Well what can I tell you about this week. I went to buy my textbooks, or more went with my mom so she could buy my textbooks. I'm so glad she could because I was seriously worried about the money for them. I mean that's $300 for textbooks, that I'll only need for like 4 months. I mean I'll probably end up using them again because I'm taking similar classes or at least in the same field. I look forward to school starting again though, I am so sick of summer. I want to see my friends again and start learning (which as nerdy as it sounds is the thing I enjoy most in life).
On the exciting side of things, I'm going to see Wicked (the story of what happen before Dorothy went to Oz) with my mom this coming Sunday. I can't wait! I love going to shows and stuff like that with my mom. I love going to shows at all but I like going with mom because I feel like we really connect like that. We're more like best friends than mother and daughter.Some people think there is supposed to be a line between what a mother can talk to her daughter about but we kind of push the boundaries, so we're more like friends but it's good to be both.
I'm also going to try making my own potato chips. I'm a little worried that they won't turn out but it will definitely be an adventure. But if I somehow pull it off then they'll be healthier than the chips you can buy at the store because I'm going to bake them instead of frying them. And they'll be cheaper because the four potatoes I got were only like $2.50 and a bag of chips (the good ones at least) are like $4.00. I realize it doesn't sound like much but it'll add up.
The other girls are moving in sometime this week so I won't be alone here anymore. One comes on Sunday while I'm out with mom and the other comes sometime during the week, not entirely sure when. I'll tell you more when it happens, definitely going to take getting used to since the whole time I've been in this apartment it's been just me. I'll let you know.
Caio for now.

My Week in a Nutshell
Before I start, I realize how horrible that phrase is (by that phrase, I mean "in a nutshell"), but what else am I gonna say: "This week in summary", "Weekly Synopsis." No those just sound snobby. So I'm going with "in a nutshell" and you can deal with it. On the weird side, if I was in french with you in grade 12 then you'll probably think I'm horrible for using it but, oh well.
Where did I leave off, Monday? Well then, Tuesday was a long day. Maybe not long but I definitely did a lot. The morning started off pretty boring, the way all mornings do. Then mom texted me and asked if I wanted to go with her and dad to buy the new stove we'd been looking at (the oven in the old one kind of died, but we'd had it for 16 years so it's probably about time we got one). So that was fun, and because I went we all got lunch together so that was nice. That afternoon I had a thing for work, which isn't as bad as it sounds. Our store's managers (which includes me) volunteers at the Ronald McDonald House and makes dinner for the night. That's what we did. We made pizzas and Caesar salad and brownies for dessert and, believe it or not, there was nothing left. It was really nice, kind of bonding and team building together. After we were done at RMH, the group of us went out for supper. Which again was great for bonding, I think it really helped me because I'm still new to the management team so it gave me a chance to feel more included.
On Wednesday, I went to yet another course for work. I guess lots of other places have to do it too because it's through the Health Unit. It was a food handlers course so it's all like hand-washing procedures and what temperatures things should be kept at, and how to prevent like bacteria or pests. It was really the most boring thing I've ever done but I had to do it and now it's over with. Plus, if I did it well enough I won't have to do it again for 5 years. So that'll be good. The rest of Wednesday was pretty much just hang out and enjoy the day.
Thursday was my first day back at work after the weekend. So it was I guess pretty routine. I mean how interesting could it be. Pretty much the same deal on Friday. But I worked in the morning on Friday then after work I went to my parents to be there when the stove arrived, because someone over 18 had to be there, turns out I didn't really need to because they were there when I got there so dad was there to sign for it. Which would bring us to today. Saturday. I worked again (you're going to get used to hearing this, I've been working a lot. Well maybe not a lot but on many days, even though the hours don't seem to be adding up to what I had hoped). That's really it. Now I'm here typing this wondering what the hell to have for supper. Maybe I'll just skip supper and have the grapes mom bought me yesterday. Unless I can talk my parents into dropping off leftovers from their anniversary dinner tonight, but I don't think that'll happen. It'll just have to be a simple thing I guess, probably pasta, unless I feel like microwaving that chicken pot pie I have in the fridge. I hope your week has been more exciting than mine :)

