got in line for AVATAR. When I saw this film, it just blew my mind, more so in 3D. The story was fantastic, the special effects were superb, and the movie all around was just a mind-blowing experience. I highly recommend it to EVERY SINGLE PERSON on the planet to see this film!
Autistic wise, today I kind of talked a bit more than I should of in the film so I wish I hadn't done that, but sometimes I just can't stay completely quiet in a film. Go figure.
So I woke up at 3PM today, ouch is all I can really say. So I basically got up, had my usual shower, studied, and then watched some television. Around 7PM I went upstairs and said bye to the girls because tomorrow was when one of them was leaving, and two others were leaving on Friday.
At 1:50AM I headed over to Lauren's to hang out one last time before she was going home to Texas. We hung out and then both Alex and Ashley came in. It was a lot of fun because we created a video of us singing Super Trouper from Mamma Mia/ABBA. After this we just talked for a bit longer, and then I headed home. And now here we are.
Okay so today I woke up at 1PM and watched MADTV. I then had my shower and headed to the mall. I went to Masonville and quickly went to Scotiabank to deposit some money, and then headed to the theatre. I went to see the Blind Side with Sandra Bullock and it was an AMAZING film. One of the best I've ever seen, it had such an emotional and wonderful film. Sandra Bullock is seriously an amazing actor, and knows how to use her talent to the utmost of one's ability.
After the movie I headed over to Cinnabon, got a cinnamon bun, but then realized I stupidly forgot to get my ticket for Avatar this Thursday so I had to go back and get it and thankfully the lines had cleared up so I didn't have to wait for more than one person. I then called a taxi to head home. On Richmond, closing into Richmond and Windemere, someone I guess had been hit and as a result my cab wound up a $20 ticket instead of a $10.00. It really is unfortunate and I hope the person is okay.
When I finally got home I had dinner, and the Cinnabon, and then just watched some television.
Hey Everyone! So I got up at about 11AM and took a shower as usual. My parents had to take me to Wal-Mart because I had to get some food for the week. They were going away for a couple days and I was going to be staying at my friend's place again for the week so I needed to make sure I had some food for it.
After this we headed to London, and stopped at Kelsey's for lunch. My parents then dropped me off at my friend's place and I just did some studying. After this around 6:30 I headed over across the street to Lauren's to visit with her as she's leaving Thursday. We just chatted about some school stuff, and some random other stuff, and then I headed back to my friend's.
Basically the rest of the night was put towards studying, watching Canada's Worst Driver finale in which I laughed my butt off, and some Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. This week might be dull for my blog people because I'm not going to be going out much until Thursday, so obviously not much interaction with people. It might wind up more like a journal this week so that's just a warning for all of you. :) But I'd love it if you do keep reading.
So I woke at about 2PM and had a shower. I watched television till around 4:50PM and then headed to work.
I took Chris to Wendy's again and they were out of Root Beer. So I got him his usual meal though and just had a coke for myself in place of his root beer as he said he didn't want anything. But the thing that got to me was the fact that because he had no drink to eat his food, he wound up wasting the entire cheeseburger and all his fries. He actually took only two bites of his cheeseburger and said 'I'm done'. It was slightly unfortunate just because of obvious reasons, all that wasted food just because he didn't have his usual drink. It's just kind of just sad he didn't understand how bad that was of him to do, but I suppose that's his autism. I understand I may not always get ALL my food done, but I'd never waste and entire cheeseburger!
After this we went to my house and started watching Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the actual movie this time. I then took Chris home.
After work, I studied some more, and then here I am writing the blog. Sorry for the short post. Sean
So I woke up around 11AM and took my usual shower. I then headed to work at 12:30 and took Christ to Wendy's. After Wendy's I took him to see The Princess and the Frog which actually turned out to be a really good film.
After work, I headed home as we were going to relatives for dinner. We got ready and headed to London and got to the condo which was actually really nice. We had ham, scalloped potatoes and baked beans. I frankly only had ham and a roll because of my pickyness when eating. Interesting thing to note, being picky when it comes to food is actually a common part of having Autism. It generally is because of either texture, temperature, or even flavour can cause one to not like certain foods.
We headed home around 7:!5PM and when I got home I basically just made some cookies, and watched the finale of both Project Runway and Models of the Runway.
So I woke at about 1PM today, kind of groggy, and barely really watched MAD TV when it was on but I still sort of stayed half-conscious while I watched it. Around 2PM I finally got out of bed and took a shower, however I hate getting out of bed because it's so freaking COLD in my room. The fire was even on in the room outside mine yet mine is still cold as all hell. (Interesting since "hell" is suppose to be extremely hot, so I guess my room is it frozen over :P Minus the torture and whatever else people believe is suppose to be in the supposed place. Hehe) MOVING ON!
Once I took my shower I headed back downstairs with a hot cup of tea and played some Assassin's Creed 2 before heading to work.
I got Chris around 4PM and took him to Wendy's for dinner, grabbing a Junior Cheeseburger myself which I hate as I had a two year hiatus from fast food, now I'm eating it again :(. Though...least it's the item that has the least amount of fat, calories, and all that gross stuff. (Even the salads have more fat and calories than the burger with only cheese and ketchup.)
