The sky is deeper than the truth.

Today started in the afternoon. Yes, I woke up 2:20PM today. I had a class at 4, so I kind of rushed to get ready. I was expecting to get to leave my house at 3:05 but due to much nagging from my dad, I left 5 minutes later. I literally watched the bus pass me as I was walking. So I had to wait another 15 minutes for the next bus to come and got to school 10 minutes before class started. Luckily my friend saved me a seat. I really wished I had a chance to get a coffee before class because that lecture was BORING. My friend fell asleep twice and I had to buy m&ms to stay awake. So we tend to leave the class around 6... but today the professor decided to cover a topic for next week just in case of a strike. Oh joy. Well, at least I know why my friend's mohawk changes from blue to purple now. METAMERS!!!

So I'm procrastinating yet again. I have to fix up a report for one of my classes and I want a great deal of my typography homework done today. I'm expecting to sleep at 3AM today.. wake up at 10AM and then go class at 2. Sounds good? 

Nothing much really happened today besides that. 

Well, I guess I'll post some random thoughts I've been having. It's a change from the endless drone of daily activities I discuss. So by some observation, I want to know why people change their demeanor depending on who they talk to. I mean, if you really want someone to be your friend, shouldn't you just try to be yourself? If you have to change yourself in order to be that person's friend, then they don't deserve to have you as a friend. Wow, getting redundant. I guess that's the result of writing down anything that comes to your head. Well, that's really what's been bothering me lately. Why is it so important to be liked by everyone? It reminds me of that episode of Recess where T.J. finds out that Gordie doesn't like him. T.J. then tries his hardest to make Gordie like him. He puts all this energy into it but to no avail. At the end of the episode, Gordie still doesn't like T.J. So, what I got from that episode was, not everyone's going to like you (well, the real you anyway...). Well, that and the fact that you should save your energy and spend it on other things. So yeah, random observations and my take on it. I guess this is a rant. 

So I should start working... I'm such a failure. 

The End.

Utterly lazy.

I'm currently sitting idle in my room, watching my computer screen. 
2.5 hours ago, I went to my cousin's baptism. It was pretty good. We got to the church about 20 minutes late.. but somehow, we made it just in time for the climax: that actual baptizing. Anyway, after that, we got to the Mandarin restaurant 30 minutes early. We stayed in the car for about 20 minutes because I had to wrap the present. Once we got in, my godfather, his wife, my uncle and his wife joined us at the table. It was kind of strange because they were actually talking to me. I mean before, they would talk to me.. but it would be really strained and awkward; like they were talking to me because they were my relatives and they had to. This time was different, we actually talked for long periods of time.. and it wasn't awkward at all. Well, the exception of all of that awkward stuff was my godfather's wife. She's so cool. haha. 

So I didn't eat since 12 today because we had to go to church, then go straight to the baptism. As soon as we got the "ok" to go eat, I ate... a lot. I was pretty shocked. As the party was ending, I got to carry my god sister for a while. It was funny because my godmother was holding her, and when her daughter saw me, she was holding out her arms to me. It was interesting because as I was holding her, she was so relaxed. You know how babies tend to move around and try to point and grab at stuff? She was totally chilled out. I love that kid, she's so cute. So I was holding her for a really long time and I didn't even realize that my parents already left the restaurant, waiting in the car. They had to call my brother to let us know. 

Something weird but totally awesome just happened. So the other day, I had to go to school really early to print out a bunch of stuff. The thing is, I couldn't find my card access key... and I was panicking a little. I would have to pay some replacement fee. Luckily someone was in the lab to open the door for me. Anyway, I was mildly freaking out the whole weekend. I was about to clean up my room to look for it...and what's weird is, I find the lanyard with the access key attached hanging off my doorknob. I have a feeling someone found it for me because it was hanging outside of my door. Thank God. 

There isn't really much to say... I'm really, really lazy. I've been sitting in front of my laptop for.. 3 hours now? I have some work to do.. but I'm thinking I'll do it tomorrow before my class at 4. Oh, so the TAs at my school are planning to vote for  the strike this Wednesday. If they vote to have a strike, there won't be any classes on Thursday. Not only does it suck that I might have part of my semester dragged into May.. but I also have to go to Oakville on Wednesdays still. Furthermore, the bus stops at York won't have busses passing through.. we'll have to find another stop to go to. It wouldn't suck as much if it wasn't freezing... but it is. So it sucks big time. 

So I really want a snowboard now. I've been looking at boards and stuff.. and I feel like a total poser. haha. I really need a job. That way, I can buy one and not be n00b. I'm soooo excited for the trip! 

Oh, I just remembered. It seems everyone wants to get me drunk. 
I was talking to my friend on msn and he was telling me that I should go visit him in Ottawa if my school goes on strike. Then, he said that he'll get my drunk like crazy. The day before that, my friend's boyfriend said that him and I should go drinking together and do some vodka shots.. which is really funny cause he's Russian. I don't drink much... actually I rarely do. If I were to go drinking with either one of them I'd probably throw up after 3 drinks. 

Well, I'll just finish up here. Back to procrastination.

The End. 

P.S. At Mandarin today, I was looking at those placemats that have pictures of drinks on them.. and the font was TERRIBLE. It looked like Arial i.e. poser Helvetica. Way too boxy. Made the place mat look... cheap. Hurray for typography rants!

P.S.S. I bought lottery tickets for my mom and I. I hope we win enough for a snowboard and gear. haha.
