So I am proud to say that my music test has been completed and I think I did fairly well at it! What's more, I only have two more assignments left. First I have to get my manuscript speech finished, and then have my Ethics Proposal, the final assignment for my Research Methods class due on the Wednesday.
My day was pretty uneventful because all I did was see Valentine's Day again which I must say was just as funny the second time around as it was the first time. I have to say though, I really wish there was a way for me to get into acting though. I love movies so much, but what's more, I love acting a hundred or thousand times more. Obviously I'm in University to get a degree so I have a fall back, but really I couldn't see myself doing anything but acting if I had the chance, it just means that much to me. It brings a joy to my life I didn't even think possible, and I just wish it were easier to get into the business so I could have that joy every day.
Anyway, autism-wise I don't think much happened except stressing more than I should have about my music test. But I suppose that's life and you just have to live with it.
Thank-you once again people for reading my blog. I'm glad you seem to be enjoying it so much and coming back. Especially my readers from Massachusetts and other areas of the States and Canada and anywhere else people are reading from!
So good news, my ensemble piece is FINALLY over! I can finally put that behind me and only worry about my music test at 9AM tomorrow morning...which should be fun. Thankfully that will be over soon and I can return to being a normal, non-stressed student....at least until exams start.
Anyway aside from the ensemble, the day went pretty easy. I didn't really have many, if any problems whatsoever aside from thinking my harmony was absolutely horrid in the ensemble but at least like I said, it's over.
Autism-wise, only thing that happened was I kept apologizing consistently to my ensemble partner. I know this may seem not to be an autism type thing, but it was because I kept doing it over and over even when my partner said it was fine.
Busy, busy day compared to yesterday. Had to head over to King's for my interview for Website Commissioner for the KUCSC, then had to head to main for music ensemble practice, and then back to King's for class. The ensemble practice went find in my opinion, I'm getting better and better at harmony as time goes by, and I think I should be ready for the performance in class tomorrow. I just hope it works out find.
As for Speech class, it was basically just more of the class doing their manuscripts. This consisted of course of speeches ranging from Humanitarian Intervention, to Feminism, to Star Trek. It definitely was an interesting group of speeches and we're going to have so many to do in our final class next week since there are at least 12 more speeches to go, mine being one of them which I plan to do on love. Sex and the City has definitely given me an interesting look into love so I figure why not give it a shot?
Lauren, John and I headed to Christina's after, where we just chatted about King's Players some more and HOPEFULLY I'll be getting a position on the VP Council for KP because I'd love to be "on the front lines" :P. During this, once again I felt like I had to interrupt in certain parts of the conversation or got very frustrated when I couldn't finish my sentence. I think this is part of my autism, because something in my brain basically tells me to get quite frustrated when I can't finish what I'm in the middle of saying.
So what a long long night. The day went forever too but that was basically just watching television. But the night was Students Council and I SWEAR it went on forever, from 6:30 until I left at midnight even though it was STILL going on when I left. There was just so many debates happening from the OC Don policies, Regis Staff policies, and fifty other million motions (really it was only ten but I'm just saying). It was absolutely ridiculous frankly, because frankly everyone just kept arguing about this and that, and I realize it's great we have freedom of speech, but it can get over the top, and I felt it did tonight.
Aside from that factor, the day was pretty much dull. Autism-wise it was just a case of the extremely late night I had from the stimulation I had from the TV. I realize this seems to be happening a lot but that's just the case this weekend. Not much has happened socially hence why I was unable to tell you any certain type of autistic quirk.
So yesterday was a relatively dull day. I slept until 3PM and basically just got up and headed out around 5:45 to head out to Grad Ball as I had to be event staff for it. That too was relatively dull but at least I got to dance to some of the songs. There was a slight mishap where a grad got forcibly removed from the dance but I won't go into that simply for privacy and legal reasons. (I don't know if personally expressing my opinions of how it happened would get me in trouble, but I still feel like in this case I shouldn't go on about it.)
I got home around midnight and have just been getting ready for my Music Test on Wednesday which is going to be soooooo much fun.