After Wendy's, we headed to Rogers so I could drop off the movies I had rented and then headed to Pinafore Park to look at the Fantasy of Lights...even though it wasn't all lit up since it was still slightly daylight out. Some of the displays had fallen down because of the huge windstorm we had two days ago.
Once we drove out of the park we headed to my house and watched the special features of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. It was odd as when we tried to watch the second, and third features he almost grabbed the remote to stop it, and yet when we finished the other ones we went back to watch the ones we had stopped previously. Chris sometimes is confusing to me as one minute he's watching, and the next he doesn't get violent at all but he does try and change what's on the screen even if it means yanking the remote control out of your hand. The problem is, when he's wanting it changed, his words that I could normally understand become garbled and I don't know if he's wanting me to stop it, fast forward, or something else. Maybe I'll figure it out in time, but he doesn't have this outbursts often so it's difficult to figure out if at all. I think when I was younger, I may have had this problem on a lesser degree because of my autism. I didn't speak in garbled tones, but I still would yank the converter out of my friends' or a family member's hands because I didn't like what was on. I've gotten over it now more or less, but still I could possibly have this problem latent in me.
Once 6PM rolled around I took Chris home and then headed to the mall to get my hair highlighted again. It's quite nice, it's a much blonder version than I had before, and there's even streaks of reddish-brown (that's burgundy right?) here and there. I got a lot of compliments from the hair stylists saying it brings out my face more, and apparently I have a nicely structured face...which I guess that's nice? Oh, and apparently perfect hair which more than just my hair stylists Devon and Sarah have told me. Go figure.
Anyway, after the hair appointment I came home, worked a bit on the role play forum I'm an administrator for, and then played Assassin's Creed till now.
So I got up at about...3PM today. I actually did get up at 12 to help my Mom with her iPod as it was giving her trouble, but no big deal, just had to reboot the iPod and it fixed itself. I then headed back to bed which is good because the basement is freezing until the fireplace is put on.
I finally woke up for real around 3:00PM and took a shower. At about 3:30PM my Dad came home and he had a special surprise, that of my nephew Mason, and what was more, it was our turn to babysit! So we all basically gave Mason a lot of attention till about 4:10 when I had to head to my Doctor's appointment. While there I got a muscle test done, meaning my doctor placed his hands on mine and I had to provide resistance and push against the weight. Let's just say...I now medically have "lousy" muscles which is just quite sad. I'm going to need to start working out more from now on to build the muscle strength. I had a lot of worries because of me also being a hypochondriac so if it weren't for that I'd be sensible and just be more relaxed and not so worried when one thing goes wrong. I don't think this time it was the autism really, it's just another interesting thing about my mind :P.
After the doctor's I came home and played with Mason some more, however I'll admit I must have problems holding him because he cries whenever I hold him. I couldn't seem to get off this thought because my mind was saying "keep going with it", a problem with autism being that I linger on things more than I should.
Once Mason had been taken home I just watched some television which was hard to find something good as Thursday night television is pretty bad. I don't like Survivor anymore so there goes that option, and no good shows are on because of UFC (on Spike so no CSI) and there's never anything good on ShowCase or Slice Network Thursdays either. So I just kind of channel surfed this time.
After that I'm here writing this post, so it's off to bed for me! Sean
Yes I forgot yesterday, I'm sorry everyone. This is how I get when I get distracted by video games, they become my whole life because I use it both as a comfort tool and a distraction from life.
Yesterday I woke at 12PM and got picked up by my parents. When I got home around 1:30PM I started doing some laundry and then around 2PM I fell off to sleep. I hadn't got a good night's rest once again, because thanks to the autism, my mind was too stimulated by the television, and the computer that it couldn't settle down enough to let me sleep. So I slept till 4:30PM and then got up and took a shower again since I felt meh from the mid-day snooze. I then just watched some television, studied a bit, and played Assassin's Creed.
Today however was a different day. I woke up at 1PM and realized I was no longer getting texts like I should, so I called my friend and apparently my friends have gotten my texts either four hours after or only half the message.
And now I'm here. I'll update this tonight if I remember to, but I'm about to head to my high school for a visit so I should be going.
So after the visit to my high school I went grocery shopping and also bought the new Harry Potter movie. It had a preview of the final films for Deathly Hallows and the preview looked awesome! It also gave an idea of what to expect from the new Harry Potter theme park opening at Universal Orlando which I CANNOT wait to see. I then headed over to the variety store and picked up Julie & Julia but my autism kind of sparked up as I was talking to Jeff, the owner's son who was working. Basically I kind of droned on and on about how I was slightly up in the air with school.
After this I came home, helped make dinner (Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, and Crescent Rolls) and watched Julie & Julia.
At 9PM I watched the Glee finale which was simply put, AMAZING! Every bit of it was fantastic, and the way they ended it, was just perfect! I cannot wait for the rest of the season, but unfortunately I have to wait till April 13 >_< for it to continue. But at least I'll have something to watch when my exams and break happen! And I have Housewives and Brothers & Sisters to keep me busy until then!
So I got up at 1:30PM and took a shower and such as usual.
Around 3:30 PM I went to a Writing Multiple Choice info session which was interesting, but I might go a second time simply for refresher in the new year. I then headed back home and had dinner. After that I worked on some studying for my Personality Theory final.
At 6:30PM I headed to class and listened to more speeches. It was a relatively dull day though I did find out I got an 82 in my Process Analysis. While it was lower than my last speech, it's still in the 80s and I think my marks will bounce around in there for most of the course.
After this I headed home and just watched some South Park, Canada's Worst Drivers (which is hilarious by the way :P) and some Family Guy.
So I woke up at about 12PM and got ready to head to London. I took a shower and then packed up and headed out.
At 4PM I had fashion show practice. For this I had to do my walk again as there had been technical difficulties last time so we weren't able to get our videos of our walks from week. We then got to know one another more about each other telling interesting information about ourselves, and a common thing about it seemed to be that many of us had our lives in "shambles" or at least not knowing what to do after school. After this though we paired up, me getting paired up with my new acquaintance David who's from South Africa. We decided to do a sort of opposite thing, so using the opposite feet, our poses being opposite of each other, and then opposite feet walking back. But then accidentally we both used the same feet to start walking, but I suppose it happens, I think there was just confusion on both our parts. :P
After fashion show practice I headed home for a bit, had dinner (Boston Pizza) which for some reason we were out of delivery area online so I had to call them instead. The girls upstairs came down for a bit to chat, and it was really nice to see them again. I found out that they're staying next year so at least I'll know some people lol. (I've tried to not use lol in my blogs, but that's all I can think of right now.)
At 8:30PM, it was play rehearsal and we just did a full run through. I'm now both Ticket Seller and Vendor, and I also put my name forward to be Humpty Dumpty as A: he has a lot of lines that I know I could get memorized, B: I like his character and it could be a lot of fun being him, and C: I felt I didn't do a great job at showcasing myself and my talent in my audition, so it's kind of just a thought that I'd do better just showing my talent by being the role. But we'll see, maybe I'll get it, or maybe I'll just get more to do.
After this I headed home, watched I Love You, Beth Cooper, and Bruno which was just horrible.
So just to note I'm going to fore-go talking about yesterday as I'm hoping you readers will forgive me.
So why my title? Simple, I watched 2012 again today haha. It's an interesting film, and I couldn't help but go out with my friend to see it. Go figure.
So I got up at 11:00 AM and kind of just sat there because I wasn't ready for waking up namely because the basement was freezing as our fireplace is not working -_-. When I finally got out of bed it was 11:30AM. I got up and sat in the living room for a while and did a crossword as I thought someone else was going to have the shower, namely because my mother asked, so I said no problem and then she went downstairs instead so I just finally decided, 'okay I'll have the shower first then.' :P
After the shower I headed out the door for work and took Chris to Wendy's and then followed it by going to my house and watching Night at the Museum 2. After this, I took Chris home and came back home for a short while. I got re-dressed as I was just in running around type clothes (sweat pants, t-shirt, etc) and I was going out with my friend so I needed to put on some nicer clothes.
I then headed and met my friend at the theatre and we saw 2012 as I said. Afterwords my friend and I quickly went off to Chris's home as I needed to get my time sheet signed. Once signed, we headed off to Boston Pizza for dinner. I got the Homestyle Lasagna, my friend the Chicken Ciabotta Sandwich. After dinner we quickly rushed up to my work place (the actual main office, not Chris's home) and dropped off my time sheet as it's due on Monday morning at 8:30AM and I'm sorry but I will not be able to get up THAT early just to drop off a time sheet. I then drove my friend home.
After this I headed home, watched South Park, and now I'm about to head to bed after playing Assassin's Creed 2.
So today what did I do? Well I woke up at 2:50PM and got ready for my final Organization class of the semester. I showered, then headed out.
I got to class and it was a pretty boring class as usual, but we learned some interesting information about how people rate workers.
I then headed home and watched most of Sex and the City the Movie, followed by Simpsons and South Park. I then headed to King's Players. We played In the Manner of the Word, God Freeze, Change (which I wanted to play but had played God Freeze just prior to), and finally Wax Museum where I once again prevailed, but this time I made it to the end. It can be difficult to always chance position though, because you could wind up in the same position for like two minutes. But I made it to the final two this time and I didn't have to wait for one more person to be eliminated because it was both myself and this guy Chris who won the game.
After King's Players I headed up to Christina's Pub and had some tea and garlic bread. Last time they burned it, and my body acted up, this time though it was delicious, and my body's fine.
I see my parents again tomorrow which I'm glad about since I haven't since Sunday, and I can't wait to play Assassin's Creed 2 again because it's a great game.
So today was really a great day. To begin with I woke up at about 11:30AM and at 12 the post arrived dropping off my delivery of the wooden sword I ordered. It only cost me $20 and it's just awesome! I'll upload a picture below so you can see it :)
After this I went to Christina's and then headed to see Ninja Assassin with Lauren, and then headed home afterwards. I had some dinner as I didn't have anything at Christina's, and then constructed the sword stand I got (which was only $5 but still very nice craftsmanship), however one of the damn holes for the screws wouldn't work, and instead I pulled it out accidentally with the screw itself.
