What a craptastic day.
I ended up staying up all night playing MW2. Literally all night. Like 9 straight hours of MW2. I stopped at around 5 which is when my dads alarm went off and got out of bed & got dressed up for my Great Uncle's funeral. He's my dad's aunt's husband so we aren't related by blood and I never met him but my dad wanted to go so I went with him so he would have a driving companion.
My close family on my dad's side (this includes me, my sister, my mom & dad, two aunts, two uncles, 5 cousins and my grandmother) absolutely hates the other side of my family for some reason. Not my mom's side, but my grandpa's siblings & their children. One of my grandpa's sisters (I don't know what that makes her in relation to me...Great neice? No idea) brought two different outfits to change into for the ceremony and the burial/reception. She's one of those people that soaks up attention regardless of whether or not it is deserved. She just strikes me as so...not...genuine. Or respectful. No wonder we never met them until my grandpa died.
Anyway. I managed to get about an hour of sleep on the way home after I played a little of my most recent DS game (Harvest Moon). And for some reason I am now completely awake and feel totally refreshed even though i've only had one hour of sleep in almost 48 hours now. I'm strange.
Plans for the evening include more MW2, chillin, maybe a bath with bubbles and all that jazz.
Till next time!

Dear May: Please be warmer. Kthnx
So it's already Cinco de Mayo. This time last year I was in Mexico laying on a beach or something equally relaxing. This year, i'm still in Calgary and it's snowing. Ew. What the hell.
I haven't really been up to anything or busy at all, just haven't had motivation to post a blog. I haven't even had motivation to play video games which is really sad. I souped up my resume and made it pretty. In Quark because I still haven't heard from the SAIT computer store about the Adobe CS4 Design Premium Suite for Mac coming back into stock yet. I tried to call but they close at 4 (20 minutes ago...of course)
It's nothing too special but at least its more eye-catching that the usual boring black and white lines of text.
I have all my final marks back now:
Big improvement from last semester. I went up from 3.06 to 4.0. That feels absolutely amazing haha.
In other news, tomorrow is Thursday and i'm going to Lethbridge to attend a funeral for my great Uncle. :( I don't do well at funerals. I hope I have waterproof mascara still.
And never one to end on a sad note, I found a dress for Shawn's sister's wedding that I love but its $130 so hopefully I can get a paycheck soon and pick that baby up before some girl steals it as a prom dress.
Anyway, that's all. Until next time!

ALMOST FREE!
Oh hai there.
By this time tomorrow I will be done school for the semester and it will be time for summer break!!!! Oh my god am I ever excited!!! I mean i'm totally gonna miss seeing all my friends and all my (nice) teachers but 4 months of working and partying is gonna be awesome!!
My last final is PrePress which is supposedly going to be a simple business card imposition, most likely with bleed, and shouldn't take longer than 45 minutes. Then it's off to the bar to celebrate with a couple (and I really do mean a couple...I have to drive!) drinks! Yay!
Recently I have become addicted to the show "Operation Repo". It's just hilarious and I love it because it's in LA and LA is freakin' awesome. I found a YouTube channel's playlist that has tons of clips from the episodes. Check it out here!
As soon as summer starts and I have a lot more spare time i'm going to remodel this blog because it feels too plain for me. Hopefully by the end of this week/next week i'll be in possession of the Adobe CS4 Design Premium Suite so I will be able to upgrade to CS5 which, I believe, is now available for purchase!

Dear Dad: I Love You
This one's going to be super personal so if that makes you uncomfortable, stop reading now.
My Dad is quite literally the most amazing person I know. My parents have been married for almost 25 years. For the last 10 or so years, my mom has had chronic back pain and requires multiple very expensive treatments. She hasn't been able to work as she can barely stand or sit for extended periods of time. Not once has my dad complained about spending his own money to pay for her treatments. Not once have I heard him say something negative about having to help clean and make trips to get groceries because my mom can't.
He wakes up at 5:30 every morning to go to work and gets home 12 hours later, just in time to have dinner, do anything my mom has on a list of things she needs, watch a little "Two and a Half Men" and fall asleep on the couch by 9:30. After all this hard work, he doesn't go out to Best Buy and purchase tons of fancy toys or buy cars or vacations, he puts it away or pays off the mortgage and bills.
My Dad has paid for my tuition and school expenses — not to mention every other expense including food, gas, entertainment...literally everything for the last year.
Me being the rebellious teenager that I was, I moved out before I was ready and Dad pretty much supplemented my rent for the next 9 months. Why should he? I moved out because I didn't want to listen to my parents anymore. He loves me so much he just wanted to make sure I was happy even if I wasn't under his roof anymore.
He works so hard for his family and never asks for anything but gratitude in return. And the kicker?
I've owed $2000 on my credit card since December...or so I thought.
My dad has been taking my credit card statements and phone bills for the last 4 months and paying them off without me knowing.
I currently only owe Mastercard $690. You are amazing.
Dad I love you so much. Any man I marry better be at least half as amazing as you or they have no chance.