Autism-wise I think it was over-stimulation from the television last night that made me take so long to get to bed, especially after the movie night with Lauren, so I was basically wired for another two hours.
But I suppose that's everything for today. Sorry for the relatively boring post! Night all! Sean
Okay so it was a fun day today I have to say. To begin with I had practice again for my ensemble and it is getting closer and closer to being good. I just wish my voice didn't sound so HORRIBLE in the morning, it would be a lot better. But I digress, luckily my ensemble is happening in the evening rather than the morning :P.
I quickly had to run to the mall too to deposit a cheque and then headed back to my house before heading out to dinner with Lauren. I actually really got past one of my autistic things today, being the texture and problem with food. I wound up actually having haddock pan-seared in butter, which I would normally never have and it was good. I am just really happy I ate healthy and also got through one of my ticks. But I suppose that's just the case.
Lauren and I then headed home and watched The Blind Side, and followed it by Grease, which I ACTUALLY had never seen the full movie all the way through no interruptions and man it was good :).
Wow it was an interesting day for Thursday. Basically woke up at 10:30AM which of course was frustrating as I get to bed so late and as a result I just wind up exhausted. I had to get up as I had a rehearsal for my ensemble at Noon over on main campus. The practice went find and I am getting better at hitting the right notes when singing harmony but I'm still working on it.
I also had class with Lauren but it was a dull adventure minus Lauren and I trying to figure out our Friday night since we had been invited to a tea party (for Alice in Wonderland, having finished the play but still can't let it go :P) but we also had planned two weeks ago to do a movie night for Friday.
King's Players was the only other thing that happened and thanks to John's overextended Presidential speech having won the election....it was a meeting with very few games sadly. But Christina's Pub was fun though and we got to talk more but I SWEAR I need to watch what I eat. I mean, onion rings, and cheese nachos? Can we say FAT!? Anyway, autism-wise it was just a case of not getting to bed early enough because of the stimulation from television and the computer. But I suppose....what can you do? :P
Well I had a lot of running around to do today, it was annoying as hell. I got up around 1 as I had a meeting with my Academic Counselor to get my exam makeup sheet signed. I then had to head up to Examination Services to hand it to them since this was for a main campus exam, and when I got there I'm told it will be up to their discretion. This just makes me nervous of course because the exam was yesterday so if they say no (which will really make them total a-holes in my book, yes you heard me, I said the a word) then I don't know how I'll write this test since the test date has already past.
Anyway, when I got back I put the finishing touches on my Research Proposal which was due today, and then just watched some television while I waited for 5:30 to roll around. Class was boring as usual, as we just talked about Qualitative Research. It was basically a snore fest, plain and simple. I got out of there about 7:45PM and headed home once more. I had dinner and cake (yay for cake!) and now here I am, waiting for The Real World DC (yes I watch the show, but it's not THAT bad this season).
Now if you're wondering what happened related to my autism, I'd say just my having to do the whole test run around when really it was the SSD's fault not mine. I had to get a code from my professor to allow me to write any exams in the course with SSD, and at first they didn't have that course on my list. So of course after I go to the trouble to get the code, so that I can sign up for the exam, apparently I forgot to sign up for the exam. So to put it in simple words, I had to sign up for a test that I already went to the trouble of getting a code for for it to appear on my SSD website page. Frankly it would of made more sense for them to automatically just sign me up for the test after I went to all that trouble. But no, it's my fault for not signing up and my fault for there being a chance that I might not get to even write the test!
So how is everyone doing today? Hopefully well as I'm doing not badly since my sinus infection isn't as bad as it was. I took a Tylenol Cold and Sinus, which is probably why I'm feeling a lot better than I had.
I had my usual Clinical course, then headed over to Talbot College and had pizza for dinner. I then headed to the music library since I had to get a silly self-evaluation form done. The good thing is when watching the video of my solo from last week, it turned out even better than I had originally thought of the solo. It was probably the best solo I had ever given in a long time :P.
