It's only been my second year and I can't believe how much has changed since then. I kind of get the gist of where I should be at for the time being but I haven't reached it yet. I can independently cook, clean, and do all my laundry, but personal hygiene might have taken a stock market crash. Maybe it wasn't valued to me for a while but I've decided to change that along with many other things. I have decided to change my work ethics along with my daily routines as well.
I've discovered this thing called a vegetable. It seems to be what food eats, but apparently it's good for me too. I started eating more salads and fruits and such in supplement to my regular chunk of meat meals. On top of that I have stopped using the Forman Grill, toaster, and frying pan to burn the crap out of everything I eat. I started using the microwave to heat things up and the pot to boil things instead. Although it make not taste as good, in the long run these practices will define how I live for the rest of my life.
It's been two years and I've gone from playing sports to fat lard that can't even do three push ups. That's right people, three push ups. Wow that must be attractive to so many people. I will try my best to stay in shape by walking to places and working out more or so I will "try". Let's hope I don't cave in the next hour and a half. As for diet I will try to eat bigger meals in the morning and smaller meals at night, which you are supposed to do but food just tastes better at night!
The last two years haven't been a complete waste, since I can bake things now. I tend to dress a little less sloppy, and I have better time managing skills. Fixing my sleeping schedule might be a problem but other than that I seem to be pretty solid for time management. I've also become much more independent when it came to having company or being bored when people arn't around. I picked up old hobbies and have stopped drinking and partying. Maybe it's just not my cup of tea. I don't even like tea. I wonder what I'll stumble across next. Stay strong Kevin! I hope I'll be able to go through with everything I've set out!

Long night
This was an interesting week. I've also been watching all the Resident Evil movies since I just recently watched Resident Evil: Afterlife, and I thought to myself "Oh! Maybe it'd be cool if I actually knew what was going on!" It's been a pretty chill and I was able to jump for joy figuring out that I passed a course I thought I would've failed. My mark on the exam was a 63% and I panicked. But I added all my marks up and my final grade was a 65.25% which was just about a pass. The passing grade for all my courses is 65%.
To celebrate such a great finding me and my friends went to a comedy show featuring a tall guy called Dylan, and a french guy called Derek Seguin. They were both hilarious and super awesome! I never stopped laughing and it was the perfect stress reliever. I can't really repeat any of their jokes because they are either filled with too much swearing or it had to be told by them since they make the joke what it is. Whether it is their tone of voice, their accents, their facial features, or their funny sounds. They own the joke and telling someone else's joke is always a tough one.
I do remember this one joke though. Do not read this if you are too innocent to watch anything that doesn't have ponies in it.
***Dylan: I think porn is important in a relationship. I say that because being with one person for your whole life can be tough. Guys will never be everything you want them to be. We will never be a hunky fireman with strong ripping muscles but still cares about you in a timid way, that buys you flowers on Thursday just because it's Thursday. And for us guys, well... you girls no matter how hard you try.... will never be a threesome.***
It's probably more of a guy joke than anything else. It's been a long night because I haven't had any solid sleep since Saturday. I do not know what happened but I haven't been able to sleep throughout the night without waking up. I always wake up every other hour to turn. It all feels like a very tiring blur. On Thursday though I went downtown in hopes of playing a tournament but I thought it was canceled due to the lack of attendance. That was not the case though because 10 mins after I left I got a text from a friend saying they all showed up to play. Oh well what can you do. I then got invited to go out for the night and it was actually a lot funner than I expected. I do not really remember much of it but it was a good night.

Shades of Gray
In my life I've seen so many shades of gray;
I see everything in black and white so what can I say.
With a heart of darkness I see pitch black;
My days seem dark but not as dark as my nights.
My soul so pure it seems almost clear;
Like the smile you once gave me as clear as light.
For you I shed my shades of gray;
To find out all that I had lost that day.
Shades of gray can you lend me some red green or blue;
I haven't seen a spot of happiness since the day I met you.

