Well, the weekend is gone and it's back to another stereotypical week at the most stereotypical place on earth. Had a good weekend, even though about 66% of it was spent working. We had two frisbee games in which we owned both teams. I truley believe winning is a lot more fun than not winning. Otherwise I hit the gym again which is causing a hell of a burn in my arms today.
Today was long, and unnessecary. Class, library, class, library, class, ice cream and now home again. Gotta get another chapter read before I go to bed. Or else I have to go to bed now and get up at 7am (not happening).
Excited for tommorow though. After spending the day in the library, the shit will hit the fan. It's halowe'en. Pre-drink starts here at 9, and then the limo is picking us up at 9:45. We're hitting the bar hard, and in style and I am rather excited. Can't drink too much though because well, I have to study more on Wednesday, but it will be fun regardless.

This is how I disapear
It's 2:30am. Yay. The plus side is I'm not screwed for my exam. That excites me. I worked 5-12:40 tonight, which is 25 minutes longer than I would have liked to. Luckily I got a ride home. I read during my break, how nerdy is that? I've only got 20 pages left to study up on then lecture notes. After that I'm hitting the motha fuckin' hay.
Tommorow should be exciting. I write my exam at 10:00am. After that I plan to have a nap, and I think me and Todd are going to go out for a beer tommorow night. It's the first Friday I have had off in a long, long time.
What might you ask, happened to that no drinking binge I was on. I'm still "not drinking", just added the words "as much" to the end. I drank when I went home for the weekend, I am going to drink tommorow a bit, and I will drink at some point in the future. I proved I could cut it out of my life for a long time as I did, and I'm no longer drinking anything near as much as I used to. At times I have thought I needed AA in the past.
Otherwise I just plan on spending the weekend prepping for my next exam on Thursday.

I'd Kill to Fall Asleep
This is my life goal at the moment. I just want a nights sleep, that I dont have to wake up in the morning. Wrapped in a blanket, and nothing to worry about. Unfortuantly that won't be til December 20th. I'm just beyond stressed. I know, thats the typical thing all my roomates and friends are crying about, how stressed they are. The only thing I don't undersatnd is as far as I am concerned, they have all the time in the world. They don't volunteer, work, or play sports. They have plenty of time to do the work. I need to quit one of my jobs because I just don't have enough time to do everything I need to do. I'm falling behind. Fuck. Tonight I even have to work at 7 1/2 hour shift with my exam being tommorow morning. Ugh!!!

Bleed and Blister (v.3)
So I'm at the library this morning, and I came to one simple conclusion. I am the "Stereotypical Western Boy". DAMN IT. I had tried so hard to avoid it. What lead me to this conclusion is as follows. It starts with a couple of dirty looks I've gotten in the past few days. It's followed up, because....
I'm sitting in the library wearing my Kangol, Abercrombie and American Eagle clothing. Listening to my iPod. Drinking from my ice cold Nalgene bottle. Looking at my cell phone for the time. Periodically digging through my nike gym bag past my designer gym clothes, flyers for parties, class notes and other things I don't need.
I just fit the look. Damn you school. You changed me.

Middle of nowhere
I was asked the other day what the deal was with my post titles. They are simply all song titles. All from bands I love, and are songs that I love. Check them out, they are all great.
When you were young
Ok, first off. Two things you need to do. First. Go see the new movie, The Prestige. It was amazing. Second. Buy, download, search, view on myspace, whatever, the album Alright Still by Lily Allen. Shes 21, and from the UK, and I normally hate poppy music, and chick singers, but its damn catchy.
Today has been wonderful. Studied a fair bit, hit up the mall (bought cinnabon's) and saw The Prestige. Tommorow is going to be a killer long day, but I'm prepping for it with a lot of sleep. 10:30-5:30 solid class, followed by 5:30-9:30 Foot Patrol. I'm hoping to hit the library for an hour or two around 8:30, and then plan on doing the same from 9:30 til I feel prepared. All I want to have to do on Thursday is review, not study new stuff. Should be fun.
I've decided on my Halowe'en costume I think. For $20 I found the sickest "Kissing booth" costume. It's so cheesy, and just like me. So I think that I will wear it out to the bar possibly Friday night, for sure next Tuesday, and then on H20.
The other big conclusion I have had latley is that I need to quit work. My marks have improved this year, but I know I could still do much better. I just have been losing out on 20-25 hours from Friday-Sunday that could be better used on school work. I'm just feeling super stressed from having to always be catching up on these fucking book chapters. I have so many to be caught up for my next rounds of exams, and by the time that is over with, I will have tons to get caught up on for finals. Ugh. I will be done working there at the start of December because I won't have the time to do it after that.

