College life!!!
Ok so far nothing insane has happened. Moved in and almost made myself at home. I was moved into a 2 bedroom, not a 4 bedroom, but I’m cool with it (apparently the couches are SUPER comfy in the 4 room though). My roommate is MIA right now, and I have no idea when she’ll show up. Ah well. Pictures will be up soon!
I have a new iPod!! I took it to the Apple Store in WestEd, they looked at it for 30 seconds and the guy was like, “Yeah, it’s dead so we’re gonna get you a new one.” Pretty sweet!! I bought a weatherproof case for it too so it stays looking nice.
Ryan Adams and Oasis was AMAZING!!!! Both sets could have been twice as long. Ryan probably would’ve sounded better in a smaller venue, but he still kicked ass, even though I didn’t like how he played Shakedown on 9th Street. Oasis rocked, and there is NOTHING like hearing Wonderwall live.
So now I’m sitting in my room with my high speed and my shiny new iPod. Life is good.
… I move tomorrow, and that’s only a day away!
I am a combination of so excited I’m numb and so nervous I could explode. I’m not really sad because it’s only Edmonton, which is a five-hour drive, so my parents will be up to see me once in a while. It’s so weird because you wait 13 years for this day to come and when it does, you’re like “Oh crap, I’m all on my own. No more Mommy & Daddy to hold my hand. I have to make my own meals and do the dishes and if I don’t, I’ll starve and the roaches will move in.” Luckily I’m a (fairly) tidy person so the whole roaches thing shouldn’t be a problem.
What am I gonna do without Maryanne to beak me? I’ll never know when I’m breathing too loudly… unless I get a roommate like her (joy).
In other news, I’m all packed up and ready to go. Had a little mishap with a resident document but I got that taken care of. Now all I have to do is get everythng in the car. And with my vacuumed sealed clothes, blankets and pillows, I hopefully won’t have to bus anything. Either that or Donna will ride on the roof.
AND I get to see Ryan Adams / Oasis on Friday. I just might faint.
Lessons are over!!!! I’m gonna miss my little guys, even though they were super frustrating at times. It’s so weird to think that I won’t be back there in the spring, yelling “Kick!!!” or something like that. Sue took us out for lunch, and then Jeannine headed to Lethbridge. Needless to say, I wasn’t very sad to see her go.
Edmonton is creeping closer and closer. I can’t wait, but at the same time I’m nervous. I’m scared I’m gonna take the wrong bus and end up on the other side of town. Which is bad. (Obviously). I have the entire weekend before classes start to go back and forth to the college and practice my bus skills.
I hope my roommates are cool. I’m sure they will be, because I filled out that little questionnaire thingy that said I listen to Alexisonfire and stuff like that.
Worries worries worries. I hate it. I’m a very worrisome person when the occasion calls for it.
At this moment, Donna and I have no where to stay in Edmonton next Friday night. The people we were gonna stay with have to go to a funeral.
Four more days of lessons!!!! It seems so weird to know that I won’t be back there this spring.
I move in 10 days. That’s crazy. I don’t feel prepared, but tomorrow mom and I are going shopping so hopefully that will relieve some fears. Dea also gave some stuff.
11 more days until I see Oasis & Ryan Adams LIVE! It’s one of my dreams come true. Sure I won’t get to meet them, but just being in the room with them will be good enough. If I talked to them I would sound like an idiot so it’s best that I just sit in a sea of hundreds of people and take them in that way. Less embarrassing for me.
I still miss Ste-Anne’s. I uploaded my pictures on Facebook and dropshots.com/lauriemarie
I think she is so lazy and annoying. I am so glad I only have one week left of being her co-worker (although she treats me like her employee)
I think that the only reason I would consider Ste-Anne’s a mistake is because I have no money. NONE. $37 in my bank account. Yes, I got $100 for my birthday, but I really don’t want to spend that on gas. I’m saving it for college supplies.
I think that college is going to be the scariest, most exhilerating thing on the planet. And I know I’m going to change a lot.
I leave in 2 weeks.
I don’t think anyone here is really prepared.
On a side note – I think Oasis and Ryan Adams are going to kick major ass. I can’t believe I can already cross them off my “Things To Do Before I’m Dead” list.
