Dead please

I don't do live animals, sorry. If I'm going to eat meat it has to come to dead. Mom got a lobster and I love lobster. But only if they're dead. This whole comes-home-from-the-grocery-store-alive thing really freaks me out. I left the room, couldn't watch. But I will enjoy it once it's on my plate.
Oh and I have been officially screwed over in the afore mentioned apartment situation. I thought things couldn't get much worse but they did. And I'm angry again. And this time, I'm not gonna give myself time to calm down before responding to emails. That obviously didn't get me anywhere and even though getting angry won't get me anywhere either it's much more satisfying.

Newsflash

I hate newsletters. Since I have journalism experience, I was given the job of doing up work's summer newsletter. It needed some major revamping as they've been using the exact same unappealing style for the past several years. Unfortunately I'm just not happy with anything I come up with. It either looks too squishy or there's too much white: there does not seem to be an in between. I was told I am being much too critical of my work but I figure if I am super critical it leaves less for my boss to criticize.
In other news... my laptop is officially dead. Of course it would not be the hot chocolate, pepsi or many droppings that would kill it but some sort of motherboard "glitch". How lovely.
Okay, off to finish up my to do list so maybe I can get out of here on time to enjoy the sun!

I cannot see clearly now...

So I might not need to learn braile just yet. I spent yesterday seeing eye doctors in an attempt to figure out what's wrong. They have decided to increase my bifocal again. But only by a bit cause we've gotta save something for when I'm 80. But I'm also being sent to another doctor in another city in another province. He's considering surgery. Apparently it's possible that my eyes are just working too hard to stay straight that it's straining them causing the vision problems. It'll never fix them completely and I'll still be in glasses but I might get out of my bifocals and at least be able to see again! So my one free month of the summer has just got really busy with trips to three different provinces but it should still be fun (other than the surgery part).
In less exciting news... my laptop may be dead. I haven't been able to get it to turn on for a few days now (yes, it's plugged in and no the battery is not dead) so I left it at a repair shop to see what's wrong. Hopefully it's fixable and the cheap kind of fixable.

Done!

So the LSAT's are finished. I am very glad. Now I just have one paper, two exams and one week of classes keeping me away from summer vacation!
I finished the Kite Runner today, yes in less than a week. When I like a good I read it fast. I loved it. I haven't cried while reading a book in a very long time if ever but this one did for me. It was a really good read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was heartfelt and touching. It was also really nice to read a book about another culture. I recommend it if you are looking for touching real story.
Not sure what I"m onto next but I'll let ya know. First I must write about the injustices of domestic violence though.

Yay Music!

I am usually unable to tell someone who my favorite band is: I always like so many of different ones. But I think I've decided on my favorite: 3 Doors Down. From the minute I heard Kryptonite, a few years back I've been a fan. Seventeen Days was an awesome album. I can sing every song by heart and their new self-titled album is also just a good. I don't own alot of CD's but I have all of theirs but I know I'll listen to them over and over again and never get bored with 'em.
Now if they'd only come here so I could see them in concert!

Weekend goings on

This weekend has been nothing short of interesting.
- Saturday, I babysat 7 children: four of them 9 year old boys (no multiples for me please) and a six month old who cried alot.
- My grandfather is in the hospital dying.
- My brother was in a motorcycle accident.
- I got a sunburn though it's not too bad.
- I have a crush on a man at church.
- I wrote an LSAT prep test and scored amazingly: apparently once you don't care about doing well you can do well! Perhaps tomorrow will also go well and if I doesn't, then oh well.
- Now its time to go pretend my father loves me and that we're close enough to spend time together on Father's Day.

Don't mess with me today

So all my excitment for a beautiful apartment was a little too early as sometime friends aren't the nicest people ever. It's not something I'm going to talk about as I'm finding it quite upsetting (maybe a little more than I should be) But I'll get over it and find myself a cozy little place for Jack and I.
In better news... I only have another week and a half of classes left.
Tomorrow I am in a suicide prevention workshop which should be interesting, but I come out of it with a certificate so that's nice.
I started reading "The Kite Runner" today.
Oh and I got a sunburn yesterday, which should add some color to my skin, even if it is just pink color.
Anywhooo my de-stressing workout calls. Lata.
