TIRED is the only word I can find which best describe my summer.
I’ve been working 7 days a week since June (tough time making the schedule work) with different shifts (sometimes in the morning and sometimes in the afternoon, making me crazy). My job at the GMREB is quite relax and fun even if real estate agents are not that *** (not really nice if I mention the word here), because I do have good friends there. On the other hand, my job at the Governor Hotel is stressing. Not that the work load is hard or anything, just the fact that all 2 supervisors are in their period (menopause), plus the big fat trainee (not an exaggeration) it equals Horrible. So, you as a smart reader can do the math yourself --- 1 big fat supervisor (who the hair color doesn’t match her face at all) + 1 small fat supervisor (who thinks that she’s the best) + 1 big fat trainee (who is full of herself) = end of Nora’s world. -_-’
Beside work, I also had some troubles with school stuff. It is official that administrative people’s mind level can be competitive with real estate agents’ (you know what I mean). Everybody knows that I still have 3 classes left along with my stage to complete my BA and finally can be a free bird, but they decided to remove 2 of my 3 classes, and the reason was because there are not enough students registered. But, lucky as I am, I was able to replace the classes by 2 others. o_O
Now that were done talking about business, lets talk a little bit about family stuff and good parts of my summer.
My dear sister Nancy went to Biarritz, France, for her stage (3 months that is) which means that I wasn’t seeing her for three long painful months. Before her departure, I bought a Lacoste watch (which she stored in her room without wearing) and an Inukshuk necklace (brings luck and protection) for her trip. We spent some times on msn and on the phone, but that wasn’t enough for me. She missed me a lot. Can’t wait to see her and gifts that she’s bringing back.
Love life for the sisters were not that good. My sister just broke up with her longtime (5 years is very long, close to be married couple) boyfriend for a very stupid reason (which I’m not telling, because it is none of you business). As for me, I’ve been dating a guy, but I’m not too sure about my feelings at all. It is so to speak the first time that I’m being so close to a guy. He’s very nice and gentle, but there’s still something bothering me. I understand that nobody’s perfect (not even myself), but… I think it’s a question of time, trust, comfort and feelings. Give me some more times and I’ll get over the edge.
The passport adventure is very interesting. I was suppose to fill the form and have it done in June or early July, but my lazy ass didn’t help. In the late July, I went to the office and found out that I didn’t have the right birth certificate (they ask for the one after 1994), run to do it (35$ for the express service) and run back for my passport (around 110$ also for an express). Really, I’m paying a lot for a passport. I think I'll also have to apply for my Canadian Citizenship card. Sigh!!!
My best shopping buddy, HSK, and I spent a lot of times together running from stores to stores every week. I made a lot of money (well, a lot for a student), but also spent that much. OMG. Have to learn how to save money if I want to buy a house and a car. Ohlala!
Oh! Forgot to mention that I have a new goal (or 2) in life. I want to be able to speak out what I want to people without being shy and not letting them guess what’s going on with me, etc. I also want to try different restaurants, try new things, and make my life colorful.
So, besides work and shopping, I didn’t have much time to hang out with my friends. Sorry!!!
The good side of all this is the fact that I earned more money for personal usage, shopping for most of it (I’m a shopaholic, what do you think???), saving and bill payments. ^_^
