keeping me down.

Tuesday, January 20, 2009

Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.

Sara Bareilles - Gravity


I absolutely love this song. I hope I'll get the opportunity to dance to it one day.




Cathy Nguyen and Gabe Bondoc are amazing =]

But keep one eye open at night...

Tuesday, December 30, 2008

I have been finding more songs that I really like recently and they all happen to be about the same thing that I can easily relate to. One of them is Elephants by Rachael Yamagata. I actually heard it from dance because it's going to be my lyrical solo song for competition this year (even though I'm not really supposed to be competing while at school, but oh wells.) At first, I was very iffy about the song because it just sounded like a normal pretty lyrical song and my solo probably wouldn't be that significant at competition. But then I went home and downloaded the song and looked up the lyrics.. It's actually not a pretty song at all (not in a bad way). They're quite violent actually... I realized this after listening to the whole song. I think the lyrics are amazing and have sooo much meaning.

If the elephants have past lives, yet are destined to always remember,
it's no wonder how they scream,
like you and I, they must have some temper.
And I am dreaming of them on the plains, dirtying up their beds,
watching for some kind of rain to cool their hot heads.
And how dare that you send me that card when I'm doing all that I can do.
You are forcing me to remember when all I want is to just forget you.

If the tiger shall protect her young, then tell me how did you slip by.
All my instincts have failed me for once -- I must have somehow slept the whole night.
And I am dreaming of them with their kill, tearing it all apart,
blood dripping from their lips, and teeth sinking into heart.
And how dare that you say you will call, when you know I need some peace of mind..
If you had to take sides with the animals, won't you do it with one who is kind?

If the hawks in the trees need the dead, if you're living you don't stand a chance.
You can lie there and say you are fed, but there are only two ends to this dance.
You can flee with your wounds just in time, or lie there as he feeds,
watching yourself ripped to shreds and laughing as you bleed.

So for those of you falling in love, keep it kind, keep it good, keep it right.
Throw yourself in the midst of danger, but keep one eye open at night.

Rachael Yamagata - Elephants


I couldn't pick one verse so I just decided to post the whole song ahah. But basically, Rachael is singing about someone she fell in love with and is trying to forget because he hurt her badly. He knows that she still loves him and is playing with her emotions. In the song she uses the animals to describe their relationship. Their temper towards each other is described like the screams of elephants. The tiger refers to herself while the hawk refers to her lover, hence the genders noted in the verses. I really like songs that have metaphorically lyrics like this and don't spoon feed the story and meaning to the listeners. In the last two lines, she gives a warning to those in love, telling them to take the risk but be cautious because anything can happen.

I think now that I know the meaning of this song, I can appreciate my solo to this song more as it gets choreographed by my teacher. I hope I get good choreography and am able to make it my own =] My jazz solo is also to a bitter song, but I'll save it for another day.

Until next time.

Two.

Friday, December 26, 2008

And we will only need each other, we'll breathe together,
our hands will not be taught to hold another's,
when we're the special two.
And we could only see each other, we'll bleed together,
these arms will not be taught to need another's,
when we're the special two.

Knitting yayyy

Wednesday, December 24, 2008

As you may already know, I have decided to knit for all my close friends for this Christmas as well as my older siblings. I am using this as an opportunity to further my knowledge of knitting.

I am also in the process of learning how to crochet because apparently it is easier? But it looks more confusing to me. I was actually at Wal Mart the other day and I bought myself a crochet hook because I saw a tutorial on ThreadBanger on how to crochet a hat. It looks really complicated x_X. But then again it is a Thread Banger tutorial and no offense but their previous knitting tutorials were completely wrong. Well, at least I think they were. Their knitting tutorial was the very first one I looked at to learn how to knit and for some reason it just wasn't working? Even on the comments below people were like wtf. So, then I finally went to a better tutorial by cyberseams =] And yes, it did work. Thread Bangers also put up another tutorial on how to knit a pidge scarf, which isn't hard at all. But of course they told people to go and refer back to their first tutorial on how to knit. This new type of scarf is basically a shorter basic scarf with just adding two button holes on the same row. And again... the button holes did not work out -_- I later found a way better tutorial on how to knit a button hole by someone else. They used a completely different method, which made tighter and cleaner button holes =]. I'm sorry, I love Thread Bangers and all, but their knitting tutorials suck.

