I'm a new university student, and I'm having a blast- aside from the homesickness-. I've meet a lot of really great people and am enjoying my new city and new room, but I miss home.
I miss being able to wake up in the morning and spend time with my kitty and puppy, stopping to say hi to my birdie on my way downstairs. These rituals have been exchanged for late night parties going on in the hall outside my door, and waiting in my common room for the shower.
My suitemates are all goodpeople and I met some really cool people in my program today.
I can't wait to get home and see everyone again. Being away from home has already been an experience and I'm excited that I am starting a new chapter in my life.

Randomosities
This is a note of my thoughts and randomosities. I update it infrequently, but it shows a little of my thought process.
Why do people validate themselves by where they sit or what part they play in band...guess what, if there are two people who refuse to play second and I play it on my own, when our parts are different I'm going to be heard becuse I'm a single instrument playing something different....
Supply Teachers are not going to believe you came to the "wrong class" after you write down the homework and were sitting there for five minuets
If you are in a drama class...you should know that you are going to do preformances...and be marked on them, so be ready
TBC
If you are dating someone and they wont go as far as you want to...don't cheat on them to get some, have the courtasy to break up with them, or deal with it, make a decision about what it more important.
Friends are less apt to help you with a problem when the only time you talk to them is when you have a problem...they feel underappriciated, so let your friends know they mean the world to you if they do...
I realised how much ducks sound like they are laughing when they quack, it's quite entertaining.
If you are going to have a midlife crisis, please warn your classes and cast of the play you are suppossed to be directing.
You don't know...but thats ok
TBC
This show is going to work out, it just threw us all for a loop because our set was done and the acting wasn't instead of the other way around.
Sometimes staying later then everyone gives you a chance to finish the set...while screaming Wicked at the top of your lungs.
TBC
Last Shakespeare opening night...it went amazingly. This is what made me realise that I am in grade twelve, I'm not coming back next year...
TBC
If you don't like kids, or teenagers, heres a thought....don't become a teacher, or principal...
because from what I hear you have to work with kids.
Ghosts are real, I don't care what anyone says
Not everything in life is going to turn out fair, but if you do the work, even if you don't get credit for it...you can be proud of yourself in knowing that you made it happen.
Grade nines and tens are asshats...talented asshats but asshats none the less.
After Christmas first semester is almost over...this happened quickly.
I need to stop perpetuating the lies someone told the grade nines and tens....but it's just so darned funny.

Plays are stressful, I should be used to this after 3 years...why does it still come as a surprise?
Sometimes hissy-fits get shit done.
There are only 11 days till christmas, I've done minimal shopping. I should really get on that pretty soon. Maybe this week, but probably not I'm going to be busy. I have auditions on Tuesday and Wednesday, and the party on Thursday and my party on Friday. Does anyone want to do my shopping for me?
Dec 20
When you ask for an early birthday present of a cast list...you get good news, but a snowstorm that renders your birthday almost obsolete. Mother nature thinks that this is only fair, you were born in the winter...deal with the consequences
Sometimes trying to do the right thing just makes things more difficult, swallowing your pride isn't always the right thing to do.
Dec 27
So a generation gap is considered 5 years, where do the generations start though. Am I in a generation with people 5 years older then me, younger then me, am I in the middle...how do you find out what generation you are in, or are you in both 5 years above and below you?
Jan 9
You can't always get what you want, but it would be nice if people would let you know what to expect. People need to learn to be honest with other people, such as their friends, hiding your feelings and ignoring people only results in uneasy feelings. In this case Honesty is the best policy.
Teachers seem to like to wait untill January to pile on everything possible, projects,tests, review,exams, you name it they assign it.
Jan 28
Exams suck, no matter how prepared you feel, you almost always find a question that makes you question your own intelligence, but with them comes either a new semester or summer, you have to take the good with the bad.
Drama workshops are NOT a place to bring your classs and then vanish for a while, although there are people there to quide you around and teach your kids, we are not glorified babysitters please keep this in mind when you sign up for workshops.

Best friends are a treasure, becuase no matter if it's been 5 mins or 5 weeks since you last saw them, you can always lose track of time while drinking coffee with them. They aren't like other friends that just drift away after that long, they stick by you as long as you stick by them.
Sometimes the things you regret the most turn out to be the best decision you ever made.
Feb 2
Facebook WILL be the demise of this generation. It starts D-R-A-M-A that otherwise would never have happened. It also has no alligences, noone is safe from the facebook demise.
In these economic times, my only job is looking for a job, this sucks.

Sesame Street was one of my favorite shows growing up, I heard a killer piano cover of the theme song, this inspired me to do it for a vocals solo, Ali and I are rewriting it to fit my voice. She is a lovely lady for doing this for me. I hope it goes well
All I ever learned from love, was how to shoot at someone who out drew you
Feb 8
Apparantly I need to see a pshyciatrist because I am a pathological liar...
parents I tell ya, they are great for your self esteem
Feb 10
Chicks is bitches
If you have a problem come talk to me about it instead of bitching about it behind my back. I promise you I will find out and then I wont be very nice about it.
Feb 11
Boys confuse me, a lot. I don't understand them and any boy who would like to fill me in, please let me know
March 18
Alcohol makes people do stupid things, no I'm not just coming to this realization, it's just recently been reinforced. When you are drunk is not the time to meet new people, you may scare them, they may be shy, this could cause misunderstandings, lets just leave introductions to when you are sober, ok?
When your life is crumbleing, and the person responsible usualy helps pick up the pieces, who is going to take their place?
Green Pizza...my new favortie food, yup I think so.
April 29
90% in festival is a pretty damn good mark, I'm pleased.
I've tried to be there for you completly, I've tried forcing you to hold your self up. I can't be a friend for you if you aren't going to let me.
Whatever shall be shall be, the future's not ours to see
University- the scariest/most exhilirating prospect of my life in the next 12 months.

I can't make this go away, I need you to leave, I want you to stay. Sometimes the people you love the most in your life, the ones you aren't allowed to are the ones you push out, and the worst, maybe the best part of all of this, is that these are the people who are going to be there with hugs, kleenex, and chocolate when you need them to be.
Ice cream scooping: A seemingly easy job with a heafty toll on your upper arms and shoulders:)

My Family is welcoming a new member tomorrow. My oldest brother is getting married on the beach in BC, I'm very excited for the both of them.
TALK to the one you love on a regular basis, tell them you love them, and ask them how their day was, the little things make a big difference.
August 9
Country morning classics are the very definition of family time in my house. I hadn't realized how much I missed it, we haven't had breaky listening to them in a while, it was nice to do it this morning, I'm listening to them as I type this.

Post Highschool Blues
As school starts for all my friends and my little brothers, I can't help but feel a longing for the days of highschool past. I am excited to move onto the next part of my life, move to a new city, meet new people, but I also miss my highschool days.
Being so involved in several school activities I spent a lot of my time at my highschool. I spent more time there then I did at home for the most part. Hearing stories already of things happening within these school activities- jokes and antics-, and chats with old teachers that I came to rely on in the past four years has me feeling a little blue.
I am sure that once I get to school and am distracted with all of the new people and things going on I will feel a little less homesick for the school I love so dearly.
