The Stampede is back in town… and it was Canada Day. What a week. Went camping last weekend, which was pretty sweet. I met a lot of cool people via a friend who invited me out. It was nice out there, however i still have these weird bites on my left calf, and i’m pretty sure they’re either ant or spider bites?! it’s like a mix between a bruise and bite… freaky. Also, another thought… am i the only person who doesnt smoke dope… like, i’ve only done it twice in my life, one time i was got really fucked cuz i was drunk, and the other time i was just really tired anyway, so all i felt was vertigo. Hmm…

So yeah, am i missing out and being a prude or maybe i happened to be surrounded by odd people?

I keep spending money! I haven’t even got my visa bill this month and it’s already almost at $400! Bad, Candice!!!! I went and did some much needed shopping. Bought some shorts, a summer dress, and kitten heels. Pretty sexy, i also bought a couple CDs. The music store was having a big anniversary sale. I bought Alexisonfire - Crisis, Coldplay - A rush of blood to the head, Death Cab for Cutie - Narrow Stairs, and Rage Against the Machine - The battle of Los Angeles… so i’ve been listening to them quite a bit…. i never realized how little CDs i actually own. I feel bad that i download so much, and i want to support the bands i like…. so yeah… i need to break down and buy more often.

But anyways, back to money, i’ve been eying MacBooks now… i really want one. I HATE my computer soo much, and everyone i know who does own a macbook says its the best thing they’ve ever bought (soo jealous). My screen is also starting to crap out on me… its doing that flicker thing all the time now… i’m scared one day when im writing a paper it’s just going to crap out and i’ll be screwed.

But anyways, i’ve also been going out a lot… like clubbing, dinner, lunch, pubs, dessert, dinner… lol

I think i should be cutting back a bit, but now i have to buy glasses, because mine broke, and i paid to get my eyes checked and found out a have a astigmatism. I also need to get a new muffler for my car, it’s a loud beast right now =) But yes… one day i will be able to save money again, right now i owe myself $200 because i put it on my visa to pay part of it off until i actually get my bill… grr… i don’t think i’ve ever spent so much money in my life.

So i listen to this Radio Station all the time, and i won a contest for their morning show. The contest is called “Exit to Adventure” and it has chapters in which the one i won was 2 tickets to see coldpaly live in New York City. When The Show called me, i didn’t answer my cell, because it’s usually the time when the hospital calls me to pick up shifts (which they did today), so later on yesterday, i checked my messages, Fraser had called me in his radio voice saying i won, i also had a message from their marketing chick to call them. so i got all the info, and i was about to send them my mailing address and things when i noticed the date of departure: June 23rd, the same day as the ONLY final exam i have this spring semester. SHIT, so i emailed he marketing producer back, asking about departure times to learn that the plane left at 1015am, 15 min after my final begins. weak. so weak.

So after all this drama with school and the radio station, i ended up having to give up the prize, and they had to redraw… blows, huh? I know… i cried. They talked about it on the radio this morning when i was driving to the seniors home…. about how sweet it wuld be and that an x-army winner was going… and it wasn’t me… sad =( I want your empathy

So i finally made my own layout for wordpress, FINALLY! Now that i have more time on my hands i was able to create one last night. Bu the crappy thing of going from high stress to low stress is getting sick. Last night, i started to get a sore throat, today it’s still sore, and it’s radiating up to my ears… i feel like my ears are leaking or something. I dunno what could have given me this sore throat but it sucks. The one night i have off this weekend, and i’m seriously considering staying in, even though i did absolutely nothing last weekend. But we’ll see i guess. I really do wanna go out, but this sore throat thing is such a big damper. But anyways, only one more week of school!!!! YAY

I can taste the end of this spring course. This weekend was spent on workign on my huge Discharge Planning Project, which was virtually never-ending. I had to end it, but i still wish i could add much mor rsources and referrals to my project, however, my instructors stressed not to create more work for myself in completing this assignment. Last night i worked until 9, so when i got home i worked on finishing my assignment till 3am. Suffice to say i am VERY tired and somehow i still have not collapsed into a nap yet. Luckily it’s all over and handed in at 9am today.

Suffice to say my weekend wasn’t very interesting and it was mostly spent inside my house. Hopefully next weekend will be a lot more fun-filled.
