Is a minimum wage slave for life.

Every single time I go into a store people ask if I work there! I'm sorry but walking into a pet store wearing a full suit does not scream that I work there. Why in the hell would I wear a suit around animals that will just get dirty and require some heavy duty dry cleaning. Are you kidding me? I am convinced people are morons. Like the one time I was shopping for bedding and pillows and some guy decided to follow me around saying "excuse me miss! Excuse me!" until I finally said "what???" and he asked where some shit was and I said I don't work here leave me alone! Gah! And he proceeded to stand there like a dumbass waiting for a response and then proceeded to bitch about shitty customer service! Bah what a joke! Apparently no matter what I wear I look like a minimum wage slave. Gah!

is extremely angry now!

Basically my Law professor just accused me and my classmate of cheating. He said our contract was too well written and looked like it was photocopied from the place we did it on...

WTF!

Why would I ever even think of doing that!?!?! Honestly! For people that know me they know I would never do that and risk my academic integrity. Seriously... This day has not been going so well because of that. I had to convince him that it was not copied and that I had never even worked there! Seriously my college fails! GR! I also tried to make a video but apparently my voice and video don't work together. I have no idea why... but yea... Need to work on it or use my iPad.

Honestly though... who does that? GAH!

That's the professor that I posted the video about before being the boring Economics teacher except it's for Law. I would almost prefer him as an Economics professor rather than Law. This is by FAR the worst professor I have ever had though... Sad yes it is. My grade two teacher was better than this.

I'm really sorry but I needed to vent about that BIG time. On the plus side I have an OCMC meeting this evening and should find out more about it and exactly what I will need to do to succeed. Anyways... I just needed to get that off of my chest. I need to actually start paying attention to class now...

is excited beyond all belief!

I'm sorry it's been a few days since my last post but SO much has happened that I NEED to blog about!

Monday: I started to write my blog but ended up being a little bit busy with class and homework (all that good stuff). The greatest opportunity EVER has come my way! I am now a team member of OCMC! YAY ME! This is going to require a lot more work on my part but will be well worth it in the end.

Tuesday: Found an amazing looking Duplex online and contacted the gentleman to take a look at it. He responded really promptly... I have to say it's a nice pace and feels good to be kept informed.

Thursday: Went to look at the Duplex and completely loved it!! Going to see if getting accepted for the lease is an option.

Friday: GOT ACCEPTED FOR THE LEASE! BOOYAH! I am so excited!!! I have never been so happy in all of my life! EIP! Going to sign all of the paperwork tomorrow! Yes indeed! Our first apartment... this should be interesting but amazing nonetheless. So far this week has been one of the best weeks EVER! I know it's because my grandma is taking care of me from heaven. *cheesy I know but it's how I feel*

Plans for Saturday:

1. Sleep in like a baby!!!
2. Go sign the lease.
3. Work and find out about possible promotion...
4. Go home with the biggest smile I have ever had in my life!!!

As for everyone who actually reads this blog thank you for the support and actually somewhat caring. PROPS to the interwebs and everyone on it. Until we meet again (most likely Sunday).

P.S. I know... video... working on it ;)

is moving soon

I am currently looking for a place to move to and damn... it is a lot of hard work just to find a half decent place that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Something downtown would be nice but I don't know if that will happen since rent typically gets expensive. Needing to have underground parking doesn't really help much either... but it is what it is. If anyone knows of any good locations I would appreciate if you let me know... pretty please? I still haven't found something to use to edit videos either. It will happen though! 

I find out about OCMC tomorrow!!! I am more excited and nervous than I can even explain. Ashley understands where I am coming from and when I find out I will most probably SCREAM. I hope it's not in class so that everyone's ears are saved from the screeches. 

 

That picture seemed appropriate :) I will post asap as soon as I find out about OCMC. I just realized I haven't really explained this OCMC awesomeness to most people. OCMC stands for Ontario Colleges Marketing Competition here's a link in case you want to find out some more information about it:

Something else really funny is that I saw my Law prof. at the casino last night. Talk about hilarious! He basically is the exact same person as this guy:

I kind of pictured him as being a robot and the fact that he was out at around 2am... interesting. I'll harass him about it tomorrow in class when I see him. It should be fun and my class will get a kick out of it. As of right now I really need to sleep and make sure I am ready for school tomorrow :( 

is really sorry!