Class then happened and the class wrote the music test while I went outside of the classroom and played Pokemon SoulSilver as I get to write the test next week. Thank God for that :P. Following the test I had practice with my Ensemble partner Jen and we were singing Come What May from Moulin Rouge. The bad thing is I absolutely suck when it comes to harmony because often I wind up singing the notes of whatever my partner is singing meaning I wind up singing in unison rather than in harmony. I'm sure I'll get it eventually, but at the moment I just simply suck at this.
Autism-wise, I think it was just a case of me getting on my own case about my singing. I apologized several times to my partner Jen when really I should have only had to do so once. But I suppose it's something I can't help, I don't want people upset at me so I apologize like fifty million times.
Today was an interesting day. From being woken up around 9AM because they were putting insulation in downstairs, and as a result, I had to get up and sleep upstairs so that the smell wouldn't give me dead brain cells or at most a headache :P. I had to deal with a couple phone calls though from the Student Services at King's because I thought I had booked my music test with them for tomorrow, but it wasn't appearing on my log in page. I did get it all sorted out though thankfully, and luckily I get to write next Wednesday, so an extra week for studying.
I headed back to London around 2:30PM and just watched some television until around 6 since I had to head out to Speech. Now here's where my autism came in because I thought my best friend, Lauren, had possibly been a little put off with me, but once again I was completely wrong. It was just me thinking I had said something to offend her when in reality, she had just had such a busy weekend and as a result it made it difficult for her to get in touch with me by text message is all. Which was a relief.
Speech class was short because most people didn't have their manuscripts all finished or started except one person, so that person did her speech, her name is Summer so as to not sound rude by not saying who she is. We then just listened to the final Speech to Persuade and three impromptu speeches.
Then I just had a KUCSC meeting to hand in my application for Website Commissioner for next year (the position I'm in currently) and then headed home to write my Research Proposal which is what I'm currently doing.
So not a busy day today, not really much happened. I woke up, got ready for the day, played God of War 3 and then headed to work. Work was just a visit to Wendy's, and then finishing WALL-E, and watching Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. I then just finished off God of War 3 when I got home, and now am just watching regular tv. I guess the only autistic thing that happened today was...actually I don't think anything related to my autism happened today. It was just such a dull day (minus beating God of War 3 of course) that I really can't say anything could have arisen to do anything autistic. :P
So wow, busy busy day it was. First off I had to get up at 9:30 which did not make me happy because I like sleeping in especially when I often don't get to bed until after 3am. My Dad and I had to head to London around 10:30 (hence the 9:30 wake up as it takes me an hour to actually pull myself out of bed, get my shower, brush my teeth, and get something to eat). We got to the venue with tons of time but only to find out barely anything was moving along. I don't understand why either since the girls should of gotten there at 9 and by 11:30 you'd figure their make up would all be done but it was BARELY halfway done. I was stunned to say the least. I wound up having to put posters on the doors as I waited for something to happen.
We finally got to go to lunch at 1PM, about a half hour later than we were suppose to but whatever. My friends from the show, David, Jenny, Kristina, Sherlrina and myself headed to the nearby Citi Plaza and grabbed some food to eat and then headed back to the venue because we were (hopefully) going to start a run through. We did, but man I don't understand why we didn't just do a complete run through and then fix what went wrong. It didn't really make sense because then we could get a sense of how to do it and then work on whatever went wrong. We also wound up having to wait for about an hour and a half till the show started since the run through of the scenes I was in had finished, but it took till basically the doors opening for it all to be done. And then we still had to wait an hour for the show to start. Luckily we got pizza for dinner so we at least had SOME food to tie us over.
The show I found went really well though. My scenes of Nike, Commander Salamander, Moore's (tuxedos), and the King's Pro Shop went great and I felt happy knowing I did a good job. We ended the show by having a procession of ALL the models and then gave flowers to Cheryl and Hayley the two commissioners in charge of the Fashion Show. Though I SERIOUSLY think they should be paid for this. I don't understand why the KUCSC doesn't realize that the show is a LOT of work, and it's constant work from October till March for heavens sake. The people in charge have to deal with fittings, and booking the venue, finding sponsors, finding the stores who want to have their clothes in the show, getting posters and tickets designed, choosing models and dancers, spending probably more than FORTY hours a week trying to get everything perfect. So if anyone from the KUCSC (aside from me :P) is reading my blog, I suggest you think about changing the Fashion Show Commissioners position to Coordinators so they can get paid the money they deserve because otherwise they're blowing blood vessels over the show that they're only volunteering to do. Got it? Good.
