The past two weeks have been a little crazy. First, I had my practice exam for ground school, and lets just say I have a lot more studying that I need to do. I only received a 38/100. And on some of the answers I got right, were just guesses. Not a good sign! I didn’t have as much time to study as some of the other people in the class, but I still should of done better than that.

Secondly, I’ve changed jobs – again. I hated having to leave my other job; I just felt terrible since my boss is such a great person, as well as most of the people I worked with. I’m still painting, but with my old boss. I have no idea how long this will last, it may just be temporary, but I’ll be getting a lot of hours in the upcoming months. So it was a bitter-sweet feeling.

I somehow managed to lose another 5lbs. I haven’t been exercising, nor really paying attention to what I’m eating, but I was happy to see that nonetheless! I’m going to go to yoga tomorrow night after work, and maybe see about dragging a friend along with me. I can’t wait!

Right now I’m just waiting for my friend to get off work so we can head to the beach. It’s such a gorgeous weekend! And going to be an awesome week, as well with temperatures averaging around 30C. Looooves it! <3

I went with a more simple look this time around. I finally found a wordpress theme I could work with that was a total mess, and just tweaked it to my likings.

Next week is my last week of ground school! It’s flown by. Tuesday we’re doing the practice exam, and on Thursday we’re taking it up and doing review. The real exam will be written in Toronto in a few months. I’m so nervous for it, since I feel like I haven’t learned as much as the rest of the class, since they’ve all been up for flight lessons and I haven’t yet. I need to study, study, study!

My cousin’s wedding went awesome. I’m happy that I got some good pictures, and I hope she is happy with them too. I’m still going through and editing them (there’s well over 800 pictures). I’ve uploaded a few on flickr.

Things at work aren’t going to well. I feel as though it’s last summer all over again, except with more people trying to bring me down. It’s hard not to care what other people think when you’re surrounded by it everyday. So for now, I’m just showing up, doing my job, and taking home a pay check. *sigh*

I saw Sex And The City 2 last week with my sister and her friend. I really enjoyed it, though not as much as the first. I love Samantha. She’s definitely my favourite character! I also watched Shrek Forever After over the weekend. Cute movie, but not as many laughs as the previous movies.

I’ve changed the layout back to an older one for the time being. I plan on making another one… eventually. I’ve just been so busy trying to adjust to all the changes around me lately that I haven’t had much time to sit and work on anything website related – hence the lack of updates.

I did my first paid shoot a few weeks ago of my friend Lisa and her boyfriend Aaron. She says she loves the pictures I sent her, which I’m so happy about! It was fun shooting them, and they did really well despite all the blackflies. Such a cute couple!

I’ve been seeing a personal trainer for about 7 weeks now, and it’s going great! I’ve lots 4lbs so far, although the only difference I’ve noticed is I can actually see my bicep muscle now. I’ve been going biking once a week with a friend as well. It’s good… except for the mosquitoes. The only downside of living in the bush.

I’m having a hard time staying positive this week. Despite everything that’s [not] going on, I’ve been trying to stay optimistic and hopeful, especially when it comes to finding another job and moving out, it’s really hard. Everything is falling through, and I hear non-stop from my dad about how I owe him money and need to pay rent; yet he knows I’m only working about two days a week and it’s not looking like there will be work any time soon for my full time job.

I’m so unbelievably stressed and my body is showing it. My face is so broken out, I’m shedding my hair like crazy (big clumps keep coming out in the shower), my jaw is constantly clenched and I have tension headaches everyday. I feel like I’m falling apart, and I’m wondering how much longer I can stay sane. All the jobs I’ve applied for I didn’t get, the two apartments I had lined up fell through, and I’m almost ready to give up. I may have to ask for my old job back at Tim Horton’s. I’m that desperate, and I’m running out of options.

I’m also sick of everyone telling me to quit my full time job and move away. Sure, that sounds easy, but it’s not. I actually LIKE my job. And not just as a painter, I like who I work with. I wouldn’t want to do this for any other company. And moving away isn’t that simple. It cost money to move. I can’t even move into town, let alone another city. I’m tired of hearing it.

Sorry for such a negative entry, but I need to vent a little. =/

P.S. I’ve been updating the gallery lately too

I have such a headache. Today was definitely not my day. Right from the moment I got up, things started going wrong. The biggest being that I have to reapply for my Employment Insurance since my access code was lost in the mail… so I basically have to start from scratch. I could of been receiving money the entire time I’ve been laid off, and I haven’t been.

I’ve been looking for more part-time work since it doesn’t look like I’ll be going back to work anytime soon, if at all. I’m getting the feeling I won’t be hired back this year. If that happens, I don’t know what I will do. I will be screwed, to put it lightly.

Next weekend is my birthday weekend! I’m going to a friend’s place for the weekend to celebrate with her. I think one of her friends will be joining us too. I can’t wait, I just wish I wasn’t so broke because I wanna get wasted. LOL.
