I have completely forgotten that it is Ash Wednesday. Argh, I'm so bad. I packed a good lunch and everything, and I'm going to Shima's for the big anticipated dinner! Go Christ! Anyways, God forgive me. Hmmm, what am I going to give up this Lenten season? Any ideas?

I understand that living with roommates, you've got to compromise and co-operate with one another, but when is enough enough? Maybe I'm a spoiled bratt that always got his own way back at home, but I find is extremely hard to continuously having to sacrifice, when others don't seem to be doing their fair share.

Every morning, there has to be a fight for the washroom: and this will continue until the end of the term as we both work at 8:30 and he takes ridiculously long showers. The phone is another issue: I'm a girl and I need the phone. But it is constantly tied down by my roommate and his girlfriend. And the usual problems arises: dishes are never clean, people continuously "missing" the toilet when pissing. I'm tired of this crap.

I know I am a selfish bastard who wants everything my own way, but my tolerance has drained to my toes. I have politely spoken about these problems, but it seems that he just doesn't care. People have been telling me to "suck it up", but I'm really afraid that one day I will just explode-- I'm tired of being a doormat. And, yes I'm only on the halfway point in my rent lease, oh my. Here's another reason why I wanna go to U of T. Argh. Is there such thing as a "good roommate"? Is that, too, an oxymoron? Well, maybe not, Gary, is the best roommate I've had, like, ever!

Enough ranting. Weekend was fun, Paolo has this amazing bachelor pad midtown at Bathurst & St Clair. What a nice neighbourhood. Nice downtown atmosphere, without being exactly downtown. Efficient streetcar service, and exciting storefronts. Argh, so nice. :D Had a very good time, me and Paolo passed out, but donno why Martina was all sober-- Shawn left early :D Also got to see Mambo Italiano at Eric's on Saturday, what a good movie, lol. So funny :D I love Angelo's shirts! WOO!

That is all. Oh weekend, weekend, please come to me now!

Update:
My goodness it's finally friday. This quiet Reading week is over :D I'm officially a graduate of Introductory AutoCAD! I want a diploma, dammit! I wanna learn FormZ now. Anyways, I have no idea when I'll get to apply my knowledge-- that's is if I rememeber what I've learned. The instructor was pretty good, very patient with us. Though I did rant to my Academic Advisor / Boss the "Architectural" nature and bias of his classes and the next day, she addressed the complaint (annonymously). She's a pretty cool lady: she's like my mom. (Aww, I miss my mom.) They *do* care about their students. :D

Nothing else to report. It's been pleasantly quiet. I like indeed. I've been a lot happier the past few days. The weather has been so good. The warmness makes me really happy-- soon, just soon, we will be wearing t-shirts and tanks again! woo! skin makes me happy. lol

Here we go,
So yes, banks are retarded. When I was ten, my dad decided to open a bank account for me at TD so I can learn the value of money through my 'red pockets'. Anyways, there was no more than like $100 in that account, and I remember lending like $70 to my sister for her (ugly) prom dress. Anyways, I later then worked at McDicks, and they forced all employees to get a CIBC account which brought me here to date.

Anyways, I get a notice from TD saying that I have a "dormant account" and you will be charged. The balance in my account was $4.26. If I do my math correctly: ($100 - 70 - 4.26 = @ $25.74) they charge me about 25 bucks (How many lottery tickets is that?).

What the hell? First of all, I'm giving you money (for quite a long period), and you're charging me? What the fuck? I'm sure you've been wisely using my miniscule amount money into investments. To put it into perspective: I am PAYING for them to keep my money for them to invest and make more money. Perhaps I'm a retarded planner, but this doesn't make sense to me. I need to get my hands on starting a new bank and jump on the bandwagon to charge customers for having banks keep money. Hmmm. LeeBank, I like, I like. Who wants in?

I ended up closing that account and of course with the TD-Canada Trust merger, my TD branch at Brimley/Steeles have closed and I had to trek all the way to Pacific Mall to do it. Argh. I get there, and they say that they can't find my file, and then they explain to me that the merging of branch locations has caused a lot of confusion. I'm like, you're a bank, there better not be confusion. Besides, I don't care-- who decided to close my branch? Geez!

So yes, banks are officially on my evil list. DIE DIE!

First off: FINALITY IS FINALLY BACK! Woo hoo, Chris!

Happy reading week everyone! Hope everyone is having a good one! AutoCAD class has been pretty good-- just kinda learning the basic stuff. The instructor is an architect, so he has his biases and perspectives, but he's a pretty good guy. He kinda speaks like a textbook tho and personally, he keeps saying "Zoom in a little tight!" and everytime he says that, I can't help but giggle. lol. I know, I'm so bad, but it's a very sensitve word. :D

I was fortunate enough to have a FedBus buddy back to Waterloo on Sunday night-- Michael Chak! He's doing pretty well, but he's still kinda out of it. He wasn't aware that he had reading week (or days) until I told him! (Yes, he's in Math, but he still has Thursday and Friday off.) He's studying CS and lives in Village One, and he intends to take Summer school.

Had a pretty good weekend, saw another Broadway show "Copenhagen", quite a weird one, I don't completely understand. It was a very science-y play about the research of the atomic bomb during the Second World War. Very technical play. But not as crazy as Scaramouche Jones, and the Adventures of a Black Girl in Search of God.

Did you know Dr. Robert Atkins, the founder of the popular Atkins low-carb diet passed away overweight? Hmmm. makes you wonder. :S How could this diet be good for you by restricting from eating one type of food?

HAHHA, great news! Barbie dumps Ken! According to Mattel, Barbie dumps Ken to focus on her new independed career woman image. Also, there's questions about Ken's sexual orientation. Hmmm, how modern, ladies and gents. lol. Too bad I'm not attracted to plastic. :(
Read about what happened!

Here's a really good website! you can play twenty questions on this website! It's really knows what you're thinking! Let me know how it did on your guess!!!

hey everyone, hope you're enjoying the new layout. yes, the dirty old curious george and his dirty sidekick, "man in the yellow hat". lol. I had to make a dirty layout, too bad the images are of bad quality. I have three graphics made, they will be randomized once I find the HTML code.

This week had been busy busy. At work, I go from being laidback and having nothing to do, to having stockpiles of stuff to do. It's funny how wishes turn out-- be careful what you wish for, ladies and gents! Though I'm glad I'm busy, I enjoy being depended on and now I can fully show myself and my potential.

Reading week is fast approach, but I, however, will be in Waterloo. Boo. I will be particulary busy with the supplementary AutoCAD class I'm taking. I go to school during the day and work in the evening. I will be on campus from 9 - 9, yikes. Anyways, it's alright I guess, because I figured CAD would be good for me. It was originally not supposed to be a go, but thanks to Jeff and his Archi posse, we have just enough to make a class! YAY! Go (particular) architects!

The HRM exam was harder than I thought, but I think I did alright. We'll see what happens. Valentines Day is coming up. I think it's a shitty, crapola day in which magically everything you see becomes red and pink. For those guys out there, it's just another one of those days in the calendar where they need to buy something nice for a stupid day. Stupid stupid day. STUPID. Of course, I'm just saying that because of my situation. But still! It's a stupid dumb-retarded day. Time for write some bitter poetry, go on Lavalife, and order Chinese take out dinners for one in stereotypical Chinese food cartons. (Maybe I'll have Spring Rolls).

It's getting late, no features this entry.

What do you guyz think about Valentines?

This has been a good week! I've been awfully busy reviewing for my Human Resources Exam (yes, reviewing, not reading for the first time :D) and I've actually been busier at work too! This is good stuff. Maybe my co-workers are used to me being around, so it "clicks" to them to ask me for help.

There is nothing to take in the Spring Term. Waterloo is retarded, so is the School of Planning for giving us four electives this term. They make an academic term with nothing to to take within Planning. GIS is only only required class next term. So I gotta find myself 4 electives :S. This is not an easy task-- knowing how undecisive I am and all the classes seem to be on Tuesday-Thursday, which makes scheduling mindboggling. We'll see what happens.

I've acutally been busy this week! As you can see through my nonblogness. This is great, keep the busy-ness coming! YAY. Anyways, the School of Planning is looking for a new Transportation Planner prof (and I get to be part of the hiring process! (I feel so special! Tho extent of my influence is understandably questionable) Nevertheless, its cool-- I get to be the interviewer instead of the interviewee! WEE! I could tell how nervous one of them was-- all these "important people" like the dean and these quiet profs asking very intimidating questions. It was like my job interviews (but a lot worse, as there's a multitude of scary people, I felt for him. So I put up my hand and discussed how I agree with his points. :S To make the situation more bareable and comfortable. I didn't really do the trick, but I tried.

I've also been scheduling for future Planning course offerings. Planners: If you intend to do specializations, let me know what classes you want, and maybe I can help you guys out to get it all done. Coop students, tho, apparently do not get priority to fulfill specialization requirements. So let me know.

Oh my gawd, something horrible happened to me this morning. Well, first of all, I get a ride from my roommate Jeff to work every morning as he has 8:30 classes everyone (I know, crazy). Anyways, he parks at Lot R, right next to FedHall. For those who know how I am in the morning, not very conscious and moody. So what happened was that because I was tired, I was not very quick to react. I walk towards Burt Matthews Hall Parking Lot, and I entered through the Parking Entrance gates-- you know the infamous bars that go up and down. Me being retarded, didn't realize that the bar was about to go down. The bar goes down just as I walked toward it. The bar hits me right at my stomach and it bounces me back as I fall to the hard new ice that we received. Then Jeff laughs his head off. Haha, well I guess it was kinda funny. My housemates are soo gonna hear about this one :S
