Mmhh Monday Mornings

No one enjoys Monday mornings, but mine got a bit better when a streetcar driver let me on, even though I made the silly mistake of chucking my January metro pass out and grabbing my Feb one instead. In my head I was sure it was Feb first. Thankfully he looked into my pitiful eyes and allowed me to ride the streetcar. It was an honest mistake, but I feel rather embarrassed.

Now I feel that I must return the kindness to someone else today : )

But for now enjoy this video..Happy Monday!

Early Wake Up Call

I can't recall the last time I was up and awake on a Saturday at 8 a.m., but long and behold it happened today - less than happy about it.

I am not quite sure what to do with this time that I have gotten on my hands now. Considering I haven't gone to school all week, due to the flooding of one of the buildings on my campus. So no HOMEWORK!

My only plan for today is to cut my hair...

I really want to get bangs again, but I am not sure which way I like to cut them

These are just some of the cuts I like

It funny that I want to get bangs again. Every time I get them cut I start to complain and want to grow them out. They are a bit hard to maintain for me; my hair is naturally curly.

I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens

TGIF!

It's Friday; smile!

New "TGIF" song. Can't help but be happy.

Cults-'Go Outside'

Flood Day!

So here is a question for you all, what does one do on a "Flood Day"?- yes a flood day, my classes for today and tomorrow have been cancelled due to a flood (guessing the -20 temp last night did some damage, eh).

It's ironic that today of all days I woke up on time and was all ready to go to school, but nope...It was thanks to Twitter actually that I even found out about the cancelling of classes.

So having woken up earlier than I would have if I have known, I now got a free day, what shall I do??

Step one: create playlist-

Step two: start picking clothes and plates off the floor

Step three: continue cleaning room

Step four: go on YouTube for x amount of time

Step five: make lunch

Step six: work out!!

Step seven: repeat; skipping step two and tree

This is my FLOOD DAY playlist:

1.'Must be the Moon' - !!!

2.'Infra 5'- Max Richter

3.'Animal'- Neon Trees

4.'Floating Vibes'- Surfer Blood

5.'Symphonies'-Dan Black ft. Kid Cudi

6.'Facelove'-PS I Love You

Turning 20 is a hard job, but someone has to do it

This past week I finally hit the big 2o. Yikes!

Even though I am not big on the whole birthday celebration, I did go out with my good friends on the weekend.

Spent a lovely time at the London Tap house

Chat room

I was watching this movie thriller, both in the UK version and the American..It is interesting how different they both make the movie seem..either way looks as if it will be a good one

How sweet

A pretty clever song. She is quite talented, thought to share it

Released Today

New trailer released today for Skins season 5

One of the girls reminds me of Jal from season 1-2 though, hmmm

I also wonder if they are going to mention anything that happened from season 4; it was quite the cliff hanger

Who Isn't Hooked on This?!

I have got three words for you people.... EPIC MEAL TIME

Not sure who hasn’t yet seen these videos, but they will definitely do the following to you

-start making you drool non-stop

-stab a fork in your eye

-puke all over your computer

-run out and kill a bunch of animals

-or make you crazy enough to attempt in recreating one or more of these dishes

Though I am not a big meat eater; however, some of this looks good, and makes me curious to even try half of it.

Every Tuesday a new video is posted, so if you aren't already hooked you most probably will be after one watch. Here is the latest one…enjoy!

After class chats

As my 2nd day of classes came to an end today, I was more or less worried about the up coming assignment of pulling of a school wide art show for Humber College with my event planning class. Voted as logistics chair, I need to over see that all of my sub committees are working well, and the tasks are being done on time. The teacher has turned the entire art show into our hands--scary when this is the first event you have ever put on!

So after class, the executive council (Chair, vice-chair, promotions chair, etc) got together to confess each of ours fears and worries about the assignment and the "journey" we are about to all undertake.

This conversation lasted over 3 hours and turned into much more than just about the assignment. We shared our thoughts on getting internship in the coming year, jobs and career opportunities, and schooling. It was neat to get to see how others in my class feel just the same way as I do about these issues.

Without a moment's hesitation, I would def say that I love my classmates, and respect them and their views and ideas. It's a great feeling to be able to share similar interests and fears with others, and have someone who is going through the same things as you to talk to.

