Summer Plans

Hey Guys!

So no, finals aren't over yet, but i just finished writing three in three days, so I get a little break :P But even with two more to come next week I am excited for summer! It's going to be my longest summer yet, four months! FOUR! So you bet I'm excited.

My work load is supposed to go down this summer since I'm a manager and work 10-13+ hour shifts a day... yay... When I said that my work load is going down I meant my work days :P The hours are still going to be long. But I'm hoping that this years crop is going to be a good team that makes me not mind being on my feet for 12 hours. Speaking of work, I got ST and W to work with me this summer, along with one of my other friends, so it would probably be pretty cool. Also my boss has huge plans for the summer and I'm hoping it's all going to work out cause the plans are really great and I see them working out really well :)

Aside from work, I plan on reading as much as I can, I read 19 books last summer and I'm hoping to top that, cause my summer is even longer, and because I have a HUGE amount of books that I own and haven't yet read, along with the fact that the list just keeps growing thanks to the books I still want to buy. I want to get to the point where I only get a point when I'm going to read that, but I would have to get the books I already have out of the way before that can happen. So this summer I'm going to try! I currently have 19 books owned to read and 7 that I want to get (or borrow from the library). My goal for the summer is 30 books :D

I'm also planning to hang out with my friends as much as possible, there are so many things I want to do this summer. I want to go to the wax museum that is going to be at the Eaton Center this summer, it seems interesting with over 120 wax figures to check out :) Plus it's only14$ for student (18$ regular admission). I also want to check out this place near Place des Arts metro that has musical swings. , the each swing makes one note and as your swing you make different sounds depending on the speed that you are swinging at. I also want to go out for supper or lunch or even coffee with a few of the friends I haven't been able to catch up with in the past year because of school. W and I also want to explore Montreal, we were both born and raised here, but we both feel like we don't know our city that well. We think that it would be a good experience to go to different places in the city, even the touristy places and just get to know our city better. We want to do things like spend a day at the old port, or just walk around Mount-Royal or Parc Jean-Drapeau. We are both planning to document our summer with pictures and little videos and then do a huge compilation at the end of the summer (although it would never end up on this blog because of the principle of the blog :P)

I might also be going to Florida towards the end of the summer with two of my friends from high school and one of their parents. She asked me to go down last year but I wasn't able to take the time off, so I'm going to try to go this year and I'm hoping the plans work out cause I really want to go to Florida and of course DISNEY! if we get the chance :D I'm still a child at heart and the thought of going to Disney World still gets me super excited... well does one ever tire of going to Disney World?

We're also planning to paint my whole house over the summer, which means that I will be remodeling my room (a little since I already remodeled everything a few months ago). I want to get rid of somethings and brings a few new things in, and get all my things organized, cause although my room is clean, I would not call it organized, it is currently at an organized mess level :P My brother and I also have ideas about how to reorganize the things in our house a little to change up the look a little. Hopefully that all works out too :D

And I also want to get my creative side back this summer, I want to start sketching again. I've noticed that my sketches are horrible lately and I want to get that little creative touch back, I don't want to be a super great artist or anything, but just get back to the level I used to be at. I also want to start writing stories again, I used to do it when I was younger, I would make plots and ideas for stories and do the whole character backgrounds and everything (I still have most of them on file), but I never got to finishing or writing the stories. I've looked over some of the old plot lines and sadly, almost every story looks about the same. I want to give that a try again this summer and see if I can actually finish the story this time :P

So here you have it, my current plans for the summer :P

P.S. if you you guys know of any cool places I should check out in Montreal please tell me about them :)

She's Back & a Busy Schedule

Hey guys!

So guess what! ST is back, yes you heard me right, she is back, well to be fair I don't remember if I told you guys that she was out of town... I think I did, but I really don't remember. But she is back! And that's all that matters! I missed her so much, I've spent a month not seeing her. When I got her text message, I stood in the freezer at work just to reply to her text. Yes I'm super excited that she is back, and I'm even willing to wake up early to see her tomorrow, and yes, I am aware that for that to happen, I should be in bed by now, but, bad sleeping habits die hard.

And I know I've been posting regularly and now all of a sudden I just stopped posting for a while, but to be honest nothing much is going on in my life at the moment. I'll let you guys in on a secret (if you haven't already figured it out), my life is super boring. Well there you have it, there is my secret.

Basically, I'm getting geared up for orientation wee at school. I have a bunch of events lined up, along with work (luckily LaRonde is closed for the week) so I have a little more time to organize events into. I have events for every day next week, of course not all are linked to school. I have a friend coming form Vancouver to visit, and I have to, absolutely have to see her cause I didn't have time to last year. I have to see ST, I have the organized events with school, I have work (what else is new, although only during the weekend) and I have a BBQ with some of my co-workers. It's a jam packed week and the fact that it's labour day weekend that weekend does not help me one bit. But I'm hoping everything is going to work out, fingers crossed.

And before you ask, or before you think I forgot, I'm going to state now that I'm not going to be going to my FROSH. For those who don't know what FROSH is, it's orientation week sure, but what most people know it as is a week long party where freshmen get to know one another and party and get drunk. I unfortunately will not be attending because a) it's $135 (yes, I'm cheap), b) LABOUR DAY weekend = work (I know what you're thinking, but let me tell you now, my boss isn't that old and he isn't stupid either, he knows about FROSH) c) I'm not into alcohol and partying d) one of the days is at LaRonde and frankly, anytime I'm there even for fun, it feels like work. So you can say I'll regret not going all you want, but I don't think I will.

Until next time! I simply need sleep, I need a decent face to see ST tomorrow morning, and I need a pretty face for the birthday party I'm going to tomorrow as well. Wish me luck on my tight schedule next week. Boy problems will be on another post because I am simply too tired for my own good.

p.s. Tell me if you guys went/ are going to your FROSH.