I don't feel so baaaad
I've been stressing a lot lately about school and the marks i'm going to get because i just feel so insanely disorganized this semester. The semester started off so slack and then all this stuff got thrown on us at once and now it's like, two-three weeks to finals and it feels like we didn't do anything but we did soooo much at the same time.
All I have right now is the final web design project, 4 pages linked together with a navigational bar and a tabbed window dealio that I forget the name of because i'm so tired haha.
I've been really missing Mexico lately. I want to go back to living in 34ยบ weather, wearing shorts and a bikini top everywhere and partying till 4 in the morning every night. That was the best vacation of my life and I don't think anything else will ever compare to that. As much as I complained about how long it was and how much I missed my family, i'm sure that if I was offered the same opportunity again I would have to take it.
I really want to go to Vegas for my 21st birthday. Everyone that's actually been there has said it's amazing and they love it there. I don't want to gamble. That is the last thing I want to waste money on. I just want to go and see the strip and everything else Vegas has to offer. Yes i'm aware it's dangerous and people do stupid shit in Vegas but like I said, the last thing on my mind is throwing all my money away on a stupid table or slots. I'm so impatient, I can't sit at a slot machine and feed money into it until I win. I give up after like 5 spins.
Anyway, I think it's time for bed. The last thing I need is to be tired for tomorrow because i'm up blogging all night. Adios!

Happy Pumpkin Pie Day
Did you all know that December 25th is ACTUALLY Pumpkin Pie day? What the hell was Christmas thinking when it took all the attention away from delicious pie?! What the hell man?
Gabe and I finished our Pokemon mash-up poster! A really low quality preview:
Yes, I'm really lame today but I'm super tired and I think it's time to go to bed early & just sleep in for once.
If anything exciting happens in the next couple hours I might write another more awesome blog. Not likely....
Song of the Day: "Rude Boy" by Rihanna. Yes. It has been stuck in my head all day.

Frustrated
Yeah it's been a while again. I'm just really terrible at finding the motivation to write lately. However, YouTube is taking forever to load the videos I want to watch so as I wait for them to buffer, I will write.
Shawn was here for the weekend. It was fabulous. I spent way too much of his money and I feel slightly guilty but also awesome at the same time haha.
I feel sort of depressed lately. Like, overwhelmed, nervous, scared, sad...i'm in no way anywhere near suicidal or anything crazy like that. I just feel like I need an overhaul on my life and that i'm stuck or something right now. I think having a job or working would help that because I wouldn't feel so dependant on my parents and I want to have a job but I don't ever feel motivated enough to go out and do something about it. And when I did and I put out resumes, I never got any responses. Well I did but the one place that called me back, my mom didn't want me to work at. So I guess i'm not allowed to be choosy about where I work...unless it involves being "sexy" in the job description. Nice work Mom!
I was hoping to live in Residence at school next semester instead of having to commute every freakin day but there are many many things that worry me about that as well. I have a feeling that with my tendencies to forget about school work and party instead, I would never get any work done. I would probably show up for more classes on time. But then, what if I end up hating my room mate and we fight all the time or we're bitchy to each other or something. What if she's up all night and I can't sleep or, more likely, I can't sleep and i'm up all night and it pisses her off? I guess I shouldn't be worrying about that kind of stuff before it even happens but whatever! It's who I am.
I'm really excited to go back to school tomorrow and just get the rest of this semester finished and over with so I can make some money and relax a bit.
I think that's all I have to say for now.
