♥ Scars are souvenirs you never lose Well, it's been a while. Sorry about that. Hmm...what to update on... Well, I went to Prince George on Monday and got my dress fixed. It turns out that woman in Penticton lied to us, and did cut the fabric out inside. I couldn't believe it. Thankfully there was just barely enough left to fix it. The lady took as much as she possibly could out (it was originally too big, then the first woman made it too small) and it just barely fits me. It's a perfect fit, it looks great. She even gave me a pair of earrings that perfectly match the rhinestones on the dress. The only problem is it's so snug that I can't breathe deeply (my chest gets stuck halfway through the breath). I think that was unavoidable though, because if it were any looser it would still be sliding off. So I'm hoping I can get through prom night without suffocating. I also had to get my boots fixed (again), and bought two lovely, overpriced outfits. I've begun to pack up my bedroom. I'm going to need a lot more boxes than I anticipated. I can't believe I'm leaving in 2 weeks. As it turns out we aren't getting our apartment in Moscow until the middle of August now, because Dan needs to work all summer to save up money for a new car. I'm fine with that--it just means I'll be staying with his parents longer, so hopefully that's not a problem. And I pray that the immigration officer at customs lets me stay to visit that long. I'm sure it won't be a problem though, and we'll go meet my parents at the border in August to go get all my stuff. I registered for all my Fall courses at the University of Idaho. The only problem is I need to take placement tests for Math and English. Which means I have to pre-register for the course of my choice (whichever I think I can get into) and then when I get to Moscow, take placement tests. The only problem is if I were to do that in August, and didn't score high enough to get into my chosen courses, I would be dropped from them on the first day of school and have a hell of a time getting into new ones. So instead, I'm taking them when we go to Worley for prom at the beginning of May (since it's only an hour or so away). That way if I don't score high enough, I'll have more time to change my courses. But hopefully I will make it in. The only problem is I haven't been in school for 1.5 years, so I've forgotten most of the material I learned in Math. I also have to take a placement test for French, which is required of me in my major, and I haven't taken French since Grade 11, which makes that even harder. So I decided not to take French until the Spring semester, rather than study intensely for Math and French all in one month. I decided to try for Dan's Math class (we are also sharing 2 other courses, and both get Thursdays off, which is great). English shouldn't be a problem, since it is my major--but I chose to get into English 102, which I need to score 95%-99% on the Compass Exam to get into. I'm more worried about Math, though. Cross my fingers for me! I'm hoping everything will work out. We still have to get tickets for prom (not sure when they go on sale, Max needs to get them for us). It's sort of a pain because we need to be invited as a date of someone at Lakeside, so Max has to invite me, and we have to make sure there's a girl that can invite Dan, and just "pretend" we're dating until we get in there. Oh well, I hope that works out too... So, Easter weekend. Woohoo!! Who doesn't like Easter? Mmm...coloured eggs...jelly beans...good food.... I got my Tarot of Mermaids (finally) and I also bought the Quest Tarot while in P.G. I also bought some nice fabric to make a bag for it (quite lovely I do say, I make my own bags for all my decks) and some black velvety fabric to make a cover for my crystal ball, and to make a bag for my Swietlistej Drogi Tarot which I am awaiting from a contact in Poland! It's a difficult deck to come by right now and I'm sure will soon be a collecter's item, and I'm only paying $30-$45 US for it as opposed to the online retail value of $80 US. Go me! Well anyway, I think I'm gonna get out of here, I have a lot of stuff to do before I leave in a couple weeks. Dan is being an egocentric jerk to me right now (and lately) for whatever reason. I've almost stopped caring. I mean you've got to be really fucked up in the head if you're acting selfish and negative right before your nightmare of the past 3 years is about to end. It just eludes me. Well, ciao. I Feel: Aggravated  Today's Song: Name - Goo Goo Dolls Dan Duration: |
