Some People

Lately I've been getting really angry and annoyed by some people, and thats not usually like me. Sure I get the annoyances now and then, and I bitch about it, but to actually feel angry, not so much.

First, how rude people can be! I was quite aggravated when I was on formspring.me and I saw that certain people were commenting on a friend of mine, telling her to lose weight, and that she was a cunt. Really? I mean really?! How pathetic are you, that all you have is sitting behind a computer insulting others anonymously?

Second, my job makes me want to shoot myself. I clean in a denture clinic. Ok. But my main issue is how lazy and slobby the people in there really are. How hard is it to close a drawer? So difficult you have to leave it hanging open so that I can smack my shin into it? Or its so hard to leave your slobbery gloves on the counter for me to pick up instead of just taking the half second to re-direct your aim to the garbage bin? I mean, seriously...come on!

Thirdly, when you ask to borrow $500. oo, its natural for me to hesitate! So don't call me stingy! Especially when I agreed to lend it to you! I just want it back!!!

OH MY GOD! GRR!!

.....ok...I'm done now.

I must be crazy!

So yesterday I took another exciting step toward my future by registering for my courses for when I start University in September. And I am pretty sure I'm insane. Because every course I am taking first semester is taught in French. Oh merde!

Not that I'm bad at French, over the last year I have improved greatly that I can hold my own in a conversation, but it will still prove to be difficult for the first while I'm sure. My courses are Philosophy, 18th century French, French Literature Genres, German (my only non French course and its still not english), and Anthropology 101 (minoring in anthro. would have taken that in english but it was full so I had to take the french course).

So either I am going to pick up on French like no other and be fabulous, or I'm going to crash and burn, flunk out and move back to Wallaceburg and spend the rest of my days working at a place like Little Caesars and be a sign shaker and want to commit suicide by jumping into the on coming traffic. So everyone wish me Bonne Chance with my studies!!

Australia, There she goes!

So I am making this blog to reflect off anothers blog, because yesterday we received our grade 12 highschool year books...our last ones, and I read one of the messages that one of my dearest friends wrote to me, and i want to give her a shout out about how much I love her, and how freaking AWESOME she is!

Her name is Sarah and her blog is 'Just Keep Pushing' (you can see it in the blogs that I am following), and I have known and been friends with her for a long time, but I felt that this past year we have gotten extremely close, and I know that if she ever needed anything I would do everything in my power to help her. As I say that the thought of her flying 30 hours away to the great land of Australia kills me, (not that I don't want her to go and have the time of her life, I'm just going to miss her more than anybody!)

So Sarah, I would just like to shout it out that I cannot wait to be pen pals with you, I would be so honored if I were to be your maid of honor (OMG!) and even if I'm not I can't wait to visit you and get a tan (probably a burn but one can hope!) Have the GREATEST time in Australia, and I am going to miss you like no other! LOVE YOU! Y-.-Y

Work

So today I feel a little overwhelmed and a bit...ok a lot bit tired. School is coming to and end in 7 days, so all the teachers like to put a bunch of crap on you, as well as review, and I also work about 3 jobs. Now these are odd jobs, nothing overly serious, just stuff to get me by this summer...but they are quite tiring and make your back feel like crap, jobs. Grr.

It sucks that this day and age we can get as paid as much as we do but still have no money...I mean really?? I make the Canadian minimum wage of 10.25 an hour and still at the end of the week it feels like I have 0 =(

Oh well, I guess thats what it's like being young, without a career, and only just starting out. But damn...I really wish that I was born rich, and could just sit on a pillow and bon-bons all day, (not candy, bon-bons, their way better). But thats life for ya.

Prom

Oh Prom, how you never fail every year to bring students of the senior class together, all bedazzled and intoxicated, to sweat on the dance floor, and puke on the pavement outside.

As I'm sure you might have guessed it was my prom yesterday! And it was really nice, I personally had a great time. My date and I and a few other friends got done up, took lots of pictures, and danced the night away. Although Prom wasn't without drama for some, (like I said, drunkenness, which always leads to problems for some people.) Now I am not against drinking, I enjoy going out and drinking, but when you know crap is going to happen, or you can't hold your liquor, then whats the point??

Oh well, I suppose it is their lives to live, I'm just glad I wasn't apart of that crap. Overall it really was a great night, when it was time to leave we went back to a friends house and camped out in her back yard, and in the morning her mother and father were generous enough to cook us breakfast! YUMMO! It's a good feeling knowing, and being friends with such amazing people!

About me

So to know a little bit about me so your not completely confused when reading later posts; my name is Andrea Lauren Lalonde, I am 18 years old, graduating from a small town highschool in two weeks, preparing for the huge step of moving to Ottawa to attend Ottawa University.

I live with my mother, stepfather, older brother, and two younger sisters. My father lives in St.Johns Newfoundland because he is in the Canadian Navy.

I love traveling, I took a three month exchange to Switzerland last year and its killing me that i can't go back this year to visit, or actually even go anywhere new to see, gah! Thats the sad thing about travelling...can never really afford it. But I know I will get to see all the places that I want to, even if I have to hitch hike around the world!

So I think thats about all I can really tell because I will hopefully be updating this often so that you can get to know me more and watch me grow as a progress through life, and one day I can also look back and see how I've changed as well!

So until next time! Becs!

Yay for Neon Trees

So this is a start to what I hope to be a long, on going thing of writing down my life, and share it with people anywhere and everywhere!
So the title of my blog comes from the song Animal by Neon Trees, (a friend suggested I use song lyrics for a title, and that just happens to be the song I was listening to at the time, if you have yet to hear it i'll try and put a link in and you can take a listen, great song!)

So here we are! Heres to a start of something, hopefully, fantastically great and wonderful!
