Waldon here! I've spent over a week now trying to find a job... And I still haven't gotten one. I've applied for a position at the local SPCA, I've sent my resume to the local directory for them to match me with potential employers, and I've applied to the library at my campus. But I haven't heard anything back from any of them. :(So, because of this, I've put my art project on hold again. Sorry guys, but seriously, I need to make sure I get a job so I can pay for my schooling. That's kind of important.But, speaking of which, I need some suggestions for a good route that my Little Dude can travel across the world. I'd be open to any suggestions or ideas for a destination; even just one suggestion would be nice. I'd like for him to travel EVERYWHERE, so any towns or areas or natural spots that you think are beautiful, feel free to email me at [email protected]and I'll do my best to duly thank you.So, I suppose I'm off for the night. I'm tired. :(Good night all!-Waldon
Waldon here! I'm finally finished my first year of College! It was fun while it lasted. :P But, now I'm on to new pastures, so to speak. I need to find a job until the end of August. Bre MIGHT be going to work instead of taking classes during intercession, so I'll kind of be spending a lot more time by myself for the next three weeks than I thought I'd be. Which kind of sucks, but it's most definitely a good thing for Bre, and that's awesome. :)
I hope we get a few weeks of down time without a job or class, or much stress together before the end of the summer though... :(
Anyways, I told you all yesterday that I'd tell you the story about what happened yesterday! So here it is!
When I was trying to go to my math exam yesterday morning, my truck had literally frozen into the driveway. I had to take the giant ice pick (Read: Large, spear-like chunk of metal) out of the shed and hack my truck out. By now I had already scraped all the ice and snow from the freezing rain the night before off the window, and by this time, there were only 5 minutes left until my exam, so I got to school as fast as I could.
I sprinted to the classroom when I reached the school, and made it before the exam actually started, but I still had to fill out the information on the front and explain to the "Invigilator" (What a word, eh? It means the person who watches you work.) where I was. By now I was 10 minutes behind? So I got to working as fast as I could.
After half an hour, the invigilator looked up, and then loudly proclaimed she wasn't feeling well, then promptly grabbed the podium she was standing next to and nearly fell unconscious. So, we were all rushing around trying to find her some water, which she was asking for, while one of us went to get help. Finally, we got her some water, and the school supervisor showed up, and had one of the nurses from the nursing classes down the hall show up and look her over. Then, the nurse lead the invigilator out into the hall, and I haven't seen or heard of her since, not even from her son.
This had all happened in the middle of our exam, and it was so unexpected that we were all in a kind of daze. Finally, the school supervisor showed up, and took over the exam monitoring.
BUT. Because we were following the schedule set by MUN and not CNA (Our school), we couldn't get more than a 15 minute extension at the end of our exam period. So we lost a total of 15 to 20 minutes in total, on top of my already lost 10 minutes. It was rough. But, to my credit, I finished a large portion of the exam, and only had to leave out two questions.
So, I just got back from spending all day with Bre. :) Well, we were doing stuff around town, but you know. I had my biology exam first thing in the morning, and so as soon as I was done, I headed over to her house, and I was with her pretty much ever since. We watched "Community" (Absolutely hilarious, btw.) for a few hours, and we shovelled some of her driveway, and after supper we watched a couple movies lol, it was fun! :)
Alright, well, I'm exhausted. And I want to go to bed. So I will. :P Good night all!

Waldon here! There's just one more exam left, and it's tomorrow morning at 8 30 AM, so I'll be studying for the rest of the evening. I've had exams for three consecutive days now, and tomorrow will be my fourth day of exams straight. So, I'm a little tired, but I'll be good to go by tomorrow night!
So, I'll just leave this here to show you all I haven't forgotten about you, and to remind me to tell you all about the adventure my Math exam ended up being. :P
Good night all!

