Leftovers

Posted by Ashleigh on 10:59 AM
Just two points to add that I didn't in my previous entry today:

  1. I have plans to hang out with my cousin on Monday! Yay! He's going to York next year for some kind of computer degree, and he's going to be at York on Monday to register for his courses. He's going to be doing registration stuff from 9:00am to 12:00pm, so I told him if he didn't mind waiting around on his own for a half-hour, that I could meet up with him in Vari Hall at 12:30pm and take him to my next lecture with me, then when it ends at 2:30pm, we could go get a late lunch and I could show him around campus. He said that sounded great and he'd borrow his mom's cell phone to contact me in case he runs late at his registration. I told my grandma and the first thing she said is "Oh, that's so nice! You'll have a friend to hang out with next year!" Um... yeah... but no. It's Guelph or working until I get into Guelph for me.
  2. I'm so mad at Jacquelyn again! I asked her if she could print out my assignment before she went to class this morning and sent it to her last night. She said no problem, she'd print it out for sure and bring it to NATS so I could hand it in right on time. Then just now, she calls me, saying that she's still at home working on her NATS project and she doesn't know whether she'll be able to make it to class to hand her assignment in and might have to show up later to hand it in before the final 6:30pm deadline. Um, problem: SHE HAS MY PROJECT! This is a term paper, not some rinky-dink lab report that's worth only ten marks. This project's worth nearly 20% of our final grade and she may or may not hand it in??? If she was too lazy to finish her project last night and didn't hand it in on time today, then that's her own problem and I don't really care, but if she had taken the time to finish it last night, ask me to print it out, and sent it to me, I would have made damn sure that I was there, in NATS at 2:30pm on the fucking dot to hand in her assignment, because she depended on me and placed her grade in my hands. I KNOW she has at least three hours in between classes today in which she could have finished her project in the library at school. She even asked me to bring in my laptop today so she could finish it today at school, so now I'm stuck lugging this heavy thing around all day for no reason, with no report to hand into my professor and no idea whether it will get in on time at all, and IT'S ALL HER FAULT! The professor made it very clear that any assignments handed in even a second after 6:30pm won't be accepted and will just count as a zero. I'm so mad! I swear, if this project doesn't get handed in on time, I'm going to make her regret the day she ever met me!

OH MY GOD, another epic entry. @_@; This one's even a two-parter! Good lord, girl. I haven't even gotten around to commenting on the other one, because my computer ate it. >.>


Okay. *cracks knuckles*

Part I: Few Days of Absenceo1] I don't think you of all people needs to worry about plagiarism.

o2] Yay Restaurant City! :D

o3] Fight = lame, but I already told you that.

o4] Cutting your parents out of your life is only good if it's temporary. Space is good, completely disowning the people who raised you and love you (yes, they do. Really.), isn't really a good thing. It will always be a sore spot in your life. I never ignored my father with the intention of it being permanent. I just wanted him to leave me the fuck alone for a while. Your parents might even learn something from the experience, and I know you will too.

In short: do it until it doesn't suit you anymore. If they're too set in their ways to help their little girl do something her way, then you'll just have to do it independently of them. It's just fodder for your biography. xD

o5] None taken, love. I've essentially been a hermit emo for a year.

I was always going to finish my course. It just hinged on my father not being a douchebag. I really don't know what I would've done if he'd cancelled it. Probably knife his tires.

Your ideas about the bank organization are quite good. I'll implement them when I'm able.

I'm definitely serious. I'm tired of being an epic failure, in all senses of the word. I'm terrified of being a failure, and the fact that one of my worst fears came true made me implode. It's so worrying to me that while I forget everything else, I still remember every single person I owe money to. I still remember that I owe Jo's mum twelve dollars from when we went to see the Lord of the Rings costume exhibit at the ROM in seventh grade. I owe Chris a drawing or five dollars. There are regrettably more. I'm sick of having to borrow money because I have none of my own.

o6] I wouldn't leave you alone all night. It wouldn't be right. I'd be so guilt-ridden that I wouldn't be able to enjoy myself at all.

Solutions:

- I go with them to the Fallsview for a couple hours, and then we go out and have fun for a couple hours, or vice-versa.

- We go out and do things that you're legally unable to while you have a lovely intimate dinner with Chris. There are a plethora of very good restaurants in the area.

Either way, I'll make sure you have a good time. n___n

o7] Oh, yes, his friends. >.> I'm not particularly fond of a lot of them, but I trust his judgment in people. They can't be all bad. Perhaps they're not approaching you because you don't say much. Try finding a common ground with them that's obvious, like your university woes. I'm sure they'll be able to identify with being worried that you won't be accepted to Guelph and having no money.

It's kind of horrible interacting with a group of people that have very few of the same interests as you. It's like relearning social skills all over again. You have to be extra charming, personable, and friendly, even if you really aren't necessarily those things (not saying you aren't). They're the same skills you'll need to apply for a job, so you're going to have to learn to project these eventually anyway. Think of Chris' friends as a test group. xD

o8] I'm glad to hear that you were able to come to a solution, even if it's only temporary. As things change, I'm sure you'll be able to find a new and different way to implement a more permanent solution. This seems to be a year of upheaval and personal growth for both of us.


Leftoverso9] Yay for cousins! I hope you have a good day. I miss my cousin so hardcore. ;___;

1o] Printer epic fail is no fun. My dad could probably get you a Canon Pixma for like $20. That's how much he paid for mine. it prints well and the scanner is quite good.

She shouldn't have done that. If someone else's marks are on the line, you do what they asked and you agreed to FIRST. I'd suggest perhaps asking someone else next time.

EPIC COMMENT IS EPIC.


04] I'm entirely serious about cutting them out of my life forever. They deserve it.

06] Haha, I didn't think you would, but I'd feel terrible for keeping you from being with the rest of your friends.

How about we hang out for a bit in the early evening hours, then you go to Fallsview while Chris and I do our own thing the rest of the night? I hate Marilyn and Joanna, but I still want to see you.

07] Um, I've thought about that, but there've been times where I've tried to say something and they just kind of answer me curtly and then ignore me again. I just don't try to say something all that often, because there is honestly nothing to say to them.

I also don't think griping and complaining all night is going to make a very good first impression on them.

10] Yeah. I used to be sad that I was leaving her at the end of this year, but now I don't think I'll miss her.
