Change of scenery...

Argh... I'm using my dad's computer again, so that means typing is way slow on webpages. -_-
:: idea ::
I'll type what I want in Notepad, then paste it over here. lol good plan! ^_^
I found a new place to study, my old room. There's hardly anything in there, so it's perfect for concentrating. No, tv, no computer, not even a stereo system... No distrcations. Also, most importantly, it has a window. Living in the basement has created such a depressing environment. It's quite amazing how natural light can brighten up a person's day. ^_^
This is my last day holiday off from school. And because of the way I handled things, this will probably be my busiest day of homework. lol
I watched the End of Evangelion again last night. I have to admit, Evangelion is one of those series that just keep getting better everytime I watch it. After watching such a variety of anime, I can really appreciate the amazing animation in EoE. And the most important part is that because it's Evangelion I understand a bit more everytime. It's not an anime you can pick up the first time, but even after watching it half a dozen times, things are only still becoming clear. 0_0
Oh ya, I forgot to mention in my last Journal entry... I got my driver's licence! This means one thing, my little brother has a new designated chauffeur. lol

Time to take charge...
2004-03-20 10:02:40
First I'd like to say congrats to Omni! Can't keep a good editor down. I guess we all need the right inspiration. ^_^
As for me, no more staying up late! In a strange way, I always liked showing off that I went to sleep at 2:00am everynight, but consequently I was never my usual morning self anymore. I suppose one can't be a nightowl and a morning person at the same time. lol So last night I was in bed by 11:45pm. This meant I could wake up by 8:00am with about 8 hours of sleep! No more 4-6 hour nights for me. ~_^
My site right now is up, and running smoothly. With help, I was able to get multiple frames working. Then I filled in information for each of my paintings. As a whole, I say the basic layout is almost complete. I just don't have nearly enough graphics or anything of the sort to help with the overall appearance.
Yesterday I went to Waterloo to check out Laurier University. It was about an hour 45 minute drive, but it was a nice trip for just my friend and I. Unfortunately, the campus wasn't that amazing. In my opinion, once you've seen one campus, you've seen them all. I kinda wish I was just thrown into a random university, since I'm just going to adapt to which ever one I go in anyways.
Math, Journal Report, Computer Project... Hmmm... I'll have to focus on this stuff for a bit. I promised myself I wouldn't touch my GC or GBA SP for the rest of the March Break so I could work on it. Ya, ya... Only two days, but it's a start.

::worry::

Yawn...
I'm exhausted just thinking about it. I have my driver's test today. 0_0
I am reeeaaalllly worried about it. I'm not as confident as people keep assuring me, and it it bother me even more when people say it will all be ok. Because what if I don't pass? Argh... I'd have failed so many people. -_-
Once that's over with, I'll have to worry about my math marks. I had planned to actualyl spend a lot of time this March Break on studying Discrete math, but everyday I've had something. Stupid March Break! You're supposed to give me time off, not more work than usual.
Not to mention my neck is killing me. Must have been that crunch I received on the ice on Tuesday. Hit by two guys at the same on a break down ice. Too bad I didn't even get the shot off. The only thing I got was my helmet pushed up and my face being squished.

Why I don't talk about my problems...
2004-03-15 21:04:50
I guess on a selfish point of view, it's because I don't hear what I want to hear.
I suppose all I really want is for someone to listen to me, and not necessarily give their opinions on the matter. Especially when the whole "help" thing becomes an attack on me.
Something I find people have forgotten to do, is know when to say nothing at all. With the whole "freedom of speech" thing, it's like everyone's eager to have their opinion heard. Whatever happened to being quiet, but always giving a helping hand?
This is one of the reasons why I think people don't have any trouble talking to me. The fear of hearing something negative is pretty much non-existent. I listen. Maybe I'll make a joke to lighten an awkward moment in the conversation or say something assuring of my interest, but I never give my opinion with the impression that I'm right. Even if I know I'm right, you can't force something like that on someone, or they'll simply reject it everytime.
I don't mean to sound conceited, but I usually know what people want to hear, or how they want to be treated. No, this doesn't mean I lie to them in order to give the response they desire, but I'm able to be honest while not "stepping on any toes". How do I know this is true? Well, if people didn't like they way I put things or help them out, I'm sure they wouldn't confiding in me. But they do, so what can I say.
My problem? I don't know anyone like myself. Everyone I talk to either blasts out answers which I'd rather not hear, or always gives me the impression that they are not interested. My brother's even been cold enough to say "Are you done yet?". Maybe I'm being too needy, but every once in awhile I need help to support myself too.

Taking it easy...
2004-03-15 15:54:22
March Break may have been slow so far, but I can't I haven't been enjoying it. This is a welcomed pace. I guess I should enjoy it for as long as I can. Because before the week it up, I need to get some hardcore studying done if I want to improve my marks. People say I shouldn't worry, but come on, let's be realistic here. -_-
There wasn't many new scenes in the Director's Cut of the last three episodes of Evangelion. The only one with big changes was episode 24. It's a shame, because I had gotten my hopes up from hearing about new scenes from an Eva site. It had pics from the Director's Cut of episodes 21, 22, 23 and 24. Oh well, I guess some is better than none.
Today I need to put my portfolio for Humber College. Tomorrow I have an interview and need to present my portfolio. I know, it's not a univeristy, but I decided to apply to come colleges just incase. ^_^
