Hey Everyone,

So, as you know, if you have read my previous post, you'd know that I moved out of residence, otherwise known as "That Sad Hell Hole of an Apartment," and into Nicole's house. 

Nicole's house is SO much nicer, cleaner, and the people living there are much more considerate.  I couldn't be more grateful.  I still have yet to hand in my keys.  Unfortunately, I need to wait until Wednesday to do that since that is when the don is free.  Besides that, I'm totally ready for summer...you know...beside the fact that I don't have a job yet...It's tough trying to find a job and have all these papers and such at the same time...I don't know how some people do it.

It's weird being so far from the bank and from Ian's, but I ought to get used to it anyway.  I'm not going to be living on campus next year.  It's also weird not going home by train with my friend, Daniel, anymore.  I miss him.  My parents have been coming down on the weekends to look at houses and I'd go home with them.  Except for this past weekend where I stayed to go to a party with Nicole.  She wanted me to meet her friends, and to be honest, I like them.  They're interesting and funny. =]

It's still weird catching a bus before classes and a ride with her mom after classes.  Mind you, it hasn't even been a full week since the incident, so I guess it would make sense. 

Anyway, more next time.  For now, chill, get your stuff done, and be prepared for the happy "I'm officially out of residence!" celebration!

Until then,

Dusk

Hai Guys! :3

Yeah, so, for those of you out there that don't know, my roommates and I just went through this MASSIVE explosive fight.  Remember how I told you that the place is disgusting and nobody does anything?  Well, I finally got sick of it and tagged them all in a Facebook status saying that they have to clean up EVERYTHING in the sink by 7:00PM on Wednesday or I would throw it all out.  I had no complaints...until Kelsey saw it. 

Basically, she called me out of my room and started screaming at me asking me why I had posted that on Facebook, telling me how embarrassing it was, and how I should have just told them.  Wellllllll, clearly she hadn't finished reading the post because I had said that I posted it since I didn't know all of their schedules and this way I knew they would see it.  But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

She called me out and we had a verbal smackdown in which nobody wins.  Nicole knows.  She was there lying on my bed listening to it happen.  But, honestly, clean the dishes!  There was NO space to clean ANYTHING.  The dishes in the sink piled right up to the faucet!  I was going to throw everything out because I couldn't do anything in the kitchen!  Besides, how in the world was that embarrassing at all for her?!  She always has people coming in, everybody's seen the mess!  What are they going to care?!

But, nope.  Nicole's mom was concerned for me because girls are bloody vicious creatures.  I don't like many of them, however, the few that become my friends are REALLY good friends (ie. Nicole =P).  I was very lucky.  Nicole's parents took me in.  We just finished taking the last of my stuff out of that place.  I swear that was the 7th layer of Hell or something...what did I do in a past life?! D'x

It sounds like due time to celebrate my leaving that filth pit, yes?  Not quite.  I still have to do a proper check-out of residence with my floor don (dorm advisor, if you will).  So, I'm trying to get a hold of her so we can set up a sort of appointment and I'll return my keys and everything.  I don't want anything to do with that apartment ever again.

I'll let you know when we can start celebrating my freedom of that stupid place. 

In the meantime, keep it real, keep true to you.

Peace,

Dusk

Well, hello, World!

Thought I'd let you know how my day went today.

I got back to residence after my morning class to find about four to five bottles of alcohol on the kitchen table standing in a line from biggest to smallest.  I will update later to show you what I mean.  This made me worry and the first thing that I thought of was, "I'm NOT getting any sleep tonight..."

Being me, my first thought was to see if I could crash at Nicole's only to realise that she finishes classes much earlier in the day and the buses stop running an hour before I get off class.  Not a problem, right?  You can just skip that last class, it's okay, right?  NO!  I don't skip class, I'm a good student. =]  Not to mention, I had a quiz to write in that class. 

