So if you live your life in a three piece suit,
In a cocktail dress, or combat boots
You pick your path and you walk your truth
And the world will come round to you.

Pop the cork, a champagne glass
Raise to the future, drink to the past
Thank the Lord for the friends he cast,
In the play he wrote for you.

Wow....it's been a tad since i've blogged, hasn't it. haha well...onto the grub? Today was exceedingly tiring but also a heck of a lot of fun...haha good friends, good times, bad labs. =)

My day? Sleep at 5am. WHY?! i don't know. *hangs head*
alarm goes off at 8am. ------> no way in hell am i getting up! GAUGH!
8:42am ---> CRAP! I have to tutor at 9am!
9:04 - 10:10am ---> i love java and numerical methods. now if only i had an ounce of knowledge to give my little student....*sigh*
11 - 1pm ---> i love hardware labs.....O_o......
1-2 pm ---> yay for class? and yeah for the fact that 10min into the class, both my friend and i need a drink to stay awake. course, luckily there were pop cans and juice bottles opening ALL throughout the class...haha *sigh* it..it was hilarious. especially when i accidentally thunked my pop can on the metal rack under the desk and it reverberated through the desk (the long tables that 10 people sit at)....*sigh* er...uh....remind me that being less conspicious when you're hiding something is usually a plus.
2-5:15pm ---> hardware. yay hardware. love hardware. *sigh*....Ty was coming out of the lab and was telling me that the TAs were counting up all the 0's they handed out today....er...hmm.....can i pass yet?
5:45pm onwards? Quite an fun-filled evening! I took my buddy Anthony (a friend from IBM) to take a look at a couple of engineering buildings ...haha er...uh.....don't uh...don't mind the engineer dressed in the garbage bag and drinking out of a hard hat in front of a garbage can...he's uh...he's not one of us. *sigh*
then we met up with another friend from IBM and saw "Tears of the Sun"....it wasn't bad! I personally liked it but of course, am not an advocate of genocide in any way, shape, or form. =(
afterwards, given 3 hours of sleep that night and no food but for a couple pieces of gum, I think i was in a position to be hungry. Yo, THEY were hungry..er...not..not i? haha but hey, twas good food and I also met Peter (Anthony's housemate since the whole gang came down to Toronto for the weekend)...! *grin*...hahaa ....excellent.
As always, it's nice to be able to just get away with friends........damn you all for being on work terms and not having to care about a poor student's life! *sigh* ...But, hey, life without good friends (even those that I think will never want to meet me again --- er....it was a pleasure to meet you, peter? ..er...pe-ter? peter??? *hangs head*)...would be no life at all.

and yes, i realize i have no life. must you all rub that in?! ......oh. yeah. yeah you do.

*sigh*

i quit. off to bed i go. =)

Day in the life of talking to a professor before a midterm:
"Nono..there are many variations to the answer. As I said, all of these concepts are subjective. There are many answers to the question....but mine is correct."

"I'm not testing you on memorization. I want you to understand the material rather than have you quote Algorithm 1 from the text. It's on Algorithm 2 btw."

"I wasn't aware your book talked about that."

"Is my midterm hard? Well....has anyone here ever taken one of my midterms?"
*dude raises hand*
"And how was it?"
dude: "no comment."
"No comment? Well....let's just say, bring a box of kleenex. I won't have any of you crying on my shoes. I lose more shoes that way than anything else."

--- *sigh*

My day in a nutshell:

YAY for Second Cup and free Mexican Spiced Chocolate Latte samples! *grin*....i...*hangs head*....*drool*

Was I awake in class afterwards? haha well, yes. Was I a little buzzed on caffeine? *sigh* possibly. AUGGHH!!

And did i go back to second cup after skool? hehe *nervous laugh* uhmm....;) never you mind.

Now...to go study...to some extent because hell week has JUST started.

Well...thanks to meeshem, I just realized that PEY Round Two Job Postings are UP!

....wow....there aren't many jobs but a couple of them do look nice....design engineering in california (*drool*)...or wireless network services dev...(*sigh*).....

i want a job. can i have a job?

and yes, damned PEY kicked us out of their database! but *grin*...we sure showed them how to get around the system, didn't we meesh? er...mee-shem? shem? *hangs head*

--- i should look like i'm studying.

and i quote:

*Cherie slaps her forehead even harder* There goes one brain cell. 99 left...

*Cherie slaps her forehead even harder* There goes two brain cells...97 left.

*Cherie slaps her forehead even harder* There goes three brain cells. 93 left.

*hangs head*

i went to tell my mommy i was going to go take a shower and go to bed because i didn't want to be dead tmrw...*sigh*....

while i was in the washroom, i thought i would weigh myself.

me: YAY! i lost a pound!
mommy: yeah, i don't trust that scale though. i'm 7 pounds more on the scale at work.
me: zah!? i'm....SEVEN pounds more?!
mommy: well, you don't look it so trust this scale.

*slaps forehead*

*laugh* oh WOW....I'm honestly sorry that I haven't checked out Vay's site earlier but haha guess what! She was an extra in the "Losing Grip" music video for Avril Lavigne! Pictures are posted here!!!

*hangs head*

--- onto week III....and still walking the line.

the world is my cheese shop.

--- a trojan rabbit.

well...by my count, i just had a half hour ranting session to loquax. haha HOW she puts up with me...i don't know.

in fact...how do ANY of you put up with me...i have NO bloody idea but you know, somewhere down the line, i must have just gotten THAT lucky =)

and no...i don't even really believe in 'luck' or whatnot...so I guess i should change what i said to acknowledging fully that God just gave me gifts...NOT talents! haha but ...gifts. i.e. good friends. amazingly enough, there are always people that care about me...(haha what's with you people?!)...and good friends to joke around with (hmm...er...why are they in the corner crying?)... =) but hey -- i'm glad to be able to set off a rant and have people there even though i just know i haven't always been there for everyone. *sigh*

You know, being human stinks. Can i be cool like the rest of you? Please?

--- master of none.
