Agh, I hate exam time. This week is killin me. Yeaaaah, I so shoulda studied more for my exam today LOL I was gonna cheat too :P Shhhhh! Coulda got away with it too but I figured since I didn't know my shit, I'd own up to it and get whatever mark I was gonna get. I don't think I did too bad but this class is like the ONLY class I think I'd ever get an A in...we'll see after this exam. I took the whole 3 hr alloted time and I still didn't finish properly LOL I blame it on my lack of sleep again. You'd think I'd learn :P 3 hrs doesn't do a lotta good. Probably why my brain shut down. That's OK, the important thing is it's over LOL So 5:00 was the big hr...Justin tix went on sale. OMG me and Meen were online together tryin to score tix for like 2 HRS. I won't get too much into it but damn, drama stress stress drama! Bottom line, I gots me some tickets baby! BOOYAH! Yes yes I is goin to the show like I said I would :D Too bad they changed the date to when I'd have summer school...means I gotta skip that class ;)
And now I hafta study for my exam tomorrowwwww :( On a SATURDAY. At least this 8:30 am BS is done with. Maybe I can get some sleep today. Maybe I shouldn't go out today LOL

Freakin insane...that'll sum up the past 3 days. Studyin on Mon, and Tues was STRESS. Lemme try to make that one short. Less than 4 hrs sleep, got up at 6 somethin for my exam at 9. Almost got late, dunno how. Blanked on a buncha stuff on the test, needed more time to do it, was the last person to finish. So mad at myself, I knew this shit...couldn't even think of a word I wanted to use to describe a painting...not the same on both sides, imbalance, starts with an a, that word that we always make fun of G of about all her shirts...assymetrical! DAMN! Remembered it later on the way home of course. Had to stay at school til at least 4:30 for the film essay deadline. Was in the library doin it after I did the exam. Had 6 hrs to do it, no prob. Actually finished with time to go til the printer decided right then to fuck up. Ohhhhh shit no. Already paid for my print job but it wasn't comin out. Library ppl were fuckin useless, tech guy already went home, looked like I was screwed. Buncha other ppl were tryin to get their stuff printed too, couple doin the same essay due. 4:30, somebody finally got the printer workin and I got my papers, ran across campus to get it to the prof's office in time. Was a few mins late, saw the girl whose paper was also parta the messed up printer chaos just came down from runnin upstairs too, door was locked, figured it still wasn't too late and put it under the door anyway. Had checked the Ticketmaster website for Avril tix while I was doin the essay. Saw some seats they put up, score! Called G to buy them for me online. Cell phone battery crapped out, had change for only 2 calls. Spazzed about losin the tix, still had to decide whether to get 1 or 2 and go by myself or had to find SOMEBODY to go with me. Had asked everybody for weeks...friends all useless bastards...wouldn't go or were workin that night. Called Meen on pay phone (was 1 of my last hopes, it was her bday the next day and wouldn't know if she was gonna do somethin that night with her bf or family but would get back to me), sis said she was in shower, couldn't exactly call me with my cell dead. Said ah screw. Looked up tix again and saw they still had some. Called G again later, got her to call Meen on her cell, she still didn't know for sure. Begged and pleaded with G again as 1 last desperate attempt. Actually convinced her to go. The fool grudgingly said OK then realized she was workin that night. I gave it up and went back to my essay. Fun day that was. Fell asleep on the bus, had some crazy violent muscle spasm and jerked awake. At least a few ppl saw. Got embarassed as hell. Concert tix gone by the time I got home.

