waste some hours.

Have you ever noticed that everything we're doing is just a way to kill time until something exciting happens? I mean, you hear all of this stuff like, Live in the now, live for the day, live in the moment. But really aren't we just killing time before a better day? Aren't we always just counting down the days until some big event. Oh its monday, that means only four days till its friday again! Yay. Oh, 25 days till Christmas! Honestly, it seems to me that we are always counting down the days or the hours till something. Oh, I only have to blog for 20 more minutes before I can go to lunch.. sweet. It's like everything we do is just a way to push aside some boredom for a few hours before the real fun begins. But if we're always counting down to something are we ever really enjoying what we're counting down to? We spend all year waiting for our birthday or for Christmas and then it's over and the count down starts again. Why is it that certain days or events mean more than others. Okay, so maybe thats a stupid question because some days are just always going to be better, but can we ever do something meaningful with everyday to make it not such a waste of time. Because really, the way everything is now, thats what it feels like. Everyday in between the important ones is just a waste of time. Are we all going to look back on our lives and say look how many days we wasted, how many hours, just wishing it was a better day?

this always happens..

So. It's the weekend, and it's one of those weekends when you're so anxious to just go out. It's like, you can't wait to talk to your friends and figure out whats going on, and just hang out. Forget about the stress of the week (haha like my life is stressful). But seriously, sometimes you just need to party it up for a bit. So, you go home, pull out the cell phone and call all your friends. Of course, it's always the weekends you really need to get out that you get the response: "Oh, sorry Julia I'm working tonight" or "Sorry, I have family stuff" or finally "Sorry, I'm busy". Don't you just hate that? So what do you do that weekend? You watch movies with your family and wait for your MSN to beep with plans from somebody, or course, everybody has a life and doesn't care that you're bored.
Then of course its the next weekend, and you're busy finally. You've got something to do and it's awesome. This of course is also the weekend when your cell phone is going off non stop with other people who want to hang out. Where were all you people last weekend when I was going crazy with boredom?!

counting the hours

I hate those nights when you're just so tired, but you can't sleep. I don't know why it happens but for some reason, you just can't sleep. This happened to me last night. I was so tired I couldn't sleep at all. Eventually after a few hours I had to do something because I couldn't stand it anymore. This is also the worst when you know you have to get up in the morning, you're just counting the hours. If I fall asleep now I'll get five hours of sleep.. oh wait.. now its only four hours. It drives me crazy! I guess there is some subconscious thing bothering us these nights we just don't know what it is. The thing about me is that when I eventually do fall asleep whatever was bothering me is what I dream about. Like, as if I wasn't thinking about it enough, I couldn't sleep 'cause it was bothering me and now I'm dreaming about it? Give me a break!

On a totally unrelated note here is a video of Dane Cook on Crying just because I think it's hilarious. :)

co-operation please!

Okay now, I'm not a an unsocial person, but i hate group work. It's not that I hate people because I don't. It's mostly that I hate having to depend on people. Depending on them to be there, and to listen and to co-operate.
So we've just gotten this big group assignment (an EXAM assignment might I add) in my fourth period class, and already, we've had some minor disagreements about it. This is what I hate. People don't understand that all of your ideas can't be used because other people have some, and nobody wants to use anybody else's ideas or compromise in any way at all. Also, half the time people don't show up. How are we supposed to get anything done if people wont stop bickering? And why is it that the people who are co-operating have to deal with it to? Why should my mark suffer because other people are being stubborn? I don't get it!

complete boredom.

One thing that I find to be most annoying while attending classes is presentation days. Now, it's not that I hate giving presentations, that I don't really care about, I hate listening to them. Especially people who suck at them. Okay, that sounds mean, but come on we've all heard a crappy presentation or two in our school careers. It's the shy people, or the unprepared people who are simply reading a sheet and boring you all to hell. And now that I'm in the senior grades, all presentations are supposed to be minimum of fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes! That's like a week or two of classes just on presentations. I mean, I guess they're useful in some ways, but some people suck so bad at presenting you can't even hear them or understand them, so really, what am I learning from them rambling about nothing for what feels like forever. Waste of Time.
I know I'm not the only one who hates it either. I remember back to grade 10 Civics/Careers. Everybody had to have somebody come in to talk twice a week and it took up the whole class. Well, the days I actually attended these classes there was only about five people in the class. Gee, I wonder where everybody else went. Oh right, they don't wanna sit around and listen to your boring presentation. Point Proven.

a mild annoyance.

So, today I am woken up by my alarm clock screaming at me and right then and there I decided I was sleeping in. So, off goes the alarm clock and I crawl back into the comfy-ness that is my bed. Half an hour later comes my second wake up call, mom's screeching voice. Okay, time to get up I decide. Although I did finally manage to get out of bed, I was having a very slow morning, and would have preferred to give first period a miss, but no, I did the mature thing and I got in my car and went to school. I'm just such a good student. Of course, I get to school and the first thing I see is my classmates walking in the opposite direction of class. It's cancelled. Awesome. So you're telling me I got myself to school and I didn't even have to? I hate that. Now don't get me wrong, I am a huge fan of cancelled classes I just wish teachers would let us know in advance when class would be cancelled because If I'd known that I would've gotten an extra hour of sleep and would not be in such a bad mood all day, but no, I got up, for nothing. Greattt...

i love to hate..

MICROSOFT ACCESS.
Have you guys noticed how incredibly boring this stuff is?! I'd rather BLOG.. and that's saying a lot, considering you already know how much i "love" Blogging. Seriously, I'm never going to use this "access" stuff again... I've never even heard of it. Do people actually do this? What a waste of my time. I don't know about the rest of you guys in this class.. but I think this is stupid. Waaay stupid in fact.
