1:51 pm	Bye Bye Ottawa I've been in Ottawa for a week now, working hard in my grade four placement, helping Shawn getting the house ready for Winter, and doing all the little things that need doing before I leave. And now that everything is done, and the week is over, its actually time for me to head back to North Bay. Just as I was getting comfortable. The worst part is that Shawn is extremely sick (hung over) from our dinner party last night, and can't really have fun with me today. So instead, I'm working on assignments... something I would prefer to do when Shawn isn't 20 feet away from me. Our last day together for 5 weeks, and poor Shawn is stuck in bed. I can't believe its over. I can't believe I have to leave. It's so hard to say goodbye. Current Mood: restless (1 Comment |Comment on this)

3:51 pm	I'm losing my faith in people... I know I don't often write in this thing. Partly because I think the only people who read this are coffeemanca and tiana, and I have the opportunity to rant to them face to face; and partly because I find it sort of strange writing rants to a cosmic void when I can just unload my feelings in my diary. But today, I feel like addressing the void. Void, I am losing my faith in people. Today while I was walking home from a brief shopping excursion (I needed to buy some vinegar to clean out the microwave) I tripped on an uneven part of the sidewalk. Unfortunately, given that I was wearing ridiculously thick platforms, I managed to twist my ankle a fair bit as well as scraping my hand and knee on the pavement. Had I come across this scene, I would have at least made sure the person who fell was all right. I would even have offered first aid, since I'm trained and usually carry a kit on me (the preschool teacher in me). But what did the strangers who came across my accident do? They pointed, and shouted "Ha Ha Ha". Well thank you assholes! The worst part is, I bet, had I been a looker, these same strangers probably would have helped me up (among other things). But no, they laugh. What if I had been really hurt? Just because I'm ugly doesn't mean that I don't have feelings and that I don't bleed when I fall down! Imagine if doctors only chose to help pretty people. Just when I think the world we're living in is becoming more tolerant of others, little shit like this happens. As well as bigger shit. What is the matter with society? I can't count the number of times I was in a parking lot needing a jump and nobody would help me. And yet, whenever I see a person stranded in a parking lot, or on the side of the road, my first instinct is to ask if they need help! Why? Because I know how much I would appreciate someone offering me help if the tables were turned. Not to mention it makes me feel good to lend a hand. I'm really begining to think that people like me are a dying breed. There just seems to be too much emphasis these days in looking out for number one - and I'm the type of person who gets trampled... and laughed at.

8:20 pm	Thunder Bay, here I come! Hello to the two people I know (who also happen to be sitting infront of me in the living room) and to all the people I don't know. I hope you have all had a pleasant 3 months since I've written last. I know I have. In fact, so far 2005 has been a pretty delightful year. I guess the real reason I was inspired to log on today was because I wanted all of you to know how wonderful Shawn aka coffeemanca is. In order to celebrate my recent acceptance into teachers college, he actually went out and bought me a laptop. And not just any laptop. A fancy schmancy, every computer person seems to want it, hope to god I don't break it, ibook. Its very pretty. And should be very helpful during the next year while I return to school, and indulge in a little video-editing project. Who would have thought that I... the most uncomputery person in the house... nay... the world... would own the best computer between the four of us living here in Ottawa? So it looks like Thunder Bay, here I come! The whole other end of the province from Shawn. But its ok, I'll only be away from him for two months at a time. And the rest, will be a little adventure. What can I say? Life is good. Current Mood: optimistic (1 Comment |Comment on this)