Anyways back onto my Christmas knitting. So far, the only thing I know how to make are different types of scarves and fingerless gloves. I'm making mostly scarves because for some reason I'm not too patient with the fingerless gloves. I think maybe it's because after I finish one glove, I realize I have to do the process all over again -_-'

The first scarf I ever made was done by finger knitting! The only materials you need are 2 colours of yarn and scissors. You knit with your fingers =] I saw this tutorial on youtube (omg youtube -_-'') called No Needle Scarf Knitting. It's SUPER easy. It's also a lot faster than using needles.
I actually already gave the first scarf I made in this style to one of my friends a week ago because she's on vacation for the holidays. So, this is just another one I made, but a lot shorter.



By the way, I know that I do have some of my friends on blogger and they do have access to this post, but I'm not saying which scarf is theirs! XD So that's their surprise? lol I didn't take pics of all the scarves anyway. Moving on...

There's the basic knit stitch scarf that I guess everyone starts with when learning how to knit.


This one is not done yet, hence the piece of yarn that has not been weaved in. I want to add more to this scarf so it's not so plain. But I really love the colour and the quality of this yarn.



These are key hole scarves. There is a vertical slit where the scarf goes through to tie around your neck. I just did knit stitches for these. I added some pink buttons to the one on the left to decorate it a bit. Buttons yayyyy. I added a big pompom on the one on the right. Pompoms yayyy


These are the pidge scarves that Thread Bangers were teaching how to make. Both of these are for my sister. I already gave them to her =]



This is a pidge scarf that I decided to keep for myself =] ahah. It's actually the ONLY scarf that I have knitted that I'm keeping for myself.

As for the rest of the knitting goes, I still have 3 more scarves to go for my friends. I'm done with the family knitting. I guess this is just a lil sneak peek for my friends who are getting these =]
Until next time

Downtown fun

Tuesday, December 23, 2008

It's been a while since I've shared a story ahah.
Today I decided to go downtown because my sister was moving into a new apartment by herself that is pretty close to my school. Also, I got a monthly pass for the GO and haven't used it enough to make the money worth it. I only went downtown for my 4 exams in December. I could have easily gotten a 10 ride pass. I needed to use my pass more often ahah.

First off, I had to walk to the GO station which took like over half an hour because my brother and my dad left without me xP They probably forgot that I was going downtown as well. I was hoping they'd drop me off at the station while they were going to my sisters apartment. I had to walk with my other brother because my parents don't like it when I walk to places by myself... even though I'm always by myself when I'm traveling to school? The walk was pretty bad considering there was a snow storm last Friday and some more snow on Sunday. People need to freakin' shovel their sidewalks!!! T_T The snow was so high. I actually fell twice. But it wasn't a very far fall =P


I was actually walking through stuff like this. Ridiculous -_-


By the time I got to Union it was already 3:45. I shopped for like 2 hours by myself. The Eaton Centre was PACKED. It was a monday too. Like, imagine how it could have been during the weekend o_o. Well, I'm pretty much done Christmas shopping for those I am not knitting for ahah... which is pretty much just one person. I was really tempted to buy stuff for myself at the Eaton Centre but then I kept telling myself "Just wait for Forever 21" =]. So, that's what I did. I'm proud of myself! x]