But after just deciding to use two of the three screw so it would still stay together, I watched Glee which just was AMAZING. And the finale next week I think is going to be so unbelievably awesome it just makes me think 'WHERE DO THEY COME UP WITH ALL OF THESE WONDERFUL STORIES!?'. And now I'm watching the last bit of Dead Like Me.
So now that everything else is done, I shall bid you all adieu. Sean
So I woke up at 12:15PM but wound up kind of relaxing for an extra twenty-five minutes. I then got up, had a shower, and headed out the door. I got to the main building and got my eggs as usual and headed to class. We learned some more boring stuff, and I got a message basically saying I didn't get the position I went for on Sunday for Students Council, but yet the position was being re-opened but I shouldn't try again to put it bluntly. But whatever, there are apparently some more chances in the new year, but for now I'm content with being in the King's Players play, Event Staff and Fashion Show.
After class I headed home and just watched some more of Dead Like Me. Great show everyone, I really recommend it. It's basically about a girl who dies from being hit by a falling toilet seat from the MIR Space Station that's slowly falling to Earth (please note this was made back in 2003 :P) and she winds up becoming a grim reaper. As she learns the reasons for being a reaper, taking the souls of people just before their death so they don't feel the pain, she begins to better understand herself and while she can't really see her family anymore as she doesn't look like herself anymore to the outside world, she still watches over them in some ways.
After watching Dead Like Me I watched some South Park and the Simpsons, and that was basically it. And here we are, another post done, and basically almost done school. I have class technically on Thursday, but both seem like a waste of time basically. One isn't much else but another lecture prior to exams, and the other we already had an exam so it's also going to be a lecture too. So I might just not go and instead just wait around for King's Players. I'm only not going home early for KP because I hate missing it so much.
So night all! Sean
PS If you're wondering what autistic things happened today, it was just my lingering over the communications officer thing, but once I talked to my best friend Lauren I felt better as she doesn't mind me ranting to her :P. So night all!
Hey Everyone! So I got up at 1PM and thanks to having slept about ten hours I was able to actually get up. I then basically just did a bit more work on my speech, and worked on my reflection paper for Personality Theory.
At 6:30PM I headed to speech class and got to listen to two wonderful speeches about how to keep a man, and how to keep a woman, spoken by a couple in the class. I did my speech on how to pull an all-nighter, a speech about how to select the proper cake, and a speech by my friend John about how to properly improv.
After speech I headed home, and just watched Heroes, and finished my reflection paper and here we are.
Night all! I'm going to see if I can sleep this time, hopefully didn't get too much stimulation from the tv to keep me up for around another four hours. Sean
Hey everyone! So it was a busy, busy day. I woke up around 11AM and got ready for the day. My parents and I headed to London as I had an interview with the King's Students Council as I was going for the Communications Officer position. I really hope I did well as the position means a lot to me. If I don't get it, like I said in my interview, I will move on and persevere, but like I said I really do hope I get the position.
After the interview I headed home and just watched some television till 6:30. I then returned to King's for the Fashion Show practice, where we watched clips from Top Model and other runway shows. We then did our walk, and were taped for it so we can see how we did and will be getting critique/feedback when they send it out to us. Luckily everyone will only get their own, so we don't have to see them on Youtube. *laughs*
After the Fashion show practice I headed home, had dinner and watched Desperate Housewives and Brothers & Sisters. And here we are.
Sorry everyone for being late again! It's just gotten difficult to remember when you have so many other things on your mind with exams on it's way.
I basically woke up yesterday at 11AM, and got ready for work with Chris. I took him to see New Moon, which I was shocked he wanted to see. He seemed to be okay with it, but man he talks a lot in movies and talks loud. I talk at times too...but I generally try to whisper a bit more...though sometimes even I don't do that.
After the movie we went to the book store and I talked with the book store ladies I know well, and then let Chris look at some of the preschool books.
Once the bookstore was done, I took Chris home and then headed home myself. When I got home I just watched television as my parents headed to the movies. Around 8 I finally made myself dinner, and around 11:30 I started playing Assassin's Creed. I then got to bed at 2:30, but got up again at four. It was difficult to sleep last night because of how I've been feeling. I haven't been sick, but just been having problems with my body, namely allergies and a pain in my right leg. I don't know why my right leg was in pain, but I hope it's going to get better soon. (It's feeling close to normal today, Sunday, but still needs a bit of work.)
Hope everyone had a good day yesterday. Talk to you later tonight. Sean
So woke up at 11:30AM and got ready to head home. When I got there I basically was feeling so-so because my allergies have been acting up. So I took a Benadryl and headed out to EB Games. Finally I was able to buy Assassin's Creed 2 and man the box it came in was huge because of the figure of the main character Ezio came with it.
At 4PM I headed out to pick up Chris, but Chris wasn't home yet when I got there. I had gotten a call on my way there but of course couldn't pick it up with the new cell phone driving law. I plan on following it and therefore unless I'm in the passenger seat, no talking on phones for me while driving.
