yay. it's over.

work.

2006.

sickness? maybe.

i'm really hoping it was a 24-hour bug thing. i'm feeling not that bad right now. i didn't puke again after i went to bed (i felt sicky, but it wasn't so bad). i managed to get a few hours sleep in. i felt pretty sick for the first half of my shift, but by the end all i had was a little bit of an upset stomach, which is what i have now. probably due to hunger. i haven't eaten anything today except chewable pepto bismol. yay for that. i started drinking a bottle of coke, but i don't want to overdue it.

i'm listening to anza in les mis. i'm almost crying because she's so good. and these songs!!! ahhh, i'm dying here. i'm almost at the point where i would seriously give an arm or a leg to see her perform live. there are performances going on in april, and i'm so tempted to just forget about going to tuition and stuff… and buy tickets to japan. seriously. x_x

and now i just want to see les miserables live, period. i'm getting very, very interested in this musical. o_o

i'm waiting for my mom to get home. she went to visit my great grandma in lloydminster today. we're supposed to have a special dinner tonight. :( that's right, i'm not going out for new years. gotta stay in. i want to stay in. and i'm so going to enjoy sunday off work. my only day off work next week. fun. -_-

excuse me while i try and find a way to get this les mis CD in my hands. $45 for a japanese CD isn't bad. shipping is another story. >:( stupid japan.

i just puked.

i feel so sick right now it's not even funny. i feel like i could puke a whole lot more, but there's nothing down there right now. it'll be nothing but dry heaving. that's the thing i hate about vomiting the most. the feeling in your gut of it being propelled upward. :( forget the smell and how nasty it is… i just hate the feeling of it.

i had my sickness under control (yay for vitamins and pepto). i have a feeling that the stress i experienced today at work could have something to do with this. i don't want to go into details, but it was the worst day at work to date. no, i didn't get sexually harassed again. i'll just say that having five anxiety attacks in one day certainly takes its toll (both mentally and physically).

i'm in no state to go to work tomorrow, but i'll probably go in anyway. i just hope they don't mind me running to the bathroom every once and a while. and considering it's on the other side of the store, i might not make it. oh well. pukey muffins. no big deal.

i really hope i feel better. i simply do not get the flu. i can count on one hand how many times i've had it, and it couldn't have come at a worse time.

i'm so scared to go to bed, but i have to be up early. it seems like the urge to vomit is stronger when horizontal. i don't know what to do. :(

you know, talking about it isn't helping it either. i should end this and find something else to do.

not that i actually do the driving, but i really hate that trip. the same boring six hour drive multiple times per year really takes its toll. x_x we just got in, and i have a really bad headache. the past couple days i've been fighting the puke from coming up. my sister has a really bad cold, my mom has the flu, and i can feel myself starting to get a bit of both.

but that's not all i got for christmas. all i want to say is… omg… ;_; i opened my secret santa present in front of the whole family and stuff… and they were all like O_O!!! and i was like O_O!!! then we were all like *_*!!! yeah. thank you so much! ;_; one day they will get framed. ;_; my mom really wants to know how you did the big one. O_O and so do i. we are not edumacated in this type of art. @_@

i'm so glad i got what i got. especially since i had a bad dream the other night about doing secret santa with you freaks. in the dream i opened my secret santa present on christmas morning in front of my whole family (grandparents and all), and it was a box of condoms. x_x;;; what an awful, awful dream.

as for the rest of you, now that christmas is over i have pretty much no drive to send out your presents. >D i'll send them out eventually. when i have some free time. i work the 6am shift at work the next two days, so i'll have some free time. i'll probably do it then. hopefully.

i saw the fourth harry potter movie on saturday. maybe it was the awful theatre, but i sort of have mixed feelings about it. o_o it was better than the last one, i'll give it that, but i was expecting a better d駭ouement, to be honest. i was scared that the movie was about to pull a matrix reloaded on me. it almost did. i suppose it should be expected from a series such as this. and am i the only one who was questioning ron's motives throughout the entire first half? i'm sure it was done better in the book, but i had to keep reminding myself that he wasn't just randomly being a jerk and that he was probably acting out of jealousy.

anyway, i have tons of stuff to catch up on. ohh, not as much as i thought. ten emails and 100 lj entries! not bad at all.

i should unpack stuff…

this is the last automated post that i've written on christmas eve. >_> i hope you're happy, hammy.

not really anything to say. december 27th. o_o it's the day we go back. i told my mom i didn't want to be back late, and i'm hoping we'll get back in the early evening. i'll probably have tons of internet stuff to catch up on. then i have to go to bed early since i have work at 6am! :( for two days straight. crazy early shifts. but we don't have much choice… one of our main full timers decided that now would be a good time to use up her vacation time. -_- at least she didn't go the week before christmas. X_X we won't be in the clear until after new years (in terms of the busy season, and stuff).

ah, new years. i wonder what i'll be doing for that. maybe i'll dye my hair again. that seems to be a fun new years tradition for me. o_o hmm, anyone want to go to first night festival with me? they still have that in edmonton, right? o_o

happy boxing day. >D

crazy boxing day. i'll be nowhere near a mall this year. and that's a good thing. :D

church. i hope nothing bad happened yesterday. more on that later. maybe. hopefully not. i hope it was uneventful. the last thing i want is to run into old friends who have become new enemies. :(

especially since i'm probably going over to the house of a relative of one of these enemies. fun, eh? :D they've invited us for a boxing day dinner. :D

stupid small town. stupidstupidstupid. glad i moved away. x_x i could never move back here. nope. not ever.

