8:14 pm	Travel Plans So I love to travel. Its definitely something that I couldn't go my entire life without doing. And with that my brother and I have been planning on going to China this summer, though the funds for both of us are a little to low and it looks like we wont be going. This totally sucks! I've been looking forward to this for months, but with both of us working crappy retail jobs, it was unlikely we'd be able to save that much money in such a short amount of time.. So now it seems that its been postponed till the summer of 2006. This should give us the time to save up and have a blast when we're there. This also means that we wont have to take a guided tour since I'll now have time to plan out our route. Obviously we'd be going to all the obvious places i.e. Beijing, Shanghai and Xian, but I'd also like to go to Tibet (maybe thats obvious aswell) and would like to end up in Hong Kong for some serious shopping. I hear that they have an amusement park in Hong Kong; that might be a blast. So we'll see. Thinking about the trip has taken up a lot of my time, so now maybe I can focus on all the school work I have to do. Essay due next thursday?! No problem.... HA! Maybe one day I'll stop being such a procrastinator. unlikely Current Mood: is my GPA high enough? Current Music: hhmm.. pretty much the same as last.. I need new music (Comment on this)

9:54 pm	Newbie Well, this is my first entry, lets see how long I keep this up. I recently went looking for some old web pages I use to do in my "youth" and was horrified to see that they were still up and running. I had this horrible page of "rants" which of course was my bitchings written down. To read the things that I said was disturbing. I was so bitchy! Not that much has changed now, but I doubt I'd write what I wrote then now... if that makes any sense whatsoever. Maybe a few years from now I'll look back on this first post and realize that nothings changed. Its likely that things will piss me off and I'll write about them here. Is that not the purpose of a journal, to write down your feelings and thoughts? Though usually it takes the form of some pink plastic thing with a cheap lock so that your brothers couldn't read it easily.... Well, I'll try to restrain myself. Well, lets see whats been occupying me for the last little bit. I've taken an interest in my post secondary education past my two bachelor degrees, but where do I do my masters and doctorate? First off, I hope that i'll specialize in Near Eastern ARt and Archaeology, which limits where I can go. So far the front runner is the University of BC, next would be U of Toronto, then after that the frightening U of California Berkeley... Could I, a little Canadian girl really go to Berkeley? Its an option thats for sure... Well it would be an option if they wouldn't charge me the ridiculous $7000 "international students" fee... I wouldn't really call Canada International, not in relation to the USA. Anyhoo, that extra moola would bring up tuition to a whopping $11500! Ha! and then with the expence of living away it'd be around $35000 and thats American dollars. I think I might be dreaming if I think I'd be able to go to Berkeley.. Alas, my hopes have been dashed. and so I sleep Current Mood: distressed Current Music: Various: Tori, Sarah Sleen, Radiohead, Sam Roberts etc. (Comment on this)