First day of labs
So it's the first day of labs again at school and I've started safe administration of needles as a review and how to removal staples and sutures. To start off this glorious note, yes Adace I wish I was in Mexico right now cause I'm cold and yes Chanelle I am indeed awesome =). Anyhow, getting back to the topic at hand. My first impression for the teachers was probably not one of epic proportions since I showed up late! The traffic got me stuck for a good twenty minutes in the turning lane. This all happened as the bus continually jolted us forward pressing a relatively hefty man into me. I was not saying that he was sweating and gross, but I definitely felt moisture. In lab there really wasn't much. Just went back from talking to simulation where we got to do stuff. It was really fun and fast actually. But having to be in front of a teacher made me really anxious. Having to behave isn't a concept I have really grasped yet, cause I'm so used to doing whatever I want even in clinical most of the time. It was nice seeing everyone though and all the pretty girls haha. Then I headed home, which was pointless, since I had a group meeting two hours late at school. A couple of friends and I ended up playing pool after the meeting and then headed over to Harveys. The last time we were there their card swiping machine wasn't working so they gave us back one of two cards. One had twenty five dollars on it and the other had three dollars on it. They said they could cover for the buck that we needed to pay but instead gave us back the twenty five dollar card. We all knew but chose not to say anything since we didn't want to be "that guy that gave back twenty five dollars to people that hated their jobs". It was a nice meal. It tasted like free, and that's my favourite flavour. Haha I have a bit of Asian in me I guess. I wonder what's happening in Toronto....
First weekend of 2011
I spent the last few days playing Magic the Gathering and entering free or cheap tournaments to get back into standard format. Magic is a game where after every two years your cards are no longer legal to play in tournaments so I had to build a new deck. It wasn't cheap but it was a whole lot cheaper than what everyone else was spending. I played $400 decks and still somehow managed to win. The first tournament I got first but it was an easier tournament with less people. On Friday I played Friday Night Magic and got 5th or 6th in my bracket which was a lot better than I anticipated since I ended with 3 wins and 2 losses. The two losses were also very close games since I lost in 3 and not two straight games. Everyone I played was more experienced and better than me too, a bunch of people said they were surprised with my standings.
It's fun to do geek stuff cause I miss being a total geek. I miss being able to be around other geeky people and be in a social network where I have to be someone I'm not to impress people. At least being a geek, I can relax a bit. Unless I'm playing a game then I get uber stressed out and want to rip my hair out.
Moving on then. The second day of lab was ridiculous. I spent the whole night reading up on things to be on top of my game. I was afraid someone would ask me something I didn't know and I'd get into trouble. But instead I kind of screwed up. I was half awake for lab so I wasn't paying much attention to anyone else. I was so focused on my own actions I started to act out what the teacher was saying. It wasn't too long before she started screaming "Stop it Kevin! We're not on that yet you're going too fast!". I snapped out of it for a while and we were all good. But disaster never strikes just once. I was playing with the medicine label for the IV bags and everyone saw me doing so, so they decided to put theirs onto the bag. I hadn't really done much but my teacher said "No!! You're supposed to mix the medication in before you label! Or else you won't know if there's anything in there! See Kevin, everyone's following you cause you were going too fast. See what happens?"
Gosh I felt like such a jerk after that. I apologized to her after class but she said it was ok. She's a new teacher so I didn't want her to think I was bullying her or anything I was just extremely tired homeslice. I wrote a letter today. But I don't know if I'll send it. What if they stopped thinking about you? What's the point? I don't know you tell me. The thing that really holds me back from doing a lot of things is the fact that I know... nothing is 100%. But then again, if we only did things we were completely sure of we wouldn't get much done. Help understand...... I don't know what I'm doing!

One long holiday
My winter break consisted of nothing other than pure evil. You'd probably be thinking, "Oh Kevin, how can that be? Where's your holiday spirit?" Well then, I must say, it was stolen by the holiday felon known as my parents. Dun dun dun.... *dramatic theme must insert*. The first day was alright, I went to the mall with Chanelle and watched Tangled. It was a really cute movie and I wanna own a chameleon now. To this day I still can't see anything in 3D, I don't know why I pay for it xD. But after that it snowballed into one big clusterfuck. I had plans with several friends and all of them got rescheduled to the next week since my parents told me on the 22nd that we had family events from the 23rd to the 26th and it was the first time notifying me. On top of that I was running on very little sleep since Ashton's Christmas present was a had coloured poster I had drawn. It took me three long nights to complete but it looks alright I guess. You can see it in my art photo album "Project Animus". Animus means extremely hatred in English but it's actually Latin for courage! Haha hope people don't get that mixed up! Anyhow back to the story. With no sleep and lots of disappointment I still was not going to be defeated. But then again there was Self & Others, a course half my class was worried about failing because of its ambiguous answers and ridiculous themes. I needed a 65% on the exam to pass the course since my courses are a 65% passing rate anyways. It was super stressful and to this day I still haven't received my mark. The week after, my parents randomly decided to rip out all of our carpet for hardwood flooring and so they forced me to stay home and help lift stuff and such so I wasn't able to go out to see most of my friends again. I got to see most of my guy friends once but that was about it. On top of all this nonsense my parents wouldn't stop yelling at me for pointless things that didn't matter and telling me I was useless and fat. Well the jokes on you! I bought so much nice cloths with your debit card. Muahahahaha. That's a passive protest right there. Such a merry Christmas. They stole my New Years Eve, and my Christmas Day, so I did some retail therapy. Man it's good to be back in London! I didn't really get to see Ashton, Tanya, or Mary Lee but it's ok. I'm hopeful for the future.