Couldn't wait to get that day over with. Slept and was glad to have a couple days off til my next exam. Al's back home, all quarantined til next week tho. Can't go see her til I'm done with exams...unless we're talkin against her window LOL Got to talk to her on the phone for a couple hrs tho. I even thought about bustin her out and riskin infectin myself and the entire population with potential SARS just so I could have somebody to go with me to the Avril show LOL OK Wed...I was determined to get tix, you don't even understand how I get when I say I'm gonna do somethin cuz I'ma get it done. Meen called me and said she might be able to make it but it wouldn't look good. Show started at 7. I even asked my sis, last resort :P Meen called me back and said she'd come but she had to do dinner and should be out by about 8. No biggie since there'd be openers and we didn't care about them. Came up with a plan...see if there's tix still up, figure out how to get them, figure out how to meet up. Sold out show, my ass. They put out a bunch, I could even get 3 together if I wanted. But they were some weirdo seats I've never heard of and weren't on the seatin chart. Figured I'd ask the Ticketmaster ppl to show me. Went down to the mall and bought the tix with cash. Apparently they had no idea where the seats were either but hey I'll take them. Some kinda box seats along the sides. Called Meen to say I got tix, she'd meet me downtown at the venue. I took the subway down and would check out which gate to go into and how the seats were and tell her when she got there. By this time it was 8. I'm like I'm sure the openers wouldn't take more than 2 hrs, we might miss some of the show. I was inside so I'd hafta be able to hear my cell or come out in half an hr to give Meen her ticket. ACC's a sweet place! Had to take the elevator up to the gondola seatin, couldn't see no seat numbers. They made extra space by addin the balcony area and puttin foldin chairs up along the edges. Pretty decent view! Hardly anybody was sittin there so I figured it didn't matter what our seats were, if the ppl who were supposed to be sittin there came, just up and leave and go somewhere else. Meen was still on her way but I told her the openers weren't even done yet so it was all good. It was a quarter to 9 and we missed nuthin LOL Had to go back down to give her her ticket and we went to go find our real seats. Asked some usher guy and he took us to the freakin boxes, like where the rich ppl sit for sports games! But then it was a concert and the view wasn't the same. It was still alright but this row of speakers hangin from the ceilin was kinda in the way and we'd be lookin down on the stage, like almost the top of Avril's head. We went to the other side and looked for empty seats and how the view was from those. There were a buncha prime places so we'd pick and choose the better ones when the show went on. There was a whole empty row on the other side where it was a wicked view but the security guy saw us and made us go. Then Meen had the smart idea to show our tix and ask where the seats were so he knew we were totally in the wrong place. What a concert amateur, at least pretend like we didn't know how the numbers worked, geez :P But what the hell anyway, there was NOBODY there, like it'd kill somebody if 2 ppl who already paid for their tix to sit there. We were standin there watchin her openin song and we couldn't even be there for 2 mins. I'm like, dude you're makin us miss Sk8r Boi! We went all around, sat in the other boxes, the sweet edge seats, the gondola seats below us :P Besides that 1 guy, there's was like no usher ppl around to say anythin. Or they didn't care enough, or they couldn't tell esp since it was dark up there. The floor was general admission so there were no seats, just ppl standin like a big mosh pit and the whole back end of the floor was empty so I'm like wtf, how can you say it's sold out if there's no set number of seats down there but just a sea of ppl mashed up against eachother. K I know they can't fill up the floor cuz of safety reasons but what, you can let in like 1000 but not 1002, what's me and 1 other person gonna do? Retarded. Anyway, for some reason the ppl sittin down the row from us in the same box were gone and we moved over there cuz the angle was a bit better. So we sat there the resta the show. I sat on the counter part thingy and leanin back with my arm on the drink ledge so I was like I was loungin at home :P There was a lil glass boundary thing to keep you and your stuff from fallin on ppl below but if I leaned out anymore, I'd be on the lower level LOL Good show :) I made a convert outta Meen LOL She liked Avril OK before but now she's a fan. I told her she was good live, didn't listen to me...who was right again? I totally made her bday LOL Jokes, I love her even more cuz she came out with me even tho I'm supposed to be the one makin it like I did somethin for her :P Tho whoever came up with the set list needs some help. Crappy way to end a concert and everybody knows you're supposed to close with your biggest hit, derrrr. The main point is I got to see the show. I said I would and dammit I DID! :) BOOYAH! Now I hafta do the Justin show that all of a sudden has tix up for sale tomorrow. All these weeks I've been waitin so I can have the money for it and pay before I spend it, checkin all the time on Ticketmaster, then bam. I'm just hearin about it the other day, and it's about $100 dollars, wristbands and all that shit. Son of a bitch. That's OK, this kinda thing, I am tha masta! ;)

