Time magically ticks on

I guess its well time for an update. I had meant to make a post the night following my last one to show off my new haircut, but that ended up going rather badly. The girl i ended up getting barely spoke any english it seemed, and I couldn't understand a thing she said. She apparently must have felt the same way because she did not do what I asked her to. I had wanted to get a few inches off the main part, so that it'd still be long and for her to put deep layers all the way through. Not only did she not wash my hair because she didn't feel it was necessary even though I told her I believe I did since I'd been working the night before and hadn't had a chance to wash it. She complained that my hair was too dry because I apparently wash it too much. Then she cut off the 2 inches with a razor, saying it would give the layering effect that I wanted. Then went on this big speal about how my hair is too long to do anything with. Then she left because her shift was over, and it had felt like she had rushed me through the whole thing. My hair basically looked like I'd just randomly decided to start hacking at it with a butter knife. So yeah, I was very unhappy and they noticed as i went out too. They wouldn't charge me and said I could come back the next day for the same girl for free to let her 'fix it how I wanted'. I turned them down thinking that if she couldn't do what I wanted the first time, she'd already taken off several inches, I didn't want her anywhere near my hair now. All in all, I didn't feel it was picture material, and once I finish school and work more hours, I might go in and request a different girl do the layering I want, and prolly get some highlights in.

My job is still great right now. I love the work and the pay is nice. Once i finish school I plan to continue working there, with more hours, over the summer until I'm ready to move. Hopefully that'll allow me to have the money i need saved for a move back to real civilization, and as well to get my surgery (I wont go into the surgery right now, I'll talk about it more when I have more information on it)

School was getting very wearily horrible to the point I'd lost all hope in it and didn't think I'd finish any of the stuff i was behind in with the fact that as of today there are only 2 weeks left before practicum. Mostly I was just worried about accounting, as I havn't even started the simulation that holds the major part of our accounting mark, and most said it'd take at least 4 weeks to do it. I must admit that I've been very slack with doing some of the homeworks because I've been so uninterested in alot of the stuff because of the change in the material from the transfer from up here. Even more so with accounting since from the start I totally disliked my accounting teacher. She seems like a total crackwhore and she doesn't listen or think or anything. She's only come about half the classes since I've arrived, and every day she has shown up for she's been late. She told me when I first arrived that I'd already had to have to do a huge amount of work for her to be at par with everyone else in my class. So I was automatically behind, and since the material/content seemed so different than what it was in Alberta, it made catching up really hard. especially since she told me she didn't have the time to teach me the stuff and that I'd have to just go with it on my own. I have just been so despaired with it knowing I wouldn't be able to finish it all before practicum.

And the worst of it was that I was gonna actually attempt to look at it last week and just ground myself from anything fun to focus on it and hopefully get what everyone was saying would take me 4 weeks at least to do, done in 3 weeks. But last week I got a bad eye infection and it made even just keeping my eyes open for most of the time too hurtful. Couldn't focus on it at all.

So anyways, I had a talk with the head of the program this morning when I returned to school. I told her that I know I like accounting, and that I always have, but since I had arrived here I did not like it, and that I told her it would be impossible for me to finish the accounting part of the program. So she offered me the fact to graduate without the accounting. I'd still get the certificate, it just wouldn't include the accounting. I told her, that I planned to continue with accounting later, which I now do in a year or two since I know I wont be finishing it this year, so this idea wasn't bad for me. I'd just get it later on. So yeah now I have a whole lto of weight off my shoulders, and I have 2 weeks to focus on the rest of my programs and get them done. I'm sure I can get the rest done. I know this is totally me admitting defeat and failing at something and all that stuff. It's not something that normally happens to me, I always pull through. But it had just started off BAD and only got worse. It got to the point where I just didn't care about it anymore, and I hope the fact that I will make up for this either this fall or the fall after makes up for this failure.

Anyways, I was going to post a whole blurb about relationship stuff, but Its late I have class in the morning, and I'm sunburnt from a day in the sun, and just chatting about something with a certain someone <3 is kinda putting me in a bad mood. plus my computer is making some dumb noise, i hope it explodes and puts me out of my misery. So I'll end it here. Goodnight
