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.
Sunday November 8 - Play Practice Monday to Thursday - School Thursday evening - Head home Friday afternoon - Head back to London, then movie and dinner (for now) Saturday October 14 - King's Ball Sunday October 15 - Nothing Monday October 16 - Thursday October 19 - School Thursday October 19 - NEW MOON XD! 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 :).
