So, I've been trying a few new things with my little camera, trying to see what its capable of and what I am capable of with it, and here are a few of my favorites!

just when I thought I had things all figured out...

I got the 4pm wake up call! No I did not sleep till 4 o'clock, it was a different sort of wake up call, the one that kind of shakes you out of the confident thinking that sometimes deludes you (me, at least) into believing you can handle life on my own. I can't. I try, but I shouldn't be trusted, or I shouldn't trust others.. I signed up for some energy saving plan as part of my ongoing effort to trust the people around me an not believe there is danger or scheming everywhere. You know... giving people the benefit of the doubt... Not again... at least not for awhile... or just not tomorrow... tomorrow I need to be tough so I can get out of this! I got suckered and deceived into some energy plan and am extremely thankful for my friends at work telling me how to get out of it. Everything in Ontario feels a little different so it makes it harder to know who to trust and who not to. I'm learning, but apparently it is not without its bumps...

On a completely different note, I got some of the good/bad news when it comes to me being able to graduate in December. The bad news is I need 7 classes instead of 5. The good news is, I have been approved to take all 7 this semester and it will only cost me the same as if I was taking 5... you don't get charged more than 5 classes! How crazy is that? If I had know that, I would have taken 6 this summer and this winter... I could have finished almost another year! hahaha... Okay, better question, how crazy am I? Or maybe how bored am I? Or maybe everyone who reads this can fill in their own question that will be pretty much equally valid! I think I just like a challenge, and this may be a big one. I've done 7 classes before, and worked a job that was a little more emotionally challenging than my job as a server is, so the challenge is to avoid stress, and laugh lots about it and finish with better grades than I did the last two semesters just to stick it to the academic man... So, wish me luck... and don't put up with any complaining cause I have pretty much double dog dared myself to do 7 classes working 5 shifts a week... this will most definitely be a blast!