Hey all! I'm finally doing this! Fancy that! It won't be long because it feels like someone is poking my eye out from behind. D:
Now! The title! Dad and Mandy are gone to the Dominican Republic for a week and I'm watching the house! It's good so far! They left yesterday. I haven't burned the house down yet, so I guess all is well. Brittany stayed up with me last night. Apparently I snore. Oh no! That's awful! I don't want to snore! It annoys everyone in the house. Well... Junior says that when I nap at his house, I don't snore very loudly, so it's okay! I suppose.
My exams are almost over. I have two left (Chemistry and Math) that are on Tuesday and Wednesday. I'll be going to school tomorrow anyway to study, because I didn't have a very productive weekend. English was okay on Thursday. Awful long though. Physics and Psych were done on Friday. They were okay. I was really tired on Friday, so I couldn't really concentrate on the exam.
Ugh. I'm sorry. I'm listening to the Nerdist podcast with Junior, and my head is killing me. I think I'm done for tonight. My apologies. (><)
- Bre :)
Waldon here! I slept really badly (waking up 4 separate times, and only sleeping for a total of 5 hours) all night, and since dinnertime today, my back has felt like it was on fire and I don't think I can post tonight. I'm just too distracted right now.
Sorry about this!

Waldon here! Guess what? I SPEND A LOT OF TIME PLAYING SKYRIM. It seems like almost all of my time is spent on that game xD I love it so much. Breanna MUST be getting sick of me playing it by now :P I've put in at least 300 hours into that game now. I've had about 20 files, all of which have been played through at least halfway through the main quest, and about 5 of which have had a large number of side quest lines done.
Anyways, right now I'm playing as a Nord sword and shield user. I love the Nords, I can identify. Canadian power, eh?
Breanna and I had an English exam today, so forgive me if I don't get too wordy, we kind of used up all of our language skills this afternoon. But, I'll try my best to get a good blog on the go for a little bit longer.
The exam was pretty good! Everybody I talked to thought so as well, so hopefully we all did okay. Both essays were choices, so for my first choice, I chose to do the benefits of maintaining a good balance between societies needs and the preservation of the environment. For the second essay, I told the story of when I jogged across three coves in Newfoundland, because I was lonely. The only way I could talk to Bre was to get to a place with signal, so I did the best I could to get to a place where there was a signal, and that was about 10 km away, at the base of a lighthouse. It was a BEAUTIFUL evening, but I'll be writing an essay over the summer about it, and I'll post it here when I do.
So, I've finally started working on the Little Dude project that I've been talking about for ages. I've been saying I'd start it for ages, but I made myself post the claim everywhere, and now I've got to back it up, because a bunch of people have read it. Thank god for forceful reinforcement, eh?
Anyways, I suppose I'm off to bed. I want to wake up early so I can talk to Bre and wish her good luck before her exam tomorrow morning! Good night all!