Where should I start, kids? I think I should break up my lil stories of the weekend so far into separate ones since there's a lotta them and they're gonna be pretty long! :P Can you say fucked up?

So Fri, got my 15 pager social science essay due...guess what I'm doin at 3 am? That's right, still doin the paper. I dunno how much more I can emphasize that I hate and cannot do essays! Well I finally give it up at about 4 or so and I go to bed at 5. I was debatin whether my plan would be to either wake up early and finish it at home or wake up early and get to school early and finish it in the library. Either way I had class to go to still. So I get a whole 2-3 hrs sleep by gettin up at 7 or 8 (I don't even remember, I was in such a daze) and I'm typin away again. I work til 11 somethin, I'm late for my 12:30 tutorial class, still need to print it. Then of course my stupid disks are givin me grief with all this formattin and read only and savin probs BS. So I gotta sort that out, put it on a disk, send an email attachment to myself just in case and print it when they break durin class. I figure as long as I show up at all to hand in the essay, s'all good. No. Cuz of my runnin late and the damn weather (it's April and there's fuckin SNOW outside...snow! Freezin rain and hail and all that good shit came outta nowhere), I didn't get to school in time and totally missed class. I looked and everybody was gone. I'm like fuckin hell, there better be lecture later today cuz then I'd hafta hunt down my TA, which I never succeed in, and would be stuck with what to do with my essay. So I'm tryin to figure if I should still print it out and spend more print money or find out if there's even class so I wouldn't have to. Maybe I could email it if I still don't see my TA. So I've got an hr to kill before seein if there's lecture. I returned my heavy ass library books that I had to lug around all that time and did some email. Al's back! I'll talk more about that later :P Anyway, so turns out there's class but it's not a formal lecture cuz it's review and there's like no more than 10 ppl there. But 1 of them was Ax :)

I was just thinkin the other week that I hadn't seen him in like a month or whatever. That boy does not go to class! LOL I saw him once in the library from the back and was like, where has that punk been? :P But he was too far to say hey and I wasn't gonna yell cuz it was in the library. I was thinkin about goin after him but then I was like um no, that's kinda stalker-ish LOL cuz I'd be followin him when he doesn't know. Anywaaay, so I got to talk to him in class. The TA was there and ppl who missed tutorial were handin in their papers and I didn't want the same thing to happen like in art class where I'd come back from printin and class would be done so I told him I'd just go and print it and be right back. But he said I could email it so I'm like, really? OK (my TA's a young guy and he's pretty chill...I can't believe I actually said, "Oh so it's cool I just email it to you?" Just slipped out cuz it's the way I talk I guess but it woulda been so weird if I said that to my other old white-haired profs :P) Anyhoo, so I coulda stayed my ass home and just emailed that bitch in if I wanted to. I never know if they're gonna be tightass about hard copies or emails so why didn't he just say so before? I made myself feel better by sayin at least I brought my library books that were due back and got to hang with Ax :P Good thing I didn't end up printin it :) Saved some money...and trees LOL So after class we went back to the library cuz he had to meet his friend and I was gonna do some comp shit. We got to talkin about summer school and he's goin too. Turns out he's takin the photography class that I was thinkin of takin. I'm like, hmmm maybe I SHOULD take it LOL But then I'd be goin to school 4 days a week with my other courses and that's a bit much. Plus, that's like the max course load of 18 credits just in the summer, kinda overdoin it so nah. Dammit, that woulda been sweet...Ax in 1 class, Tony in the other. Summer school wouldn't be all that bad at all! ;) Just playin. So he went off to look for his friend and he said he'd come back to chill with me later since he had to wait for like 2 hrs til he could leave. Ahhh good day, good day! LOL Even tho I had about like 60 secs to do my hair that morning and I had red eyes from lack of sleep (probably not a smart idea to wear contacts like that either but oh well, I just can't deal with glasses no more...esp with it bein cold out, they'd fog up when I got indoors). Can't believe I let him see me lookin like sheeyat :P

