Duude its like -50 Celsius with the wind chill. Ugh, nothing beats living in Canada during the middle of the winter. I only have 2 days before I have to go back to school for my 2nd semester and I wanted to go out and you know DO SOMETHING seeing as the last couple of weeks I've been studying like crazy for exams. But I guess that won't happen as I am pretty much stranded in my house as the car just refuses to turn on.
I'm starting this post with nothing really to say..I just felt like blogging and since I've finished all my exams and don't go back to school till the 31st I'm super bored.
I'm listening to live coverage of the South Carolina Primary on the youngturks.com haha I've been looking forward to it all day, thats how nerdy I am. I'd be pretty surprised if Obama didn't win tonight as there is a large population of African American voters in South Carolina.
Also, this is kinda random.. but does anyone have any recomendations for a good book? I read all kinds of books but I usually go for something with a main character I can somewhat relate to or anything thats very real, I'm not usually into fantasy type books but I have read a couple I've liked. I also love interesting biographies so if anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
Two and a 1/2 diplomas down only a English Part B diploma left!! This past two weeks have been very stressful. My Biology diploma went pretty well, especially the written part which I thought was incredibly easy. I just finished my Math diploma today and lets just say i'll definetely be redoing Math next semester. The written part wasn't too hard BUT I pretty much guessed every single one of my multiple choice questions. By the end I wasn't even reading the questions i just began filling in random bubbles on my answer sheet :S The only thing that makes me feel alittle better is that I'm not the only one who thought the exam was impossibly hard.
As I walked out of the exam I saw one of my friends who had finished the diploma 10 mins earlier walking towards me, before I could say a single word she yells WHAT THE FUCK KINDA EXAM WAS THAT???! Then we both began venting our fustrations about the diploma to one another. I guess we got carried away and were being really loud because one of the teachers came out of her classroom and began yelling at us to shut up as there were still people writing the exam. I don't think I've ever been so clueless during an exam I studied for in my entire life.
The good thing is I'll only have to endure one more exam before the semester is over. A reading comprehension exam filled with indecipherable peices of Shakespeare and poetry along with short stories on incredibly boring topics.
"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality." - Albert Einstein
One thing I tend to get in shit for is questioning authority figures and their rules. I have this thing about having everything being as fair and logical as possible, and when I feel something is unjust I'll want to debate with you until you see things my way or can provide a good enough agrument to pursuade my opinions. Unfortunately most people around me just don't care for a good debate..well either that or they know what they're saying is completely irrational and stupid and just don't care what anyone else has to say about it, which most times is the case. I get labeled as being difficult or bitchy for questioning everything and my father is convinced that I should be a lawyer, but it's just the way I am.
I believe if you're not constantly questioning things than your just not thinking . People who go through life following others and just accepting everything they are told are morons.
Sometimes I get up early in the morning for school sleep deprived, completely stressed out with the workload and worrying about getting good enough marks when I start thinking : Fuck it, it would be sooo much easier to do what 80% of all the arab girls around me do, just barely get through highschool with no real care to educate myself then I'll get married & have kids and become the typical housewife.
Then I remember that I actually want to do something with my life. Changing diapers and scrubbing the kitchen floor for an eternity is not my idea of sucess.
I'm going to make this really brief...I'm suuuper stressed out right now with school work. Yesterday I pretty much spent my entire day studying/writing an essay/ doing other homework and it looks like its going to be that way all week :/ I haven't even had time for the internet...people who know me will tell you the internet is pretty much my best friend. You know what the worst part is? I'm putting soo much time and effort into my school work and STILL my marks are pretty low. ugghh nothing is ever good enough.
You know what the key to happiness is? Having a really shitty memory and being totally ignorant of everyone elses problems
Anyways, only ONE more day left of Christmas Break! I really don't want it to end ;( The last two weeks have just flown by. When I go back I'll have two weeks of insane in class preperation for diplomas which will consist of all my teachers piling on the homework in order to finish the course on time. Then after those two week theres exam week: One week of hell where I will worry/study like an insane person/complete all my oh so important diploma exams. The worst part is we finish school on a thursday and my Biology diploma is THE NEXT DAY and apparantly we will be studying new material up to the last day which means there will be no class review. WTF?!! How am I suppose to be ready for the next day????
I've been looking everywhere and can't seem to find the t-shirt I've seen people wearing. I'm looking for those t-shirts that say " Peace Now" and other messages in big black writing. They look something like this, but more fitted:
Btw the ones above are from Urban Outfitters.. So if anyone could tell me where to get t-shirts like these but more fitted I would really appreciate it.
Soo yesterday I finally got to go shopping which I've wanting to do for a while now...I didn't go crazy (this time) but I did end up with a few things.
Sweater and navy top from Bluenotes
Rosie O'donnell's book Celebirty Detox from Coles
Buffy The Vampire Slayer season 3 & Angel season 3 DVD from HMV
I don't know if you can tell or not but I'm completely obsessed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer (yes I knowww it sounds dumb but don't judge it by the name) and the spin-off show Angel, and have been for many years. And when I become obsessed with something I really get obsessed with it.
Never have I watched a show that could make me laugh,cry and scare me shitless in the same episode. It has everything from comedy to drama to horror. Aaand there's that whole women empowerment thing I love. Haha I thought I'd share some pictures of all my buffy/Angel stuff. Yes I know its superrr nerdy but w/e.
All my Buffy/Angel Dvds I still don't have them all yet :(
I saw this calendar at the mall and had to have it
My 2 Buffy comics and the cards that came with them that I got off Ebay
Annnd the dorkiest thing of them all my "Buffy Wall" in my room. Lol everyone who comes into my room and sees this shakes their head.
Soo I'm watching the live coverage of the Iowa Caucus vote on the youngturks.com and I have to say I'm pretty excited..yes I know how nerdy that sounds.. It's a big deal seeing as who ever wins the Iowa Caucus usually goes on to become the presidential candidate.
So I'm not really paying attention to the Republican candidate votes I'm mostly focusing on the Democratic Candidates. It looks like its going to be really close between Edwards Obama and Hillary. At this very moment Obama seems to be in the lead but only by like 0.6 % yes only 0.6%...I have noo idea who's going to take it because those top three keep switching for first place, but then again it's early.
Personally I would like to see Obama become president but I definetely wouldn't complain with having Edwards win, I mean I agree with most of his points but something seems alittle off about him to me.. I would have to say Hillary is my least favorite and even though she would be better than pretty much any Republican and seeing a women as the president of United States would make me proud, she is definetely not one of my top picks.
You know what the sad thing is? I'm a Canadian and I have pretty much no interest in the going ons of my own government. I mean obviously I know the basics but I don't find Canadian politics that interesting and obviously whoever wins the presidency in the U.S will have a greater effect on the world's events as we have seen with this senseless/endless war in Iraq.
So i was going to blog with a intro post about myself, but I'm waaay to fucking mad to waste my time with it.
People suck, just in general people suck. When someone gives me their fucking word i expect them to stick to it especially when they have no reason not to. Whats worse is they don't even feel bad about breaking word and even have the nerve to tell me they never gave me their word in the first place even when both of us know they are fucking lying.
I'm also a dumbass for fucking believing them even when they have done the same shit before. I'm over them though, I maybe friendly with them once I calm down, but their word me absolutely nothing to me and I now know they have no problem at all lying to my face. Ughh.
If there is one thing I really can't stand it's people who lie about the dumbest things imaginable even when you've seen them do the thing your accusing them of. If your good at lying and you can get away with it then I say go for it, but if you fucking suck at it don't do it because you'll come off as the biggest moron ever.
