Holy moly, havn't written in a long time! I'm just home in Minnedosa right now. I flew in on Monday. It was my first time flying and I loved it! There wern't many people on my flight, but I was sitting next to this bitchy old lady. Angie came with me to the airport in Vancouver and AJ met me in Winnipeg. Then we went to our Grandma's and Dad came and met us there for supper. Then we drove in to Dosa and I hung out with Joanne.
On Tuesday I went to Brandon with Joanne for her dentist appointment and when we got back to town we went for a walk around mainstreet and I stopped into Co-op to say "Hi" to my old co -workers. That night I went to Michelle's and we had a couple beer then Adie came over and we watched Sex and the City DVD's. After Adie left we met Allister at the park and played there for awhile. I have never been to the look out tower so we decided to go there, then we played pool at Allister's.
Yesterday I had a picnic at the beach with Michelle and Adie, then went back to Michelle's to watch more Sex and the City. That night I went to Brandon with Mary to see a play that Hannah was in for her Theater Art's Class. It was alright, but we had to watch the same play twice. After we went for ice cream then went to Mary's to watch So You Think You Can Dance and make Mary's grad presents.
Today I went to the beach with Tanya, Magen and Averyl and got burnt really bad, but it will be gone before grad. Then I had people over for a bbq so we just hung out and remenised for a long time.
I probably wont be writting much while I'm home because I want to be out enjoying this beautiful weather and seeing people. I'll try to make it back to the computer on Wednesday to write about grad, then I'm off to Countryfest!
Hope you're all enjoying summer!

Wow, I havn't written in a while since I've been busy, working up a storm.
On Friday I worked, I think it was pretty shitty because it was busy and people were messy. Saturday was probably the same. On Sunday I worked at The Tempelton and it was really busy, but not overwhelming. That's good cause I made lots of money. After work I went to Angie's and I ate a delicious piece of Bumbleberry pie I got from Caper's. Then we watched this ninja movie, but I slept through most of it cause it was boring.
On Monday I worked at 1:30 and it was a pretty good day. We got out early and I made a big sale. I helped these guys from Jordan, and one of them couldn't speak English. They were in to buy jeans for their wives and daughter but didn't know what size they wore. I was with them for like 20 minutes and they were so rude, but they ended up buying $200 in jeans.
Yesterday I worked at 12:30 and it was a shitty day, Tuesday's always are. Boring, untalkative people work on the floor with me, so they're no fun. Also, the store was busy, but all our sales sucked. A new girl started, she's German/Russian, but grew up in Ukraine so she has a really strong accent. She seems alright, but seems like she'll stay kind of shy. After work I went to HMV and they have a whole floor of movies. It's insane. I bought $60 in movies, because there was so many good movies on 2 for $20. When I got home I watched one of my new movies, Breakfast at Tiffany's. If you've never seen it, you really should. It's so good, that's why it's a classic.
Today I'm going to go put my pay cheque in the bank and buy something for breakfast for the rest of the week. Since I'm going to be gone I don't want to buy much food, so I stocked up on instant noodles and soup. I think I'll buy eggos, that way I can finish up my syrup so no one eats it while I'm gone. I think the new guy has been using my condoments, so I put up a sign saying not to eat my food. I worked 1:30-10, so it's going to be a long day, and I work the same tomorrow. Then I have Friday off, and work Saturday and Sunday. Then I'm home on Monday! I'm so excited and can't wait to see everyone!

I never write this late, because I usually go to bed around 9, but I sat in front of the computer all day so I'm not tired.
Yesterday I went to a Broadway Jazz dance class and it was definitely worth my $17. The class was an hour and a half and for the first 45 mins, or so, we warmed up. The warm up involved like a billion sit-up and other hardcore work out moves. I'm still sore from it. It's good cause I'll be able to keep going to this class because I have school Wednesday's 'til 1pm, so I wont work that day.
The reason I was on the computer all day today was because, after talking to a rep. from my school, I realized that I need to get my shit together and learn what's going on in fashion. I started to peruse through a blog a read about, in the fashion section of the free, weekly newspaper. This lead me to more blogs, which lead me to www.vancouverista.blogspot.com. This site is by a girl who lives pretty close to me, and is a bunch of pictures of her and her friends outfits, and bits about fashion weeks and all that good stuff. Then I started getting inspired and looked through a bunch of pictures of celebs to make a collage on Publisher. I decided my style is boho-glam. It's an oxymoron, but I'm a budding fashionista, I can do whatever I want. If you want to know what it looks like, Google Blair Waldorf (for the glam) and Kate Moss (for the boho). I even made an account on style.com, to make a look-book and found some magazines I want to get a subscription to. I'll need them for school, so I'm told, so might as well get them as cheap as possible.
I really lost my passion since moving, but I've got it back. I realized this while I was trying to sleep, but kept think up new outfits and getting excited for school to start, so I can wear them. I think I'm on my way to becoming a Vancouver fashionista, but it's too bad I can't go to bars or anything. I don't want to party, cause that costs money, I just want to be out-and-about, meeting people and making myself known. I won't even be able to do that when I finish school. Lame.
I want to paint my room/bathroom, just to make my home life a bit more luxe. Maybe some of  my furnitue too, just so my room doesn't look so mismatched, and student-ish.
So now I'm going to finish cutting out some pictures from magazines and put them up on my inspiration board, then I'll try to get some sleep.
Good night everyone!

Helloooooo!
This week is going slow, but I have a feeling the last few days will go quickly.
On Monday I worked 1:30-8 and like most days, it was boring. It wasn't too bad 'cause there were enough people working, that I didn't have to stay at the front ALL day. Customers were really messy though, so I was suprised when we got out on time. After work My-lien came over and dyed my hair. It's pretty close to my natural color, which I havn't seen in such a long time. The dye is pretty dark so I'm hoping it will wash out a bit more. I wanted my roots gone for grad, so now I'm just going to let it grow out. I love changing my hair color, but it's so much work and it gets expensive.
Yesterday I worked 12:30-8 and it was SO boring because there wasn't many people working so I had to stay at the front. I sold a lot since I was the only one on the floor 'till four or five. Once I hit $1000, I stopped caring. I can't think of a job where I work in the public, but not serving them all the time, something like what I did at Co-op. I should get a job in either retail or at a restraunt though. This way I'll be getting expirience or earning more money. There's lots of coffee places by my house, but I don't think I'd like working at one. It would be best to stay somewhere that I can work my way up in, like Stitches. The managers were there for two years when they got promoted. This is because I want to own a store, so it would be good to see how it works behind the scenes. Maybe when I'm in school I'll do two shifts at Stitches and one at a store on Commercial. That's a good idea! I just thought of it. Last night after work I went shopping for a bit on Robson, then came home and went to bed.
Today I made pancakes, mmm-mmm. Later I'm going to hang out with Jennifer. She is taking the same course as me, but starts in September. We met on facebook and she just moved here yesterday. Depending on what we do today, I might go to a Broadway Jazz dance class tonight, it should be a lot of fun.
I'm home in less than two weeks! I can't believe how fast the time has gone. I can't wait to see everyone!

So I just had pretty much this whole blog written, but I hit back, and it got deleted so I'm writting it all again. So it probably wont be as good as it was.
I can't believe it's already June! It feels like I was writting exams two weeks ago, not five months ago. It's crazy to think of all the stuff I've already done this year. It's also kind of sad to see how fast the time goes, especially now because I feel like I'm always waiting for something. Right now I'm waiting to go home, and then when I get back I'll be waiting to start school. Then I don't know what I'll be waiting for.
I can't remember when the last time I wrote was, so I might repeat somethings.
On Friday I got the day off and I went to the YWCA with Angie because it was "Friendly Friday." That means she can take someone who doesn't have a membership. First we went swimming in a pool that's oxygenated, so it doesn't have any chlorine. The water felt a lot smoother and my eyes didn't hurt! Then we went in the steam room then exercised for a bit. She had to teach a class there so I went along. I went to one of her classes before but it was yin yoga so it was more relaxing and slow, This class I found really hard because it took more strength and I don't have much of that. That night we had toast and burritos for supper and watched Freedom Writers.
I had to get up really early because she had to leave for work early, and I had to get home and get ready for my day of work. It was really shitty on Saturday because the store was busy, but people wern't buy much. My sales were pretty high though, so that was good. If I ever see one of you make a mess in a store I'll punch you in the face. I seriously wanted to punch someone that day because I was so annoyed with how messy people are. Does anyone have manners? Near the end of my shift my arms started hurting from folding so many shirts so I just said I can't do it anymore, and did something else. After work I was going to go shopping on Robson with My-lien, but I was too tired. Instead I went home, had a bath, made popcorn, finished watching So you think you can Dance, and went to bed. I didn't go to bed early enough though because I was tired all day today.
I went into work early today so I could have breakfast there because I get it for free. The day was pretty good becayse the cook is usually grumpy, but he just got back from holidays so he was in a good mood. Also it was kind of slow. Slow days are nice because it's relaxing but not good because you don't get many tips. The first time I wrote this I wrote about me thinking of quitting when I start school, but I don't feel like writting it all again. After work I went to look at an apartment with My-lien. The shitty thing about here in rents high and spaces are small. I could live in the space we looked at today with a boyfriend, but I don't think I could live in that small of a space with a friend. We'd always be in eachothers business. We're going to look at some more places, but I think I'll just stay where I am. I know I wont be able to find this good of a place anywhere else. My room in big, I have a big cloest and my own bathroom, and it's a really good location. I think I can handle a crazy roommate for a while longer. Tonight I'm just going to read a book and go to bed early cause I'm boring like that.
I'm talking to Blake on msn and I can't believe all my friends are graduating! I can't believe I've been graduated for five months! It just hit my now.
Have a good couple days 'till I write to you again!
