Well, after being nicely silent for awhile my conscience is making me write a blog entry. Okay, okay, maybe it's not conscience but Daly... Still :)

I had a really busy day today which is surprising considering that I've got less than 6 hours of sleep. I mean usually I wouldn't have the energy to do all these errands without someone pushing me, but I guess there was something energetic in the air. So this morning I took a bus and went to the clinic where my family doctor resides to finally do the blood test that I was supposed to do about half a year ago. I can already predict what will happen next: they are going to tell me that my platelets are low and give me another blood test to do in another half a year and for this OHIP will pay my doctor a good $40 or so. Working in a medical office really shone some light for me on the workings of canadian medical system.

Afterwards, I headed to my dentist to extort my dental X-rays from them which I did pretty successfully with the exception that they managed to make me promise to bring the X-rays back because according to them there is a law which states that they are supposed to keep my X-rays. And that's after I payed a good $100 for them and not just through insurance. We'll see about returning them... While there I also gave Aurelia a call on the off chance that she would want to go out, but as it usually comes out with last minute calls, Aurelia wasn't there and that plan has been erased.

While there, I visited a TD bank to get a paper for a direct deposit for my OSAP. Now, either that branch is really really quiet or the teller was very new because he kept making small talk and then decided to offer me stuff for no reason whatsoever. Usually the tellers are a whole lot faster, but this one took up soo much time... Kinda unusual, but I didn't care much. Now I am considering getting a credit card because he put it in my mind. I could get one from TD, but I also got a brochure from UofT with their own master card, so that's a possibility too.. Though for now I don't care too much since there isn't a whole lot of use for it and it will just make life more complicated for me... Though I guess I'll have to start building up credit and such sometime... Not yet though.

After that I went to UofT and deferred my fees since I've got no wish to be charged for having my payment overdue. I was also hoping that OSAP might already be in, but it wasn't, so there was nothing left but to go home.

As for the past couple of weeks, nothing much happened there. I finished with algebra which was the highlight of last week and which was a great relief to me since I didn't want to study any more at all... I don't think I did overly well on my exam, but since everyone seems to be accusing me of downplaying my marks (which is not true btw!) so I will not be making any more predictions. Now all that is left for me to do is to check ROSI every day for my mark.

I am also looking forward towards the remaining two weeks before the school kicks in and right now I am working on a plan that would keep me entertained during that time. I'd really like to do something extra fun before I hit the books for another 8 month. Any ideas will be appreciated. :)

In any case I think I am done with this entry for now. Daly is cooking something special for dinner for me and we are planning to watch a movie. So now I am gonna go and enjoy the rest of my evening. My bf is better than yours :P

Ah... I've got a great idea today... I decided to retire... Of course my idea didn't work out, but hell that was one good idea. It came from having a bunch of people sit on my head and demand eye exams all at the same time. My manager of course left to act as a driver to her son and daughter and that's when I decided to retire. Well, nothing came out of that, but today was one long day at work and a busy one at that.

Last weekend I went to Waterloo to visit Daly and there I realized I should stay living with my mom until I get enough money to get a maid for myself. I don't think I'd want to handle cooking, cleaning, and dish-washing. I mean sure I can do it once a day or something... but not for all 10 meals a day we have with 1000 dishes. Ok. I exaggerate but still... I decided that if marriage means dishwashing then I'll pass. Ok. well I am not serious about this, but Rebecca's blog is making me depressed. What is it with people becoming all serious, commited, and responsible? Of course I fit into Rebecca's understanding of it by being so called Serious girlfried but it doesn't mean I have agreed to grow up. Blah. I just thought I wanted to transport to some point of my life where I was totally happy and I realized I don't have one. So yeah, that means I'll have to make some seriously happy future for myself and preferably stop the clocks there. Well, at least I've got some serious long term goals now.