So I went to Forever 21, my new favourite clothing store in the whole wide world. I found the $5 rack and just browsed there. I pretty much just got stuff for myself this time since I was done Christmas shopping and I wouldn't be able to go back there for a while. There wasn't that much with my size. I range between a Small and Medium depending on the clothing. So I had to line up for the Fitting Rooms, which took a while. Mainly because there were only like 4 or 5 rooms AND some girls were taking their time trying the stuff on and showing their other friends in the other fitting rooms, going back and forth. Yeah... Hi! Incredibly long line up right behind you. Have some consideration? I mainly ended up getting a few dresses that were medium. There's only one dress that I want to fix because it is a bit too big. There was also a pretty long line up to purchase. The cashier that I went to was chatting with another girl and taking her time. She was also commenting on the stuff that I picked to the other girl and was like trying them on. Kay, well not like literally putting them on but like holding them up in front of herself.

After that it was pretty dark so I decided to take the subway and street car to my sister's apartment rather than walking all the way. Walking in the dark by yourself downtown is pretty scary T_T. When I went to the subway there was no one in the booths, but it didn't say it was closed either. There was a sign that just said to put the cash fare into the pot. The pot was pretty full. I also saw some people that just walked through without paying anything. So, I just put like 2 quarters in and moved on. I never put the full $2.75 in by the way. I only had like a dollar and 75 cents with me in change. So after I took the subway, I went to take the street car. I had never taken a street car by myself before. I'm usually with friends and follow them because I don't really get it xP So, it was my first time taking the street car on my own ahah. It was taking a while for the street car to come by so there was a ton of people waiting. It took a good 15min before the street car actually came. I had to fight my way in! D: I was one of the first few people to get in >=] The guy didn't even look at my transfer. He was just like "Yeah, yeah, yeah.." There were too many people anyway. There were no seats and I had to move all the way to the back. There was this creepy guy sitting at the back getting high off something and talking to everyone. Not sure what it was. It kinda smelled like gasoline. So I tried to stand further away from him. I finally then got a seat! chyeahh! XD The creepy guy was later on then asked to leave the street car. The bus driver was like "The man in the orange in the back thats sniffing something (i forgot what he said), please leave the street car." The guy was like "Yeah, yeah! I'm leaving! Okayyy!" You could smell whatever he was sniffing so the lady beside me opened the window. Pretty scary.



My sister was already eating out with a few of her friends at this Mexican restaurant which was literally right across from her apartment. I ate their leftovers =] ahah. I didn't mind. Afterwards I looked around my sister's apartment, which is pretty cool for one person. I helped organize some of her furniture and do some groceries with her. It made me realize how much work it would take to start living on my own. I'm definately not ready to move out.

Haha. My shopping spree seems to be highlight of the day rather than visiting my sister even though it should be the other way around.
Anywho. Here's some of the stuff I bought that day =]


Yes, I am in the bathroom. I love my shower curtains too x]