i hope my cat back home hasn't died yet. O_O we left her tons of food and lots of water, but she's probably craving human attention like crazy. she's going to be so pissed off at us when we come home. i wouldn't be surprised to find everything clawed to pieces. :( poor kitty.

this is one of those automated messages. >D funfun.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! i hope everyone is having a good one. me? i'm just glad to be spending it with family, really. plus my grandma's food. mmmm. yum.

even though i'm writing this on christmas eve, i know for a fact that i'm probably thinking about how i'm going to survive going to church with my grandparents today. stupid small town. there are people i want to avoid. badly. but there are some people i want to see. :( still… i tend to be quite avoidant. and that's probably what i'll be doing.

even though i'm writing this on christmas eve, i'm sure i got lots of fun stuff. if you look back in my archives, i speak very little about what i get for christmas. one of my biggest blogging pet peeves is when people post their "loot" or whatever. -_- that annoys me so much, and makes me want to slap the person posting it.

even though i'm writing this on christmas eve, i'm sure i'll be having yet another brown christmas. it's brown in edmonton, so it's definitely brown down here. except edmonton has trees (evergreen ones, to boot). here? yeah… gotta love the treelessness of the barren open prairie. :(

sorry i didn't send anything out yet. :( my work schedule is kind of crazy for the rest of the week after i get back, so i might not get anything off till the new year. so sucky. poor secret santa person. ;_; i'll fedex it to you, or something. ;_; eventually. ;_;

even though i'm writing this on christmas eve, i'm sure i'm thinking about how badly my inbox needs clearing and how far back into my LJ friends page archives i'll need to go to catch up on everything. :(

this post has way too many :( and ;_; and -_- emoticons. it's christmas. :D i must balance those out.

:D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :)

there.

i'm leaving for work now, and i'll be going to my grandparents' house for christmas with my mom and sister immediately after. we'll be back on tuesday.

to entertain you, i've posted messages which will appear in the future. i love how wordpress does that. b2 does it too. :D

i'm only doing it for hammy. she probably won't be able to survive if i don't.

so… yeah. i hope happyville is still around till then. hammy… you owe me.

i stayed up late to redownload a bunch of my favourite AMVs (and i downloaded some new ones as well). why? because i felt like it. almost 20% worth of power leveling on MS will make you want to do that.

anyway… lbeth! i simply must share one with you if you haven't seen it already. this kodocha AMV is soooo great!!! i laughed so hard at the random hayama bird, and it's not even supposed to be that funny. x_x sana on DDR though… i mean, wow. suits her. >D

oh, and this isn't related to AMVs, but it's pretty disturbing. chinese sailor moon children badly cosplaying and dancing. oh, yes. that's right. hammy hates their shoes (so do i), but neo seems to love it. i knew he would. :)

i just checked my grades. they're all in.

education: pass. yay. (you don't get grades in that class.)

english: in progress. no grade. stupid full year courses. :(

bio: B. yay!! i worked so hard for that B. ;_; and after bombing the lab final, i'm so glad it didn't bring my mark down too much. for the record: i got the second highest mark in the class for the midterm. for the lecture final… er… the class average was 56%. harsh, eh? i got the 5th highest mark on the exam. which doesn't say much, even though one keener got 91%. one person got 31%. x_x;;; they failed the course (the only one to fail). poor them. :( you can tell by ID number which ones are the new intake students from either this semester or last semester… and so many of those people got Cs and Ds. x_x stupid young people. <_< as for the course grades, it's all over the place, and i'm not exactly among the highest. i guess i can say i got the fifth highest grade in the course. here's a breakdown of the grades. 0 A+, 1 A, 2 A-, 1 B+, 2 B, 2 B-, 2 C+, 2 C, 2 C-, 4 D+, 5 D, 1 F. :( why am i going into such detail? just so i have it written down somewhere for myself. :) plus… i really want to express how hard that course was. and this shows it perfectly. even though the class was freakishly small, 42% of the class won't get transfer credit for this course (gotta get above C-). this same instructor taught the same course this semester at another time, and i also have access to those grades. it's a huge class. like… 50-something people. looks like the exact same thing happened, but worse. six people failed. the class average on the final in their class was 53%. one person got an A+ though. *gasps*

philosophy: B. yay! >_> i didn't even do the last assignment. >D maybe i would have got B+ had i done it. oh well… who cares. apparently i don't strive for excellence. >_> i did study quite a bit for the final, though. i like his format for exams, too, so that helps.

okay, bedtime. :( maybe i can get up early and wrap presents. yay. i'm so looking forward to that. -_-

quiz time.

(more…)

i forgot to blog this!! about a week ago (friday, i believe) there was a big cylindrical package in our mailbox. which is weird… i don't know how it stayed in there without falling back into the room back there. anyway… it says who it's from right on the package… even though i think it's from my secret santa. ;) either way, i put it next to the christmas tree. :D i have the most presents under the tree. >_> by far. >D and apparently my mom bought me more tonight. woot. *_* my poor sister has hardly any. i have stuff for her, so i should wrap those and put them under.

but, you know, i have to still send everyone their stuff. including my secret santa person. oh, how i procrastinate! it would have been better if my internet was still off. >_>

i did some more shopping tonight. west edmonton mall wasn't as bad as i thought it'd be. o_O maybe because it's a wednesday night? i'll bet it'll be insane on friday.

ohh, the very end of the finale of martha stewart's apprentice. gotta finish watching it now.
