I've been told I need to add some spice to the blog -_-

And She Lives!

33 hours in and...surprisingly, not as dead as I thought I would be. I went to campus at 6:30pm last night to work on my group's documentary which was due today. I did not leave campus until 7am, where my group member drove me home, I changed and grabbed a lunch, then raced to catch the city bus at 7:22, which then took me back to campus to get on the 8 o'clock bus to Stratford. The 3 of us just spent 12 hours together in a concrete-walled computer lab with no cell service. Ladies and gentlemen, my first all-nighter. Let it be made clear that editing with more than one person is hard. Especially when the files are on one device and you have to keep moving them around. This meant that I would do come editing, but then really just spent a lot of time sitting around. But I felt like I couldn't leave because...I don't know. I didn't want to abandon them. And the buses stopped at 12:30, so I was kind of stuck there anyways. I was there for moral support. And to keep them on track.  One of my group members lives fairly close to campus, so she went home around 6 to change and eat. We finished editing the video at 6am, which we then had to export. It took half an hour. We then realized that we hadn't saved some of the files, which meant there were big gaps in our video. So we had to re-save the files and export it again. It was saying it would take about an hour to export, which meant finishing at 7:30. So, cutting it pretty close. We couldn't leave the video, because the school computers log you off if it's inactive for awhile. My other group member and I were stuck waiting for our group member to return to finish up with the exporting. She came back at 7, and the two of us went home as well (albeit briefly).
All in all, a wild night. And when you're working wild hours like that, eventually the only way to get through it is to laugh. That point arrived at about 3am. There was a lot of swearing and laughing. This, however, is my favourite moment, partially simply because it was caught on camera:

We all died laughing when my group member revealed that he had caught it on camera. It was a great moment. And it accurately displays how most of the night went: serious hard work interspersed with yelling and dancing. Multiple snapchats were sent that night. When the one group member had gone home, the other group member asked me if I wanted to race him in the wheely chairs. I mentioned that there wasn't a lot of space. He looks as me and says, "No, I mean in the hallway." And I thought, yes. This is going to be so much fun. So we're bouncing off the walls scooting around and racing down the hallway. Then he says, "I wish it was connected, so we could do laps." Luckily, we were in PAS,  the most confusing building on campus, so I knew exactly where to go.

It's not clear in this picture, but this staircase is circular. There are staircases heading in every direction. And they're all connected by a hallway at the bottom. And so we started whipping around these stairs in our wheely chairs like there was no tomorrow (which there quite possibly might not have been if we didn't get the doc done). It was a blast. I don't think I've ever had so much fun at 6 in the morning before.
Now while I don't suggest all-nighters, I have to admit that this today was not as bad as I thought it would be. Although I was shaky all day from my food consumption being purely sugar. I got myself an iced capp from Timmies before heading off to Stratford. I got it for the caffeine, but I think it was the sugar more so that got me. I also had a red velvet muffin (which was delicious). I had a sandwich and pudding for lunch. The Stratford campus had gingerbread cookies for us to decorate, so I also ate a cookie. We played a bit of Wii during lunch too, since they had one set up. In reality, not a bad day, given the circumstances. Although I got a headache in the afternoon. Could have been worse, though.

Oct 3

Today I went to see Crazy For You at Festival Theatre in Stratford. It was really really good. And so funny! My type of humour: sass, snappy, quick witted. It was beautiful. One of them was two guys standing beside each other and one says, "...well you're pretty close to an idiot!" And so the other guy steps back. I was laughing so much. One of the scenes was two guys that were dressed the same being drunk and it was hilarious. I think the season is basically done now, but I would highly suggest going to see it. (10/10, would recommend to a friend). One of the friends I went with tweeted about it and Stratford Festival replied to her saying, "What a great way to start the weekend, see you soon". And then after the show, one of the actors favourited her tweet, so that was pretty cool.
But now I'm back to the grind...I have so much work to do this weekend.

261. 3 dreams you want to fulfill?
I do not have the brain power right now to answer this question.

262. Favourite Actress
It's between Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence.

WiFi

Of all the cool (or logical) wifi names that could possibly exist, my apartment's wifi is "potato".

254. Things I Hate.
Wow, somebody likes to dwell on the negative.
- when I want to listen to music, but none of my music is what I want to listen to
- bus rides where we are packed tighter than sardines
- when I start to freak out a little inside about not having enough time to do everything, when really everything is ok
- yeah that's all I can think of right now

If Google Was a Guy

Happy April Fools!

Tumblr gave you the option to go tumblr PRO, which obviously I did. After watching a video, it gave your icon a little top hat. Once you became PRO, you could also see everyone else who was pro, because their icon would also have a top hat. It was pretty cute.

And it just so happens that it lined up perfectly to make it look like I was wearing the hat. :)
Youtube made a video about how they control what becomes a viral video, and revealed what this year's memes are going to be. And Google announced that whoever could find the most Pokemon hiding around the world in Google Maps would be allowed to work at Google starting in September. Man, I love what websites do for April Fool's.
Oh, and the First Lady announced she's running for President 2016 (with Hilary Clinton as her VP).

I can't believe I did this.

And so close to the end too. I mean really, the last week of my first year of university. And look at what I've done.

I skipped class.

My italian class. To be fair, we were just watching more presentations and doing some exam review. But since the exam isn't cumulative and she already handed out the review, so I didn't see the need to go. And I mean it's not like I decided to skip ahead of time. I was working on my digital art assignment cause I had some time before class started, and I just really got into my art I guess. I had only missed about 15 minutes of class by the time I noticed I was late. But then I figured, why go? So I didn't. I feel kind of guilty. But I also had this huge adrenaline rush and felt like a total rebel. :)

130. What do you want to do after high school?
(One would hope that the upcoming answer is "what I'm doing right now").
Yeah, probably what I'm doing right now. Not as in skipping class, but going to university, being in GBDA. It's a good life.

131. If you're being extremely quiet, what does it mean?
Usually I'm embarrassed/nervous.

Maybe the Internet raised us, or maybe people are jerks

Oh, and Happy April Fool's Day!

Tumblr changed the period in their logo to a heart for Valentine's Day. And when you hovered over it, you got a little Valentine :)

And also these tweets:

Overhearing

One of the girls on my floor is talking to a friend on her phone about how she's going to get a belly button piercing. From what I've gathered, the people she's told haven't been supportive of her decision, but she just keeps on saying that "it's my own body and I can do whatever I want". To each his (her) own. But then I heard this:
Girl getting piercing: "And my parents are going to think I’m a devil child."
Friend: "You probably are."


you probably are
