Into Semester Two.

I haven't posted here in such a long time! Well okay..not really aha but like a whole month I think. Well to sum things up where I left off, winter break is long over, heck I've already had final exams! The rest of winter break flashed past, as it often does when you don't want so meting good to end, and I found myself walking back into school. I never get over my aversion to school!I just do not like it...it is a cramped place, with me trying to impress every person that heads my way. AH I wish I was home schooled.. well semester one is over, and I've done 2 days of semester two. It sucks. I don't know what happened.. perhaps I just have to wait to get use to it that's what I'm thinking. So far I feel uncomfortable, self-conscious, and completely nervous and on edge ready to jump up and throw a couple of chairs at the wall..okay well maybe not that much.. but you get the idea :( I have science, art, legal and design communication.
Art - It's art, when I walk into the classroom I want things on the wall even the desks and teacher to scream inspiration in my face. No. Sadly it's a bleak room with scratched up desks, and it reminds me of a lab..well it's not inspiring at all, the room practically spells b-o-r-i-n-g and the teacher? The only inspiration shes giving me, is the impression of a bird. She looks like one, she acts like one and she talks like one. Not to be disrespectful but she's already a grumpy old grouch and it's only the second day in! She's mean to everyone but her favorite student. I'm so fed up..it is so annoying. We're expected to draw a sketch every single day..good god.
Legal- This class isn't so bad, for one I have two of my friends in it. Friends just make life easier to live through. I'm excited to get into this course it looks simple, refreshing, new and interesting. The only bad side to this class, is that we don't have a permanent classroom fixated for us.. the first class we had was in a computer lab.. and today's class was in the fashion's room..what next? The kitchen?
Design Communication - I hate this more then I hate art. For some reason my eyes get itchy just looking at the screen. We have to put things together I have never done before, and to be honest I probably ask more questions then the whole class combined. It's so confusing, and complicated and your going to get a kick out of this. This class is for beginners.
Science - You know what, I have no problem with science, it's one of my better subjects and I'm so eager to get into the lessons. My teacher is actually pretty cool, he has a funny sense of humour and he throws a cookie your way, if you get a question right. Well it's all too good to be true, you see my fellow peers are the problem in this case, they are so.. irritating. The teacher says something funny, they have to shut it down. And to be honest I'm not talking about the entire class, I'm actually venting on three girls who sit right behind me. And since there that close, there whispering never fails to reach my ears.

Well this is a rough start, but I know it's going to turn for the best (knock on wood!) I've got until summer to get a hang of the computer, to adjust to my art classroom, figure out what to do with the barbie drones behind me in science and pray that my legal teacher finds a permanent classroom for us soon.

Not the most exciting winter break

It's already been more then a week since winter break started, and I haven't done anything productive it feels like I've wasted a lot of precious time..oh well! I still have a week to go, I'm planning on studying for my finals but I haven't got the mind set to go and study hardcore, 3 weeks before finals start :(
Well after West Edmonton Mall nothing worth blogging about has happened, I'm half way through Inkdeath the third book in the Inkheart trilogy. I've also been playing around on my PSP with the new game I got for Christmas 'Secret Agent Clank' it's super fun..especially when you need to get away from a work load.
I probably won't blog unless it's something important and since New Year's is coming I'll be busy too.

The Biggest Indoor Show on Earth.

I went to West Edmonton Mall today! The biggest indoor show on earth.....it's so amazing, everytime I go, it's so mindblowing to me, I love that huge pirate ship they have, I've always wanted to get a picture with it in the background..but I never remember to take a camera! Well I did do a lot of shopping, meaning I looked, and ended up getting a really nice green hoodie, with jeans, and I do love the sweater it's so warm..
I was with my boy friend so we were waiting by the ice rink for my sister, because she had to use the bathroom and we were standing by the ice rink so naturally I felt cold, and he noticed and wrapped his arms around me, of course..this is just natural but still aha I'm not one for public shows of affection, but he doesn't seem to mind, and he's 6'4 and I'm only 5'3 a whole foot apart aha we must have been the sight walking together :) needless to say..many girls stare, his height, combined with his looks, and innocent smile, who wouldn't, he's even a model.. but when they stare it's so..awkward aha, and he doesn't even notice! It's nice to just walk with him and hear him talk, he lives fairly far from me but constantly comes down to visit, and just listening to him talk and occasionally brushing my shoulder it's the best feeling in the world isn't it? To have someone like you just as much as you like them, it's great. Sometimes I wonder if it's love, it sure feels like it

First Day Of Winter Break - West Edmonton Mall

Winter Break Has Finally Begun

It's finally winter break! School is over, and I'm out free! I've got so many things to do, and now I've got two weeks worth time, but I haven't watch 'Home Alone' yet, it's like the ultimate Christmas movie for me, oh well I just hope it comes on tv soon ^_^

Exams and Presentations.