Down, Set, Go
Well I made it back to London after the long weekend at home. Had a great time. Went shopping in Toronto with Dad and Sis on Sunday and picked up some nice hoodies. Made me quite happy. I did get some dirty, dirty looks getting on the bus home with 5 giant bags from abercrombie, hollister and AE. Oh well.
Now that I'm back in London I am having trouble getting motivated again. Exam is Friday, and I should be able to ace it. I just don't want to study the subject. The lecture is amazing, the text is dry. I will continue to push though. The next couple weeks are plagued with exams, which is going to probably put a huge toll on me, but I think I'll make it out alive.
Finally gotten somewhere with my goal of recording a lame 5 song EP that has been on my goal wall for a couple years now. I have the basis for 3 songs, sans lyrics done. Yay for me.
Otherwise nothing much is new. I got another dirty look from the guy on the bus that gave me a dirty look last week. We determined I killed his kid or something like that.

Sexy Back
So day number two in Barrie is now complete. It was a hell of a long one, and it ended great. Started the day off sleeping til noon, then going to visit my mom. Two turkey sandwhichs and 3 hours later I take off. I then stopped by Jamie's house because I hadn't seen her or her parents pretty much in about a year. We followed that up with a family dinner, and then things got interesting.
Went to the bar for Jono's 21st birthday. We stated at Philthy McNasty's where Brad ate the Showdown burger in 5 minutes, 32 seconds. It was disgusting. Absolutly disgusting. We had countless rounds and car bombs there before heading out.
We ended up at The Roxx. The sketchiest bar. We were trying to say hi to Tim's cousin whose birthday it was, but ended up staying the night. I have never made fun of so many wig ass losers, and fat chicks.
After we finally left, me and Jono stood outside the Foundation to hear Choclair, and watch about 15 black guys start a huge brawl. Was probably the funniest thing I have ever witnessed. Now I am home, drunk, and going to bed. I return to London tommorow afternoon after shopping in Toronto with my Dad and Sister. Yay.

Tubthumping
Ok. So today has involved.... 7 hours on a bus. 1 Ginger. 14 hours drinking. 8 different bars. 40+ ounces of Canadian Club. 1 35 year old married woman. And well, I can't think of any more numbers.
I took a bus at 3:45am to get to Toronto for 6. There I met up with Ginger and hung out with her til my bus at 8am took me to Barrie. There me and my dad started our long, long, long, day. We started a Scotty's for breakfast. Worked our way to 5 hours of CC & cokes at the Keg. We then hit up 7 more bars in a drunken, bonanza. Was absolutly crazy. I'm to drunk to actually finish this though. I loved it.

Leaving on a Jet Plan
Ok, well actually, it's a Grey Hound bus, but I'm leaving in an hour. Yay! I'm having trouble packing since I am both drunk, and waiting for pizza, but I figure I will have it done JUST in time to call a cab and run down town. I hope I didn't lose my ticket ether.
So excited for breakfast with Ginger. I doubt she will wake up though. which is sad. Until next time.

Homecoming
Well, in less than 10 hours I will be catching a bus to go back to Barrie for my first time since August. I'm rather excited although it is going to be ridiculously busy. I catch the bus at 3:45am, get to Toronto at 6am. There I am meeting Ginger for McD's breakfast. At 8am I jump a bus to Barrie to get ther for 9:30. Dad will drive me home an I will rest. THat night I'm hitting up a bar with him to drink, eat and be merry.
Saturday I am getting my lobes pierced finally with Jamie (she's doing her belly button). Then I will see my mom, her mom/dad, and not sure what next. That night is Jono's 21st, so we will be partying up huge to celebrate. Sunday I will spend with my dad and sister again, before catching a bus back to London. Should be super busy.
Lots of photos to come.

Drunks, Lovers, Sinners and Saints
I've passed out the last few nights at about 10pm. It's been terrible. I can't stay awake and am just going out cold. It's been a slow day so far. Had a class two classes, and lunch with Katie. That was probably the highlight. In my second class we got a guest lecture on data finding by a 500lb beared guy who kept smiling and staring at me. It was terrifying. It also seemed that everyone else in the class noticed it, as I was questioned by several people afterwards what was going on.
It's weird how this week has been going. Most of it I have spent ether sleeping, or sick as a dog. Its nice to finally be feeling a little bit better. I have one class tommorow morning, then am probably going to catch the 3:45am bus home to Barrie. If I miss that I may hit up the 8:00am one, but I think it would hit a lot of traffic. Gonna be a sweet 3 days home. Going out with my Dad friday night, getting some piercings on Saturday morning, Jono's B-Day Saturday night, and who knows what I will do on Sunday.
I'm just excited to have a break for a few days and not have to deal with anything down here in London.