Waldon here again! I forgot to mention last night that I had linked my Manga Magazine profile to here, and it seems that I've been getting a lot of hits from it! Thank you all so much!
Bre also linked from her photos on DeviantArt, (which were very popular, very quickly) and those probably added quite a few views as well! So thank all of you!
So! I finished uploading all of the CD's I found, and I've been listening to everything from Cake to Trooper, and Bob Dylan to 50 Cent. :P
I've just finished putting together a splash page for Manga Magazine . com, and it looks pretty neat. I don't know if too many people like the Little Dude pictures though... I love them. xD They're so simple, that I can focus on his surroundings and his environment without worrying about him, and it just makes me feel at peace with the picture.
This afternoon I went to the local Riffs and exchanged a too small pair of pants for a new hoodie and sweatshirt. They're really comfortable, so I think I got the better deal here.
Then I went over to the school, and hung out with Bre, Ryan and Eric the Math Guy for a couple hours. :P
Well, I must be off to study a little more/Review for English!
Good night all!
-Waldon
Waldon here, and for anybody whom stuck around long enough, this post will be a gratifying message; I'll be doing daily blogs for the next 5 days, at least. You see, today is the first free day we've gotten in ages. I just finished my final essay/paper for my English course (As did Bre) just after dinner today (Bre finished before dinner xD).
So, now that I don't have some intense workload hanging over my head like a liturgical sword of Damocles, I can do a blog before bed without worrying that I'm going to collapse from exhaustion halfway between one sentence and the next.
So! I've picked up Skyrim again. In the span of about 5 days, I've gotten almost every location discovered, killed enough dragons to have finally gotten that achievement, and reached level 22. Now, that may not seem like much, but I'm a compulsive player. I get sidetracked so easily it's almost criminal. This is a GREAT runthrough for me. :P (That's also why Fallout is one of my favorite series of all time; getting sidetracked is encouraged. xD)
I found about 22 CD's under the TV in the living room that mom and dad never told me they had. It turns out that they used to love what's now classic rock and some of the more eclectic music choices of the 70s and 80s, which I love, and I am now uploading all of them to iTunes. Although, a few of them are CD's that I thought I had lost, but I guess mom just moved them when she found them around. And never told me. xD
So, I don't know if I should tell you which of my old CD's were found, simply for the sake of my dignity. They're pretty... damning. Like, "Pokemon World,""Beyblade: Let it Rip," and some odd Japanese Pokemon CD. I mean, what? I didn't say anything. Nothing embarrassing here.
I've finished uploading about 11 of them, and I want to have most of them done by tomorrow. :P
So I suppose I'm done for now, I'm getting a little sleepy. Good night all!

My apologies, everyone! Tonight's title is super duper long because I'm COMPLETELY TAKEN ABACK BY TONIGHT'S EVENTS ON CORONATION STREET. You see, this is kind of what happened:
Sophie and Char (lesbians) were going to get married but Amber (who had a crush on Sophie, I do believe) went to Sophie the night before her (Sophie's) wedding and started to make her think that she had second thoughts about getting married. Sunita (Amber's dad's wife) came out before Amber kissed Sophie and told Amber off. The next day, Sophie's dad, Kevin, (who found out the night before about the run in with Amber) asked Sophie if she was ready to get married, and if she was ready for that kind of commitment. Sophie was basically trying to convince herself that she was, and Kevin saw that. SO! At the church, Char said her vows. When it was Sophie's turn, she choked, and Kevin told her that she didn't have to go through with it.. THEN the poop hit the fan. Amber freaked out, Char and Amber's parents freaked out, Rosie (Sophie's sister) freaked out. FINALLY, Sophie told Char that she was really sorry and couldn't go through with it. Char was so MAD! She threw down her vows and ran out.
... Holy CRAP Coronation Street!
So, I'll soon have time to actually update this again... I feel so bad about not posting! Gosh, I'm glad this isn't my job or anything. School has just been so busy. (><) . We have a research paper due on Thursday that I REALLY don't want to write. I have to do a bunch of it tonight. I also have a bunch of online Chem and Physics that I need to do before our exams, and some Math that needs to get done as well.
ARGH! Exams start next week. I can't remember when my Math or Chem exams are. I know that I have my Physics exam from 8:30 - 10:30 am on Friday the 13th, and then from 2:30 - 4:30 pm is my psych exam! Luckily, my English exam is the day before, so I only have Math and Chem to do the week after. Speaking of Chem, I have to sit down with Junior on Friday and figure out what he has to study for the exam.. Poor thing. :(
OH! I got a DeviantArt account! I'm so excited! Junior helped me with it last night! My username is AdditiveGummyBear! I have nothing on my page yet, but that's okay! I'm going to try to upload stuff sometime soon. It's awesome! Now I get to follow Erin on DeviantArt! (As creepy as that sounds, hehe).
All right, enough procrastinating for me! I need to go do some work... Or try on a pair of jeans to see if they still fit. You know. Priorities. Until next time!
- Bre :)
