BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I'M NOT DEAD, I LIVE I LIVE!

Oh boy, this past month was so freaking packed with stuff I barely had time to do anything!

Most of it was spent studying for finals and getting ready for all my practical tests. But it's all done now!

My convocation was last Friday :D My mom and her boyfriend came down and we were able to scrounge some extra tickets from my aunt and uncle (my cousin graded on the same day, but she didn't go so they gave us their tickets) so everyone could come~

Ceremony itself was kinda boring and pretty long, but it was really good. I didn't fall over or anything, which was my big fear of the day :P

Everyone was pretty scattered after the ceremony so I didn't get the chance to get a whole class shot, but that's fine. I've got a pretty good one of most of us from the party we had the night before and I've got various ones from the last week or so of class.

So now I'm just chillaxing until I head up to Merrit next month for the music festival, then I have to start looking around for an actual job in a restaurant or bakery or whatever.

Finally got to see STAR TREK last night. And it was sweet! I got a kick out of all the little references to the old series that they threw in, like when Capt. Pike whistled at the beginning of the movie and it was the noise the intercom made on the show XD I know, I'm a dork!

Gotta take my car in next week for a tune up and get some new back tires before I go to Merrit next month. Yay for $400 worth of car stuff! I'm looking forward to getting that credit card bill~

...

Well, not really anything else to report... More next time I guess!

So tired... Only got like 3 hours of sleep last night... Not sure why, I went to bed tired and ready for sleep, but I didn't pass out until around midnight and I woke up at 3AM only to lie there, fully awake until my alarm went off at five...

Got 100% on my test today though, so that makes me feel better about being sleep deprived... :D

Went and saw X-MEN ORIGINS on opening night. I liked it a lot! I found the action scene really intense, and I loved to cast :P Hugh Jackman + Ryan Reynolds + Taylor Kitsch = <3 AND Dominic Monaghan! XD

Didn't get to go see STAR TREK yet though, which makes me a little sad, since I'm secretly a Trekkie, but I'm hoping to go soon...

School's been going really well lately. I can't believe I'm done in a month! I'm gonna miss it, but it's exciting at the same time too. I'm hoping to start applying at some restaurants pretty soon and see where I end up.

And, though it isn't totally set in stone yet, I was asked to go up to and cater at a music festival coming up in July! My teacher and a friend of his go up every year and they asked a few of us from class to go up with them this year! We're still waiting to see exactly how many of us they're going to need, but just having been asked if I was interest was a huge thing for me cause it means I'm actually good at this! It's a really big festival too! Mostly country music stars, but still, we're talking like really really famous ones! Like Kenny Chesney, Emerson Drive, Doc Walker (not sure exactly who these people are, but I'm told that they're kind of a big deal)

I felt something more springy was in order (even though it's all rainy and blah here right now...) Now for a new user-info...

After nearly 21 years of not having them done, I finally got my ears pierced last Tuesday! The other girls in my class were all going to get piercings and they convinced me to get my ears done. It didn't hurt like I was kinda scared it would. And I like having them pierced! I have to keep my little studdies in for another 5 weeks, then I can switch them out for different studs of non-dangley types. No big dangley things for about 6 months, but I've already got my eyes on a bunch of nifty little styles :D

I need to finish up some final touches on my last big project, then I'm due for some exercise (I've been a little lazy and haven't done any yet today...)

AND OMG MY FRIEND KATHLEEN WANTS ME TO MAKE HER WEDDING CAKE NEXT YEAR!!!! XD I'M SO EXCITED!!!

So last weekend was totally awesome!

Mom and Mike came for my cousin's wedding thing and they brought me my best friend! :D Tiegan came with them and surprised me for the weekend. Best easter gift EVER! So he got to see the insanity that is Mom's side of the family. It was hilarious watching him try to remember who was who and how they were all related.