Miss Murder
Where have I been the last several days? I'd like to say in a drug enduced coma, but that is only half true. I have been sick, and working like a bitch. Friday I worked 3-11, then slept. Saturday 5-12:30, and thats when the fun happened. I had been feeling like crap for a few days and it just peaked Saturday night. I was up most of the night coughing. By the time the wee hours of the morning rolled around, I was coughing so hard that I was in turn, vomitting. I had to go to work for 9:30 and on the way vommited in the middle of the side walk.
When I got to work I was disoriented and not sure what was going on, and thats how my shift went. Until 2pm when I left to go to the hospital. I was there for a few hours before the diagnosis. Bronchitis, Whooping Cough, possiblity of the 100 day cough, and something that started with P that I had never heard of. They prescribed 4 different drugs (2 puffers, 1 pill, 1 liquid) and I went about my way. Picked them up and went home. Took what I was instructed to, and passed out by 8:30pm. I woke up at 2am, took the next dose I was supposed to, and crashed again.
This morning on the other hand, I woke up around 8am. I stepped out of bed and promptly fell over. I didn't know where I was or what was going on. I felt like I was going to vomit. I stumbled downstairs and sat drinking water for an hour and a half. I then made my way to school, feeling like shit, and not really sure if I was awake or not. The next few hours are a blur and I don't remember much other than my teacher questioning if I was alright, and saying I can have my exam moved if I continue to be like that.
Well, needless to say, I still feel like shit. I don't feel as bad as I did this morning, but I am yet to take the powerful medication meant to knock me out and cure me in my sleep. We will see how that goes over tonight. I hope it knocks me out. I lost the weekend to being sick and working, and lost most of today being disoriented, so I am not prepared at all to write the exam. It will cause me a ridiculous amount of stress tommorow if I have to deal with it. I'm sure she will be understanding.

Brother Bleed Brother
Another day, another day, another day. After the all night red-bull related bender, I have never been so KO'd in my life. I was able to do practically nothing all Wednesday. I slept for a combined 7 hours on campus. Under stairs, in lounges, wherever I could. I felt like shit all day long. It was terrible.
I did finish my last OMIT and am now officially an OM at Foot Patrol which is awesome. Also got the news that I may be able to go home next weekend to visit friends and family. So excited. I just have to wait til noon tommorow to find out if my boss will give me the time off. He better. Or else I will just go home the weekend after that I guess. Should be fun. I may finally get the piercings I've been wanting to get for quite a while now. Also going to head out with everyone I havn't seen in a while.
Spent today doing, well, I'm not sure what. I had class til 10:30am, then sat waiting to give a tour to people who never showed up til 11am, and have been home since. I've watched the 4th season of The Ultimate Fighter, UFC 63, Over the Hedge, but really done very little. I'm trying to get over the cold, and it seemed to help because I'm starting to feel much better.
This weekend is going to be long. Working 8 hours each day. Not sure how I got suckered into that. But 3 8 hour shifts is going to blow super-ass. Two frisbee games also which is the best news of all.
Oh well, I will live.

.......................
I'm currently writing an essay on why the main market for Red Bull is university students because they are often up late writing essays and studying, while drinking mass quantities of red bull, to stay up late. What an appropriate subject. I've determined that they should sponsor me, or I should do promotions for them, because really, I live by Red Bull, especially around exam times. It gives me an extra bit of focus.
We kicked ass at Water Polo tonight. The final score must have been around 30-0. I scored a couple of fun goals. It's key I think to mention that only 5 players for the other team showed and we got to run things because of their lack of players. Still, winning is fun.
Otherwise my day has been spent researching and writing this damn essay. All day, thats mainly what I have been doing. I'm just about half way through the 5th page, of 5, and already have a solid 29 refrences :| God I love the electronic copies of journals which are searchable.
I'm also getting very excited about my next tattoo. I keep thinking about it, and envisioning it, which puts me at about 6 months of wanting this specific design, and a year and a bit of wanting my second one. I just need to book the December appointment now. I think I have one or two others that want to join in too and get theirs done.
Also very excited since my Dad is coming to visit (hopefully) in a week and a half. Sounds like we might head to Niagara to hit the casino and hang out, which is nice, because I havn't seen him in well over a month and a half now. Oh well, back to the essay I go.

