ignoring real life by escaping to burlington

The view from the top of Mount Nemo, along the Niagara Escarpment, taken this afternoon.

so, right. my final existentialism essay is due tomorrow by 4PM. and I've been here in burlington for a full day now, and I'm probably staying over for another night. oops!!!

but really, I've been in school since january 8th - I can really say at this point: screw you, school! and that's precisely what I'm doing/saying. it's terrible, but I really don't care. I've got five more days to go until I go home. the feeling I have right now is very similar to running the very last bit of a race, when you're sprinting hardcore - except I'm just walking, because I'm so tired [of my life here.]

on that note, I am having a blast in burly for my last weekend before the summer. ash and her friend emma played over at Philthy McNasty's (local raunch bar) for "Earth Jam," and it was very very good. I would post pics, but ash would kill me... maybe later. it was a great set - the two artists before them were kind of brutal, though.


anyway. so I had a casting for Farley Chatto's show on monday, pretty sure I didn't get it though. I wonder why? I mean, this whole modeling thing is cool, except for the rejection part. I mean... it's part of the job, but it'd be really great to know why you didn't get certain things, to see if you can improve on them. it just lowers your self-esteem otherwise - well no, not lower, but makes you question if you need to be doing something differently, working out, being less nice and more manly, etc. etc. - just something on my mind.



something also on my mind... this summer, some of my friends won't be coming home this summer. I mean most will only be a few hours away, but one friend in particular will be staying in Ottawa. I mean, I'm not shocked, but I'm sad at the same time. it's truly not the same when your friends stop living in the same city that you do, it's a pretty big shock. I hope everything will be allright. I have an interview at City Hall on the 30th, for some job in Human Resources maybe? I'm really not sure what position I'm going for, they just randomly called me.


so I should leave now, I feel rude for not chilling with my hosts. oh, and today was AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL... wowww. 22 degrees tomorrow as well!


...it's get significantly colder once I get home. can't wait. launching my new blog thursday!
