New house

Well, I've moved into my new house. It was a total disaster on the day the lease started, so my landlord told me to move in a few days later. I did, and it was still a bit of a disaster. The old tenants basically threw all their trash from the house into the backyard, which attracted the raccoons. They also stopped bothering to put their trash in bags, and just started tossing random items out the window. The day I moved in, I looked out the window, and saw perogies, Jamaican patties, and random meat bones scattered in the backyard .. what a nice first impression. Also, I can hear mice in the walls, and after the many days that trash was left in the house, the ants have come. I feel so gross living here.

The first night here was RIDICULOUS. Two of my housemates got piss drunk. I ended up driving this one guy's car for hours, getting lost in the outskirts of town, looking for "Little John Dr." and "Robin Hood Dr." so my friend could steal the roadsigns for his room. After hours of circling, we found it, but even with a socket wrench we couldn't get them off, while my drunk friends ran amok in the neighbourhood and tried to break into cars. Finally, for some ridiculous reason, my friend decided to take a leak on a rich guy's lawn, but he was watching, so he started screaming at him, and somehow his whole FAMILY was there and came out. My drunk friend (J) tried to negotiate, while I started the car and we were all screaming "J, GET IN THE FUCKING CAR!! GET IN THE FUCKING CAR!!" while he went "A, did you pee on this lawn? What the hell is this? What are we all talking about? Chill the fuck out!". Finally I sped off.

At one point in the night, An (not A, but An, haha) decided to throw a handful of cutlery at me. Not fun. He also ended up running out of the house with eggs and egging our (new) neighbours. He and J also took the old tenants' food out of the fridge (in glass jars) and threw it on the street in a drunken rage. RIDICULOUS .. I felt like apologizing to the neighbours (and I will soon). Then, An decided to drive drunk .. NOT COOL and went around the neighbourhood at 120 km/h.

The most ridiculous part was (when *I* was driving, thank God) in the parking lot of a supermarket, when we randomly decided to go on a roadtrip .. a couple hours later, at 3 AM, we were in freaking Niagara Falls!! Part way there, we stopped in my hometown (very close to Niagara Falls) in my neighbourhood, where An ended up blowing chunks on some rich guy's lawn and J took a piss on another rich guy's lawn. Classy. J and An proceeded to have a full out brawl in the backseat. J ended up in the trunk and was too drunk to even remember going to Niagara Falls, since he was passed out. An ended up staying in the car while me and A (the only two sober people) explored. We ended up coming back to the house at around 6 AM .. it was insanity.

Crazyness aside, it's been pretty mundane. I've been taking summer courses and handing out resumes to veterinary hospitals. Had a few beers with my ex-neighbours from residence, but mostly just cleaning up the house and job hunting, lol. Today I gave residence tours at my university's open house, and it went on for hours and hours and hours .. my throat KILLED from screaming at a crowd of people the same freaking spiel over and over again. I'm glad that is over.

Anyway, it's just been me, J, S, and F at the house, but A just showed up with a BED. A REAL BED. I slept on a pile of cushions for about a week until my parents showed up with a mattress (yes, a real mattress). I don't even get a real bed. Fuck!

The end of the year ..

I really wish I had started blogging at the beginning of the year, so I can at least attempt to remember all the crazy shit that has happened .. at least for myself later on, so I can keep track of things. Oh well, better late than never.
The end of the school year has come, and for the first time in my life (at least as far as I can remember), I actually didn't want the end to come. This has definitely been the best year of my life. My marks definitely suffered, especially in first term, but that's to be expected in first year. I am going to miss everybody so much. It was SO strange going back home, and not being able to walk outside my room at 5 AM on Tuesday and have all my friends still awake and drunk in the common room watching softcore porn on Showcase, the Discovery Channel, Sportsnet, or UFC .. haha. I guess that's what happens when pretty much all your neighbours are guys. My side of the floor was a sausagefest, now that I really think about it. I was surrounded by guys. There were maybe 4 other girls that came to hang out but it was mostly just all guys. I'm glad .. there was no drama this year.
Anyway, after my last exam, the majority of people were done (except the engineering students, or anybody with a political science exam) so we just got hammered. Then we went into the forest for a bonfire. Just as the cops were about to bust the bonfire, me and a friend decided to drunkenly wander off into the forest, and conveniently missed the cops .. lucky, haha. It was a pretty good night, I guess, nothing that exciting, just extreme drunkenness, drunken soccer, and a random mission for pizza.
I was really sad since I thought my chances with the two guys I have a huge crush on were over, now that the year has ended. But whatever, they'll be visiting Hamilton now and then in the summer for parties, so at least I'll see them then. Their house is going to be close to my house next year, so whatever. It's just awkward since the two guys I like are cousins, AND they were roommates this year .. AND they were my neighbours. It was just so freaking ludicrous. And now that I think about it, half the reason why I broke up with my boyfriend (of 2 years!) was because of them .. but I can't ever tell anybody I know that, haha.
I'm back in my hometown for now, and while it was great seeing my friends again, and to not constantly stress over schoolwork and exams, my dad is starting to drive me fucking apeshit. But whatever, I'm moving into my house tomorrow .. it seems so freaking soon .. it's going to suck though, since we won't have internet until May 5 or 6. Fuck. I hope we at least have power, or that is going to be BALLS .. And moving is such a pain in the ass! There aren't any moving vans available for that day so we're just going to try to cram a mattress into my dad's car. Screw a table, I think my table will consist of two filing cabinets and a plank of wood on top. This will be a fun introduction to the world of crappy student housing.
I got most of my marks back. I did a lot better than I expected in Chemistry and Biology, I ended up with an A- in both. In Stats and Environmental Science, I got an A. I hope I end up with an A+ in Psych. Either way, there is no way I can pull my average up high enough to keep my scholarship, which really fucking sucks. I BOMBED first term .. I worked as hard as I could, but I just wasn't used to university yet, or the method of testing. There is no way I can make up for that nasty D- I got in Physics. It sucks .. I went from a 97% in Grade 12 Physics to a freaking BARE PASS in first year Physics. Fuck. They say that your marks drop like crazy in first year, especially if you are a Science or Engineering student (not so much for Humanities or Social Science) but .. holy fuck I really didn't expect to drop so much.
Oh well, I had a freaking awesome time. You only live through first year university ONCE, and I have no regrets.
Let's see what all this hype is about ...