Getting a job is important to everyone, and every student worries about "if there will be one for me?". It's hard to just go to school and not rethink if you made the right choice, and if a career really will be waiting for you, as that college or university poster on the subway says. Being a student is a great feeling; however, I am ready for the "real world" and start working and making money. Even though I am a week shy of 20, I feel that I want to start working now and making a career for myself. Seeing people in their mid 20s coming back to school for the 2nd or maybe even 3rd time scares me, making me wonder if I'll end up doing that. I know public relations is my calling, I cannot picture myself doing anything else really..maybe dancing or a tour guide(?)

But for right I'll be taking one step at a time, and trying to get some sleep : )

First day: goals

I have always found the first day of classes to be somewhat motivational; fresh start, new goals, new teachers and assignments. However I find this feeling doesn't last more than a week or so, and then it's back to being grumpy and annoyed with the course load. Thus my plan is make some realistic goals and tasks for each week and work towards them. I have always been wanting to do that, but being tired and working got in the way. This term I have no excuse, for I am not working and my class schedule isn't bad at all.

In my media relations class this afternoon the teacher gave the class an in-depth look into the different fields of public relations, and the pros and cons of each...causing me to be even more confused as to what I would like to do for my internship next year, not to mention my career. But as I have said before, public relations offers opportunities pretty much anywhere; just got to go and get them.

So as of today, yes TODAY (I'll make sure I'll actually do it) is to:

A) Make a list of companies and organizations I'll like to volunteer for this year

B) Email them

C) Repeat

From this I hope to get more insight and experiences, as well make some contacts. I'll hopefully be able to narrow down a bit more as to what I would like to be doing afterwards.

Non-profit or government (public affairs) is still at the top of my list; however, I do think agency or corporate would be fun, and I can learn a lot from it quickly......if only I had a magic crystal ball to me!!!

A little video that sums up how I am feeling, enjoy!

Happy Monday

That time of year again..Back to classes

As of tomorrow, my three weeks of winter holiday comes to an end and classes resume....yay?

This term will be a busy one. I am half way done my program and only have three more terms and one of them is co-op.

This will be a long term as well; six courses, work and logistics chair for my special events class-eep.

My goals are to try to stay on top of my tasks and assignments, find a new job, save money to move out--that's is my main goal for this year: move out with my friend, though my parents don't approve of this plan but its about time.

Well to help ease those pains of going back to school here is a video to enjoy!

New Addiction: Skins

Though I've heard about this show about three years back, I haven't been able to start watching it. But now that I have I can't stop...I am talking about the smash UK show Skins.

Skins is a teen drama, but it cannot be compared to the O.C or Gossip Girl. A lot of the plot is shocking, and the show is not scared to go into those "dark places". It seems rather natural and realistic then the other shows out there on the lives of teens. I been to England one summer, and I am not surprised by the behavior//plot lines on the show. Kids really do led lives as that.

Every two seasons (or series as they call them) the cast gets replaced completely--which is a pretty clever idea; that way, new plot lines and characters can be introduced

Now MTV has decided to do a North American remake of this show, should be interesting-the plot stays the same...:/

But for now I'll await season 5 of Skins, here is a season 4 promo and season 5

Black Swan

I am pretty sure when Tchaikovsky wrote Swan Lake, he never envisioned the Black Swan..or did he?

Just as most people have, I went to see the Black Swan today..there was so much hype about it that I couldn't resit it.

I did hear mixed reviews on it, and was warned that it was strange and not to expect anything....

The first few minutes made me miss myself dancing and taking ballet class, and then things started to get darker and darker. For most of the movie I on was on edge, even my boyfriend filched a few times at the gruesomeness of the scenes. I enjoyed that aspect of the film, made feel unsure about everything, even though I felt as if I know what was going to happen..I couldn't tell. I felt as if I was going to become insane myself afterwards : )

The philosophy of the movie was good, it shows how we all have inner demons we need to face and the ballet plot was a nice back drop for it. The ballet setting helped convey the points of how some people will do just about anything to get what they want. The movie messed around with the audiences' mind for sure

I do recommend for people to go see it; however, know it's not a ballet//dance movie a.k.a Step Up, and it is dark and not a happy ending. You'll most likely leave the theatre saying "WTF" and spend a good deal of time afterwards thinking about what you just saw and try to analyze each bit of it to understand it.
