Rachael said… Deathly Hallows was pretty amazing was it not?! I've seen it twice already and still love it. Cried both times too. Haha. Have y seen it? favourite part?
Heatwave is all over. I was in Montreal for a week and it was there too. It seems to be getting better now though. Still hot but not OMIGAWDIMGOINGTODIE-hot.
As for the rest of my summer. It's just been hanging out and relaxing. I went to Montreal and I'm going to the cottage soon. But otherwise just taking it easy at home.
I'm pumped for university. Can't wait! I move in in 25 days! This summer has flown by so fast.
Rachael said… Well, school's all done and on to summer! I'm loving it already. I have a nice steady schedule of one day of relaxation then a day of going out with friends, etc. It's been fun. I've started reading Game of Thrones, since I've been hearing so much about it recently, and it's a pretty good book, though I hear the series is really long. Oh well, I have lots of time this summer! I've also been keeping up with baseball, it's become so much more fun now that we've admitted we kinda suck, haha! And I've actually done pretty well in recent games. Besides that just hanging out with friends and whatnot. Got a couple of day trips planned, should be fun.
What have you been up to? How's the official start of summer been treating you?
Rachael said… Wow, sorry it's taken me awhile to reply, I guess I've been pretty busy. What's new with you?
Sounds like you have a fantastic summer ahead of you! Nice and busy! :D
I have my G2 right now, I could've gotten my G like a month ago, but I'm just not that motivated. I've planned to get it done by the summer though. Otherwise I'll never get it. What's the point of driving in Toronto? Which reminds me, I've decided on Ryerson, so I'll be living in TO soon! Very excited.
Ha! Nice weather?! Well maybe two weeks ago it was, certainly not now!! I had to play baseball in the rain tonight! Not as much fun as you'd think! Haha.
Anywhoozles, still busy so I've got to get going. Catch me up, what's new, what's up, what's going on? :P
Rachael said… I've worked at a little boutique in town a couple times. It's not that bad. You just sit there and use a cash register occasionally. I kinda liked it.
I've applied to three genlabour jobs. A lawn maintenance worker at a golf course, a packager at a factory, and a farm worker at a lettuce farm. I'm pretty sure I didn't get any of them. Oh well. I'll keep looking for something. If I have to I can go back to child care. Haha. Oh the joys!
I get what you mean about using you time well. That's why I really wanted the golf job, cause I felt I could learn a lot there. I've never really done a lot of outdoor work, so I was really looking forward to it. Maybe I can find something similar.
What kind of skills you looking into learning?
Rachael said… Gah, makes me nervous when you talk about general labour like that, haha. I just applied for three different summer job, all general labourers. Joy. Oh well, it's not like we work for fun eh? How much longer do you have to work?
I basically just worked over break, but on homework, not work I can be paid for, haha. Ugh. Also went to Ryerson for my interview and it went pretty well. Other than that, just doing all those little odd jobs I always put off, like sewing on buttons, that kind of stuff. Oh the fun I had. But at least it wasn't school, that's a perk.
Rachael said… Hey congrats on the job!! How's that working out so far?
No I'm still not working. That's okay though, I've picked up a few odds and ends here and there. Enough for over March break. You got any plans?
This semester is so-so for me. It could be worse. I'm actually enjoying it more now, so that's good. Gah, only a few more months!
No open houses for me, I went to all of them back in the fall, so just interviews this March break. How bout you?
Rachael said… Ah that sucks about the job hunt. Hang in there though!
I just hours cut at my job, so I'm really not working right now. They say I'll start evening shifts in March, so that's not too bad. But it's two days away and they still haven't called me. Blah. Oh well. There's always babysitting.
Yep still got one semester to go.. I so wish I could've had my semesters switched around because this one is just so boring, I'm really going to have to push to get through this and keep my average up. Which I have to do if I want to keep my scholarship. It's kinda cruel really. They give you the scholarship, say don't mess up, and if you do, they take it away. I guess it's only fair but it's a lot of pressure.
Rachael said… Wow it's taken me a while to get back to you! I've have had quite the last couple of weeks. Just finished a show. And I am exhausted!!!
I managed to scrape out an 86 average, just enough for the entrance scholarship I was aiming for. I knew there was no way I was getting 90, haha, gotta make those goals reachable. So yeah, I'm happy enough. We'll see how this semester goes.
I still haven't applied for any scholarships because most have deadlines in May or June. At least the ones I'm going for. There's a nice one from my dad's work I'm pretty sure I'll get, since it's a small company. But yeah, I'm not too worried. It'll all work out.
CONGRATS!!!! On the acceptances! That's really awesome!!
I haven't been accepted anywhere yet, but since I'm going for theatre it's really all based off of the interview and presentation. So I'm not worried. :)
Have you managed to find a job in the couple weeks it's taken me to reply? Hope so! If not, good luck!!
Rachael said… Haha I like the way you clean your room, it sounds kinda familiar... :P
Oh I am so not ready for exams, haven't even opened a book to start studying. Soooo not looking forward to that. I've got four this semester, not happy! How many for you?
I think I'm going to try and get all my additional stuff done today, cause it just so happens to be a snow day, but if not, well we'll see. No, I have to get it done today or else I'll never get it done! Haha. I even started looking up scholarships. Ugh, hating university already, it better be good!!! :P Have you started applying for those yet?
Rachael said… I had a pretty good holiday, I relaxed A LOT and hung out with friends. Also did some homework sometime during it all, and worked. It was a much needed break. And now I'm back at it. Yay.....
So far my week back has been rushing to complete assignment, ignoring assignment, being unable to make decisions about assignments, and prop hunting. :D It's all very exciting.
How'd the rest of your break go? Did you ever actually clean your room? :P
Good luck job hunting!