When they did arrive around 4:20, Chris and I headed to Wendy's for food, and then to Pinafore Park. The Fantasy of Lights was getting set up so we were able to see all the decorations before they were lit up.
We then headed home, and like I figured he would, we watched Bring It On. For Chris, any movie featuring cheerleaders, or just pretty girls, is his type of film. It's pretty funny but that's how he is. He also seems to randomly tell when certain movies were released or when others are being released because for him, that's the topic he sticks to. But unlike me, he doesn't know when to stop about it, or he'll change topic randomly and then come back to it later. I do this too, but don't constantly go on and on. Long as I made my point, I stop, but he keeps on going :P.
After this I took Chris home, had chicken and mashed potatoes (yum) for dinner, and played Assassin's Creed 2 most of the night till now. Now I'm headed to bed.
So I woke up at about 12:30PM and headed to class about 1:30. I had to skip out at 2:30 so I could make a Learning Skills presentation on Preparing for Multiple Choice. I always have problems with it so hopefully I'll do better next time with the skills I learned.
After that I rushed back to King's to get to the rest of my Psych of Work class as I missed about an hour and a half of it.
Once class was over I headed home to have dinner, followed by waiting around for King's Players.
At 10PM I went to King's Players and we played "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly", "Change", and "World's Worst". I then headed home and here I am. A pretty boring night, sorry all.... Till Tomorrow, Sean
Hey Everyone! So I woke up at 12:30PM today and it was pretty much a day like most days. I showered, brushed my teeth and then got ready to head to White Oaks Mall. I went just because there was some stuff there I couldn't find at Masonville so I had to spend around $20 just to get to and from. Though at the same time, White Oaks is so much larger nowadays so it was kind of nice to see how it had changed over all these years.
When I got back about 6:30PM I made dinner (Ravioli...yay...) and just relaxed and watched some of Dead Like Me. Following this a "Where Are They Now" edition of the Biggest Loser was on and I just watched that until 9. Then of course was Glee, why it's my favourite show, I'll never know. But I love it all the same, and always will :P.
After Glee I watched Star Trek (the 2009 film) again, followed by more Dead Like Me with a bit of Desperate Housewives thrown in there just to stir the pot.
That's basically it everyone! I have to get to bed early as I do NOT want to miss anything tomorrow as I have a Learning Skills presentation at 3:30 and I also want to try and get in my reflection paper for Personality Theory in sometime soon :P.
Talk to you all tomorrow! Sean
P.S. Try and leave some comments people! Just so I know what you guys are thinking these days about the blog. :)
Hey everyone! So I woke up at about 12PM and had to get out of bed this time because I decided to place my alarm clock far away from me so I actually have to get out of bed to turn it off. Doing so lets me actually get out of bed and therefore prevents me from falling back to sleep.
I headed to class and it was pretty boring as usual and then I headed back to the house.
I then started just watching some tv, working on some information for the Communications Officer interview, and then headed over to the Western Rec centre to do some more swimming. It's probably going to be slow going unlike if I ran on the machines, or used the weights but it's still a form of working out. I just need to get some new goggles as I hate getting water in my eyes. Now I know many people do have this problem but they eventually seem to get over it, me? I don't know if I ever will because the problem is living with autism, we're VERY sensitive to certain things. Including things around our eyes, in this case pool water, I even have the problem showering but it took me until I was 20 before I finally could put my face in the shower water and not hate it but I still had to keep my eyes closed.
After swimming I came home and just watched some more television while also just talking to my friends on MSN, and I'm now watching Sister Act.
So both an eventful and uneventful day. I got up about 1:55PM and had to rush off to a meeting with a learning skills counselor so as to get more help in writing multiple choice which are still my worst form of testing.
After the meeting I headed back home just to pass the time until class. I worked on a third part of my proposal I had forgotten for the Communications Officer position I'm interviewing for Sunday. I really hope I get it because I really think I can make the new position awesome and maybe if I'm lucky this year, I could possibly get it next year too.
At 6:30PM I headed to class, it was Speech again and we learned about sucrose/glucose, fear of flying, and of course what was probably the best speech ever: How to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse. It was a laugh riot and just so original I actually want him to get like 100%. I then got my speech mark back and amazingly I got 88%! I'm so freaking excited it's not even funny.
After class I headed to Lauren's for a while and we just watched a few YouTube videos before I headed back to the house. I then watched Heroes, Jon Stewart, and Colbert and fell asleep for like 20 minutes. I then am here watching some more television and am about to sleep. Night all! Sean
So another dull day yesterday hence the late post, sorry about it happening again. To begin with I was up for a while and slept for like 4AM till 12PM. I then got up and watched some television and then packed my bag with a towel and swim suit. I then headed to Campus Recreation where I swam in the pool. Sadly I unfortunately got pretty cold even though the pool was warm, the air above it oddly was chilly instead of other pools where it has like a much higher humidity, that wasn't the case this time.
After swimming I went back to the house and then headed over to Lauren's as we were going out for dinner and a movie. We took a cab to Masonville and quickly ran to both EB Games (as my power cord is missing but I don't know, I think the DS itself is dying because the charge light appears and then goes off...anyway we then went and got our tickets for 2012 and then headed to dinner.
