I just got an email from York saying. . .
"As you've been given an offer of admission, we'd like to re-confirm important information about what's coming up..."
THAT'S RIGHT KIDS, I've been accepted!!
Oh, I'm so giddy right now. Unfortunately I can't accept the acceptance yet, because the stupid application site takes a while to update, but hopefully I'll have it done by the end of the day. I'm so excited, I'm shaking... This is fantastic!
Hope you all have a great day, weekend, and whatever. Wow, this is shaping up to be a fantastic summer!!

I'm finished... Again!
So I'm officially done school. Well, I was done yesterday, but I got doing stuff so I couldn't post a journal.
My exams went well. They were really long this year, and pretty tough. I did them all as well as possible, but I'm sure I could've put more into it. Hopefully I end off with decent marks.
Yesterday was interesting... After my exam, I was supposed to meet my mom at the mall at around 12:30. She had a doctor's appointment, so she couldn't get me right after the exam. So I started walking, and I came to the intersection that I was supposed to turn at and thought "You know what, I don't want to wait around... I'm just going to walk home." It seemed like a good idea at the time, so I just kept walking past the intersection. I had the way mapped out in my mind, so it didn't seem that bad. And the I got to a point where I realized "Wait... Gill is a really long fucking road. Shit." and by that point I was too far to turn back. So I kept walking... and walking... for four and a half hours.
I didn't get home until 2:30, and my mom was freaked out (because I had no way of contacting her). I wanted to call her and let her know what was going on, I just had no way to do so. When I got home, I called her right away. She was a little upset, but it was all good. Definitely a learning experience.
It was also especially brutal because I had my schoolbag with me (laptop bag, not backpack), and had nothing to drink or eat... Yeah, it was fun.
As for the rest of my week, I'm sleeping in, maybe going to a friend's place to swim, and them partying it up over the long weekend (Canada Day, bitches)! And then I start work on Tuesday. Exciting.
So, there's my update of teh life. Hope you all have a good week, and for all of my Canadian brethren, have a fantastic Canada Day!!

By the way, I'm getting drunk tonight as a celebration of summer's arrival. If you want to join me o Skype, let me know. It'll be mostly metal-threaders from RvB, but all are welcome.

Summer is a-coming in; arise, arise.
So we've come to the end. I have one more exam to go, and then I'm free. I'm not really worried about the exam. Actually, I'm not worried at all. I can't improve my mark enough to change my previous one, so there's no point in worrying about doing well. Unfortunately I still haven't been accepted to York, but whatever; I'll probably be going to Georgian anyway.
As for summer plans, I've got lots. On top of the many parties that are foreseen in these next two months, I have a job!! That's right, I got the job I was talking about in the last entry. It's awesome because Phil's first words when he saw me were "this is a job offering, not a job interview" so that lifted all anxiety out of the air. I will be working full-time; Monday to Friday, 8 to 5, $10 an hour. It's gong to be pretty awesome. As I mentioned before, it will be primarily filing, and other general office help.
I'm excited for the summer. I'll have some cash, and there will be a mountainous amount of parties. And with money, I'll be able to get my license, which means more job opportunities as well as easier party access. It's shaping up to be a good year, my friends.

HAZAA!!
I don't know if I mentioned this before, but I've been trying to get a job with a family-friend over the summer, but it's been really difficult to set up a meeting. Well, summer is almost here (two weeks) and I was getting really nervous, so I emailed the guy. Well, he just replied, and set up a lunch meeting on Tuesday!! I'm excited, it'll be my first job, and it'll be really good. Most importantly, it'll look damn good on a resume, so I'll have more opportunity for jobs after the summer (if I don't get into York).
What I'll be doing, I have yet to know. The guy does real-estate valuation or something along those lines, so I'll probably be doing filing or other medial tasks. I'm looking forward to it though, it should pay well. I'll let you guys know how the meeting goes.
Have a great week!