Not bad for all mediums x]
~~~~~


Is it just me or do I actually look like I'm 10 in this pic?
I swear I'm gonna compare this to an old pic of me later XD


Oh yeah. I cut my hair a few days ago =] I love it shorter.

Until next time.

Happiness is

Sunday, December 14, 2008

an afternoon nap
chocolate
a finished painting
dreams of flying
a good clothing sale
a complete snowflake on your hand
a warm bubble bath
an empty seat on the train
priority crossing
dancing with coloured spotlights
birds in the pet store that let you scratch their heads
melted mozzarella cheese
hitting 5 pirouettes
japanese t-shirt folding
a perfect dandelion
casting off when knitting
happyslip
crowded photobooth pictures
watermelon fruit roll up
cheese string

I got inspired by Christine (aka. chriiissstttine) from her Happiness is video and decided to make my own list =]

They weren't there

You sighed and I was lost in you, weeks could've past for all I knew.
You were there blanket of the over-world and so I couldn't say,
I wouldn't say "no". But they all said, "you're too young to even know,
just don't let it grow and you'll be stronger without him"
but oh, now, my world is at your feet. I was lost and I was found,
but I was alive and now I've drowned.
So now I will be waiting for the world to hear my song
so they can tell me I was wrong...

chantee STUDY face

Monday, December 1, 2008

It's finally exam week.. ahhhh!! x_X
I'm going to be studying like crazy for the next two weeks.

This is my schedule
Dec 3 - Production & Interview w/ Dance teachers
Dec 5 - English
Dec 8 - Music
Dec 11 - History

I'm really happy that all my exams are equally spread out and that none of them are on the same day.
The ones I'm stressing about the most are my production and history exam. I'm thankful that both are multiple choice. But I definitely won't be relying on just luck for them. The review days for these exams were pretty useful and somewhat surprising for me. I kinda felt like they spoon feeded us in comparison to high school

For example, Production... Our teacher sent everyone a 4 page review thingy and told us to bring it to the review so of course I did. On the 4 pages were basic notes of everything we learned throughout the semester and also certain pages from the textbooks we can refer to. So, having this, I thought that during the review, my teacher would be going into more detail about each point. But no. I started taking notes, until I realized that everything he was saying was right off the sheet. And it's not like he said anything extra either. Soooo... I stopped taking notes =]
History... Right off the bat, he told us to not take any notes during the lecture. He had questions on the power point presentation, asked us for our opinions, and then revealed them. This was our review. And he also said that everything would be posted online. S'yeah. The only thing I think I need to do besides studying the questions and answers he gave us is catch up on all the plays that I did not read >_> which are a lot. I doubt that I will get to reading all of them. I will at least make sure I do study about the plays.

My English review was more like an English review in high school ahah. Like she gave us what types of questions would be on the exam and gave us 4 topics that we would have to write an essay on with only 2 of them being on the exam. I think I'd have to do a lot when studying for this. Because again, I did not read all the "short" stories. Yeah, the stories we were assigned weren't really "short" I'd say. ahah. But yeah, my englsih exam is this Friday, but I probably won't start studying for it til after my production exam. Hopefully, I'll have the time to read all the one's I have missed out on.

Music... he didn't really give us a review. But pretty much all I have to study is everything that was on the past two tests we had. I'll just be studying a lot of music definitions with the Q card method. ahah.

If you don't know what it is, I will explain =] I learned it from my grade 10 religion teacher, Bazinet. And it was REALLY helpful. We had a lot of definitions in that class to study for the exam. So, basically, you write the word you are studying on one side of the Q card, and then you write the definiton on the other side. It helpful because you see the word on its own, which would happen on a test.



For sure I will be studying for Production later tonight after dance.
I was planning to this afternoon... Funny thing... I woke up at 4pm T_T
I was so tired from Lizzeh's party which was uber awesome by the way =]
I will update on it later

Until next time.

Dance loving ghosts?

Saturday, November 1, 2008

So it's Halloween and I have discovered that the Ryerson Theatre School building is haunted =] yayyy

I actually found this out like two days ago but didn't actually research it til today. I was never really a ghost believer before but I'm pretty sure I will be cautious around the theatre school from now on. Well, maybe not a lot but definitely whenever I'm alone and its late x_X. I never thought of the theatre school being haunted and all. In one of the two dance studios that we usually have class in called Llyod, the door always seems to open and close on its own sometimes. I always though it was a draft or something? but it happened quite often. And I never thought of the idea of a ghost or something. It didn't really bother me that much. Also, during Improv class once in that studio, there would be random banging noises from the other side. We were presenting our 30 seconds of choreography based on 3 magazine pictures at this time. I thought the banging noises were just coming from people moving around stuff or something? but then I realized that the next week during Improv, it was happening again. And for some reason I've only been noticing it during Improv even though we have other classes in the same room on other days of the week. I don't know if it has to do anything with the idea of the third floor being haunted or anything ahah.

I read like two articles from google about Ryerson being haunted. One of them was actually on wikipedia T_T. But most of what freaky things people noticed were directed to the McAllister studio which is the other studio that I go to a lot. There's one saying that the north east corner is always cold or something? I'm not exactly sure which corner in the room is north east but i wouldn't mind checking this out the next time I'm there. There's also something about the lights flickering and stuff. As far as I know that hasn't happened in my classes yet. The freakiest would probably be being alone in McAllister. Apparently, you feel like you're being watched and you might hear someone whisper your name. SO! I'm definately not gonna be alone in that studio ever knowing that x_X. There's other creepy stuff like seeing a white figure of a girl also. But I'm not gonna even try and look for that >_> Ughhh writing about this stuff this late on Halloween night is giving me the creeps too D:



Well, with this whole ghost thing. It's not something to worry about ahah. I'm not gonna quit the program or anything because there are spirits and such in the school. I was never really a strongn beliver in ghosts and stuff to begin with. If anything, they are probably friendly ghosts =] that like to watch dance? ahah

Until next time.

slow dancing in a burning room

Saturday, October 18, 2008

I'm really big on downloading music and finding out the meanings of the lyrics. I do this usually for songs that I could possibly dance to. I have no idea how to define this type of music especially when people ask me, "So! What kind of music do you listen to?"...so I shall just call it 'contemporary music'? meh.
Every so often special songs come to me that I download and listen to like all the time. Most of these songs are heard from dance ahah and most likely no one else but dancers will know them.. yayyy. So I thought it'd be an awesome idea to share whatever new songs come to me in the future with you!.. who ever you are D: don't know why you're here! XD

Anyways, I shall be sharing this song that I've actually known for a while from So You Think You Can Dance. Katee and Joshua danced to this song, but I wasn't really into it until I saw Pam Chu and Ben Susak do the exact same routine on youtube. They were actually the original dancers for this routine and they danced to the whole song.



They are sooo amazing! I really like the choreography because it's more human? For some reason, those kind of movements appeal to me more as a dancer. There were so many powerful moments. I felt they were more intense and more passionate than Katee and Joshua.
I also found it kinda funny how both girls are asian! (asian pride yayyy ^^v)

So, after seeing this dance, I obviously had to go and download this song and look up the lyrics! XD I'm sure it's obvious that its by John Mayer. A very familiar voice. I don't actually have that many of his songs on my ipod. I guess this would be my THIRD John Mayer song I've ever downloaded. I love the lyrics. Even the title itself is beautiful on its own. (Not sure if beautiful is the word ahah but you know what I mean) These lyrics stand out the most to me.

"It's not a silly little moment
It's not the storm before the calm
This is the deep and dying breath of
This love we've been working on"

"I was the one you always dreamed of
You were the one I tried to draw
How dare you say it's nothing to me
Baby, you're the only light I ever saw"

"Go cry about it, why don't you?
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room"

I find that these songs always come to me at the right time in my life.

I heart my ipod touch =]

Sunday, October 5, 2008

Last week, I finally got a new ipod! (yayyy)
I only got one because I had the very first nano and the battery started dying since i've been using it for 3 years. Music is my saviour when I am commuting to school because I'm by myself most of the time. And even if I do see someone I know on the bus or train, mostly likely I won't be able to sit with them because there are barely any empty seats for two people. With my nano, if i just kept scrolling around to find songs, after like 10 minutes it would die. So in order for it to last I would just have to play it and leave it on. And then maybe it'll last for almost an hour. If I wanted to change a song, the power would decrease even more soo i was really hesitant about it aaand it sucked T_T


So after I finally got a lot of money from my debut, I had enough to buy a new ipod! =] Originally, I wanted to used these square one gift certificates that I got because it was more than enough to buy one. However, Wal Mart was always sold out of the 8gb sooo my next option was The Source. The ipod was a bit more expensive there but they were the only ones that had it. Apparently, they don't take gift certificates for the ipod AND they don't take SPC for the ipod either. Sooo I had to pay full price with cash. I wish I was with my older brother or something when I was getting it because I have a feeling that they took advantage of me being a female buying from an electronics store. I wouldn't be surprised if they lied to me. Blehhh.

Well, I'm happy that I finally got it though =] And honestly, I didn't really look up any of the features it had before I actually bought it, so now I'm quite surprised with it ahah. I didn't know that it could connect to youtube and other websites... though probably most of you already knew that >_>. I am currently trying to put some game applications on without having to register on itunes or something because it requires a credit card number for payment xP. And i don't plan on paying for any games on my ipod. So far I was able to get Reversi and Sudoku by going on the web apps section of the apple site. There are a few other games I wanna try getting though.

So I will probably be using my ipod touch until the battery dies out =] Of course I am still keeping my nano for some sentimental value (yayyy)

Until next time.

Uni what??? D:

Monday, September 8, 2008

So first week of university DONE!

Wow, I still can't believe that I'm in university. Probably because it doesn't feel like it at all XD. I mean like being in a dance program and all? It just feels like dance class with people I have never met before! fun stuff =] yayyy...

So for frosh week, I left off saying I barely made any friends. But this week I was able to make a lot of friends from my program! =] It's pretty cool because so far everyone in our program are not like split up into little cliques and such. Oh yeah, at my ryerson audition, I was only the asian there. And now, I'm STILL the only asian in my program! wh00t? ahah. The majority of the people in my program are white. So, I'm sorry if I'm fully white washed by the end of the year!! D:

The first two days of school were really good =] I only had dance classes those days AND I ended around 12 for both days (yayyy!!). The main dance classes I have are ballet, modern, and jazz... and there's also one pilates class. So far, my favourite class is jazz. I guess its because its more similar to my style? and I've never really done the kind of modern that they are teaching us before, so it feels a bit awk on my body right now I guess.. ahah. It's only the first week. I'll get used to it! XD I also find that everyone in my class are very strong in ballet; however, when it comes to like jazz and stuff a lot of them seem very stiff?

So being done early on those days, I actually decided to visit my high school on Wednesday. When I first got back in the school, my first thought was, "It's so small." University is sooo massive compared to high school. And yeah, I was able to visit like three of my teachers, which were all in the art department. There really weren't any other teachers I felt like visiting beside my photography one, who was busy talking to some student in the hall way that day so I couldn't talk to him. I do miss high school. But for some reason right now I feel like I'm enjoying myself more in university! I think it's because I'm not in a classroom as often just listening to the teacher blab about whatever. Plus, I get to be dancing like every day for school! I'll probably just have to wait til work starts to get heavy on me to start hating it... I guess.

On thursday, I had my first sit down class ahah.. which was Production Elements of Production. The class is combined with all the dancers, actors, and production people so we were put in a pretty big lecture hall with these awesome chairs that were attached to the tables! They were like computer chairs, but they had no legs. The chairs were attached from the side and you can still shift your chair forwards and backwards. So to me, it kinda felt like I was floating or something. The only annoying thing was that the chairs squeak when you move around a lot. So a billion people + a billion chairs = Chantee crazy!! >:D (yes, I am overreacting) This class really scared me though about university though. The teacher was explaining so many things at once about the class and up coming assignments ...and I got really confused T___T. I wasn't the only one though. Pretty much everyone who brought up that class to me was like "Did you understand ANYTHING in that class?" "Nope! =]" So after that class, I had a break before my english elective. I got there on time and I see a bunch of people standing outside the classroom. But at the same time there are already people inside the room. So I ask what's going on and this girl tells me that they are waiting for the other class to finish. We waited for a REALLY long time. Like maybe 20 minutes after our class was supposed to start. So, I asked the girl how long she had been waiting. She tells me that she got there a bit before I did. I was like "... Are you SURE that isn't our class?" and she tells me she's not sure x_X So she went inside the class and asked the teacher which class it was and obviously it was ours. The teacher was wondering why half the class was missing >_> I ended up only being in that class for like an hour because she ended half an hour earlier.

