The Joy of Being Happy

Fruits

2010-09-16T22:22:00.003-04:00

Being "allergic" to fruits sucks. I don't have any severe reactions. But still, if you just take a bite, and your tongue goes crazy itchy, it's no fun at all! Anyhow, I found the origin of my reaction yesterday. Turns out I'm severely allergic to trees. The doc didn't specifically tell me what trees, but I'm guessing it's the flowers in general, since that's where fruits come from.

My allergic test sucked. I was doing it at the same time as some other guy. He had no reaction. My arm started to become red and swollen instantly. It fucking stung! I had these giant mosquitoes looking bites all over my arm. Turns out I'm allergic to many things. Arg, thinking about yesterday itches my arm. I still have bunch of red dots all over my arm too.

Anyhow, the purpose of my visit to the hospital yesterday was for my breathing test and to see a pulmonary doc. Breathing tests are haaaaaaard. They make you force like fucking crazy! I can hear like other nurses or whatever yelling "PUUUUSH" from outside, in the waiting room. Yo man, it sounds like pregnant woman going through labor or something. I had a pregnant nurse serving me though, heh. Going back in a few weeks, for an other test. :3

School has been tiresome. Spending lots of time in the library. Don't think I did well in my business exam. @_@ Math wasn't so bad. Got a research method exam next week, French and English essay to write. French and English oral to present soon.

Work has been fucking crazy though. I'm on like 2 phones, with second line on hold, with a gazillion of people waiting in front of me. D: Is this hectic work worth it? Is the tips worth it? Noooo. But I need a job so yeah ahaha. Gotta work with what I got (: Well, I actually enjoy working sometimes. Depend on the people there. Some customers can be so bitchy. Then I would sound pissed off and impatient on the phone. Today wasn't so bad. Was really tired after school. Thank god, I took a nap during my break. Heh. Or else, I would be dead tired for work. Although, I'm working on Tuesdays now instead. Don't have any long break. I wonder how will I do at work now. Will need to go hardcore on coffee soon.

Massive and huge credit card debt for a person that only works twice a week on min wage. D:
Shoot me. Rofl. Dead tired, yay for friday where I start late!
I need my freaking sleep. Oh and, driving exam next Friday. I better pass. I don't want to be stuck with public transportation as my only options when my parents will be gone to China for a month ):

It's about time

2010-08-24T22:54:00.000-04:00

I hate Tuesdays. They're just long and boring. Bunch of breaks. God, I spend so much time in the library D: Had gym in the morning. I was unfortunately late. Walking up from the metro to the school is much longer than expected. Finished that class earlier, so had to vedge in the library for two hours. A bit before noon, went to French class. I might actually do alright this time. Ahaha, I laughed so much in my head when the teacher told me that I would be one of the strong students of the class. I should feel happy, but in my mind, it's just impossible. Me, good in French? Psssshhhh, that's a good one. Then again, I am now in an Anglophone school. So, maybe their French is just like mine ! Which means a failing grade at Notre-Dame is an awesome grade at Marianopolis! Woohoo! After that came "Activity period". Holy cow, were those two hours loooong. I seriously couldn't wait to get the day over with. I also had Math in the end. It was alright. The teacher is somewhat monotone, so it's kind of hard to stay awake. I can't believe he kept us the entire class though. I wonder how would I do in English. I'm still used to the French terms in Math. Even when the teacher was speaking, I was somewhat translating certain terms from English to French. Math seems easy so far. It's only review. Basics that we've already learn.
After this dreadful day and a painful bus ride, I came home to find two large boxes in my room! Oh my god, my new PC finally arrived! I don't need to bear with the idea that my laptop could crash anytime anymore. Although, when I was transferring certain files, it was failing on me. After five years of rough work, I think it's time for the laptop is take a break. The specs of the new PC isn't the current best out there, but sure beats anything I ever owned before. Was going to get quad-core, but ended up with an i3. Oh well, as long it works. And it can play Starcraft 2. Ahaha, I can finally just finish the goddamn story. I don't plan on nerding online though. Well, at least, I hope not...So, even with my awesome allergies and the dust collecting under my desk, I went on ahead and set up the PC. Was butt-tired from school and all. I was still motivated enough to play a bit of SCII for an hour. Oh no, I'm such a geek.
Overall, today, it had its ups and downs. What's bothering me the most right now, is that Toby took one of my slippers and put it somewhere while I was gone today for school. Now, I really can't find the other side. I don't usually mind walking in barefoot or socks, but the idea of doing that in my own house? Naah. There's like more Toby hair on my bed than there is of mine. I will one day find it. As for now, I'm wearing my sandals. Not cool.
Oh my god, my eyes are dying. Allergies are killing me. However, I can't take any meds for it since I'm apparently doing some allergic tests soon and I'm not allowed to take any meds, two weeks before my appointment...Somebody, shot me in the eyes! D: Hmm, I need to go buy my text books, but omnivox keeps on crashing on me. So, I can't get my hands on second-hand books. I checked out concordia book store website. The prices isn't that huge of a difference. At least, none of them are over a 100$ since they are customized for Marianopolis students to only have a part of the content of the real book. On Friday, I'll have to go to Concordia and buy whatever missing books. Hopefully, they'll still be in stock D:

First day of school

2010-08-23T22:59:00.000-04:00

Today is the day I first start cegep. Oh boy, was it...long. At least, I start at 9:45 AM. Don't need to wake up early on a first day. Thank god, I bumped into people I knew. But still, I vedge around in the library like a loser for an hour.
Started at 9:45 AM with Fundamentals of Business. Was suppose to finish around 11 AM, but it was first class. So, got out at like...10:45 AM? Teacher didn't seem so bad. He's those very..."updated with the world" type of guy. Almost everything that the students mentioned, he knew about it. When he asked me, "What's your favorite TV show?" The first thing that came into my mind was "How I met your mother" since it was the show I watched this summer, heh. He was like, "Huh, it's alright." Whaaaaat? What do you mean by "It's alright" ?!?!?!? This will mark me forever! Ahaha...Anyways, need to buy a text book for his class. Went on Omnivox to check out the second hand one. Contacted somebody, that person replied back. Hopefully, he or she will reply back to me again for a meeting time. So, that's one book down :D
An hour break, library vedge. Lonely petite Asian girl in the corner of the library in the tiny cubicle...calculating her debts and how will it'll take to pay back. Ahaha, on the side note, I almost had an heart attack when I saw 500$ to a 1 350$ credit card bill online. Completely forgot I bought a new PC using my Mastercard. You know what sucks about this? I'm just really rambling random stuff that just comes to my mind. I would be talking about one thing and it just changes topic. Man, this will never end.
Anyways, had English class at 12:15 PM until 2ish PM. Wasn't so bad. New teacher. Exchanged contacts with a few people in class for the "Buddy System" the teacher made, so if we miss a class, we would have somebody to contact. Blah blah, had to write an essay at the end of the class. It made me realize how much my English...sucked! Honestly, throughout my five years at Notre-Dame, my English did not improve. (As in it never improved in school. Might have learned a few words on the Internet or while reading a book here and there. Essay forms, and stuffs like that, oh boy. Did I not learn anything...) Hopefully, I can keep up with this class ): The text I had to read and write about, I understood the basics. However, if you asked me the meaning of a certain word, I would have no idea ): Plus, I haven't really written an English essay spontaneously since forever...Man, I can't imagine the amount of English mistakes I have in there. Thinking about it just kills me D: New teacher, so new text book to get. No second hand~
Anyways, after this, had a "lunch break". Ate my leftover from Tao's. Completely forgot that I already ate all the noodles and there was only like veggies and some shrimps left. Didn't fill me up. But it was enough to live with. Walked down to Starbucks. Got coffee frap and a carrot muffin. Muffin, good. Frap, shit. I don't know what did the girl do, but it was so....creamy? I don't know. It just didn't taste the same at all. After drinking maybe half of it, my throat started to hurt. Just threw it away. Don't like wasting food like that ): Very long break from 2 PM until 4:15 PM. Maybe, I should have gone home. I don't know. I'll have to see about the bus schedule and is it worth my time. If there isn't many stops, it can take up to 20 minutes for me to get home or 10 minutes if it's empty.
Last class at 4:15! Research methods. The purpose of this class seems alright. So far, the idea of doing surveys doesn't bore me or anything. It seems somewhat interesting. Not the best and the most exciting activity out there. But it sure beats having just a lecture for 2 hours straight. Head was killing me during his class though. God, do I hate these random headaches. Finished at 5:30 instead of 6 so had time to catch the 124 to get home :D Long bus ride, head was killing me, the sunlight was not helping at all. Need to get his text book ASAP.
Planning on going to Concordia this Friday to get the text books that I can't get second hand.
Long day, not used to it. Very tired. Should go to sleep soon. Well try to, still having trouble adjusting to the time. Start at 8:15 AM tomorrow. Yay (:
