What an interesting month is has been!
Recap: I quit Regal, got a new job, accepted a non-paid (damn it) position as Senior Camera Operator for PSU-TV and made some new friends. (That last one sounded a little pathetic) I also went to Seattle to visit Ivan and Brashley. Thanksgiving was lame since I didn't eat any meat. And I recently have developed yet another plan for my future: Masters Degree in Public Policy. I realized I really like playing video games (not only Nancy Drew games, that is). And I found out my dad doesn't "believe" in global climate change - this news has strengthened my desire to move out.
I haven't reached self-actualization yet but I'm on my way.
P.S. Sean Bean got married last year to a 29 year old actress. I've been thinking about this a lot, and if he'll marry someone 20 years younger than him why not someone 30 years younger? I want to be bride number five; wish me luck, please. |

I'm struggling to decide what I want to do for school. I could be done at PSU as soon as winter term 2010. I like the idea of having six months off before going to grad school. On the other hand, I want to get a second degree in environmental studies. That would, however, keep me at PSU until spring 2011. After that I don't think I would have the motivation or loan capacity to go on to grad school. As usual I don't know what to do nor do I feel compelled strongly one way or the other. I really want to get out of Vancouver but I also want to be able to get a job when I'm done with school. Hmmm... I think I need to find my Pro-Con notepad to figure this one out.

I woke up early to get to PSU's library when it opened to check out a course reserve book so that I could read the assigned readings before taking the online quiz. There are 40 people in the class who need the book of which there is only one copy, so I figured my best bet for getting the book before noon (when the online quiz times out) was to be first in line at the Circulation Desk. It worked; I got the book. I read the book then took the quiz WHICH CONTAINED NO QUESTIONS FROM THE COURSE RESERVE BOOK I WOKE UP AT THE CRACK OF DAWN TO READ. I'm a little bit frustrated right now. And I have nothing to do because I got here so early and I've already done most of my homework for NEXT week. |

My mom just gave me a lecture on not to drink and drive. Um, I don't even have a driver's license. She was yelling at me too. I was laughing which I think made her angry. |

I turn 19 in six weeks. I plan to make the most of my last teenage year. So you all better get ready. Things are about to get crazy. |

I am going to compose a poem just now to express my current emotions in a semi-cryptic fashion.
Ode to seven weeks ago!
How good life seemed
But changes came and hearts refrained, oh
This is what fate has deemed.
A change of appearance
Cannot hide me forever or at all
In these moments I’ve lack brilliance
Is life a series of pratfalls?
I make plans to leave
But stay
These thoughts try to be pensive
Rhyming is not my forte
My self-reflective poem
Offers no real insight
Just another Saturday night at home
It seems as though there is nothing to excite
School wears on my mind
Learning but what
Skills acquired are confined
All seems stuck in a rut
Okay, yeah. I don’t know. It seemed like a good idea. I always had trouble at structuring and rhyming when it came to poem writing. But poems can do whatever they want, right? I'm debating not posting this because of its absurdity. |

| This is nothing. |
[Feb. 9th, 2009|11:15 am] |
I really have nothing going on in my life right now.
I've just been going to school and work and attempting to make an effort at maintaining a small social life.
I wish there were exciting things to report but alas!
The closest thing to "exciting" news is that I'm having a bad hair day so I'm wearing a hat. Bet you've never seen me in a hat. It's that bad.
Yes, that is the most interesting information about my life that I can muster at this time. |

| People, it was an inch of snow. Calm down. |
[Jan. 28th, 2009|12:57 pm] |
I was suppose to go with Ali to get our Food Handler's Card at the VA Hospital yesterday, but the snow and Ali's car didn't get along. I decided I might not go to school since I no longer had a ride, but changed my mind after I realized lecture was going to be on Charlie Chaplin! (I love Charlie so much!) So I went to the 99th Street Transit Center to catch a bus to P-Town. I got there and learned that no buses were running to Portland since the snow/idiots who effed up both bridges to Oregon. I waited for an hour to get on a bus that would take me as far a Delta Park. The C-Tran driver was really nice and told me I could ride for free, so that made it a little better. I got off at the Max Station and rode into the city. I'd never rode the Max before so that was an adventure. I then had to walk about 15 blocks to the 2nd farthest building on campus. I was late, and my professor usually yells at late students. However, he didn't yell at me, just glared. I shouldn't have gone to class; it was lame and pointless. Although we did talk about Monsieur Verdoux, but my teacher said it was a silent film. It wasn't; I felt smart for having seen it and knowing otherwise.
Now that class was over, I was wet from my travels, lonely, and hungry. I bought a bagel on campus and made friends with the guy at Noah's Bagels. We bonded over lip-piercings. He told me he wanted to see me again...it was nicely odd. I walked to Borders to buy DVDs. On my way I met a Children International peddler who told me I looked old enough to buy alcohol. He gave me a hug, so that was cool. I lady on the street also stopped me to tell me I have good fashion sense. I then went to Nord. Rack and bought more clothes.
I bummed a ride home with my mom. There was no way I was getting on another bus yesterday. I ate off-brand Top Ramon when I got home and then went to be at 6:30. My day was okay. |

