No Internet But Enjoying It

Two days after my last post our internet provider disconnected us due to a billing issue, and since our landlord deals with the bill we can't do anything about it, and we still don't have internet. I am being classy, and using McDonald's internet as we speak. I am enjoying no internet but it drives me crazy at the same time.
Might I also add I feel very insulted by my old workplace McDonald's because they slipped me a piece of paper saying hiring full time for September. First of a ll I have a job already, and second of all I am going back to school in September, actually in August. I found it very rude, but apparently they miss me, I don't know why though I sucked at the job.
I am still diligently reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. What a horrible time to lose internet I might add I wanted to try, and get into Pottermore early. ;_;
I went to go get my tattoo done on Tuesday, and my artist went on vacation that day, and never called me. I thankfully got the appointment rescheduled a week from then. It was very upsetting, and I was really excited. I have had this appointment booked since my birthday.
I've mostly been cleaning, and such on my days off.
I have fallen back into gaming, and I am currently laying Paper Mario. I forgot how much I loved that game!
I also have gotten all my mail from the school about the school year, and I am very excited to start at the end of the month. I am also looking forward to my trip home later in the month.

Unbelievable Week, Not in the Good Way

I finally finished The Half-Blood Prince. I am very excited to read the Deathly Hallows. I am actually going to go see The Deathly Hallows Part II again with a friend, non-3D this time thankfully. ♥ I am quite enthralled by the Potter Puppet Pals, and hope to eventually watch A Very Potter Musical.
It has been an awful, and horrible week. Work was my biggest problem. I had gone to work, and I misheard what my boss wanted me to do but I did it later. Then later on during the day I did not fully do my job, and my boss sent me home. This of course clearly upset me, and this is the second time my boss has made me cry. I am not going to lie, yes I made a huge mistake, and I did not fully do my job, but sending me home really never teaches me anything. Rather be understaffed; an unlikely story because I know what it is like to work in an understaffed workplace, and believe me it was busy. I didn't say anything because I am still on probation. We have been nice to each other in the last few days but I must say I feel rather discriminated against as the youngest, and usually only other female on the floor as it is a men's clothing store... I have never been sent home when working at McDonald's if I made a mistake, and we are dealing with customer's food here, they always helped me fix it. I don't mind getting sent home early when it is dead, or if we are overstaffed.
It is pretty bad when I want to go back home, and work at the McDonald's there again. As much as I didn't get along with my boss there I could at least tolerate, and retort against his jokes with some back up. I have never been one to understand or be able to give the air of sarcasm or jokes, and because of said problem my feelings are easily hurt.
Each day getting out of bed has gotten excruciatingly worse... I just do not want to face the day, or work seeing as nothing is going quite right. Sleep isn't coming to easily either.
I miss all my friends home. :( I just want to be home so badly it isn't funny. I can't though.

Days Off~

I have three consecutive days off in a row... I am back to work tomorrow. Would have been nice to have these days off the weekend I went home. I did run into my boss, his boss, and his boss's boss at the mall, and I found it quite amusing.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 was amazing in my mind, that will be probably until I read the book. I still feel bad because I have to read the last two books. I want to re-read the entire series, and purchase the adult books. I think it would be great to re-read the series. I did purchase the two books I didn't read; The Half-Blood Prince, and the The Deathly Hallows. I read three chapters of the Half-Blood Prince, and I am not really impressed with the movie. I have always chosen books over movies because they are more descriptive, and allow for imagination.
I have been working on art here, and there but nothing really major.
I have mostly been gaming though. I do own my own Wii now but I can't get the channels from my SD card to work, and I am not paying for them again. It is quite frustrating, and apparently I forgot the data for how far I am in Trauma Center: New Blood, and it was difficult to get up to that point so I have to try, and get that while I am home. I have been playing random games, here, and there, not really sticking to any one game.
I finally went, and got my necklace from Purolator. I have the worst luck with them because they always come when I am at work. I love the necklace I got from Sanrio but I have never owned a wrap necklace before so I might buy a new chain, and modify it but taking the charms off, and adding it to the new chain.
I got to stop buy the asian grocery store again. ♥ I got some Chicken buns, and Pearl Milk Tea in a can. I have been looking for Pearl Milk Tea everywhere. You can get it in a mall downtown but I wouldn't call it real Pearl Milk Tea. I wish I could go to Halifax. ; 3;
I also bought groceries, and it's a proven fact that if there is someone with me I will purchase actual groceries. I also stopped by Value Village with a roommate, and now I have some blazers for work. We all went to Dairy Queen one night, and it was a lot of fun.
Tattoo in less than two weeks. :o I am excited, and scared all at the same time. It is going to be awesome. ♥♥♥ School in a month, and a week. So many exciting things coming up.