After dinner we headed back to the theatre and got seats, luckily not front row this time but at the same time they weren't like in center because it was a full theater tonight. Even with so many wanting to see New Moon, it was still very full.
Anyway the film was really good though I'm sure more people will take the film as a way of thinking that the film is a prediction of the future which it's not. Sure the world might come to an end some day but it can't be just plotted for a specific date, it's just silly.
Hey everyone! So I stayed up all night again but I think I'm going to be able to get sleep tonight because I won't have anything to do tomorrow morning thankfully.
I went over to the Used Book Store on Campus to get my cheque for the books that sold. I then took the rest of the books to the actual Bookstore and sold them for money though not by much since it was only like...for $1 to $2 which was rather annoying.
I then headed back to the place I stay and dropped off the one book I had kept. Once I did that I headed to Masonville Mall and got some stuff I really needed, like a charger for my Nintendo DS.
I then headed back home and popped in my Glee CD and listened to that followed by sleeping till 5:30 since the Variety Show was on at 6. I headed over to the show and performed Don't Stop Believing. It went really well and I was able to stay for the whole show as I got my energy back around 7pm when the show actually started.
I really wish I wasn't staying up so late all the time though, but like I mentioned before, keeping my tv and computer on keep me overstimulated and as a result, my brain just can't settle down properly. Plus, sleeping problems are often consistent with Asperger's Syndrome and Autism, so go figure. Night all! Sean
Hey Everyone! Man I'm getting behind on this, but I'll try and get back to it tomorrow if I can.
To begin with I got up at 12:30PM and got ready for class. I then headed to said classes and that really was all there was to it frankly...
I then got back from class and just sort of sat around doing nothing until around 8:30. I headed over to Masonville Mall and got in line for the lovely New Moon film. I swear the line up though were to the concession stand, it was so freaking long. When Ashley arrived and we finally got in I swear it was so hard finding seats. We got stuck front row so while our necks actually didn't get sore like I thought they would, we still had to crane our necks and look up.
The film itself was awesome. Amazing how much Taylor Lautner bulked up for that film, I can't help but wonder what his process was cause I'd definitely not mind having that erm physique I guess is the word, just so that like I'd probably wind up a LOT healthier and just wouldn't have to....hide my "gut" *insert laugh here*. But the rest of the film just was great, every thing about it just was excellent. But that's probably only cause I like the Twilight series. As a reviewer I watched on Youtube said "if you like Twilight then you'll like the film, but if you don't like Twilight only go if you want to see six guys shirtless for the entire film." Which is pretty hilarious frankly.
After that, Ash and I returned home, we talked briefly in Lauren's room as we didn't want to keep Roxanne up as she had an exam early morning. I then headed home and here we are.
Sorry I'm late in the post, but there wasn't much for me to post. To start with I got up at 1PM as I had a massage appointment at 2:40. I headed to the appointment and it wound up an excellent one, I felt so relaxed after it and I haven't had any more pain yet.
After the massage I had an appointment with Health Services to check this cough I'd had for ages. Turns out it was either just allergies or remnants of a cold. I believe it was the latter for me.
After that I headed back briefly to my house to drop off my prescription then headed to Masonville to do some grocery shopping and shopping for a serving tray as I got sick of always putting plates on my bed. It got crumbs everywhere which was just horrible.
Following Masonville I came home, watched the Top Model finale where the girl I wanted to win, won. Then I watched Glee where Rachel was crushing on Mr. Schuster and it was just funny to watch him try to tell her no.
I then went to bed. That's all for now everyone! Sean
To begin with I have been up all night and all day. I waited around till about 12PM and headed to King's to book some appointments that I needed to make. I then headed to my Personality Theory exam, which I found different than past ones. Instead of having tons of questions, in which two or more questions were the right answer, there were a lot more where only one was the right answer.
After the exam I headed home, watched some tv and also talked with the landlord at this place I'm hoping to stay at.
Around 9:15PM my friend Lauren came over with some information for me that I needed to know, and then she headed out and I just watched a bit more tv. I'm actually about to head to bed to finally get sleep.
So to begin with I got up at 4:40PM that's right, almost 5PM! Why? Well after the all-nighter Saturday night, and 5AM last night, it's obvious my body needed to sleep that long.
Once I finally got up I created a slide show I decided I needed for my speech. I made the slide, sent it to myself and then grabbed a shower. At about 6 I headed to my friend Lauren's to grab a USB drive to put the slide show on. We then headed to class.
During class we listened to several speeches including ones about Dubai, the war in the Congo, and then I spoke about Online Dating. People seemed to like it, and laughed at points where I made subtle jokes.
After words, I headed back to Lauren's to prep for the Meteor Shower tonight. We then went to the place we found that was perfect for viewing however, I only could stay out for a short time and didn't see any meteors because I just started freezing. I just got to remember to wear more next time.
I then came home, found I only got 68.33% on my exam Thursday which I suppose is not bad but I could of swore I had gotten 80% but apparently more than 70% of the class answered 65% of the questions with the incorrect answers. By this I mean that they chose an answer that COULD be correct, but not the most correct. so the fact so many people actually chose the wrong answers so often makes me a bit more...confident that it wasn't just me. And the average was basically same as my own average so it's like barely a lot of people did extremely better than me.