ANYWAY, Once the show was over, it was a relief that now all my non-school events were over and now just to focus on school...yay. Why can't I just become and actor or model instead of this? I love acting and modeling and such about a million times more than school....but oh yeah....it's really hard to make a great paycheck from acting/modeling so I have to go to school to get a fall-back....Woo hoo...
Well that's all for tonight. And if you can't figure out the autism part, well I suppose I'll tell you another time :P
So Friday was a relatively dull day frankly. I basically just played God of War 3 some more until around 4 when I had to head out to work and take Chris out. He decided to switch it up on me by asking to go to Burger King which is the first time we've gone there since I think six months ago. But at the same time, it still is one of the restaurants that he prefers to go to. Try getting him to go to a healthy place like Subway or something like that and he'd probably run out the door. I have to admit, I'm worried about him, I realize I myself don't have the best eating habits but I at least do get SOME healthy food in me. From what I see of him though, it's just pizza, cheeseburgers, chili cheese burritos, and more junk food. I just don't know if in the future he'll have a healthy life or not because of these choices. I know I'm trying to change but it seems like he won't just because of his autism, which makes him such a picky eater.
Moving on...
Chris and I continued watching more of WALL-E at my house which we had started three weeks ago but it's still not finished. But we're obviously going to finish it up on Sunday when I pick him up.
Finally, my parents and I headed out and saw The Bounty Hunter with Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler. Hilarious movie I have to say. There was a bit of suspense in some places but most of it was just non-stop hilarity. I definitely have to say that Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler go really well together and make a great pair on the big screen. I just hope we see some more movies from the two of them because they definitely have a really good chemistry on the screen too.
I suppose my autism thing that happened was in this post frankly, me trailing on about Chris' eating habits. But that's not actually true since I'm writing this Sunday morning so I suppose we'll count this as a mixture of Saturday and Sundays :P.
I am so sorry for not posting this yesterday as I had planned to. I just got back to St. Thomas and completely forgot to post so I guess it happens. Yesterday wasn't a big deal anyway, I basically helped sell Fashion Show Tickets for about an hour and a half, and then followed it up by leaving London and class really early to head home back to St. Thomas.
I saw Alice in Wonderland yesterday too which was just as great the second time as it was the first time. Johnny Depp was weird as usual but that is his general character in Tim Burton films anyway :P.
I also finally got to begin playing God of War 3 which was absolutely amazing, and still is as I'm still playing it. It's just beyond amazing, the graphics are refined, the control is easy to get use to, and I gotta say, killing the Greek Gods is fun especially with how you kill them in the game. :P It's one of the few brutal type games I'm into, and I don't know why. I guess because it mixes a great plot with lots of action, two things I love in my games. I suppose I did go on about it a bit too much to my parents of course, but that's just the "autism in me" :P.
Today was a relatively slow day frankly. I had to go to my final fitting at Commander Salamander, a store that sells somewhat alternative clothing. I'm just going to be wearing a normal pair of jeans that are my own, but a brownish beige button up shirt. I have to say though, with it being St. Patrick's Day, London students have basically gone completely insane. I swear there were some guys asking people to show them their bodies if they weren't wearing green.
Really the only other part about today I guess was going out to dinner with my friend. Just went to Jack Astor's and it was fun. That's basically it about the dinner. I'm looking forward to tomorrow though because I'll be home and can play God of War 3, Final Fantasy 13, and I'm just totally happy about that of course. Right now however I'm playing Pokemon SoulSilver and about to watch New Moon which I got early because of pre-ordering it online. It's so nice knowing that I have a movie most people won't get until Saturday :P.
