*is cold*
Finally they've turned the furnace on in my house so it might get warm again today.
Positive:
- I dropped off my resume at LQ and the lady there was really happy to see a resume come in, so I have good feelings about this one too.
- Someone called about my bag this morning and said they had it. I have yet to figure out who, but the fact that someone has it is encouraging. *hits head* and I know how they called me too... wait, will save that for later.
- Had a great time today playing some games of lasertag and going out for dinner, plus I went shopping and bought the pyjama's that I wanted, the clerk was really nice and assumed I was buying them for my girlfriend (I did nothing to discourage her of this notion).
Negative:
- I have to do my english essay now. (I never liked writing essays) but I suppose I'll survive.
- I went into Rideau to see if they had my bag, Customer Service did not have it, nor did the Bay and there was no one at customer service in Sears, so I now suspect that one of the stores has it instead and I'll have to listen to the message a few times before I figure out which store it is. (start's with a D, that's all I can make out.)
I think my mom and dad are becoming more comfortable with the idea of me and Courtney being together. We're having lots of conversations about things related to her visit and the future and they seem to be, if not happy, then at least comfortable now with the idea, and not resigned as it was before. Getting lots of help and ideas from them concerning financing and university. I think I can handle the money without a loan and I'm sure I can handle it with a loan, but I'm going to try and do it without for obvious reasons.
I've added a little bit to Dawn. Next step I think is actually going to all the places I've described (Rideau, the bus depot, the TV room, downtown ottawa, the lookout, the museam) and do some really good descriptive work while there, find some inspiration. May take off one day after all my classes are over and do that, preferably with a friend who doesn't mind walking around all those places and sitting for awhile at some of them. I have been to all of them... it's just I think that while I'm there I'm better at describing it than trying to rely on my memories of the place.
I'm getting nervous about writing the next chapter of the story, as it's largely about things that I have little to no experiance with and I think it'll show in my writing. But there's no harm in giving it a try is there? At worst, it'll need a lot of updating and reality-ization by a few kind souls.
If you'd like to help with the editing/revision of Dawn, or just want to read the story, goto the Dep Dawn LJ Community and read/post comments or ask me for a copy at school. Anyone who wants to help is welcome to and I'll probably end up having an editors list for the story for everyone who helped with the editing.
School again tomorrow, my late day. I'll probably go in for eight anyways and put the finishing touchs and formatting on my essay, then go slip it under his door.
alright, that's about it for now.
off to do my essay.
Later all!
