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
Hey Everyone! So to begin with I woke up at 12PM and got ready for class. I headed to my classes and made it through Personality Psychology. I then headed to my Psych of Work and we learned about analytical research and then studied for the exam using a Jeopardy format. While Lauren and I didn't answer the questions as others were chosen first, her and I kept getting every question correct so maybe that's at least a good sign.
After class Lauren headed to her house, and I headed back to the apartment I still use since it was a late class. I really only use it for these late classes but I still consider that I live in St. Thomas since I basically do. I stayed there and studied till it was 10 and then headed to King's Players. I finally started getting to know some more of the people there and met Liam and Meghan, two very nice people so I'm glad I made some more friends, since that's the point of university.
After King's Players I headed to Christina's Pub with my friends just to chat and have fun. I then headed home and here I am. Have a great night everyone! Sean
So today what happened? I started by heading over to King's for a bit just to talk to a professor. I then headed to the apartment again and got to work on studying. I'm frankly looking forward to tomorrow when I get the actual review that our professor is going to hand out, then it will give me a better idea what to study instead of studying blindly. It's a problem I have because then I don't know whether or not which parts I should study.
I then around 6PM headed to Sebastian's Market to get some dinner. Garlic Mashed Potatoes aren't really a dinner but at least some food. I then headed home, ate the potatoes, then ate some ravioli and got back to studying. I watched tv around 8pm and just watched Top Model and the pilot episode of Glee, since a new episode isn't coming out till next week. That reminds me though, I also got an e-mail today to find out that I made the model cut for the Charity Fashion Show King's is holding called "City of Lights". So I'm extremely happy about that, though I just hope I can walk properly, have the right facial expressions, etc. As you can tell, I'm obsessing a little more about modeling and knowing me I'll like work and overdo it staying up late just trying to work on my walk. *insert laugh here*.
So now here we are, and I hope everyone has a great night! Talk to you tomorrow! Sean
Hey everyone! So today was rather uneventful. I got up at 12:30PM and showered and brushed my teeth. I then headed to class which lasted only an hour as it was very few slides. I also bought my ticket to King's Ball for next week which I'm ecstatic about.
After this I headed to the apartment and started the studying. As I said, once more nothing happened. As you can see my days are rather dull these days. I apologize that I can't give you guys much to go on, it's just that at the moment barely anything is happening...It will be soon enough though.
Hi Everyone! So today I got up at 1PM as it was my last day to really "sleep in" since tomorrow I have class. I got up, showered, had some breakfast for once and then called Mom to discuss the schedule for those three weeks I mentioned in the prior day's post. I then headed for lunch with Lauren at Christina's. Once we finished, I headed back home and started doing some more studying for the two exams I have coming up.
I hate to say it but aside from lunch nothing else really happened today. Sorry for the extremely boring day. But if you don't mind I'll give an updated schedule of those three weeks :P.

Friday October 20 - King's Players Variety Show and 24 hour theatre Saturday October 21 - Performance of the 24 hr, then home for bed as I'll have been up for 24 hours. Sunday October 22 - Nothing Monday October 23 - Thursday October 26 - School Friday October 27 - Return Home.
Hey Everyone! So relatively boring day today. Slept till about 3PM today, not sure why, but I think my body was just trying to get some of the several lost hours I've lost in the past. After I did my whole shower/teeth thing, I then headed back to my room to study and such.
Around 8:30PM I headed to my play practice, and found out my Vendor role only really has like 3 lines which disappointed me. I think they needed to give everyone a fair shot, I just honestly feel that I have an immense amount of untapped talent, and I'm just not getting the chance to..."blossom" as I'll put it. I love acting with every fibre of my being, and yet, while I did say that the two directors are doing what is the best for their play, I feel sort of...I'm really not sure the word for it, I just feel kind of so-so about it. I guess I do just have to keep reminding myself though that there are no small parts, only small actors. I just can't help but feel that my acting skills are becoming more and more rusty, as my skills at acting are getting more and more rusty because I'm not being given that chance. Though there are still no small parts, I do have to say having more lines would really help me in improving my skills and being able to work on the really becoming a character. When you only have three to five lines, you don't get much chance to become someone. Though the acting is a big enjoyment of mine it is after all just a very fun past time that just lets me have fun with friends and enjoy life outside of school, so I can't really let it upset me too much, I just need to have fun! As you can see, my autism is sparking up once again because I can't help but get off this subject so I think I should probably stop now before I drone on and on and on. Once practice was done though I headed back home with Lauren and Ash.
While headed home, Lauren and I tried to figure out our movie date but the thing is, I'm worried about my mother. She'd like to do the movie night on the 13th, but if that's the case, then since I have play practice on the 8th, I'd have to stay from that week, until who knows when. The reason is because it'd be like the schedule below:
Sunday November 8th - Play Practice Monday to Thursday - School Friday November 13 - Movie Night with Lauren Saturday November 14 - KING'S BALL! Sunday November 15th nothing but the fact is it wouldn't make sense for my father to pick me up for one night with my parents and then have to be taken back for the next day for class. Then it'd be Monday to Thursday - School Thursday November 19 - NEW MOON (Twilight Saga) Friday November 20 - Saturday November 21 - Variety Show/24 Hour Theatre Sunday November 21 - Nothing but Parents are away so no return to St. Thomas and then Monday to Friday - School.
So frankly....I wouldn't see my parents for three weeks...I guess I'm just going to have to wait and see what my mother says tomorrow is all.
I then came home, watched television and of course Housewives and Brothers & Sisters and here I am.
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 :).