Finally, the only thing related to autism that happened today was when I was chatting with the coordinator for the Fashion Show, I told her how I felt as though the DJ for the show didn't like me for some reason. But she reassured me that as long as I hadn't done anything, there was no point in thinking that he was mad at me, which I suppose is completely true.
So semi-busy day today I have to say. Today was the day I had to pick up my tuxedo for the Fashion Show and at the same time pick up God of War 3 since it was just released. I can't play it at the moment sadly since I'm in London for tonight and tomorrow, but soon as I'm home, you can guess what I'll be doing :P It was surprising to me though that despite it being the release of the game, there was no line up whatsoever when I got there around noon so go figure.
The rest of the day basically just consisted of classes and fashion show practice. My solo for Music class, "Summertime" went really well. They basically said that I knew exactly how to project my voice this time and I had a great balance between both my high notes and my low notes which really made me happy. 90% or higher here I come :P.
As for Fashion Show practice, it was just a complete run through of the entire show, with one scene after another in the order it had to be in. The title of this post is due to the title of a song that basically goes with one of the stores I'm modeling for.
I suppose that's basically it aside from talking too much to one of my fellow models. (This would be my autistic thing for today :P)
Well I'm going to tell you all now it was really not a busy day. Sadly nothing really big happened aside from a fitting and class but I'll still go into it.
With the Pro Shop fitting I basically had to go to the King's Pro Shop (which is in my school) and find out what they'd like me to wear. It wound up that I'd just be wearing a blue sweatshirt with the logo for King's on it, and my own grey sweatpants. Nothing's wrong with that really, because it also lets me wear my own pants and own t-shirt underneath which is always nice. I was also able to grab some scrambled eggs at the caf which wound up just perfect because the guy who works there who makes them perfectly was thankfully working.
Aside from that the only other thing that happened today really was my Speech class which was...interesting to say the least. We basically had to do impromptu speeches which consisted of pulling a random topic out of a bag, and then presenting a speech based on that topic after ten minutes of preparation. Mine was about Women in the Military and I basically talked about both sides of the debate that has lasted 4000 years. I talked about how on one side (consisting mainly of men), feels women can't perform in the military because of strength, emotions, and psychological capabilities. Then I talked about the other side, which I feel a part of, that says how strong they can be. I also made up the fact that women can take hold of their emotions and put them towards giving themselves strength. I also listed different female warriors including Annie Oakley, mythological goddess Athena, and even a Star Wars queen, Queen Talia (see Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords for XBOX or PC for reference :P).
That was basically my day frankly. I suppose the only autism-related thing that "sprung up" was that just because Lauren wasn't responding to my texts, I thought she was perhaps annoyed with me, which even though I know wasn't the case, I suppose I have a bit of paranoia in me because I always feel like I text her too much because I want to make sure I haven't made her mad. I don't know if this is autism or paranoia, but I'm sticking to autism :P
So I'm going to try and switch up the format again just because I figure I might as well try. It was a busy day more or less with the Students Council VP Elections and me having stayed up all night writing my speech for it. The council meeting lasted from 10:30AM all the way till 5:30PM which I have to say was annoying as all hell. I ran for Vice-President Operations, in other words the person in charge of the policies, clubs, the King's rink, the Regis (a news publication), and the website. I felt I did quite well for the debate, and while I lost, I felt it still was an exhilarating experience. I definitely have to say it was something I don't regret. The funny thing about me is I never give up, ever. I do whatever is in my power until I achieve it or get close to it because that's the type of person I am. This probably could come in handy though since I do want to be an actor so badly and after all, to get into acting there is one of two things you would need. Either you need connections, or you need persistence because the fact is you're going to be trying over and over again to get a role. Not everyone gets accepted right off the bat, even Jim Carrey tried fifty million times before he got to where he is today. Though to be clear, I'm finishing my Psych degree first because I feel I need to finish it before anything else, so I have a potential backup.
The only other thing I guess I can talk about is that our Fashion Show is coming up next week. I'm ecstatic about it, and I think it's just amazing that this was my first time trying for it and I still made it in. What's more, the commissioners in charge of it seem quite pleased with me and thanked me for being reliable. Frankly, I find people who are just here one day, and then gone another just does not help get anything done.
