WELL SHAKE IT UP BABY NOW

Title courtesy of the first lyrical song to appear pressing shuffle on my iPod.

Promised a new blog post, didn't I?

Well, first, to follow up from last time, I didn't really ended up confronting him. We talked about it for a bit but he just seemed really depressed about the whole thing so I decided not to push it. Hopefully he's learned a Life Lesson from this so this shit doesn't come up again.

And apparently he's back on Facebook and now has a sudden obsession with My Little Pony. Why does that show appeal to 20+ year old guys so much? I'm looking at you, goons from Something Awful.

Annnnyway.

So, I am graduating from the University of Regina next month! And instead of going out and getting a real job like any normal person, I'm heading right back to school. I've been accepted into the Health Information Management program at SIAST. I just went to the information session last Monday. It seems like alot of work but it does seem like something I would enjoy doing. So, can't wait. Hell, I can't wait to be making real money. Two more years!

To get into it, I had to take a typing test. Good times. I don't type properly so I'm only at 50 wpm. Except the first time I took the test (they do repeats), I made like 20 errors. Oops. Good thing they take an average.
And then I have an Accuplacer Assessment this week. Luckily, it's not something I have to do well on (they just want to see where you are in math, writing and reading skills) but for some reason, I feel like I'm going to fuck it up somehow. I guess we'll see.

The only thing about SIAST is that it is such a pain in the ass to get there. It's about a 15 - 20 minute walk from my house, which I wouldn't mind doing but they don't have a sidewalk to get out there. So, there's places where you have to walk on the fucking highway, which is incredibly dangerous. I don't know if I want to pay for 2 min bus trip, so I'm thinking this might be the time to suck it up and get my drivers license. That will probably be my goal this summer. Dad just bought a nice car (Audi A6!) though so I don't think he'd buy one for me like he did for Mike, but who knows.

I also need to get a grad photo taken soon, but not before I get a hair cut (Friday!). And then I have to buy black heels and a black skirt because my mother is crazy. We actually got into an argument the other day because I don't have a skirt and was just going to wear black pants. This was apparently just mind boggling to her, even though I'll be wearing a robe and not one really cares about the ceremony anyway. Sigh.

And still working at McDonalds. I've actually just been promoted to Team Leader, which is cool. More money is good. I'm kind of thinking I should find a better part time job but I'd feel bad for leaving after they've been treating me like a god over there lately. And it is massively convenient. Bah.

So, Mother's Day was fun. My dad was out of town so it was just Mike, Mom and I. We went to Boston Pizza. Apparently (I haven't been to BPs in awhile) they hire a magician for special events like Valentines Day and such, so he was there. I didn't really notice the sign for him so I just kept asking myself "Why is this crazy man talking to me and offering my mother a toilet paper rose?". It was so awkward and awful. I looked away for a minute and he set the paper rose on fire and "made" a real one appear, which Mike told us later that he just pulled out of his pocket. And then he went on to "entertain" another family which just managed to make the 4 year old daughter unimpressed.
When we sat down to eat, he kept walking by trying to find more people to assault. He walked by later on with a guy who was going to the bathroom telling Osama Bin Laden jokes. Classy.
But other than that, dinner was good. Mom got a free brownie. And Mike is taking her to see Elton John tomorrow.

I think that's all that has been new in my life recently. But it's always nice to update, I guess. Should do it more often. :) Tah!