I got to meet Mike's girlfriend too! She's so adorable :3 Really sweet girl and very down to earth and sincere, which makes me like her even more~ And she's tiny, which make her and my brother a funny couple, him being so tall and what not, lol

The reception thing was really fun. There wasn't a dinner or anything, but lots of drinks and dancing, so yay~ And according to some of my cousins, I looked "gorgeous" so that was nice to hear :P I'll throw up some pictures sometime later tonight or tomorrow.

I've become totally obsessed with BEJEWELED BLITZ on Facebook! I've been playing it almost non-stop since Monday :P

I started playing POKEMON PEARL again the other night too. It was in an attempt to distract me from my hangover from Saturday night. Didn't work as well as I was hoping, but it rekindled my love for the game :D

I'm having way too much fun playing around with random POKEMON and TRANSFORMERS images in Photoshop right now, so I'm ending my entry here for now so I can play with the pretty colours~

OMG it's so nice outside! I'm so happy I have today off. I think I'll go for a walk around the lake or soemthing~

My test on Wednesday went really well. 96%~ Not top mark, but close second :D

Being on the baking station this week was awesome! I made brownies, nanimo bars, cookies, a cake and two tiramisu~ Only downside was gaining a little weight do to constant tasting of batters and doughs :P Totally worth it though...

I went to the donair place here in town last night with Sarah. I've been meaning to go since it opened, but I just never got the chance to. It was so good! I love donairs in general, but this one was one of the best I've ever had. They even made the pita fresh! And the lamb was so tasty~ I'm getting hungry just thinking about it...

The bowling last Saturday went really well. I managed to scrounge up about $80 worth of donations, and the whole even raised over $50,000. And it was so much fun! We were all pretty bad by comparison to the other teams, but we had a riot. And I totally fell flat on my ass... bowling shoes are way too slippery...

My mom and my brother are coming to visit next weekend~ I can't wait to see them :D 6 MORE DAYS!

I was checking my bank account this morning only to discover that I got an extra $117 from the government yesterday. Gotta love that GST~

OK, I'm starting to get antsy, I'm going OUTSIDE!

OMG! My dad got a Mac Mini thing a little while ago, and I get to play on it right now~ It's so cool... Something tells me that I won't be able to look at my Windows PC the same way again...

Pretty uneventful week and a bit since last update. Sarah T and I went shopping last Friday at the Guilford mall in Surrey. I managed to find a really nice dress there for like $50 so score! We had a lot of fun wandering the mall and checking out all the store. We spent a while looking around the little anime store, there was a M.A.C makeup store we checked out... Lots of stuff :D

School's going well. Into my last semester now, and we've got our first test coming up next Wednesday. Vegetables, so it's gonna be really easy. AND I GET TO BE ON BAKING STATION NEXT WEEK! :D Mel is happy~

Going out for dinner with Dad, and possibly Kara, tonight for my Dad's birthday. It's not his offical birthday until Sunday, but I've got that bowling thing tomorrow night and school on Monday, so tonight's the best time for a dinner. Not sure where we're going, but it'll be fun so doesn't really matter.

I got my free copies of TWILIGHT and AUSTRALIA from work, as well as my $50 gift card. I love when my store wins contests, cause it means I get free stuff!

Yay! Time for STARGATE~

I GOT 92% ON MY FINAL TODAY~~~ XD

It was way easier than I thought it was going to be, so yay! :P Only one more semester to go!

Had to go get batteries and more clothes hangers after school today. And I ran into a friend from my Shoppers days. He moved to Alberta for school last August, but he's back here going to school again. Things in Alberta weren't going well I guess *shrug* Anyway, he invited me check out this battle of the bands thing in a couple of weeks, so he said he'll Facebook me and let me know the details :D

OMG THE NEW GOSSIP GIRL WAS ON LAST NIGHT!!!!!! It was sooooooo good~ Totally worth having to wait like 3 weeks for a new one :D