So, I started to feel down because I couldn't think about how to handle the noise my roommates would make tonight.  THEN, because Nicole is brilliant and I am not (yes, I did say that), she reminded me that I could go to Ian's to sleep.  It would mean that I am on a couch, but it also means that it'd be quiet and I get sleep tonight.  Of course, I gave Ian a text and now, HERE I AM!  I'm at Ian's.  He and Nicole are seriously the ones keeping me sane while I have to deal with these darned roommates.

Yeah...so...I don't really know how to end this...

So, here, have a sleepy Corgi.

Hey, Everyone!

Thought I'd tell you about my mess of assignments...well, I guess it isn't that many, but when I even think about working them all out, it feels like a lot.  You see, just before the end of Reading Week, Nicole told me that I have a proposal to do for Reading Drama.  What I didn't realise was that it was actually just the outline for it.  So there I was panicking like a mad child about having to write six pages for Monday...little did I realise that I read the wrong part of the syllabus. 

I ONLY needed the outline, not the actual proposal which is due later on.  Crisis diverted...only sort of.  I also have the rough draft of an essay due this Friday, the actual essay to write, a research paper to start for Archaeology, AND the final proposal for Drama.....fun.

If I actually do plan things to work out, all should be fine.  But, having my brain, I would be thinking about anime at such a bad time...I just spent my break this afternoon watching the first three and a half episodes of Blue Exorcist.  Smart me...I think this is just a result of stress and the recent bout of depression passing...I guess you can't really call it depression, but it is just feeling really, really, REALLY down...it's getting better now.  I think what I really needed was just some companionship...even though I wanted to be alone. 

I noticed that when my roommate got back that I was feeling a bit better.  It started as that little bit of fake smiles and all that, but then Nicole came by.  Thank God that she did too.  That made me feel a LOT better. =]

If you're reading this, Nicole, thanks so much! =]

It's tough to do when you're really down, but seriously, being with your friends, even when you want to be just completely alone to mope helps SOOO much.

Anyway, more on that another time.  Class is starting soon.

Hasta la bye bye,

Dusk

I've recently been out to see The Woman In Black with Nicole, you guys all know Nicole by now. =P

Well, the movie had a very nice story going.  It was very sweet, but extremely spooky at the same time.

At this time, Nicole would probably freak out at me and say something along the lines of, "HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?! YOU SPENT HALF OF THE MOVIE BEHIND A MAGAZINE!"

It's true...I did.  That was how scary it was...and as any good horror movie/book, I'm not going to be able to sleep for a week...I'm also flinching at everything, and I'm afraid of the dark...again.  Usually I really like the dark.  But every once in a while I get spooked and it doesn't leave me alone.  It makes sleeping a challenge, and I'm really freaked out by showers...I always get the feeling that something will pop up. 

I feel the shower thing needs a bit of explaining.  When I'm at home, the door to our shower is clear and I use the towels as a sort of curtain-ish thing.  I always get the feeling that someone is going to shift the towel aside and pop up suddenly with a really frightening look. @_@

I spook way too easily and shouldn't watch horror movies, but at the same time I like the stories...it doesn't work very well.  Anyway, back to the movie.

It isn't quite like some horror films where they just give you a mess of cheap scares and it scares you anyway.  It lines you up for many different kinds of scares.  Cheap scares, "HOLY OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT?!" scares, the "OH GOD...OH GOD WHAT IS THAT...WHAT. IS. THAT?!" scares, and last but not least the fake, where they set you up for what you think will be a cheap scare and nothing happens.  You know why nothing happens?  They're saving it all for later...

Honestly though, I did like this movie despite the fact that it scared me behind a magazine constantly.  I mean...that's what it was supposed to do right?  Plus, I won't be sleeping properly for a week, so it totally wins there.

I would totally recommend it to anyone who enjoys horror films and ghosts.

I hope you enjoyed this, although it was pretty side-tracked.

Until next time,

Dusk
