Planning some stuff out...

I want to flesh out when/why I want some stuff:

Laptop (staring at lenovo T series, but really just want a stable one)
- for stability of computing in w/e - regular use, web design, gaming (maybe)
- last till the end of uni (cuz acer is failing lol)

Drawing pad
- for some drawing projects I want to get on... (been in the head for too long though with too much changes so -.-)

Big headphones with speaker
- for zoning out, not urgent since I have regular earphones now (go bose ^^)

Yoga Mat and/or Ball
- for some exercises, I will never buy a machine-operated crap =[

Cat (~3 years old, black or white)
- for companionship, cuteness, and to take care of something (wow weird)
- when I live alone for extended time, I might start in the fall - depending on where I'm living (or after uni / last year of uni when I'm in school for whole year) Don't think parents will be thrilled about taking her in if/when I'm at some random far-away place (Lisa, wanna be godmother? XD)

Little Black Dress - for all purposes, whenever

... to be added

List of things in life:

- laptop (hopefully when I get a dependable one), mouse, drawing pad (mmm)
- stationary (pen, pencil, eraser, paper)

- Music in one, perhaps separate, harddrive organized, delete everything else - < 10GB (I'll lower this later)
- phone + music player (right now they're the same lol)
- bag (still need to get a stable one - current comp carrier is a tad BIG...), have handbag, wallet (<- make it so it nvr bulges)

Monkey see monkey do...

2 more notes to add to my previous post:

1. I hate papercuts... especially when it's a huge scar-gash on my thumb made by a FOLDER... yes, no more papercuts, but cardboard cuts... oh it runs deep =[ And before coming up on the elevators from lunch I decided to use the hand sanitizers... they have alcohol in them =[ ...

2. I had always thought, until this week - the final week, that to open the doors from the inside one had to push on the door to instigate its automatic movement (because they are heavy). Apparently not. On monday/tuesday I saw a co-worker just STAND in front of the door and a second later it swung open. Now I know. I must've looked quite idiotic and/or constantly hurried when pushing on the door all those times... >.>

What I've learned... CO-OP 1

So I just had my 5 minute evaluation from my boss... which sort of inspires me to write a little summary of some general observations as well as what I learned at my time here at Finance and things I need to learn in the future to ... generally be awesome (=P):

(I did not list these in order of importance)

1. I like to work - when there is work. I don't seem to mind the type of work, as long I am motivated by the underlining purposes, which I was here. Indolence makes me tired, sick, and creates further lethargic behaviours.
2. I hate not being focused. I can't seem to do personal "work" when I am at work... this better not be some underlining ethics issue, or I shall be pissed.
3. I like my boss. A nice person who's just a little off (which I like!), and whose certain actions makes me giggle. XD. He is very helpful and real... tells it like it is! I appreciate that, more than I knew.
4. Working for the government without understanding French is not fun... I have a sneaking doubt that my boss cannot speak French either. Kudos to us! But learning this language is now a lifetime goal... SOB
5. I really like Post-It Notes, of many sizes. Both doodling and writing actual useful/important correspondences/reminders are AWESOME on Post-Its.
6. I am a perfectionist in regards to REALLY UNimportant things... like scanning a document: if it's tilted just a bit... redo the whole thing (which is like 20 pages). I need to change this outlook.
7. I hate printers. Evidently the feeling is mutual.
8. I like MS Outlook.
9. It takes me an abysmally long time to draft/edit email correspondences. Speed this!
10. I need to be more detail-oriented. I have never understood the full impact of this quality. Now I do. "Minor" mistakes are way too embarassing, when amassed (which I have a tendency to do). I will need to make the radar that are these wandering eyes to be more focused and able to detect those "minor" errors...
11. Talk properly, woman! It's all good in my head. It's all good on paper. My ideas are out there, my points expressed. But this SPEAKER SYSTEM needs MAJOR improvement... maybe some bolts and screws are OFF... ::mumble mumble::


Some other notes outside of work:
1. I LOVE my friends! I LOVE doing new and interesting stuff, whether I'm coerced to it or not! (it's like: no duh =P but it means a lot). I shall seek out new things to do in the future... be coerced as well as coerce others. ;)
2. I dont mind watching movies in theatre by myself... I actually feel more focused that way. YAY District 9!!!


on a still reflective note: I need to read that book yo... and study that evil thing =[

In the closing three weeks of summer (until the 5th)...

Not that such lists ever helped me accomplish things, but here's trying:

1) Study... I will say 1 hour a day, wont prolong to wkends... XD
2) Practice... 30 minutes a day during week days, and however bloody long I want for wkends (1 hours? XD)
3) Help Lisa with the site, either during boredom under these florescent lights, or during reprieve.
4) Calm the fuck down and draw/write something worthwhile (havent done this in a long time)
5) Last minute hang-outs (must contact!)
6) Maintenance duties (laundry, clean, etc)

Some actual blogging...

I've been feeling lowww these past few days... parents also feeling lowww (taxes and stuff)... so I just want to write the stuff I plan to accomplish this coming week (without DE classes) and subsequently this summer (no particular order):

This week:
1. Go to workshop; try not embarass self too badly and try not to feel embarassed (Mon) - make sure to meet at 5 dt
2. Find music shop and buy E string for violin
3. Constant job search
4. Take every chance to drive
5. Buy some necessities; earphones, moisturizer
6. Lock fb like 1985.

This month:
1. Get a job. Work.
2. Get Micro txt
3. Do DE; concentrate more on psych (since micro just requires a pass)
4. Get License.
5. Rekindle my lost violin skill
6. Get money to buy guitar -.-
7. Sax maybe??? (okay, no XD)
8. Remember to do some stuff I enjoy, and some I never tried.
9. Go to 'loo, and Ottawa... and San Francisco =P (if possible)

Good luck, self.

P.S. to read: The Unbearable Lightness of Being - Milan Kundera

yawn.

still slightly affected by jetlag, I'm just plain bored at this point. So here's a list of things I must do before school starts:

1. Get G1 ... probably in the next week (by that I mean I can drag it until the absolute last day of the summer -__- procrastinating is my poison =( but I likes the poison >.> )

2. Watch HP 5 ... yawr I'll probably do this on Tuesday... because it's cheaper or with my parents if they're not tired enough -____-

3. Read Tess of the D'Urbervilles. I should do this simply because I can't stand it. Just imagine reading this while stress is pressing down on my brain during school year. Wow... should read it now so it'll be easily handled in school year. Damn.

4. Find volunteering. For uni purposes. Maybe or get a job.

And that's it... if I can do that within the remnants of this summer, it'll be good... roflz. I miss china :'(