A Week Busy In a Sense

This week has been busy in a sense.
After getting sick Monday, and not going to work on Tuesday to recuperate, my throat bothered me Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. It's just a cold, but did it ever hot hard. I was trying Halls Fruit Breezer's for my throat, and they didn't work, so I got Fisherman's Friends Original Extra Strong, and they did something for me, but tasted disgusting. Also the manager at work made a nice Cure too.
I spent most the week playing World of Warcraft. Woot! Working, and doing art, and sleeping. I shall post on my Warcraft blog, I have exciting news, well for me. I really hope to start working in watercolours soon. I am going to teach myself.
I went out for Karaoke last night, and it was quite difficult since I was loosing my voice. I didn't stay out for long either because I was tired.
I went to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part One, and it was amazing, and they unfortunately left us at a cliff hanger. I really miss the series, and I still have to read The Half Blood Prince, and the Deathly Hallows.
I still haven't gotten an email back from Mount Allison about the financing problem...
There really isn't much else going on in my life. I hang out with my friends occasionally when I get the chance. We were going to go to the Santa Claus parade because we had a way up, and not back.
Going to decorate the tree soon, we have a half-sized one which I always adored in terms of size. Dad put it up to shape it since it is in a box for eleven months of the year.

Another Crazy Week Done

I like having time to myself. Apparently work doesn't care though.
So this week I spent time with a friend again, and we went to the city. I bought one of those huge cans of popcorn with three different flavours because I have never had one before, and I wanted the tin. Hello Kitty for the win. So we adventured in the city. It's been a long time since I have been hyper, and I was very hyper the other night. We had a good laugh at Wal-Mart. Went to the Christmas Craft sale at the hospital. Also visited someone in the hospital. Went out again today, and got a calendar for next year, I am going to miss my Hello Kitty calendar, but now I have an Alice in Wonderland one.
I stayed the night and we watched Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. It was awesome! Snape killed Dumbledore. D: So I now have to read that book, and the Deathly Hallows as well. Love that series.
Went back to church this morning, and I honestly miss being there. I am going back to choir tomorrow night too hopefully.

I Have a Little Bit of a Life at the Moment

Currently Reading: Sense & Sensibility by: Jane Austen
Last Movie Watched: Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle
Last Television Show Watched: The Cake Boss
Current Video Game: World of Warcraft

Working full-time does not mean I have a set schedule, it just means I work 3-5 at least 8 hour shifts if not more with smaller shifts. It leaves me time to sleep, and not do much else. But I got to do stuff this weekend.
I had a girl's night with my friend, and her mom. We watched the Prince, and Me 1, and 2. They should have used the same actors for the second one, the first one was better. We also watched Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle which is full of fake stunts.
They have a chinchilla, and I am in love with them now. I really like them, they aren't as annoying as guinea pigs.
Did some art. Watched Cake Boss, his cakes are amazing! Also watched Gimme Sugar Miami, which was interesting.
I have to read Half Blood Prince, and the Deathly Hallows from the Harry Potter series. I rather read the books, and then watch the movies. I read/watched Order of the Phoenix last because I remember crying when they killed Sirius.
I am so happy I have time to read, and what not. Also play WoW. One of my friend's wants me at Level 80.
This week I plan on visiting my high school to see the art teacher, getting my contacts on Friday because that is the only day the optometrist is open, and going to Midnight Madness Friday night. Might go have hot chocolate some night.
I am working on thinking out costumes for next year. I really want to do Kobato Hanato, from Kobato, but she has so many outfit choices.