So I suppose those are my thoughts today. If you can't tell what my autistic aspect I was outlining was my ongoing persistence in trying time and time again. I know some people would say that many people have that but mine basically surpasses that. It's simply as though where a lot of people eventually say enough is enough, I never can. It's just what makes me, me.
So that's all tonight! Hope you think I did do a better format :P Sean
So I woke up at 11:30AM and headed to a recital that I needed to critique for my music class. I then headed back home and played God of War till 4:30PM.
We headed to the school for closing night which went amazingly! It was a great performance and I finally got a chance to meet Lauren's father and the rest of her family I hadn't met yet.
After this we headed home and I played God of War for another hour until Lauren, Ash and Roxanne came and got me to head to the Cast Party. About five minutes into the party I got a call and had to head to St. Thomas because my grandfather had been taken to hospital and my parents were not in St. Thomas so they wouldn't have been able to make it there. So after I found out Gramps was fine, I headed back to London and here I am.
Autism-wise, the only thing that happened was well...the structure of this post, and when I was speaking with some cast members I couldn't get off a particular topic like I often do.
That's all for tonight, even though it's day! Sean
So I'm skipping the post for yesterday as it wasn't really all that great a day :P. I woke up today at 9AM after heading to bed at midnight. I headed over to Lauren's at 10:00AM and we headed on our way to the school (Central) as we had a Matinee to do at 1PM. It went fairly well, but became rather sad when our audience left before we even finished because their school was over. So we finished that up, and headed out to lunch.
Lauren, Tricia and a few others headed to Crabby Joe's and I got just some cheese bread. Could barely eat it thought because it was so greasy and I don't need fully clogged arteries thanks. We then headed back to the school for our next show, Opening Night.
The show went amazingly. It was a great performance, and it seemed like people really enjoyed it.
After the show we headed back out to Crabby Joe's for dinner. I had the Haddock Fish and Chips, and it was quite good indeed, and definitely outside of my norm. We then headed back home.
Autism-wise, I actually BROKE one of my quirks. Generally I will only eat certain foods when I go to certain restaurants, like Grilled Cheese. But I decided to finally go with something I generally don't have and had the Fish and Chips. Surprisingly, I really liked them. I definitely was very happy that I had finally broke one of my quirks.
I woke up at 1:00PM and did my usual shower and such. I then watched MadTV and followed it up by Daily Show and Colbert Report for some last minute laughs before my day turned on the decline.
I headed to King's as it was finally time for my Clinical Psychology exam. I am hoping I did a good job, as a lot of questions I kept thinking "this is all in order of what I studied".
After class, I took a cab up to Central Secondary as it was time for the play, but turns out most people had gone out to dinner. So here I am at the school ready to go, and everyone else is out. So I sat and had dinner at the school with my friend Alex as we waited for them to get back. The practice/rehearsal went pretty well, and my costume changes went fine. Wednesday is the dress rehearsal so it kind of has to work out other wise. But you know what they say, "crappy dress rehearsal, amazing opening night" so here's hoping tomorrow goes horribly :P.
Once practice was over, Lauren, Tricia and I took the bus to the main gates and then briefly got some food from the variety store nearby. We then headed home and here I am.
I woke up at 12:00PM and had my usual shower and everything. I then headed out for a meeting at 1PM. Following this I headed up to Masonville Mall as I had to do some shopping. I had to buy some shorts to go with the tights for my costume for the play and an apron. I then grabbed some milk and toilet paper before heading home.
I got back home, with my finger blowing a blood vessel or something from carrying the milk with one finger, which resulted in my finger feeling numb for an hour. I watched some television and studied a bit for my exam tomorrow.
At 6PM I headed over to Lauren's to head to Speech class and then we got there and it had actually been our professor evaluation, which meant we couldn't stay and Lauren couldn't do her speech. So we let our Professor know whom was in another room and then headed out the door. We had to pack up several bundles of branches from trees for the play as the trees needed branches. We got to the venue, and it's quite a great stage. I really hope everything goes well with it.
I got home around 9:30PM and here I am.