After that I am here now, so off to bed I go! Sean
So I was up extremely late studying my Personality Theory notes and then headed to the doctor's office at 9AM. IWhile there turns out I was right that I was worry about nothing.
I got home about 9:30 and fell asleep till 2PM. I then got up and finished up the last of my studying. I then finished up my speech for tomorrow's class.
Around 6:30 I headed to the model practice and I did okay but I need to work on not swinging my arms too much and relaxing my shoulders. I did apparently very well in the tryout but today it was just so-so, so basically I just have to improve.
After tryouts I headed home and watched Desperate Housewives and Brothers & Sisters. I'm now about to head to bed hence the extremely quick post.
So to begin with, I got up at 12PM and got ready for work. I headed out to pick up Chris at 1 and we headed to Wendy's. We then came back home and watched Legally Blonde, and then started Legally Blonde 2. I then took Chris home and then said bye to my grandfather as my Mom was taking me to London.
When we got to London I had to get ready for King's Ball as I was due over at my friend Lauren's for a pre-social event. Once dressed I headed over there and just waited for 6:15 to roll around as that's when we were to catch our bus to the London Convention Center. The bus itself took one heck of a long way around as the road had been blocked off up Waterloo Street.
When we finally arrived we got photos taken and then just chatted with one another. We then finally had dinner which was a variety of salads (which apparently weren't all good), chicken, roast beef, variety of rolls and desserts, red-skinned potatoes, pasta (with very spicy sauce, or at least in my opinion), and a few other things too.
After dinner was the dance and we danced till about 12AM. We then left at 12:30AM and then when we got back home I said bye to my friends and headed to the place I stay when I need to stay overnight.
So I got up at 1PM today and headed to my Personality Theory exam. I went for an hour in which we talked about positive Psychology which I have to say was a positive way at looking at the world :P. At 2:30PM I headed to my Psych of Work Professor so I could ask some more questions about the exam. Then at 3:30 I headed to my exam and wrote it. I really think I did well, but I guess I'll find out at the beginning next year. I'm praying I got like 70 or higher but I'm sure I'll find out next week.
After this I headed home for a brief moment and got a granola bar and then headed to King's for the rehearsal for the King's Players Variety show. It turns out though I wasn't really needed as my piece was already rehearsed. So I then headed back home and just watched some television and started studying for my Personality Exam. Luckily only five lectures this time instead of eight.
At 10:30PM I headed over to my friend Lauren's for a movie night. I sat and talked with Ashley and Lauren until pizza was ready and we then headed downstairs to watch The Ugly Truth, which has given me the best topic for my speech Monday.
At about 11:15PM, two of our friends came over and we chatted till like....12:50PM. Eventually once they left after talking about dreams, and the variety show and other stuff, we headed back downstairs to finish the movie.
After the movie I came home and just packed up some of my things to head back tomorrow.
That's all for tonight everyone! Sean
Oh and Everyone, we did it! 500 Views. FIVE HUNDRED. Unbelievable! Thanks so much everyone and hopefully we can make it to 1000!
Not so busy day today, but anyway, I got to bed at 7AM after studying for a while. The bad thing was that the learning skills course I wanted to take was full but the good thing was I got to sleep in till around 3PM which I know is late, but it's what I get from going to bed so late. I woke up and hopped in the shower, but unfortunately knowing that Scotiabank was closed today for Remembrance Day meant I couldn't directly go and deposit a check I had to deposit.
I started studying at 3PM and around 6PM I decided to go and grab some things from the mall. I got there, deposited the check which may have been stupid as there is unfortunately a 6 business day hold on checks (minus like a quarter of whatever the amount is or more depending on the size of the check. So I then headed and got the groceries, and headed home.
At 8 I watched Top Model, in which they eliminated four of the competitors down to two. Specifically the two I wanted to make the top 2 so now no matter who wins next week, I still luckily will be happy. :P
After Top Model, it was what I had waited two weeks for: GLEE! Which was finally back after the two week hiatus. It focused on Artie, the Glee clubber who's in a wheelchair. I also got to learn so much this time like about how Artie wound up in the wheelchair, and that Sue actually has a freaking heart. I swear, I bawled my eyes out (or at least got some tears in my eyes :P) when we find out she actually has a mentally disabled sister and that's why she allowed a student with the same disability onto her Cheerios Squad. I just have to say, I think that was one of the best parts of the show, that and Rachel and Kurt both sang Defying Gravity from Wicked which I love so much. I'm going to stop ranting about Glee though because obviously I'm sort of getting too much into it. But that's how my autism is, I'm big about movies and the like and often just decide to find out all the info I can about said shows and movies. I can't help but think maybe after I get my degree that I should go after something to do with the film industry, whether behind the scenes or writing screenplays or just something along that whole area of study.
After Glee I just continued to study, seriously the only day I won't be studying is tomorrow since it's the day of. I am however going to my Personality Theory class because first off I have to do a reflection paper for a lecture before school's done and over with. And 2. I just figure I should. I just hope it won't make it difficult when the exam rolls around.