FRIDAY! I danced in the morning as usual. Later on I had my english elective again and a class called Creative Performance Studies, which is a class combined with the actors. It was pretty funny how at the beginning of class one side of the classroom was all dancers and the other half was all actors. We didn't exactly mingle that much at the beginning xP Not until we had to create groups of 3 dancers and 2 actors aka. "creapods." We had writing activities before hand, but we had to read them to our group T_T which wasn't so fun ahah. After that we had to join with another creapod and create a MARCH for whatever we wanted. These were the ideas of the other groups: march for the ages, march for dance, march for the washroom line up, march for the ATM machine, march for relaxation... My group decided to do a march for THE MONTH OF MARCH! :D pretty cheesy but it was a lot of fun! Pretty much what we did was stand in a line and each of us would call out a month and do some retarded pose.. and when it came to march we just marched out the door >_>. Now that I think about it, the idea sounds retarded LOL but the whole class laughed sooo it's all good =].

And yeah, after that class... I see Zack Efron at my school O.o yepp, t'was very random. I didn't realize it was the Film Festival until then. It was pretty ridiculous how many old adult guys were there trying to get his autograph and everything! LOL They were going crazier than the girls. So when i was there, he was being interviewed but he had his back against everyone. When he finally turned around everyone started screaming his name like crazy. He would come up to us and do some autographs and then go back to the cameras. It was pretty much that kinda cycle until he went inside the building. I was able to get pics of him on my camera though >=] JUST to make my friends that are REAL fans of Zack Efron jealous! >:D nyahaha!



Because I just had my first monday, I shall talk about it.. yayyy. Again, I danced in the morning and later on had my Timelines of Performance History class and Music class. Before my timelines class I found a Tim Hortons in the building and decided to get an ice cap because my next class was gonna be like three hours and I was in a rush. There were two guys working there. One guy took my order and I was waiting for him to finish making my ice cap. Then the other guy was assuming I was the next customer and asked me for my order, so I told him that I was already with the other guy. So I finally got my ice cap and was about to hand my money to the guy... until he walked away o_o. I was gonna pay the other person, but he was busy with the other customers and was ignoring me. Sooo I felt like I had no choice but to leave because my class had already started and I had friends waiting for me. I did feel guilty about it.. but at the same time i was thinking "SWEEET! XD" ... kay, maybe I wasn't THAT guilty. I wasn't the only one that had food in class. Pretty much half the class had their lunches on their desk! Because of our schedules, we only have like a 45min break before the class and the prof understands that. So he lets us eat in class =] Just as long as we "don't spill our drinks on our neighbours expensive laptop." Speaking of lap tops... It is very convenient to sit behind someone who has a lap top during a lecture! XD Seriously. Yeah, I was fully copying off this guys lap top during that class because I kept zoning out the teacher's voice >_>.
I also had my first Music class. I thought that the class would just be about theory and stuff because I heard that we don't actually do singing until 3rd year. But actually we are doing theory AND singing as a choir along with the actors =] That day all we did was determine which vocal groups we're in. A lot of people already knew what group they would be in based on experience. Yes, I have experience but I don't like talking about it =] yayyyy. I am in Soprano by the way. The biggest group would have to be Alto. It was also my first day coming home after 7 from school! It's starting to get really dark quicker x_X Fall is coming!

I kinda realized this today that I seem familiar to a lot of people from my program. Some of them remember me from past dance competitions or auditions and stuff. Like there was this one girl that not only recognized me from a dance competition, but also remembered how flexible I was and that her friend told her to watch me at that competition! I was wondering how she knew about my flexibility because we haven't really done any major leg stuff at school yet and I thought I blended in with everyone else. It's pretty weird o_O ahah. I kinda feel bad sometimes when I don't recognize the other person xP The only people that I do end up recognizing are people that went to my Ryerson audition or York audition. But yeah, it feels good to know that people do remember my dancing =]

Overall, I really like university. I just hope I don't start my procrastinating ways again... >_> I probably will end up doing so. lulz. I just hate how much money we have to spend on books that we're barely gonna use! T_T I seriously need a job.

Until next time.