I've begun to read the second book in the Inkheart trilogy, it's not as interesting but I know it gets better so I'm trying to pull through. On the other hand should I even be reading when I have a huge math exam tomorrow? Probably not..but I did the review and it's pretty easy, I'm not messing up so hopefully that passes onto tomorrow :) I've also got a english presentation tomorrow too damn, but I had a huge laugh today watching my classmates present there all so hilarious! I hope they don't fall asleep watching mine >.<
For Christmas, I mentioned I wanted an iTouch from my parents in a earlier blog, they surpassed that, and have already planned to get me a iPhone instead! There so amazing :)
Well, I've got more practicing and reviewing to do, so I'm off to do that (reluctantly)

Inkheart by Cornelia Funke

I'm finally finally finally finished Inkheart, it's so good it's actually beyond good its brilliant! When I'm reading it, it's like a totally new world, and your probably thinking 'well duh Rui..books do tend to do that' but Inkheart is just whoa aha its excellent, and now I've got the next two books in the series and then its done! I hate it when books end..it's pretty depressing..well I'm on a reading addiction right now, so if I don't post anything for a day or two you know why ;) If I read any particularly good book, I'll make sure to talk about it in one of my upcoming blogs, in case anyone wants to give them a try. I've got a huge list of books I want to read :)
By the way I only have three more days of classes! Three more and I'm finally off for two weeks! Finally! It's been going on and on forever! It's mostly just a laid back envoirment in classes now, but after we come back it's going to be continuous reviewing every night, and so forth, so I'm enjoying this while it lasts.

Romeo and Juliet

One more week until Christmas break! Then I get my first big break from school, finally! By the way, I haven't seen Twilight yet :( and I really want to see it in theatres..
Oh by the way, in my English class, were doing scenes from Romeo and Juliet, and I've been handed the role of Mercutio..and Romeo. Yes I'm very worried. I am a girl, and no I have no kissing or romantic scenes, I actually have a fighting scene..so I'm not that nervous, it's going to be fun, acting is one thing I don't mind doing.. so I hope I do a good enough job!

I'm The Sore Thumb

I've been constantly badgered all day long, about this dance at my school, were suppose to dress up real fancy for the day and then go to the dance after school, it's optional but everyone comes dressed up, everyone! So if I show up..not dressed up all fancy then I'm the sore thumb. It's a popular topic and the first question I've been asked by everyone is: Hey, you going to the dance? I've replied by going no, I'm not so good in dresses, count heels out as well..this makes them laugh and I get off Scott free, but then there's the more picky ones who have to know why I'm not dressing up, and why I won't go to the dance and etc, and I've still got to go through tomorrow as well, it gets annoying after a while..
Other then that..the snow is a constant headache, I hate it on the ground, I'm always slipping around and grabbing whoever is closest for support, which in some cases is really embarrassing, it's super icy. And the wind. .don't even get me started :(
I've also got no homework at all today! But then..the hours just seem to drag on, so it's good to have no homework sometimes..but it's better to have at least something to review! Or is that just me? aha :)

Dear Santa, a iTouch For Christmas Please?

I happen to love the iTouch. I didn't care much about it before, but it's so amazing! So it's on the top of my Christmas list and I'm hoping I'll get it! Don't get me wrong, I am in no way a spoiled brat, I earn what I get :)
I've basically been day-dreaming about the iTouch all day aha, so there was really no room for anything interesting to happen. There was a coyote outside the building I was in! People were running to the windows and staring at it, I didn't really find it that amazing.. aha so I just continued on with my work and let my peers gaze on..
I've been thinking about a career path for quite a while now, and I couldn't decide, there's so many job options! and a lot of paths I can take, but I've decided to be a Optometrist, in other words a eye Doctor to put it in simple terms. I think it's fairly interesting, and it's not over the top crazy but it'll do. I don't even sound excited hey, well I'm not, I guess I can't really say this is a permanent choice, it's just a temporary decision, but if nothing else comes my way..a optometrist I shall be.

I Love Bob .

Today marks the day, that I've been dating my boyfriend for two months. We've only dated for a short while, but known each other forever! He's seriously just way out of my league! It's not possible for it to get better then this, even though I completely forgot..that it was our anniversary. Our phone conversation this morning was a absolute shame aha I'll change his name to Bob :)
Bob: Hey, Rui
Rui: Bob! What gives? You hardly call this early!
Bob: .. no reason! Wait what's the date today?
Rui: I'm not sure why?
Bob: Just wondering Rui
And then the conversation went on, I was completely clueless, I didn't even realize until my friend pointed it out to me, and then it all made sense. Luckily he called again, so I practically shouted 'happy second month anniversary!!' into his ear. He was surprised that I even remembered! (honestly I'm not that dense..)