Dance, Dance
Another 9 hour shift was tourture to me today. I got through it alive though which was nice. Got home and thought my neighbor Rob was being robbed. Turns out he was just back early to write an essay. We ended up hiting up all the local bars in hopes of seeing people we knew. After 5 bars I didn't even recognize a single person. So sad.
Tommorow should be a great day. Alarm is set for 9 or 10am, and just going to plop down and write my essay on Red Bull. So excited. I've got a couple of movies to watch, a ton of food for my huge lunch plan, and then going to just chillax hard-core at night when the roomies/neighbors get back. I'm somewhat extremelty excited for them getting back!
My week is almost 100% booked up. It's terrifying.
Otherwise not much is new. Working on kicking the energy drink habit, and planning to hit the gym 5 times a week minimum. This week I have two frisbee games, a water polo game, some baminton and two tours. I went and bought a lot of good foods, so hopefully combining the physical activities and eating well will pay off. I have some lofty goals to have by Christmas. I'm also looking to book my piercing appointment for next weekend since this weekend failed. Woo.

Konstantine
What a long day today happened to be. Woke up around 11am, did 5 loads of laundry, dishes, cooked, cleaned my room and then worked a 7 hour shift. Now it's 4:30 in the morning and I'm not even slightly tired. Yay for screwing up the sleep cycle. I work in 7 1/2 hours, and likley won't wake up til about 11 am. It will be fantastic. 9 hours at work then I move myself to the couch.
I want to right my essay tommorow, pretty much my only plan. My aunt Janet is being nice enough to bring me some Turkey dinner on Monday too which is amazing. I'm stolked for that. Overally it's just going to be a peaceful Sunday/Monday of writing, sitting and chilling.
Once again my week is almost completley booked. Every day has several events taking place ranging from work, tours, sports etc. I'm excited though. I think I am finally going to be able to start living completly on campus. I should invest in a locker finally.

I want to go back
I'm so stressed, and I don't even know why. I just feel like I am about to break down though. I don't know if its work, school or what but its driving me nuts today.
I've been doing laundry, and dishes, and cleaning my room today and it all just started me thinking. I found my bills that I have to pay off and I think I need to work more, I just don't have time. I'm trying to decide where I can limit my spending, and first and foremost is learning how to make my own energy drink, or just get off the caffine. I've been caffine free for 4 days now!
I thought this weekend would be relaxing and a chance to write my essay, sit on my ass, and just enjoy the quiet, but its already getting to me. I have about 3 loads of laundry left, and I have to go to work in 4 hours.
It's funny, in 5 years I'll probably re-read this and just laugh at how ridiculous it all is, but right now it sucks. I think I've found a few ways to save some money, besides giving up caffine, so hopefully it all works out. Augh!

I'm trying to decide where I can limit my spending, and first and foremost is learning how to make my own energy drink, or just get off the caffine. I've been caffine free for 4 days now!
I thought this weekend would be relaxing and a chance to write my essay, sit on my ass, and just enjoy the quiet, but its already getting to me. I have about 3 loads of laundry left, and I have to go to work in 4 hours.

Where did I go?
That was the longest 48 hours ever. I finished the "all-nighter" and went and wrote the exam. It went well I think. Managed to get in 2 games of mixed-doubles badminton (won one, lost one) and then tried to hit the gym. I started on the elyptical and died after 10 minutes. It was quite sad. Figured out why though. Went back to the house and got a solid 7 hour nap. Went to the bar for the first time in a while that night. Hadn't had a beer in 18 days, but it turns out that after that long off, 2 beers got me drunk. We hit the Frog, and that was the fun, I don't remember the end of the night.
I woke up this morning just in time to rush to work, where I logged a solid 8 1/2 hours. Bought some groceries and then hung out with Kel. It's been a great time.
I'm spending this weekend alone since the roomies are all home for Thanksgiving. I'm hoping my dad and sister can make it up to visit on Monday because that would be awesome. I havn't seen them in a while now. If they don't, I will be busting out the chicken and having thanksgiving by myself.
Thats about it. I have a lot more work to do this weekend.

