Hard work pays off!

Just got the mail today, UVIC letter received! Not only did I get early admission, but an entrance scholarship aswell! And on top of all that, I get a preferred registration date for a better chance of getting into the classes I want.

Yay yay yay!

All I can say is I'm so happy that all my hard work over the years paid off... Now I can't wait to see what the scholarships & bursary applications I've been working on have in store!

Sweet, sweet lazy days..

Ahh I love Sunday afternoons. No homework, just did a draft of my resume and autobiographical essay for scholarships, and off to watch The Hangover. I spent two hours yesterday doing scholarships. What did this consist of? Writing my name and information. Two. Hours. 

Oh well, at night I headed out to my boyfriends place and we laid around and made cinnamon buns. I ended up spending the night because it was snowing too heavily on the highway to drive home.

This morning I left Armando's, bought some Tim Hortons (didn't win on the Roll Up The Rim To Win), read and worked on scholarships.

Now I'm off to watch a movie.

ps- That picture = one of my favorite parts of summer. The nights/sunsets.

Saturday Morning

Things I did this morning:

1) Had an amazing hour long massage.

2) Bought some new make-up and browsed around town.

3) Grabbed the newspaper from work.

4) Went home, read the newspaper and had coffee.

5) Soon to be working on scholarships.

I'd call that a fairly productive morning. Now I'm off to watch The Hills and fill out my scholarship applications. Wish me luck!

One of those days..

So thinking that I had to work today I left school early so I wouldn't have to rush, turns out I work tomorrow instead of today. I was so shocked when I went into work, uniformed and everything, and found out that I had read wrong. The reason I was shocked is because this is extremely unusual for me (I have OCD remember?), because I very rarely forget things. Especially something of that magnitude. Oh well, good thing I didn't work today because now I can study for my Calculus test and get my homework done.

As for spinyoga yesterday, that didn't happen either. It started snowing a lot during lunchtime at school and Alexandra and I decided it was best to head home as soon as possible. The weather here is so off and on lately it's crazy! So hopefully I will have another opportunity to do spinyoga soon.

As for my life right now, things are calming down and picking up at the same time. It seems like I have a bunch of little projects that I want to get done and don't have enough time for but at the same time I'm finishing off a bunch of old projects and work as well. I guess you could say I'm a little stressed and emotional lately but I'm that within the week things will calm down. First step to de-stressing: my hour-long massage on Saturday morning.

Rise & Shine!

 

Just a little something to get you going.

slkm, xx

ps- I'm trying spinyoga today, let's see how this goes.

Stay Beautiful

So I have decided to stop with the 30 Day Challenge, it sounds silly but I just don't like other people outlining what I do and don't have to do. Also, I have so much OCD that I actually get stressed if I miss a day. So that's that.

I'm just as busy lately, today we had a Scholarship Orientation meeting at school as grad is approaching. I've already looked through the booklet and decided to apply for 31 of the 98 available local scholarships- which is quite a lot. Second semester is running smoothly, I found out today that I got 99% on my Chem unit test! Also, work is picking up and I'm getting more hours again and they also taught me how to work the lottery stand.

All in all, life is good. Work is fun, school's good, relationships are strong and healthy, and the sun is shining.

Day 16 & 17

Day 16 - A picture of someone who inspires you.

My parents. They have overcome a lot of obstacles in their lives and are really inspirational. In you believe in yourself you can do anything.

Day 17 - A picture of something that has made a huge impact on your life recently.

Growing up/planning for my future. As of lately everything I do seems like it has something to do with my future or Graduation. Whether it's money, grades, traveling or even friends they're all interlinked at the moment.

Day 15

Day 15 - A picture of something you want to do before you die.

Before I die I would love to visit a country western bar. Honestly, it just looks like so much fun- line dancing, mechanical bulls & cowboys! I would also love to visit Nashville (the home of country music) before I die.

Day 12, 13 & 14

Day 12 - A picture of something you love.

Relaxing, & listening to my music. I love being able to just sit around and home all day and read my books, listen to music and do whatever I want. My life is fairly busy lately so I love to relax when I can.

Day 13 - A picture of your favorite band or artist.

Dierks Bentley. He's a country singer, the main reason why he's one of my favorites is because every single one of his songs is different yet they all sound so good.

Day 14 - A picture of someone you could never imagine your life without.

My mommy :) Really, I can't live without my entire family but I decided to choose my mom for this one. My Mom has always been there for me to help me through any problems and has worked extremely hard her whole life in order for our family to live well. I love you Mom!

Day 10 & 11

Day 10 - A picture of the person you do the most ****** up things with.

Shannon and Virginia. If these two are around you know there's gonna be trouble. I have so many memories of doing the craziest things with these two. They may look innocent, but god they know how to party.

Day 11 - A picture of something you hate.

Disrespectful people. They irritate me so much, lately I've noticed a few kids like this in my classes. The part that annoys me the most is when someone is rude to someone else for absolutely no reason, they just feel like being defiant. I honestly cannot stand to watch it and think that everyone needs to show each other some more respect on a day-to-day basis.

Day 7, 8 & 9

Day 07 - A picture of your most treasured item.

My most treasured item is 100% my room. I recently re-did the entire thing from paint to floors to a new bed. It was some of the most stressful weeks ever with so much stuff to do, but by the end of it all that hard work was definitely worth it. Now this picture isn't actually MY bedroom but it's similar.

Day 08 - A picture that makes you laugh.

This an old picture of me and Alexandra that I found a few weeks ago. It basically makes me laugh because I remember all the crazy little things we did in Grade 9. I'm also proud to say this picture has made it on Facebook.

Day 09 - A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most.

 

My family. It's basically impossible for me to choose just one person when I have such an amazing family. I can always count on them to be there for me even on the worst of days. I don't know what I would do without these amazing people in my life.

Day 6

Day 06 - A picture of a person you'd love to trade places with for a day.

Given the opportunity I would love to trade places with Lauren Conrad for a day. I've recently begun re-watching all the seasons of The Hills and her life just looks so amazing! Who wouldn't want to live in Los Angeles and intern for Teen Vogue? She also grew up in Laguna Beach, another fact that I'm extremely jealous over. We stopped in Laguna during our California trip and it was absolutely gorgeous. Lauren also comes across as a great role model for teens and young women and I would definitely want to live her life for a day.

Day 5

A picture of your favorite memory.

My favorite memory is definitely my surprise vacation to California in Grade 7. My sister and I thought we were just staying in Vancouver for the weekend and ended up boarding a plane to San Diego the next day. However at this point our parents had us convinced we were only going to San Diego for the weekend. Through a series of clues our vacation was revealed. After arriving in the San Diego Airport we rented a red convertible Mustang and were living the dream. That week we visited Mission Beach, one of the nicest beaches I've ever seen in my life, and strolled on the boardwalk. We then went to San Diego Sea World, Disneyland for 5 days and Universal Studios.

It was one of the best times of my life and I would do it a thousand times over if I could.

Day 4

Day 04 - A picture of your night.

My plan for tonight is to finally complete all my university applications, report my grades, and apply for housing at UVIC. Wish me luck :)

Day 3

Day 03 - A picture of the cast from your favorite show.

  
90210 is definitely one of my favorite shows aside from Gossip Girl, Vampire Diaries, Jersey Shore and The Big Bang Theory. I particularly like this show because it takes place in Beverly Hills around the beach and all the main characters are Grade 12 students like me. This is the perfect show to veg out on on Monday nights. Be sure to watch 90210 on the CW Network every Monday!