Autism-wise, I suppose only thing that happened was me keeping to the normal structure of my blog. I wish I could separate from this but it's just not me.
I woke up at 3:00PM and got ready for play practice later that night. I worked on my study notes for my exam Tuesday. At 6:15PM I headed over to Lauren's and we headed over to play practice. It went pretty well frankly, and I got a chance to slip next door for Fashion show practice. We finally got onto actual practice of the play at 8:40. I then headed home after practice and here I am. I'm sorry that this post is so extremely short.
Autism-wise there was really only the structure of this post.
So today's been a tiring day sort of. I woke up at 2:30PM and headed over to my Soph Interview at 3:20. It went really well and they just asked me both serious questions like what it means to me being a student leader, and then some random questions like what I'd do if I had a time machine. After that I headed back home.
I played God of War until 6PM and then headed over to King's as I was one of the Event Staff helping out with First Year Residence Ball. The night went fine, and no one got overly drunk. I then had to wait a long time for the bus to arrive cause someone told the driver the wrong time. I talked with one of my friends but I guess my autism was flaring up cause of being so frustrated about the bus so I started talking about many random things all at one time basically.
I got on the bus and finally got home and here I am.
So I woke up at 10:30 and quickly talked to my Mom. I then had to do some stuff for the KUCSC website as I'm the designer for it..I then got ready to head out and met my friend Brittany at King's to head to Masonville. We headed there and saw Alice in Wonderland which was a fantastic movie. Classic Tim Burton, and just full of "naughtiness" (see the trailer to know why I put that in quotes).
After Alice, Brittany and I walked around to try and find some black tight athletic pants for me for my upcoming play as tights didn't fit. Surprisingly, I can't buy them either as they were over $50 which I'm not paying for something I'll only wear for three days...not saying I don't exercise, but I wouldn't wear those pants even if I did a lot of running like they're used for.
I then headed to play practice at 4PM and we did quite a good run through. But there was a bit of lacking emotion. It still was quite a good performance though. I then headed home and here I am watching Miss Congeniality on Showcase Diva. (Yes you may laugh :P).
So I woke up at 12PM after a 12 hour sleep and had my usual shower. I watched television for a while and then headed to my Psych of Work class which wasn't bad for once. We watched a clip from Braveheart, followed by a clip from Devil Wears Prada (one of my favourite movies). Lauren and I then walked back to her place before I headed home for my first night off in a while. Even though I'll need to get back to studying for Tuesday's exam, I just decided to take tonight off as I had spent the past couple days both studying and writing a silly Research paper.
Around 9:55PM, I headed to Lauren's so we could head over to King's Players. We had some fun, and I played Pocket Lines (a game where you act out a scene and insert in one of the lines on the slips of paper you picked out). There were other games we played, but not as many on stage ones, more "In the Manner of the Word" or "Molecules".
After KP we headed to Christina's Pub for a little while, and chatted. I then grabbed some groceries from the variety store and Lauren, Ashley and I headed home. Now that's where I am, playing Matrix: The Path of Neo.
So I woke up today at 12:00PM and watched MadTV before heading over to King's to sign up for my Soph interview as I got into the next level of the Soph application process which made me quite happy. After I signed up for that I went to the library to print off my tickets for my friend Brittany and I to go see Alice in Wonderland as we're seeing it Friday since I work the First-Year Ball on Saturday so I can't go with Lauren and others that night.
After this I had class at 3:30PM and then headed home briefly before heading to my vocal coaching sessions at the Music Building. Then I spoke with my ensemble partner Jennifer to decide which song to do, which will most likely be Come What May from Moulin Rouge.
After this I headed to Fashion Show practice which went pretty well, and I ended by working on the posters for the Fashion Show. It's stressing me out so bad but luckily Pat (the KUCSC President) said he'd take the work I did, and then just finish it up. I just hope he does it the right way.
Autism-wise, I both have been letting the stress overwhelm me because I'm not letting myself breathe or any of the things I was told to do to help prevent my stress from getting overwhelming. There also was the usual following the structure of my blog as always. :P
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 :).