First All-Nighter of the Year
Well, here I am. The thing I swore not to do this year, and I'm doing it. Yes folks, this is the first all nighter of the year. How exciting is that!! I'm sitting here eating a block of cheese in hope that it is brain food, and keeping myself paced on my red bull fixation.
It all started because, simply, I studied the wrong fucking subject. It was easy to mix it up, both Soc classes, both at the same time two days a week, rotating, both with the same teacher, one class numbered 266, one 267. Well, I'm ready for my exam on Thursday let's just say. This has left me with one option, which is unfortuantly pulling the fabled all nighter.
My room is working out well so far, I have a lot of good light and can't see outside to get the feeling of how late it is. I am trying to keep my moniter off so I don't see a clock, and just going to study til I drop. I'm thinking of trying a new trick though tommorow. Going for a run an hour before the exam so that I get my body awake and going as opposed to being still lethargic from a night of cheese, red bull and reading.
Let's see how it goes. Tommorow may be a long day, but it just makes me look more forward to Thursday. I'm now determined to get a cake made Thursday afternoon, and then I have the weekend to rest (minus work and my essay).

Sick Sad Little World
It's 2pm, and I have absolutly no desire to study. I know I have to though and am pushing forward. I love this subject, its just such a nice day, and the sun is beating through my window which in turn makes me want to frolic or something. I have an exam tommorow morning on "Youth in Conflict with the Law", and I'm hoping it goes well.
I get to do a sample room tour today with tour guides which should be a real wonderful time. Really I think it may be a waste of 45 minutes. At least tonight is the first game of water polo this season. Havn't played since last March, so it should be interesting. Hopefully we can take anothe victory.
I finally am almost done OMIT'ing for Foot Patrol too which is sweet. I will finally get to actually do the job instead of being under intense observation and training.. hahahah. I hope I get a good OA. That would make it fantastic.
I'm still looking into the piercings on the weekend, and am also now working Fri through Sunday. I am also thinking about getting a pet fish or two... or a lava lamp.

Another one bites the dust
My first exam is over. It was an interesting experience getting back into the grove of writing them. I think it went well though so I'm not crying about it. Now I'm just trying to work towards the next one on Wednesday. A lot of studying needs to be done tommorow, but tonight has been a wonderful relaxing time featuring the third season of 'One Tree Hill".
This weekend is no longer going to be the fun I had planned. Instead of going to Barrie and seeing friends, I will be spending it alone, and working on Blockbuster. I'm going to make a chicken dinner in celebration of Thanksgiving on Sunday night, and thats about it. I will probably watch a lot of movies, and veg out on the couch for countless hours. Hopefully also finish my essay.
I hope to get my piercings this weekend too which would be amazing. I got paid by both jobs on Friday, so I have the opportunity to spend a little bit on me. I'm excited.

The Secrets in the Telling
Well, I am sitting in the library. I've been studying since 8am basically, and I think I am finally almost ready for my exam tonight. It shouldn't be tooooooo hard I hope, although we have no information about what it is actually about. We've only had 5 hours of lecture so far, so an exam is a little ridiculous.
We won our first frisbee game ever last night. Firckin' Hammered rules. We beat some yellow team 7-2. They were getting mad because we were calling rules that they didn't know, even though they were the basic rules of the game. Afterwards Todd bought us all DQ which was awesome.
I've been feeling like shit today, which is wonderful. I dont really want to do anything, but I've been studying like a mad man. Oh well, going to sit and watch some Prison Break tonight.

Pins and Needles
So I had a red bull at 11:30. Bad idea. Now I'm bouncing off the walls again, but at least getting studying done. I don't want to sleep, I'm afraid to. I think I'll sleep in for work for some reason and now have 3 different alarms set, including 2 on my cell phone. This class I am studying for is probably the most boring thing I have taken. 4 chapters. One the history of psychological tests, one on basic statsistics (ie: mean, median and mode), one on validity and a last one on reliability. I want to stab myself with a fork.
I've been thinking a lot about the things I want to accomplish this semester too. I need to keep going to the gym 4-5 days a week. I think my goal is to be comfortable enough to shave my beard off for christmas. I also have to book a few appointments at Lucky Devil. First and foremost is my 5th and 6th piercing. I am finally getting my lobes done. I've wanted to for so long, but I'm going to wait til then. It will let me donate blood one more time, and it won't interfere with the Water Polo season starting on Tuesday. Secondly, I'm getting my next tattoo one of my first days back at Christmas. I have it planned, and I am very excited. The final change is that I want to get around to dying my hair black. I've wanted to for a while to go with my longer faux-hawk style, and I think I'll do it at christmas.
Oh well, this was a nice little break but I need to continue freaking out. A couple more pages and I will go to bed finally.