I know I need to make a video soon and said I would I've just been so busy with school. I also need to download something to edit videos. I should have something on my iMac that I can use though... I just don't typically do 'work' on my iMac. If anyone has any recommendations that would be amazing just comment below!

Also about OCMC I find out on Monday and will obviously post something ASAP when I find out to let everyone know! Installment #3 already started and on the go! This one will be a lot easier than any other installment. I'm also moving out in 2.5 months, which I'm starting to get pretty nervous for. Calling around for availability is going to start in about 2 weeks... Yes, I'm nervous much. First time living without my parents should be really interesting. I'm excited for it but scared all at the same time. I'm sure many people can relate to what I will soon be going through. I have never even moved in my entire life so it will be interesting...

Also I work a lot this weekend so I'm not sure when the next update will be but their might be a possible promotion on the horizon. Wish me luck!

is installment #2 and soon #3

Yesterday I was stressed beyond all belief over my installment #2 that is due for my class tomorrow. I now no longer have to worry! It is finished, printed, and ready to be submitted to my professor. When I reviewed the material and looked at the printed copy I felt like this:

After 8 hours of a group meeting and editing finally... it is perfect!!! Well at least perfect to my standards my professor on the other hand will be something else (hopefully good). Tonight I will be able to sleep without having to think about segmentation and my target market. This weekend I will actually post something a little bit more interesting instead of just rambling about school. 

Maybe I will make a video for next time... I think that would be a swell idea. What should the topic be though?

and school work is never ending....

I have been working on my installment #2 for my Marketing class and it is a lot of fun but long. It is also due soon, which I am for some reason not looking forward to. The life of a marketer is stressful... I better get used to it! It will be stressful but I will be extremely happy with the long term benefits.

Right now I just happen to feel like this:

When I start feeling like that it means it's time for bed no matter what. Hopefully tomorrow I will feel a lot more like this:

The smallest piece of me...

that happens to be on of the most important is this background. It looks almost exactly like the colour of my room in my parents house! That was my first REAL independent decision when I was younger. My mother was completely against it but I found a way to make her let me paint my room bright pink. I must have given her the 'puppy dog' eyes to get her to let me do it. After that one small choice my parents realized they had to let me grow up and make my own decisions. 

The best days with my mom and brother.

Best of friends & dynamic duo.

Over the years they attempted to pressure me into making some decisions that were their idea but not what I wanted. I always forged my own path in life and never really listened to what anyone else had to say. I was a leader unlike every other person in my family and my group of friends.

Me again in front of a large crowd before Beauty and The Beast at Disney World.

 The next big decisions were to start horseback riding, playing soccer, and even football. My parents thought that these extra curricular activities might hinder my academics but I flourished at school receiving honours and the Queen Elizabeth Aiming for the Top Scholarship. This was completely unexpected and helped finance my first time at Algonquin College.

Riding my favourite horse Buddy!

My first year at Algonquin College all I wanted to do was become a teacher. I thought going to Algonquin College followed by Carleton University, which afterwards would have been followed by Ottawa University to become a teacher would be the cheapest route. My first year of college was in Early Childhood Education (ECE). I loved every moment of that program! The one and only thing that stopped me in my tracks after my first term was a little girl I met in my second term placement. I had to go back to school full-time and say goodbye to her, which was one of the most difficult things I have ever done. I still miss her every day and can`t believe how much she has grown whenever I occasionally see her. 

The next three pictures are of a card the kids made for me when I left.

I left after the first year and looked forward to how my Esthetics course.When I first heard of Esthetics I wasn't completely sure of what it was. I later found out a lot more of what it was about and succeeded in getting my diploma. Just to brag a little bit, I did take a small business course and got a B in small business practices. Before I finished school I had already started working at a spa but decided it really wasn't for me. I decided taking a year off from school would be best for me at the time. It was the right move for me at the time.

These are pictures that were part of my makeup artistry class.

After a year off I was extremely excited to get back to school with my new program choice, Business Marketing. During my first term I did pretty well and really enjoyed the time I spent in class. My GPA in first term Marketing was a 3.44. The breakdown for my grades in first term are:

Financial Information for Marketing A-

Business Computer Applications A-

Skills Transferable to Business B

Marketing 1 A-

Currently in Marketing 2 I am sitting at about a 81% and hope to finish this term around that grade if not higher. I will keep this blog up to date and that will be one of the things I'm sure I will write about. There are a lot more pieces in my life that will be falling into place shortly so stay posted.