Anyway, that's all for now. Hope you liked the longer post :P. Sean
So I was up all night, yes, all night. I had to study for the exam and I just want to make sure I'm as ready as possible. I then headed to the school to have my meeting with the career counselor and so she could get to know me better so she could best figure out how to help me.
After the meeting I got some breakfast from the cafeteria and headed home. I hate breakfast and then slept for a couple hours to get some sleep back.
I woke up around 7PM or so and started up with the studying again, and had some dinner. That was my night, sorry it was so extremely dull. I might add more later today/tomorrow I just want some sleep now. Thanks for listening! Sean
So today I woke up around 1PM and decided that I needed to go see an academic counselor as I wanted to find out more about what I might need for the Master's program. I found out some interesting news that I'm not even sure whether or not I'll be able to get into an honours degree because unless I find out a perfect way of doing well in multiple choice, I doubt I'll ever get the marks I need to get into it though I'm still going to try, I'm just having a bit of doubting in me right now.
After the meeting I made an appointment for tomorrow at 11:30AM with a career counselor who can help me find out more about Masters programs as the Academic Counselor couldn't really help me with that particular aspect, though I do of course appreciate her help and she gave me the name of the person I need to talk with.
Following this I headed to the library around 3PM and studied with my friend Lauren for the test on Thursday. I'm still nervous as hell about it so I hope I do well in it.
Then around 5:30 we headed back to Lauren's where we just chatted and I scarfed down a couple granola bars, which is good because they're actually healthy instead of unhealthy.
We then headed to class around 6:30PM and we listened to different speeches, though why two people had to bring up Swine Flue I don't understand. One was really enough frankly, but I suppose you don't ever know what the other person is doing.
Around 7:45PM though we headed to the main building on King's for Western Idol. The amount of people who decided to sing was fantastic. I sang 'Don't Stop Believing' hoping it's popularity might get me to the next round but once again didn't. But doesn't mean I'll give up, and at least unlike last year where I was pretty upset, this time I just had a total blast singing the song (minus the first line that I kinda messed up as I got confused about the proper pitch as my brain gets a bit confused if I practiced the song in a different range). I may not have made it, but at least I had fun.
I then headed home, watched Heroes, and here I am studying once more. Night all! Sean
So today started at about 11:30AM I think when I went, had a shower and the other normal stuff. Once that was done with I had a cup of tea before heading to London with my parents. We dropped by Zellers to get some cleaning supplies, and then we headed to London. I had to head to London as I had play practice later in the night. I got to the house I stay at for the nights I need to be in London, and just hung out there for some time.
Once 8:30 rolled around, I headed to play rehearsal. We had to rehearse the ball game several times, and it went quite well. My "Jersey" accent, although I think it sounds Australian or at least close to that, sounds quite hilarious calling out about 'hot dogs' and such. Once that was done, I headed home and watched Desperate Housewives, Family Guy, and Brothers & Sisters and then headed into my room to study which is what I'm currently doing. Sorry that I posted after midnight, but I suppose it happens. Anyway, talk to you all tomorrow! Or....later today that is. :P Sean
Sorry I missed yesterday's post. To sum it up I basically went home again and worked with Chris. We went to Wendy's and then watched Santa Clause 3. Then I came home, made dinner and that was about it.
As for today, I woke up about 11AM but I kinda wound up falling back to bed for about another hour and got up at 12. I then got ready for work and headed out. I took Chris to Taco Bell this time and then took him to Pinafore Park and then back home to finish Santa Clause 3. There was also one point in the car where I had to tell Chris not to touch the windows because while we were driving to Taco Bell, he decided to touch the window and he kind of has dirty hands so it left a mark on the window. Probably shouldn't worry about it, but still, it was my mother's car not mine so I didn't think it should be getting smudged.
After work I headed home and started studying once again. I'm getting so sick of all this studying...it's just frustrating as hell. Especially when I can't figure out for the life of me which is the best method of studying for multiple choice for me, because instead of getting 80s like I did in essay courses using my re-taking notes method, it doesn't seem to work as well with multiple choice tests as I'm still getting only 60s or low 70s. I just wish I could figure out why I second guess myself so much and why my studying multiple choice techniques suck so badly. I need to figure out how to best keep everything in my memory. Like word tricks or cue cards or something, because it's clear there is something that could help me really get those 80s or 90s instead of 60s or 70s. Any ideas people? I might just go see a counselor again just to ask what else I could do. I'll just use the study note technique I've been using for the upcoming two tests, but after that I need to figure something out to see if I can do even better in the next ones.
As for the rest of the night, I'm watching Models of the Runway, the spin-off of Project Runway that shows what the models did after the episode of PR during the prior hour. That's about it. Night all! Sean
I'm a 22 year old student at King's College at the University of Western Ontario. I've been a member of students councils for the past 8 years of my life, including Communications Coordinator and Website Commissioner. I'm in Psychology at Western, and have a big passion for acting. I'd love to get into movies if I could, but for now, I'm just living life and loving my friends and the productions I'm in at school :).