So I'm bussin it back home and G and L call me wantin to do somethin. It's like 6 pm and I'd been up since 8 and all I was plannin to do that night was sleep. Tho I was surprisingly not conkin out all day. Since my brain was still goin, I was like fine whatcha wanna do? The roads were still nasty and we weren't feelin up for much so we were just gonna chill at somebody's house and figure out plans later. They told me to get off at the stop near Timmy's and they'd pick me up from there. We went to my place and spent like a good hr just sittin there and eatin, tryin to think of somethin to do. God, there WAS nuthin to do around here...nuthin we haven't done already anyway. Ended up goin to Blockbuster and Wallymart for some movie grub. Got The Ring and Maid in Manhatten. The Ring wasn't even scary at all. It was alright tho, like weird freaky. Maybe I'm kinda slow or I just got no imagination but I was like either meh whatever, scare me already! or huh? wtf just happened, I have no idea what's goin on LOL Oh yeah, it wasn't my idea to get Maid in Manhatten so I didn't watch it. Not too into J. Ho as L calls her LOL Esp since Jenny from the Block...I mean come on, that song's totally bitin Beatnuts' joint Watch Out Now. Is there nuthin that woman doesn't sample?? OK I'm goin off again...anyway so we're at G's house and we're messin around on the comp and I was on MSN chattin to Court and Em and L decides to rudely interrupt and starts fuckin around on it. She's like I wanna talk to them and I'm like, you don't even know these ppl you ass. Swear to god, she was outta her friggin mind, the shit was she was writin! And I'm like wtf are you doin and she's FIGHTIN me for the keyboard! So now I look like A) a total schizo (ie. hi...*smiley face* *smiley face* *cryin face*...hi...hi...hi!....OK this is me now, for real, ignore that shit...haha no THIS is me!...my fuckin friend is screwin with it, it's not me!, etc etc), B) a completely tanked drunkard, C) a pervy dirty girl (you don't wanna know what L was sayin), or D) all of the above. Holy crap, man. Oh and before that, me, Sarah, G were on the bed watchin the movie and L and Heather are on the couch. Sarah's beside me and she's eatin yogurt and we were laughin at somethin, G's like doublin over and knocks Sarah to the left and she spills her friggin yogurt on my jeans! So I got a big WHITE stain on my thigh, that's greaaaaat. I'm like, you bitches are lucky we're stayin in and no one's gonna see me like this. How's that gonna look? "It's yogurt, I swear!" Geeez. I wasn't gonna let G put my jeans in the laundry cuz after that I just didn't trust her, she'd probably fuck them up even more :P

OK, Al...I was on MSN and talkin to Pris and she said she emailed Al and said that she'd be comin from HK early. I was like when? She's like, next week or somethin. Crazy, she said she'd be over there til May. Her school's bringin ppl back just to be safe. 1 word I'm sicka hearin about besides war is SARS. Shit, ppl are gettin so freaked out paranoid it's messed up. I'm not even gonna comment on it, it's nuts. So when Al's back, she'll be in quaratine for about a week. Guess there's not gonna be any welcome-home hugs for a while! But at least, she's home :) Can't believe it's been 4 months since she left. Now she can take back that hedgehog of hers! LOL It's perfect timin tho...we're gonna party it up when we're all done exams and shit and she'll be outta quaratine. Whew, so that's about it. I think this blogger stuff is like therapy to me.
