Doooom!!!




I am definitely NOT a happy camper these days.For starters,I now officially hate UWI.I hate everyone and everything in it.Well,almost.I have been screwed over by UWI more times than a prostitute in New Orleans during Mardi Gras.If they`re not losing important documents of mine,they`re messing up my degree evaluation and trying to convince me that I have more courses to complete than I actually do.(Quick side note:if you`re a 2nd or 3rd year UWI student,make sure you get a proper degree evaluation done by your faculty.Trust me.) This time,my results for a course I did last semester have yet to be posted online although everyone else who did said course already got theirs.Apparently,someone must have neglected to post my marks and they are currently trying to rectify the situation.That was the explanation I got from my faculty office today after weeks of complaining.I kid you not.And don`t even get me started on "Summer School"...

I`m also going to boycott the Subway on campus. Those people manage to mess up my order every time I go there.Every.Single.Time. Like today for example;I went in,placed my order and everything was going swimmingly until I got to the end and they asked me which sauces I wanted in my sandwich.I told the guy I only wanted garlic sauce.Simple enough,right?Hell no!!!The a-hole behind the counter put everything BUT garlic sauce in my sandwich,including ketchup and mustard.Those of you who do not yet know this about me,let me clue you in:I detest mustard.Unless it`s green and comes with my order of sushi or authentic Dijon mustard,I refuse to have it on my food.I only discovered the mix up when I bit into the damn thing because I was paying for my food when the guy was dressing my sandwich.Grrr...

I`m impatiently counting down the days `til I`m on vacation.Work is okay these days but it could be better(I`m not even going to get into that now).I`m also exhausted and cranky because my next-door neighbour,in addition to blasting music at six in the morning every day,decided to burn her rubbish this morning.There was smoke and ashes everywhere,including our yard.Grrr...

I think I`ll go take a long shower,have a cup of tea,listen to some calming music and go to bed early tonight.Hopefully I`ll be less tired and pissed off tomorrow.

Living in Cyberland

Wow...I love the Internet...
Up until a year ago,all I used the net for was to check my e-mail (which was mostly spam) once a week.Now I`m a full blown Facebook addict,an avid blogger and a Myspace junkie.Lol.Myspace is a strange land,filled with some VERY interesting characters.I created my profile on friday and by saturday afternoon I had three friend requests,which I friend both very flattering and a tad scary.I`ve been getting lots of love and I`ve made 12 friends in 5 days.It`s this huge support group for artists;I love it!!I`m even thinking about joining Second Life,all for the sake of networking and webmarketing because let`s face it,when it comes to the Arts,it`s all about putting yourself out there and making contacts.My dear old friend Tracey,who is a brilliant artist and self-professed blog whore,has been browbeating me into posting more stuff,so here it is(Lol).I also got a lot of encouragement and feedback from people who read my previous rant,so I`m feeling much more optimistic and confident with respect to my creative stuff.Thanks all!
Cyberland is such a wonderful place to be...
