I don't know if it was my workout tonight or the large glass of red wine that I just drank, but right now I'm feeling incredibly relaxed and exhausted and like my body is so heavy. I just want to lie on my bed and read my Vogue Paris (yes, my dad bought me French Vogue along with regular Vogue for Xmas!).
I just want to make it known that I hate Ugg boots. They are so freaking ugly and frumpy looking! Okay, maybe not all Ugg styles are bad, but those kind that are just a giant tube of boot are so unflattering! (For clarification:
these are what I mean.) Girls, get rid of those ugg-ly boots and buy something trendier and a little more fitted to the leg/foot area - how are these boots in fashion!?
Okay. Next rant. I'm fed up with winter! This morning I left at my usual time to catch the bus, but the whole way up Ave des Pins there were stupid snowplough trucks pushing snow around and hauling it into giant snow dumpster trucks (these said snow dumpster trucks are a brand new sight for my wussy-winter eyes!) and my bus got stuck behind them and merging into one lane of traffic... anyway, my usual 20 min bus ride turned into 45 mins, making me late for work. LAME.
(This post is turning rather hostile. More wine anyone?)

Okay. Living at home is driving me insane. INSANE. I'm about ready to yell. These next two weeks cannot go fast enough.
Maresa, when will you be home for dinner? Oh, we'll wait for you, so we can eat together.
OH Maresa, where are you going? But won't you be home for DINNER?
Maresa, will you call your grandma and thank her for your birthday card? No, NOW, Maresa, here's the phone. Would you like me to dial the number for you?
Okay, hello! I cannot live my own life here. I feel like I have no space, I have no freedom, I'm confined to my room for privacy, I can't do anything without everyone knowing. GET ME OUT!

Confessions
It is such a novelty to be using the Internet on my desktop computer. The wireless has mega issues and for the past couple weeks my desktop hasn't been able to pick up a wireless signal and therefore I've been using my laptop. My laptop is one of those tiny ones with a 15" screen, so now it seems like I've got a monster screen with so much screen real estate!!
So I think I've decided that I'm pretty much over going to clubs. Last night really solidified it for me. We went out for a friend's birthday, had dinner and a few drinks at a lounge/bar and then went out to the club. I was so very much not feeling it at all - I didn't want to dance or drink (I was pretty much completely sober) and it was so crowded and stuffy and the music sucked and the people were lame and I couldn't sit down alone for 5 seconds before some greasy guy would come and hit on me. Gross.
I'm not writing off clubs altogether. I mean, I have fun when I'm there with my girls and if I'm not concerned about getting home and I can let lose and drink. That can be fun. Once in a while I'm up for that. But on a random night when I'm not drunk and not feeling it, it is not fun. I can think of a lot of other fun things that I'd rather be doing. I'm just not a giant party girl. I've tried to fit that bill and it just doesn't work.
Anyway, because of last night, today was pretty much a write off day. I woke up and was completely surprised to see that it was already 12:30! I haven't slept in that late in YEARS. Feels like half your day is gone. So basically all I have done today was go out to grab a coffee, do laundry, and lounge around!
Tomorrow is the first day of autumn. I am seriously
shocked that September is almost over.

university hates me
I think that the university has something against me. Seriously. I have been trying to graduate for months, but they just won't let me!! Originally it was my plan to finish my classes in the summer, and then I could graduate. Oh, but wait, one of three classes I needed (a 400-level Psyc class) was not offered AT ALL in the summer. None. Zero. Zilch. Okay, fine, I took electives instead, which I still needed.
Now, I'm going back to school in September to finish. I still need to work, so I scheduled my 400-level Psyc around my work schedule. I received an email today that said that course has been canceled! What. the. hell!!!! There are only two other classes that aren't right smack in the middle of the day - one of which I'm uninterested in, the other which is Mon, Wed, Thurs from 3:30-4:20, which cuts my workday even shorter and now all the electives I'm on the waitlist for don't work!!!! WHY WHY WHY?!?
This is so ridiculously unnecessary! Don't other students have to work?? So frustrating!!

poo
I am frustrated!!! I registered a domain the other day, and got some hosting for it at a different site, and I can't seem to make the two work together to access my site! How irritating! I have tried infinite combinations of user names and passwords and ftp server names and blah blah and nothing is working! >:(
I have a couple ideas for the new site though... working on some layout ideas - nothing fancy, but just doing a few things I've never done before. I'm giving up on getting anything to work tonight though. I'm about ready to put the computer away and curl up with my book before I go to bed - less brain power!!
This was a pointless post. Yay for Friday tomorrow.

Grrrr!
This is the right way to start your long weekend: After leaving work for the day at 5:00, relieved you survived the week, you will walk to your parked car and find that it has been hit in a hit and run. Yes, this is what happened to me this afternoon - some retard creamed the side of my car with his wheel, completely ripping half the front bumper off, as he was turning into the driveway of my work building. When I got out there at 5:00, the bumper was completely scratched and half of it was lying on the pavement. And there is NO WAY that guy didn't realise he hit me. Thanks buddy, you made my day.
The only semi-nice thing is that a good Samaritan man was walking by as I arrived at the scene and tried to reattach it for me so that I could drive... which didn't work. He ended up rigging up a bungee cord he had in his truck so that the bumper was raised up off the pavement so I could drive it home. My poor car. :( I have an appointment with ICBC on Wednesday morning for them to assess the damage etc, but I'm really not feeling like spending $$$ on a new bumper right now!! Grrr!