Lost another 3lbs over the weekend! Only 7 to go for WII FIT goal~ I know I yammer on about this a lot, and I don't mean to sound like I'm bragging, it's just that I've been trying to lose weight for a long time and now that I finally am, I get really excited about it. And honestly, this is the best I ever remember feeling about myself (health wise at least, I've always been happy with who I am :D)

Got a catering thing tomorrow night at school that I'm working at. I haven't been able to do any of the functions lately since they all seem to fall on Thursday, which is the day of the week I always work. So as soon as we got one for a day I could make it to, I threw my name down XD

I was watching THE CIRCUIT this morning on the sci fi channel while I was getting ready for school and I had to laugh a little; they were checking out how they made Rorschach's mask move in WATCHMEN and when the segment was done the host was all: Oh, Rorschach... what a bad ass!' XD IT'S SO TRUE!

No homework or studying tonight, so I plan on chilling out and finishing the book I've been reading: GODS BEHAVING BADLY. It's so funny! I seriously can't wait to finish it and see what happens, though I think I already know... It's amusing, but a little on the predictable side...

I LOVE WEEKENDS WHEN I DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING~~~

Spent last night hanging out at Dad's. Caught up on SURVIVOR (yay for PVR), made some green onion cheddar puffs for Dad, had dinner. Just chilled out in general :D

Had some running around to do today. Had lunch with Dad, picked up some conditioner and other various things I needed (and some things I didn't really need, but got anyway) then came home, worked out a little, watched some TV and read for a while.

I'm going to start studying for my final tonight, and I plan on spending most of tomorrow doing so. I don't see it being a hard test. There's less to memorize since this semester had a lot less theory than last.

My teacher was out sick yesterday with an inner ear infection, so we had to deal with the bitchy assistant instructor DX She is so condescending and annoying. She seriously treats us like 2 year olds. Example: I was making the pizza this week and she came up and was telling me how to make ham and pineapple like it was incredibly complicated and I'd never even seen pizza before! And I layed on the sarcasm pretty good through the whole thing, which probably didn't help the situation much, but made me feel better about it XD

Her: 'So, it's ham and pineapple today so you're going to want to do *insert lesson on ham and pineapple pizza*'
Me: '... what's a pineapple?' 0_0

It's getting a little cold in here... Well, I am sitting here in my work out clothes, which aren't exactly heavy, so that might be a factor...

Debating what I want for dinner tonight... I'm not terribly hungry, but I could go for something... maybe I'll just have some cereal or toast...

WII FIT says I'm 'normal' now~~~

When I stared out, I was overweight, but I've made it down to 'normal' now! And I've got less than 10lbs to go before I reach my goal for first round :D After that, it's just 15lbs until I get to my ultimate goal~ Thinking this makes me amazing happy!!

Gotta work tonight... Not really feeling up to it cause I've been getting sick again last couple days, but I need the money and it's only a short shift... And I don't work all weekend so I can rest up then...

I find it kind of weird how much I've been getting sick lately. A few years ago, I was almost never sick, but now it's like I get over one and another is just waiting in line to infect me... *shrug* guess I need to eat for oranges or something...

So, who loves my new Rorschach icon? I know, it's bad ass! LOL, yay for making the requests at sparklesence XD Seriously though, he's so freaking cool!

Time to go to work I guess... Just think Mel, tomorrow is Friday and you have to do absolutly nothing all weekend (ewxcept study for your final, but that's not exactly tiring, just boring)~

So, WATCHMEN last night... FUCKING AMAZING! Everything about it was awesome. The story line was great, the characters were great, the effects were great... It was dark and serious and complex, but still fun and entertaining~ And I LOVE RORSCHACH!! HE WAS SO BAD ASS! Everyone should watch this movie! EVERYONE!!!

I picked Sarah T up around 7:30PM and we drove out to Mission, looked around some stores and went for dinner. We got to the theater about an hour before the movie started so we would have a decent place in line. Sarah K met up with us after she got off work, John and his girlfriend were there and Sarah T's other friends managed to find us in the line up so we had a good little group going on. Lots of people were dressed up as the characters, which was awesome. Even one of our group came in costume (HE WAS RORSCHACH!!) All the other people around us in the line up were really cool too. Everyone was having fun and talking to everyone and being really cool. So the whole night was really fun~

Slept nice and late today, got up around noon (movie last night didn't let up until 1:30AM and I didn't get home until around 2)~

I'm going to go do some WII FIT for a little while, then I've got to go pick up some things (groceries and what not) I should do some more studying tonight too (test on Monday and my final's coming up on Friday)

Gonna have to force myself to sleep tonight so I can be up at 7:00AM for work tomorrow... Totally worth it thought... WATCHMEN ROCKS!

OMG WATCHMEN LAST NIGHT WAS SO FUCKING AWESOME!!! GO SEE IT! GO NOW!!!

More later, I just woke up and need to shower...

OMG GOING TO WATCHMEN TONIGHT SO EXCITED I THINK I MIGHT EXPLODE!!!!!!! XD

Well, I've made a pretty decent amount of progress on that colouring project I got myself into. I finished Sakura's hair (which took twice as long as Syaoran's DX) and I started on the other parts of it. I'll probably have it done by the end of the week at this rate and i'll be glad to be done with it, i have no clue what i was thinking when i started this...

Got a new layout again... I got kinda bored with the other one. Just a simple one again, and I changed my journal title. Yeah for Snow Patrol lyrics~

Mike heads back home on Friday, and Dad has to work a little late tomorrow night, so Mike and I are going to grab some dinner and go see a movie or something. Not sure exactly, we'll probably just leave the house and end up where we end up *shrug*

Time to pop some more vitamin C tablets... This stupid cold thing just won't go away, but I haven't fully caught it yet... It's like I'm TRAPPED IN COLD LIMBO WITH NO HOPE OF ESCAPE!!! DX

So I got bored about earlier and thought 'I'll do some Photoshop, just to kill some time' and I remembered this page from chapter 214 of TSUBASA and that I kinda wanted to colour it... So I am... And I'm already dreading doing the whole thing. SYAORAN'S HAIR TOOK FUCKING FOREVER DX!! I can only imagine how hard Sakura's hair is going to be *dread* But now I'm really determined to actually finish it... I'm such an idiot DX

I've still got some WII FIT to do today too... I need to pry myself away from this project for a bit and finish that off...

Had a test today. Only got 80%, but the test was only out of 20, so by getting 4 wrong, my percentage got fuckered. Still, it's a decent mark and the question I lost marks on was kind of unfair according to my teacher *shrug*

Ate a crazy amount of taco's at Dad's on Friday night. I had 2 portabella fajitas and 2 beef ones, all of which loaded with guacamole and sour cream. I did an extra hour of WII FIT on Saturday to make up for it, but I still gained a couple of pounds. TOTALLY WORTH IT THOUGH! YUMMY TACOS ARE YUMMY!!

OK, time to pull myself away from Photoshop; Sakura's hair can wait until tomorrow...

S N O W
D A Y!!!

Well, not officially, but the freeway is shit so I'm staying home~ XD I'm totally having a YU YU HAKUSHO marathon today!

YU YU HAKUSHO SEASON 4 CAME IN~ Too bad season 3 hasn't arrived yet... XD

I'm a bad friend; it's Tiegan's birthday tomorrow, and I forgot to mail his present DX I guess I'll just have to give it to him in person when I get a chance to visit home again... I'll make him a CD too, just for good measure...

I did really well on my test today, which shocked the hell out of me because I thought for sure I'd bomb this one. I got something like 91%, so yay!

I'm so happy that tomorrow's Friday. I have to work that night and I work Saturday and Sunday, but I get to sleep in on Saturday since I don't start until 11:30AM~ Though I'm going to miss being on baking...

I'm going to play on Photoshop for a while before I do my daily WII FIT routine :D
