I'm at Serissa Caté again and I just completed my French composition (780 words as opposed to 1000, but oh well). The girls sitting across from me are loud, obnoxious, and immature. I know I was never like that when I was their age.

Last night, I had a dream that I was at work. Chapters now has a new clock-in system where, instead of swiping a card, you log into an account on a computer instead. Somehow, I dreamt that all the computers in the store had a special store password that we all shared, but had forgotten it and couldn't clock myself in, so I paged Scott, our general manager, and he informed me that he had no idea what the mysterious password was. I ran around the store, I can't really remember why, attempting to log in to all of them, but to no avail. By this time, 15 minutes had already past, so I was hence, late. On top of that, I went to work accidentally wearing one of my pink tops, which is inappropriate. Somehow, I was trying to chase down co-workers around the store, but I would miss each and every one of them. Finally, Kevin found me and helped me log in (always helpful, Kevin is). Then, I woke up.

This morning, Kevin really did call me to do a last minute evening shift. :D

Bonnie, of course, was disappointed I'm not going karaoke after all. I honestly thought it would take me longer than it did to complete my composition, but I was able to complete it within an hour, even with the ruckus the juvenile, high school girls were making.

I'm just biding my time, waiting till I need to go to work. What I should be doing, though, is memorizing pg. 234 in my textbook for my dictée tomorrow, and I shall do that after I get off this thing.

A couple of days ago, Paula from work showed me a clip on YouTube of these two men in the 70s reuniting with their once-domesticated lion, Christian. I say once, because after they realized Christian was just too big to care for in a city like London, they asked George Adamson, a.k.a. the Lion Whisperer, to rehabilitate him into the African wild. It was a beautiful story and their reunion was extremely touching. I cried the first and second time I watched it.

Maisa sent me a message on Facebook. I miss her so much. :( I don't remember the exact day she's coming back from Israel, but I know it won't be till sometime in mid-April. Time has been flying by. I can hardly believe we're already in the middle of March, but at the same time, April is forever looming by. I spoke to Eileen on the phone yesterday, and we're both extremely nervous about the incoming JET letters. I know I should be concentrating on school to keep my mind off it.

I'm sitting at Serissa Caté by the window and it's just beautiful out. It's too bad I'm stuck inside, writing my French composition. Bonnie insists that I finish it soon, so that I have time to go sing karaoke tomorrow night. I'm not entirely sure if I'm up for late-night karaoke, though, since I just remembered that I scheduled to have my graduation photos taken Wednesday right after class. If I were a nice, obedient, little girl, I would stay in tomorrow night to get a good night's rest.

The weekend has been fairly uneventful. On Saturday, I finished writing up my students' report cards, and all within my 1-hour break. I felt pretty accomplished. :) That night, I went out with the gang to see Watchmen in theatres. I will admit that I was one of those girls, expecting to see a more politically controversial version of X-Men, but instead was met with excessive blood, gore, and sex. I really did not enjoy the movie and neither did most of the gang, but Maurice said he enjoyed its "what-if" scenario.

I could have also sworn that Nixon's nose wasn't that big. Although they did change history, the least they could have done was make Nixon look a little more believable. That nose was distracting, as was another particular part of the movie. Julia enjoyed that part immensely. Two movies I'm looking forward to watching are Transformers and Half-Blood Prince. Oh, especially the HBP. I haven't been this excited for a movie, in a long time. In fact, I believe the previous movie that had me brimming over with excitement was The Order of the Phoenix. :P

An auction is ending tonight for a used Adios Star Buon Viaggio. I'm still debating how much I'm willing to pay for an Adios Star, but it is a BV which would be perfect to use for school. It's only at around $31 at the moment, and I hope it stays that way. It would even match my new Caramella. <3

Gossip Girl finally returns tonight with a new episode. :D It's my guilty pleasure.

So I ended up not really studying at all last night. I feel like such a bum. :P I read through the chapter very briefly in the morning which actually helped a bit because I was able to apply a lot of it to the test this morning. It was fairly straight forward and something expected of Madame Cyr since she's so nice and lenient. :)

I know I did quite badly on the last few questions, but that would be because I didn't get to reading through the last few sections of the chapter. I still can't figure out what the question about "gradation" meant and I know that a few people in my class were quite baffled as well.

All in all, I don't think I did horribly though I don't know if I'll end up scraping a B for this one. I feel really horrible about Melissa's situation. Oral French was never my strong suit, but she seems to be having an even worst time of it than me (is that even possible?).

But my god, can that girl whine. The concepts aren't that difficult to remember. The rules themselves are very easy to memorize, though I can see how easily one could mix them up because there're so many of them. Still, I wish she would stop rambling on and on about how unfortunate she is, if only for just a single moment. It's really draining to be listening to her ranting while trying to pay attention to a lesson spoken in a language I've only begun to get a grasp on.

On a lighter note, the new Tokidoki flats are available for purchase at Eilatan, which is where I bought the Tokidoki x Onitsuka Tiger sneakers last summer. They won't ship the flats outside of the U.S. though, which breaks my heart. :( I'll probably need to wait until Tokidoki.it has them. GRR, more waiting...

I went to LUSH after school today. I had a bit of a headache going to school (probably car-sickness from the bus ride there... those damn Viva drivers), but it's gotten better since I wrote the test and got some polluted fresh air.

I handed in my resume today, figuring that the student rush will be starting soon and I really want to land a job there. They know my face well enough and the girl informed me that I'll probably receive a call from them by next month... which is when I find out if I got into JET. So... more waiting for me.

I'll need to start working on my composition soon. Madame Cyr requested that we write about our thoughts and feelings on the York strike and I need to memorize a page in my textbook for the upcoming dictée. I'm seriously going to try to get a perfect score this time.

For now though, I think I'm going to do my facial regime. I bought the Cosmetic Warrior face mask when I was at LUSH since I've been breaking out a bit these past few weeks (I suppose that would be the junk food). I took a glance at the expiry date and it turns out the mask was made just yesterday, so it's uber, uber fresh! :D Go me!