I made a post before about how Nathan indirectly made me feel bad about not liking PSU more. I retract my previous emotions because I ran into Nathan today, and he informed me that he dropped out of school. Obviously, I am enjoying college life more.
I've been feeling sick all week, but I think I'm just getting really nervous/excited about everything that's going on. So basically I'm mentally ill but not in the traditional sense. I've done some thinking about my major (yet again!) and have come to the conclusion that film studies is interesting but it doesn't interest me. I would much rather be making a movie for the MAN than sitting around analyzing the placement of some prop that was probably accidentally placed in the shot. I am being a little too cynical I admit.
I hung out with Adiana today, and we went bowling at the crappy lanes in the basement of the student union. It was really fun, and nice to do something different and be carefree. She is continuing to refuse to sit with me in class even though I assure it's fine to do so.
I've also been taking CTran to and from school, so I'm feeling pretty environmentally savvy these days. I also love not being reliant on someone else to drive me about. That doesn't sound like a very big deal, but I missed out on the whole driver's license thing so this is my equivalent. Speaking about the environment, there is a girl in my environmental ethics class who daily blows her nose into a handkerchief. Question: What do people do all day with a snot filled handky? I just don't understand. |

Tomorrow is my sister's wedding. It's really cold here, so I'm worried about the outdoor ceremony. I wrote my post-wedding toast tonight. Jason, Bryan's brother, is also giving a toast. Apparently it is surprisingly good. I had been told there would be no competition in the toasting area, so I'm a little concerned now.

| I'm in Vegas. It doesn't feel like Christmas, and I wish I could make up my mind. |
[Dec. 24th, 2008|05:10 pm] |
I'm on vacation. I should not be feeling concerned about school related things. I just wish I had gone to real film school. I don't make films anymore. My next for sure project is Ady's wedding –– lame. I still do not have a clear idea on what I want to do. Yesterday I decided I wanted to be a circus performer. I kid you not. I also decided that being a cigarette girl at a casino would be pretty cool too. And four days ago I wanted to work in Colonial Williamsburg so I could dress up in costume and say things like "aye" and "good day" and "the red coats are coming". But more consistently my desire has been to go to a real, legit film school. If wish were fishes we'd all live in dishes.
Maybe for graduate school...
Or maybe I'll just be a circus performer. |

| Internet cafe |
[Jul. 7th, 2008|07:43 pm] |
I am in an internet cafe at the moment. I've never been in one before. It's not nearly as cool as I thought it would be. Anyways...
I am in Maui now. Yay! Mexico was fun, and my brief stop in Portland for about 12 hours was enjoyable too. I don't miss Vancouver or work or rain or my family. I would be fully content in leaving my life and starting anew this very moment! Alas, I cannot.
I did not secure a Mexican boyfriend while in Cabo which was quite unfortunating. Maybe in Maui... |

So my vaca is going well so far, but I just wanted to pop in and let everyone know that I am on a trip with people who classify Jane Austen books as "trashy romance novels". I did not appreciate the comment and I knew you all would not appreciate it either. |

[Jun. 26th, 2008|11:12 pm] |
I leave tomorrow for my trips. I am really excited but I'm also nervous and sad too. Tiffy is having to be boarded for over two weeks. Every time I look at her a feel guilty for leaving. And I am gone over the Fourth, and she gets really scared with all the fireworks. I will not be here to comfort her! Also, I am anxious to spend a week with my friends. That sounds odd, but being non-stop with 12 people is way different than just spending hours with them. OH! In Mexico I'm swimming with dolphins. Just thought I'd through that in there.
I found a list of thing to do over the next four years that I made the summer before freshman year. I am glad to say I accomplished everything on the list except going to a club, writing a book, and playing a sport. I am glad to say I am not remorseful about refraining from those activities either. I think I am going to make another list for college. But in the meantime, my summer ambition is to acquire a boyfriend. We'll see how that goes...
I don't think I am going to have internet access in Mexico but maybe in Maui. As for my cell phone, God only knows. |

I got last transaction loyalty power yesterday.
That was the highlight of my day...unfortunately. |

I hate to sound like a broken record, but why the hell can I not find a date to prom?! I have to find one by Saturday so my group can finalize plans and expenses. Genay is threatening not to go if she doesn't get acquire a date. I decided to go without a date but Genay did not want one of us to have a date while the other did not. I agree...kinda. Damn it. This is such a stupid thing to get me so upset!
High school is so lame.
When do I get to deal with real life problems (where is my next meal coming from, who's the father...)?
On the upside, my dress is killer. |

I bought my birthday cake tonight.
And I ate my birthday cake tonight. Mmm. |
