So relieved.

Despite the fact that I am exhausted from midterms and work, and the fact that this morning I stepped on an earring and it went through my heel and my heel now feels like it's bruised, and the fact that grocery shopping today was an ordeal, and the fact that this is the ugliest run-on sentence of my life, I am so happy! So glad to be done tests until exam time and I have nothing to do tonight. What does that mean? I can sleep? Hmm?Loverly.

Poem.

Barely morning,
late October.
You wouldn't believe
we were sober.
It's not a game,
but we broke the rules.
We're not the same,
but we're both fools.

Love always,

Janelle

Love!

I just saw Across the Universe and I loved it. I loved it more than I thought I would. It was surprisingly intense. There was even a part where I really wanted to cry. The littlest things made me so happy ... the old guy at the beginning " 'I thought to myself, when I'm sixty-four...' " and " ' Where'd she come from?' 'She came through the bathroom window' ". Ahhh, so good. I need to stop distracting myself from midterm studying...

Love always,

Janelle.

Bliss.

Ignorance is bliss.

Ignor(e)ance is bliss.

That might be stupid, but personally I think stupidity is trying to sneak around a right corner before a cement truck does. (As witnessed today while walking home from English). People are stupid and I am a person. I won't be afraid to include myself in this stupidity, because sometimes I really am. For now, I'm just going to ignore it.

Love always,
Janelle

Irritating:

I am trying to study for my accounting midterm, but I feel like I'm running through a forest blind. It's absolutely hopeless, and fairly annoying. What's more is I have to read something for Philosophy, complete an English assignment (copy Hemingway's writing style..eugh) and do three peer evaluations. I could personally care less about Philosophy because the professor will take 3 classes explaining each word in intense detail while the class drools all over the 35 page print off. English might be easy to do right before class and the peer evaluations should be done quickly, but I like to complain.

There is something about complaining that is so satisfying, and whether you realize it or not, you probably do it sometime. I know it's a habit so I don't even bother trying to hide it. So often when I am talking with someone, some part of the conversation involves each party complaining about pretty much whatever. We don't even necessarily listen to what the other person is saying, we just spit out whatever might have been annoying us recently. John says, "My cat pissed on my alarm clock this morning". Julie replies, "Yeah, shitty. Fuck my neck is sore and I'm so thirsty I think I'm going to pass out". The subject of the conversation isn't the content of what is actually being said, the subject is "insert complaint here". As annoying as it may be too listen to everyone's complaints, getting yours out is almost a relief of some kind. However, I do find my own voice annoying after a while and have to change the content of the conversation. Bigger complaints, I probably put here.

I think I'm the same way with excitement too. If I'm really pumped about anything, I always change the subject to it. I hope I'm not the only one out here...anyways, back to schoolwork I go!

P.S.- In Tim Horton's today, Avril Lavigne's latest was on the radio and I noticed she stole a line from Ashlee Simpson. "You make me wanna scream". No. Bad Avril. I am embarassed that I know this, or that I was ever a fan of Avril Lavinge, or ever went to her concert....

First Day.

My first day at Timmy's was rather odd. I was given no training, which was fine because I was only running drinks and that has been ingrained in my skull even after a year. Still, it seemed odd just to walk out to the counter and start making coffee. Also, we don't time the coffee. At home after 20 minutes we had to dump the coffee, here we use our discretion. However it goes fast enough, I doubt we're breaking our "always fresh" policy. Everything else is laid back too, standing and chatting while it's dead wasn't a big deal apparently (not that it happened often, and if it did it lasted for a minute) and we could have drinks up front as long as we weren't drinking while taking an order or something. Speaking of drinks, we are allowed to have as many as we want! As long as they are not bottled or iced capps, they are essentially free! For $1.70 a shift, I can have whatever food or drink I want. Good deal. It really was weird though, knowing how to make everything and not having to be followed around by a trainer, but I guess it was nice. :)

On a completely different note, here is my Christmas wish list so far:

--DVDs-seen them, or not, movies are the best study break in the world.
--Money (Cash or watcard)
--Large Puma bag. However they're pretty pricey and I might just get it myself.
--EARRINGS! I'm losing mine..
--Mascara (seriously, it's expensive and I don't want to buy it myself)
--Love-The Beatle's
--Case for glasses. A nice one. One that is big. The one my glasses came in doesn't close when the cloth and glasses are in it at the same time. I can't leave the glasses out and the cloth gets dirty if it is elsewhere.
--a post secret book!

That's all..for now, I will keep this updated.


Leave a comment if you actually read this. I don't know if anyone does. I enjoy doing it anyways.

Love always,

Janelle.

Pleasantly Surprised.

My new job, at Timmy Hoes, pays $9.25 an hour! How excellent is that. The downsides are that that I have to pay for my uniform and my weekends will probably be eaten away a bit. BUT for only $1.70 a shift, half hour before or after, I get free food! None of this "you can have tea and a donut...or a sandwich but it's only 30% off" business. I can probably get a free meal 4 days a week. MONEYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!

In other news, it has been decided that the male sex, despite popular belief, is just as confusing as or more confusing than the female sex.

Also, I am excited because I am probably going to a show on Saturday night. "Last Five Years" it is called. Only $10! Woooop.

Ok I'm really tired and I can tell because this is not proceeding in any logical order.

*still smiling about the fact that she will have money in her pocket soon, oh so soon*

Re: Classes thus far.

Correction 1: My French prof. is still crazy, but the class is monotonous and has proven to be less intensive. How well I do is (not so surprisingly) dependent on how I study. Everything we are taught in class has already been taught to me in Grade 12 French. I never thought I would thank Ms. Rajabally for those study sheets, but they have been the most useful tool for FR 192A. I'm not even worried about being tested on pronouns next week! (Anyone who has studied French knows pronouns are a B-I-T-C-H).

Correction 2: I will never take another English course again unless is is absolutely necessary or it is a creative writing type coarse. Maybe it's the 20th Century that is stimulating my gag reflex, but I'm pretty sure it's all the bullshitting that's making me sick. I wonder how I ever wanted to major in English. From now on, I read and analyze what literature I want to , when I want to and how I want to. Peace English department.

Correction 3: AFM 131 is not alright. It is 1 hour and 20 minutes wasted pointing out logical conclusions that anyone could make. There are two reasons I go to class: 1) I get a portion of my mark from clicker quizzes and I usually get 100%. I need all the marks I can get there because my group term assignment is struggling to stay afloat. And 2) Sometimes, Sproule's jokes are funny nad he sometimes has interesting stories/details to share. For instance today we talked about Dell and their Just-in-time production method. It explains why my computer was so delayed. They don't order parts until customers order parts. Very smart Dell, but not so much when you have to ship orders a month late. I would never have bothered to find this on my own, but perhaps it's only interesting because it relates to me somehow. Anyways...

I'm not even going to start on Philosophy, which would be correction number 4.
