Whoa, update.

It's been a while... I haven't really kept this thing up to date. Stuff has been busy, and therefore I have my priorities. This, though my personal blog, has very few readers. Therefore, it is not a priority.

Anyway, on to the update. I'm in university now. Moved off to York, started classes last week. Things are going well, I'm enjoying my courses thus far. Residence is definitely interesting. I haven't really met anyone, as I was not there for frosh, but I'm still enjoying myself. I'm sure things will pick up eventually...

There's not a whole lot to update, really... There is, but there's no real point in going through it. I will say, however, that I will be making a video journal this weekend. It's nore for my friends on Roosterteeth, but I'm sure it will be enjoyable for all. I will be sure to post it here once it's finished.

And with that, I'm off. Have a good weekend.

Chillaxin'

Wow, busy week. The good news is, I'm off until Tuesday. I have a lot of work set out for me next week, but I'm not thinking about that now. I have three relaxing days of weekend ahead of me. A weekend full of absolutely nothing.

Awesome-sauce.

I'll probably get up to some writing (I'm working on a story with an online friend of mine). Hopefully I can finish my part of the first chapter by the end of the weekend.

I also got my statement for the first year of university (tuition, and residence). It's going to cost me $11,085.60... I'm going to call my grandpa on Monday, set up a meeting to go to the bank and whatever.

Later kids, have a great weekend.

Update.

So it's been a while since I've written a journal. I was tired of copying and pasting from my other stuff, so I just stopped. I figured I'd give you few readers an update.

Not a whole lot has been going on. Work is pretty good. It's monotonous and I'm running out of stuff to do, but I'm making money so I'm happy. As for money, university costs a lot. I need to get some stuff sorted out soon, or else I may lose my spot at York...

I had a party last night, which went well. There were fewer people than last time, so it was much less chaotic. I was happy with how it turned out. Hopefully I can have another one or two before I head off to York.

I got my first credit card last week. It's exciting. I'll be buying some stuff online in the next couple weeks, which is one of the main reasons why I got it. I'm getting a Zune and some clothes from J!NX, which is pretty awesome.

I still haven't decided whether to frosh or not... Depends how much I've made by that point, I guess. We'll see.

First Day

So I worked my first day today. It was good. Very relaxed, a nice start.

It's a little bit tedious, but I'll get used to it. I don't really have a concrete job, I'm just there to help out with whatever. So this first week will basically be adaptation.

We started out talking for about an hour regarding the company, what they do, and what my responsibilities will be. Then I was taught how to use the contact manger program that they use, which I would need to familiarize myself with rather quickly because they just purchased a newer version.

I then spent the rest of the morning checking and updating contacts and familiarizing myself with the program so that I could import all of the old contacts (and there are a fuck-ton) when we made the upgrade. Somewhat tedious, but a nice relaxing start to the day.

After lunch, I played around with the boss's PDA, as he is a technophobe and has no idea how to use it, so he wants me to learn how to work it so that I can teach him. I played with it for a good three hours, which was a nice waste of time.

Tomorrow I will be installing the new program, updating the contacts, and attempting to sync the new program with the PDA (as that is the main reason why it was purchased). Should be an interesting day, I'm looking forward to it. And I'll be alone for the first half, because my boss has a doctor's appointment in Toronto. Fun fun.

The hours weren't too bad. I was still asleep when I got in at 8 (woke up at 5:30), but I got out around 5:30 so it's all good. I should have a nice paycheck at the end of next week. I'll be opening a savings account that I can't access from my debit so that I can't spend my cash... Just in case.

I'm hopefully seeing Transformers after work tomorrow, but it all depends on whether I can milk some cash out of my parents. Anyways, I need to sleep. Have a great week guys!

I'M ACCEPTED!

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!
