my hair wants me to be emo

Great thing about this short haircut is that after being drenched in other's and your own perspiration, my hair will look fine after its dry. Can't say much about how it will smell...

Also..., I didn't know Chris (singer from propagandhi) was so hot. I had a good time, though I went alone and left alone. Hostage Life was playing first and I liked most of their stuff, and there was some nice looking bandmates. Brutal Knight wasn't the right sound for me, but the singer was really entertaining to watch and even came down from the stage to sing. Only regret, I wished I had tried to listen to Propagandhi's newer material as half the set was from them. Well at least now, I'm sort of warming up to their new sound.

Rest of the weekend was pretty good. Saturday night, I went to Brittany's skull/pirate theme party. There was some rather good curry and cake served. Then I headed to the Reverb for Subspace fet night with Alexzander. That was pretty fun. I liked the music they played. But we didn't stick around for the end of the slave auction. I got invited by an asian woman (who i thought was rather pretty) to be thronged by herself and I'm guessing her man-friend. I awkwardly accepted, but they never came back for me, which I think was all for the best. I may be a sub, but I don't like other people attempting to turn me on, especially if it's by a guy I'm not seeing. I wouldn't mind too much if it was just a girl, or if I was single.

I also go to talk to my mom this Sunday morning for like an hour which was nice. I miss her a bit. And I also go to talk to Daniel, who's all the way in vancouver. We chatted about music, free food, relationships, and career. I advised him against joining the army, but essentially told him to pick what he feels strongest about.

I heart you Calculus and yet I hate you. No, I don't hate you. I just hate the pressure of school.

Sorry, haven't updated in a while. Busy and nothing really new at the moment.

I was feeling a little off last week, for no real good reason. I guess it was either hormornal or brain chemistry was off. I did use it to write some stuff down. I'll have all the writings posted on D.A. later once I fill up the little notebook.

Today I had a test. I thought it wasn't too bad, which is actually a bad sign as usually when I think I did okay, I did worse... a lot worse in most cases. So I'm gonna write this one off (again...) and focus on the next test and exam. I don't mind if I don't get a too great a mark, but I have to more careful as every mark now is going to count towards whether I will get into grad school or not. Well, not just the marks, I have to understand the material quickly.

I will be hugely disappointed if I don't make it.

Tomorrow I have an interview at 10am. Then I'm gonna go check out some shoe store, lol. Pick up some birth control. If I have time, have lunch with Ted. I have an appointment at 2pm with the temporary Chair of Physics to help sort out my course problem with chemistry as well as get a new security card for Ted to get into the physics building. In the evening, I may get to go see HellBoyII with Ted as well.

******************************

I made a mistake getting this job. I hate these jobs that don't guarantee me hours or work. People at the lower end of the ladder are always screwed first b/c the business doesn't know how to communicate or make good choices. I want to work during this year, but second year really is going to be full and "brutal". I'm debating to drop my genetics course and take it next year. I really wish I could've taken a cushy 9-5 office job with solid hours, but alas, summer school. Makes me want to reconsider doing that again for next summer.

Well, I think I'm gonna push it for next year. I really do need the money. I may have to cut back on time doing activism though. I'll definitely help out but not put myself for everything. Unlike most of the poli-sci majors there, I can't hand in a paper weeks after it's due. That and since I will be more involved in the Astronomy club, and hopefully join the Physics club this year, my time will definitely be more divided. Also, FreeSAY always hosted events that I enjoyed.

At least I won't have to manage around a 40 minute commute. Yippee.

**********************************

Friday morning, I'm gonna go talk to Financial Services and ask them about how to get my OSAP. I know I have to write a letter of family break down so I can bypass the asking about my parental income b.s. Then I can apply to York for work study or a bursary *cross fingers*. Once I know the outcome of that, I'll have a better idea of whether I should drop courses and work p.t. Personally I'll rather do school f.t. and work the summer f.t. This summer I had to take calc II for next year, otherwise, I would've only taken a summer course if it was in the evening or one day of the week.

Oh So Tired

Went out last night after work. Was initially gonna have to go clubbing all by my wee self, but Alexzander was able to make it. I was downtown a little early (coming straight from Square One after work). So I stopped by at a bookstore to get something to read. Picked up an Upping The Anti magazine, issue 6; then had some food at Shanghai Cowgirl, where I met up with Mike and Alexz. Had a blast at RvM, but was a little too tired to keep up with DarkRave music. Now I am tired as fuck and my mind is going in slowmo, whilst I have this lingering feeling that I'm gonna get a headache, but it never comes (not that I want it to).
