Hats!

Here are a couple of things that I knit recently! The first is my first attempt at making a hat on circular needles. Needless to say, I LOVE circular needles!!
After making that hat, I decided I wanted to make something more my own, with my own sort of pattern. This is the result of that:

Vacation's Over :(

That's a picture of my cat, Rogue. She's a cutie :D.

My trip to Guelph just ended yesterday :(. I had SUCH a great time. Met some old aquaintances and became a little closer to friends with said aquaintances. Made some chainmail, ate some food, and just generally had a great time.

Tomorrow I start Tai Chi! I am SO excited! I don't have the special shoes yet, but I will have them one day :D.

Tai Chi

I'm pretty excited because my mom and I are going to be taking a Tai Chi class! It's a class for beginners, and it is going to be every Tuesday night for six weeks. AND we have to get those little canvas shoes that they always wear in the kung-fu movies! That is wicked awesome :D.

Two more days til I go to Guelph!

Almost There!

So I am, like, ONE question away from being finished the high school course I am taking. Which once I am done will knock my remaining credits from 3 down to 2! Hooray!! My problem with this course is that there's a lot of "opinion" type questions, that I don't always have opinions about! And it's kind of hard to just come up with one right on the spot. And then I fret and worry about whether I'm going to get the question "wrong" because I am just flying by the seat of my pants lol. I've been doing really well so far, but at the same time, I think I prefer questions that have a specific right or wrong answer. And I ESPECIALLY don't like "read between the lines" type of questions. I have NEVER been able to do that. lol.

Three more days of work til my trip to Guelph!! Hooray!!

Day Off!!

And it was COMPLETELY unrelaxing. I spent this morning trying to dig my car out. Turns out, my car was stuck in, like, an ice pit. I had to get my dad to help push me out, but he couldn't do it by himself, and these two guys who were driving by got out and helped too. Then I had to clean out my car because I'm going to Guelph this weekend and may have some people to drive. So I needed to clean out the back seat.

Then this afternoon I had to go get my comics, because I haven't been in weeks, and I had to get gas and an oil change. Turns out the fuel filter in my car is leaking, my windshield wipers are streaky and my air filter is dirty. All of these need to be changed. Of course, I am SUPER poor right now, so I put all of those off. Hopefully not for long though...

Just now, I was going to upload some of my homework to the website, and there's some note about the site licence expiring and I need to tell my tutor. Who is my tutor?! Does this mean I can't finish the course? I'm gonna be PISSED if that is the case. >:(

On a brighter note, I have four more days of work and then I go on my two day vacation to Guelph lol.

Snowed In!

I can't believe it! I went to go to work this morning and my car was literally covered in snow!! The snow on the ground went halfway up my car, and the snow on top was a good 2 feet thick!! It has been a looooooong time since we've seen this much snow. So yeah. After about an hour of shovelling I still can't get out of my driveway and I had to call my boss and tell her there was no way I was gonna be able to come in. Which is bittersweet. It's good cuz I now have a snow day, but it's bad because I am losing about 12-13 hours of work that I REALLY need this time of year. So I guess we'll just see what happens! Maybe I'll just spend the day playing with my sister's new Wii :). Or doing homework lol.

Dummy

So I definitely locked my keys in my car today. While I was in St. Catharines. Gr.... I called my mom, because she has my spare key and she said she couldn't get out of work early and I would have to wait. So then I called the tow truck, and they said it would be an HOUR for the truck to come. Screw that. I called my mom back and got her to come get me. If it was gonna take an hour anyways, I might as well not pay for it. But that totally stuck a wrench in my plans for this afternoon!

Tonight, however, I am going to see my nephew and sister in law and then going to a $5 cardio boxing class with my older sister. Maybe I can punch all my new-found frustrations out.

2 Miles!

Today was the first REALLY mild day (like, 10 degrees!) of the year and I worked in a basement from 12-8. Talk about major bummer. HOWEVER I just couldn't let the beautiful temperature go to waste, so at about 9:30 tonight, DESPITE the fact that it was raining slightly, I went for my first bike ride of the year! It was good! I just rode around the block... but the block is huge. The whole ride was probably about 2 miles. Took me about 20, 25 minutes. So yeah. I was definitely really sweaty and sore when I got home, but it feels really good! You know that good pain, where it really hurts, but you know you just did something really good to get it. So yeah. I was pretty excited about that. But the sad news is there probably won't be a follow-up ride tomorrow, because the weather is calling for freezing rain and snowstorms and a massive drop in temperature tonight. Oh boy does that ever SUCK!

I'm pretty excited though because this is one of the last weeks before the summer season that we'll be closed during the week. So I have Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday off. I am going to make the best of that time with a mixture of resting and going out. Tomorrow I plan to purchase the new God of War game that is being released for the PSP. Assuming that I don't get screwed because I live in Canada. That is usually the case, so I'm trying not to let myself get tooooo excited. But even if that doesn't happen, I can still get my comic books, so that will make me happy lol. I should probably clean my room and organize my comic books at some point too. I haven't done that in a while, so there are comics lying around everywhere. Really bad for them... but honestly. They're probably never going to be worth much so who cares lol.

iPod

So after my Windows Vista fiasco, I've come to start respecting Apple. And as my first sign of support, I purchased a second generation iPod nano. Used... from my friend... but nevertheless lol. So yeah, I'm pretty excited. I've had an mp3 player before, but this thing totally puts it to shame. I am blown away by the 4gb of storage space. Aparently that's not much, but I'm sheltered, so to me it's a whole universe of song space lol. I am still putting music on it. I keep thinking I'm going to run out of space, but I haven't as of yet.