It's Monday. Or Should I Say "Meh"-Day
So yes, it's Monday. I guess nothing fantastic really happened. I got done all my "chores" for the day before noon. I even went to the mall today and bought my sister a birthday present, even though there is still more than a month until her birthday. I know that's dumb but now I have it and it won't be two days before her birthday with me thinking "oh my god I still haven't gotten her a present" like I did with my dad. It was a great moment. Both my mom and I realized the same thing and we spent the day out shopping together. The present I got my sister is pretty cute...in a really weird way. It's a living dead doll, but that's what she's into right now so I'm sure she'll love it.
Oh, and this is my first full day back at the apartment, hence the over-productivity and the mall trip. On the plus, side one of my friends came over and we hung out for a while. He's pretty awesome. I'm so glad he came over, like this day was so long but it was nice to have someone to talk to for a bit. I mean writing this is great, but trust me, it would be way longer if I hadn't talked to him. Ok honestly, his name's Tom, he was in a couple of my classes at school last year. Definitely a nice guy, a little chatty to study with, but a nice guy. Oddly enough he came out early this summer, I never would've guessed, but I'm happy for him. At least he knows what he's looking for. I mean, he even has people coming after him, I'm sure it helps that he actually goes out. Still the attention must be nice. I don't say this to make me sound desperate.
You know the point in being single when you see other people dating and it makes you angry inside. I think that's kind of where I'm at right now. Every so often I'm okay with it but there's always the point where it's like "that's too much".
Enough of my whining. More of an exciting week ahead. Tomorrow, most of the day off then the management team (me included) are going to volunteer at the Ronald McDonald House, we're making dinner for all the people staying there. Wednesday I'm going to another boring class for work, food handlers. Apparently it's about food safety so I don't look forward to it much. Then the other days I'm working for at least part of the day every day but that keeps it kinda interesting I guess.
Anyway, caio for now.

BSM 2.0
It was the second day of BSM I don't feel like I've learned anything ground breaking, or even hard to remember for the test that we have to take tomorrow. I am not concerned at all. I'll look through our book in the morning and then just do my best to remember what we learn tomorrow. I mean we're in the restaurant practicing all day so it'll be like a day long refresher on the rest of the class. Couldn't be that bad. I wonder if I can get Dean's List again, I did for the TL class (it's above 90%, I thought it was about 80% but the teachers on Monday said 90%).
In the meantime, at home, in the less interesting world where I'm currently doing nothing but watching HIMYM and writing this, my sister has been leaving a lot to hang out with her friends and I'm a little curious about what she's actually doing. I mean she's goes out like every other night, late like right now, not earlier in the day when it would make sense to go out and do anything with anybody. She leaves, she says nothing about what she does when she's gone, and I mean we don't even really know the people that she goes to hang out with. It's just weird. And mom and dad have found empty beer cans and stuff when she was the only one home. Ooooo even yesterday we opened the liquor cupboard (oddly above the stove) and found the Jack Daniels lower than Dad left it, and neither me nor Mom would drink any of it. So I have a funny feeling it was her, like what else would it be.
I'm not really sure what to say here because I have nothing hugely important to say.
Caio for now.

BSM. And no the BS does not mean Bull $#!+
So my day is coming to a close, well for the most part. We've finished for the day at this course I have to take for work, BSM (Basic Shift Management). It was probably the longest day ever and it was the same stuff I learned in the other two classes I've done. Alright, so this class does go for three days and I'm sure the next two days will contain information that is new or at least more in depth than today.
Oo! On the plus side, I got a guys number today. Isn't that exciting!? Wanna hear the rest of the story? He's gay -_- like what is that, I don't think I like repel normal guys but does anyone find me attractive? Seriously? I know my ex still does but does that really count. The only guys who have complimented me at all (other than my dad) recently have been gay. I am not against gays at all, but like do guys not notice me at all?
Ok that's all the whining I'll do.
Caio for now :)

Gotta get back to Hogwarts!!!
Okay so apart from the totally nerdy title to this post, I'm a pretty normal university student. I'm a second year university student going for a double major in psychology and thanatology (which is the study of grief and bereavement, because I know you're all wondering) and I work at a McDonald's in the city that I go to school (and yes I'm aware that that also sounds lame, but hey you need to pay tuition somehow). What the title of the post is trying to get across, is that I really want to go back to school. It's like I'm getting dumber by the day and I need the mental exercise in order to get my normal level of intelligence back. It's just like if you don't play a game or sport for a long time and then you start to suck at it because you haven't played it for a while.
Plus, there are so many of my friends I haven't seen since school got out (all right, I've seen a few of them but not as much as we had all intended) and really it'd be nice to see them again. And more one the nerdy side, I actually enjoy school, I love learning. I'm sure there are other people that do too but they don't admit it, because really who else would.
Anyway, I guess about me would be some good information if you'll be reading this more often (which I don't really expect, but if you do please feel free). So I'm 20 and yeah, I'm a second year university student. I'm currently single and I'm not really sure if it's a "single and ready to mingle" or "single and lovin' it". It's just a kind of I don't care, I guess I'll survive type single. I like school, which you've already learned, and I also really enjoy reading. One of my favourite series is Harry Potter, always has and always will be. The title of the post came from A Very Potter Musical, YouTube it, you'll figure it out. (Also, this musical is partially accredited for my love of Darren Criss). I like TV like almost any 20 year old, currently becoming or actually addicted to How I Met Your Mother and truly enjoy The Vampire Diaries (the cast is full of hot guys, who in their right mind wouldn't like it).
I guess this blog will be about what goes on in life, I mean the title of the blog is kind of self explanatory. Who knows, maybe there will be info on parties, or guys, or stressful exams, or guys, or work, or guys...I'm really hoping for guys. I'll try to post frequently but who knows, it could be a busy year. :)
