So to start off, I got to bed around 5AM after watching waaaay too much television. When I woke up I had to get ready relatively quickly as I would otherwise be late for this really interesting event happening at the King's library called the "Living Library". In the "Living Library" the books were people, and we actually could ask the people questions about what their jobs were like, as well as the discrimination put forward in the Professional world. And while not professional I decided to sort of volunteer to explain what it's like to be an autistic man going through University.
Although I wasn't sure what they would think since I'm not really a professional, Meaghan, one of the librarians was actually so very much into having me do it which I thought was really great of her.
After this I just went to Masonville to hang with a friend from King's but then he wound up standing me up, which ticked me off of course. I mean how much can you be ticked off when someone stands you up?
After being stood up I came home and watched "glee" which was freaking amazing tonight. Kristin Chenowith starred and she played a wonderful seductive drunk. The songs they sung were Don't Stop Believing (Journey), Alone (Heart), Last Name (Carrie Underwood) and one of my favourite songs Somebody to Love (Queen). The last of which was unbelievably amazing, I mean not as good as Queen of course, but none the less was just fantastic.

All About Steve
So today was an amusing day :) I got to bed at 5:30 once again after doing a lot of studying, but then I woke up at 11AM when my mother called me to tell me to check up on my grandfather. I then went back to bed for two hours and wound up waking right when my only class was going to begin. So I had to rush out of my house after my shower and head to class. I wound up half an hour late, which I felt bad about as it was the last class prior to the exam Thursday.
After class I then headed up to Masonville Mall to hang with one of my friends. While there we saw All About Steve which was actually quite funny, but a little odd at the same time. Then after that I headed briefly to the grocery store to get some items I had left back at my parents house, and then headed home. Since I got home I've just watched television.

I (Already) Need a Vacation
So I have to make this relatively brief, but I got to bed at 5:30AM today and woke up at 9:30 which didn't leave me with much time before I had to head down to London. I showered and then grabbed two cups of tea to stay awake. My parents then drove me to London and I at first was going to sleep, but wound up staying awake all the way till now.
I headed to class and presented my speech about, can you guess? Living with autism. I think I did an okay job, but from what everyone else told me, I did a wonderful job. I then listened to other peoples speeches like Johnathan's hilarious one about 'time travel', and Summer's about both her marriage which she wound up having the flue and laryngitis at the same time, and then about her child being born. Then there was also a wonderful speech about one's adorable puppy. I then also heard a speech from Katie about her sister having autism which of course I loved hearing because I know what it's like. Now her sister is much more severe compared to me whom cannot actually talk due to her autism. Then both Katie and I fielded questions about it, which I hope she didn't mind and she said she didn't, though I'll admit I felt bad for intruding during HER question period.
Anyway that's about it everyone aside from Heroes being great. I have four more chapters to study so I have to get on that.

Late, I'm Late, for a Very Important Date!
WOW I cannot believe I forgot to post yesterday night. So sorry to my readers...which seem to be few as no one has yet to actually start following this blog. *glares*. Anyway what happened yesterday? Well I got up around 1:30PM and had to go and pick up a disc that had photos from my photo shoot with Lisabella Photography which turned out amazing. It's actually on my facebook but only a few pictures so far.
After picking up the disc I watched television for a large part of the afternoon, specifically Season One of Brothers & Sisters. I then had a family dinner with my parents which was very nice to catch up with my brother and sister-in-law who's due in two weeks. As well I saw both my grandfathers as well.
After this I went and hung out with one of my friends for a bit for coffee, and then headed back home. Luckily last night was the season premieres of Desperate Housewives and Brothers & Sisters, both of which were suspenseful, happy, and tear-jerking which is something I love all the time. Other than that, I wound up staying up quite late, like 5, but actually I got to bed at 3 but was specifically woken up at 5am by my dog scratching due to the storm that had blown in. After that I finally got to bed.

FAME I'm Gonna Live Forever, I'm Gonna Learn How to Fly!
Hello everyone!
So what happened today? Well I went to bed at 2:30AM so finally an early sleep time, and then slept to 11:30 which meant I got nine hours sleep for once. I swear I was extremely happy about this because I was worried about not getting a good night's rest for once. When I got up I showered and did that whole thing, and then watched television. Afterwords I headed off to work and took Chris basically right back to my house to watch 27 Dresses and the Simpsons Movie. I then took him home and headed to a hair appointment, and then headed to FAME which was amazing frankly. I don't care what the damn critics say, they were wrong because this film was wonderful.
I then headed home and just started studying for my Personality Theory exam which is coming up on Thursday unfortunately.
I am really sorry everyone about this EXTREMELY short post, but nothing happened today so there really isn't much to say this time.

Life's What You Make It
Hi everyone! So it's the end of another week, which you have to admit is hard to believe. So I went to bed at I think it was 4 or 5AM because I had been making more study notes which sucked. So I woke up around 12:30PM so that my mother could text me to tell me that my Dad was going to pick me up at 1:40PM. (I had to stay at a friend's place due to my night course the night before.) So then I kind of just lay in bed for about an hour then finally got up. I got dressed and brushed my teeth and my Dad picked me up. We then picked up my mother from a lunch with a friend of hers and then headed home.
When I got home I quickly found an outfit for a dinner I would be attending that night and then headed out to get some Timmies. I then came back, watched an episode on Health and Weight of Dr. Oz. It was interesting for the most part and then played Prototype for a bit. I lost track of time however, so I had to rush out the door and pick up Chris. While I was at the dinner I did see a few people I knew and briefly chatted. Then had lasagna which oddly had mushrooms in it (WHO PUTS MUSHROOMS IN LASAGNA?!), and tried banana pie but it's official that I REALLY don't like pie. Then I took Chris home.
When I got home, after getting some Purell for myself, and a crossword puzzle and Doritos for my mother, I headed home. I then just watched television for most of the night, including my Brothers and Sisters Season One box set. Other than that? Nothing else much happened.
Talk to you again tomorrow!

All the Single Ladies!
Well I chose the title for this post because it was awesome last night on Glee. I hope everyone agrees with me here. Anyway, what happened today, I got to bed at about 4AM then woke up at 12:30, with class happening at 1:30PM. So I eventually dragged myself out of bed around 12:45PM and headed to the main building. I got brunch and then headed to my Personality Theory course. We learned about operational definitions among other things and it was rather dull, but at the same time quite interesting. I'm still quite happy I chose this major because otherwise I'm not sure if I'd be having as much fun.
After Personality Thoery I then headed over to my Psychology of Work, People and Organizations course. It was also for the most part pretty interesting, though man I hate that it takes so freaking long.
I then headed back home for four hours and just watched television and studied more for my personality exam which is next Thursday. I so wish it didn't have to be multiple choice, which is my worst form of testing. But I think as long as I am confident and know my material I'll be okay.
I then went to King's Players, where we just did some starting improvisation since there were several new members being freshman. I also apologized to Heather about what I had said last week as it had indeed been immature so I wanted to speak to her in person about it. I wasn't able to speak with Michiko though because she had to do rounds as an RA, so she was gone at the beginning and ending of the meeting so I couldn't chat with her privately, but I will try to catch her later. Anyway after that I came home and now I'm studying again. Well that's all there is friends!
