I haven't really felt like posting lately. I'm in a weird state right now. I'm kind of in denial that school starts again next week. Mostly it's because I'm completely terrified of this whole student teaching thing. I don't know what I was thinking, becoming a chemistry teacher, I don't know anything about chemistry.

The way I see it, there are two outcomes to this situation. It's either going to be a complete and utter disaster, or it will be completely awesome. No gray area here. It's good or bad; I'm good or bad. I guess time will tell.

I went for lunch with Gina today, it was delicious. We went to Milestones and enjoyed their Thai Tacos, so good. We started a walking group so my feet are hurting like crazy. Blisters are not fun. But really I guess I'm "training" for this stupid new job that I'm going to be doing. I don't really want to do it, but I need a shift, and this is pretty much the only one available. I have to walk around for 11 hours and enter liscence plates into a little machiene. Good times. Should be extremely fun.

Work tomorrow. Get up at 4:45am. 36 hours of work left until I am done. 4 months past by incredibly fast. Lots of regrets about this summer.

Oh well.

It is 1:13am, I am on call for going to work in the morning. What I mean is, they might call me at 5:30am and ask me to come to work.

The lady who usually works that shift had eye surgery and apparently can't see anything right now.

It's that time again...

Time for another amazing movie review by me yours truely.
Tonight I saw, Little Miss Sunshine, starring Greg Kinnear, Steve Carell and Toni Collette. Ummm how about awesome!

This movie was great. It was touching, charming, cute, and extremely extremely funny. I highly recommend it. I was sad when it ended, it's one of those movies you want to keep going when it ends. Some movies you're like 'when is this going to end?' But not this one my friends, oh no, not this one.

Le Sigh

So I've just finished watching "She's the Man". Oh yes, I did in fact rent this movie. It's not my fault really. I highly enjoy watching horrifyingly bad teenie movies. I can't help it. I like them. Their badness is a delight to watch.

Anyway, it was as bad as I thought it would be. Except it was kind of delightful at the same time. There were some laughs, and although she totally looked like a chick, it was still alright.

I also watched RV, because my Dad insisted that I watch it with him, as he was somehow excited for this event. Yeah. A couple laughs, but I left during a portion of it because, well, there was singing. So, I didn't witness that portion. But it was also alright I suppose.

It's late. My eyes hurt.

Car Update:

Someone bought the car off the kidney foundation and drove it down to Calgary, where they abandoned it and it was impounded. Since the person who bought it didn't register it, they sent me the letter, the last registered owner.

The kidney foundation has a bill of sale which they are sending to Calgary officials, and I owe no money at all. Woot!

I recieved an interesting letter in the mail today...

Back when I got my Civic, I had o deal with getting rid of my other car. I felt guilty selling it to someone when I knew it was just a piece of junk, so I donated it to the Kidney Foundation, because they get more money for it than I ever could.

So the Kidney Foundation towed the car away and everything was fine. Then today I recieved a letter from the Calgary impound lot stating that my car had been impounded a few weeks ago and I owe them over $200 in lot fees and that they are going to destroy my car unless I call them and ask them not to.

Interesting.

Maybe it's just me, but the past four months have just flown by.
I feel like I haven't had any kind of vacation from school and it's starting up again in 2 weeks. I'm stressed just thinking about this student teaching. I'm nervous about it. I don't even really know anything about chemistry, so teaching it should be a good time.

I have to get up in 5 hours. I'm not sleepy at all. I'm completely wide awake. Like some kind of anticipation rush for no reason. Adrenaline is a burden sometimes.

It pisses me off that I can't get Coldplay's X & Y onto my iPod. Seriously, dumb. Oh, I finally got the soundtrack to Lost and have been playing it nonstop because it is a wicked good score. And I can picture what's happening on the show in my mind as the music plays. Parts of it is extremely beautiful and other parts make your heart race because you can feel the fear the music is expressing.

Ok shower now, bed in a bit. Work.. imminent.

So I'm back up on 25 peeps. Check me out.

Today I tried power animal meditation and my animal was a red panda. I can't really say I'm surprised as they are just so amazingly cute and very graceful.

It was kind of odd, but relaxing and very interesting. It's like a little friend inside your head, except not in the you're totally crazy way.

So summer is almost at an end, and it has finally happened, my arch nemesis at work has been transfered! aha! Finally, the miracle I have been waiting for. Plus, I finally got a new chair at work, one that doesn't have a back that falls off when you touch it with your pinkie finger. Brilliant!

So I can finally post about the zoo because Flickr has not been uploading my photos for the past couple of days just to make me mad I'm sure. Actually, it's been a real pain in the bum and it made me super mad. But that is a whole other story.

So I finally made it to Calgary without getting sick (note: I've been sick every single time we've gone to Calgary in the past).


The zoo was fun. Although the dinosaur part was pretty lame. They didn't even look remotely real. But is it fair to expect dinosaurs to look real?
How the fuck do we know what they are supposed to look like, I mean, bone structure is one thing, but bones don't say anything about colour do they?

Gina left us at a mall for a while, so I bought some shoes, and then she looked surprised when she saw that i had purchased some shoes, clearly she knows nothing about me. I don't know where I will wear then, they're strappy heels, but cute let me tell you. So I couldn't resist. It's unfair really, the shoe companies make shoes that i must purchase, not my fault at all.

My phone is here! woot. It arrived yesterday. It's fun, except I can't figure out how to get music on it, but I think I"ll eventually figure it out except I seem to have lost the manuel and now only have the french edition. Should be interesting.

Yesterday at work my boss yelled at me and I started crying while I was putting through customers. They seemed stressed by the yelling and the crying and so they gave me a couple tips. Which was nice of them.

I"m going to the zoo tomorrow.
