i think the stress is finally gone

The last month and a half has gone by so fast for me but i'm glad because it's been pretty stressful. At the beginning of May is when i started my spring class, which so far hasn't been too bad. Although the presentation that we had to do for it was a lot of work and should have been worth more than 25%. but my group and i presented it on thursday and i think it went pretty well. and i'm just glad that it's over. the night before we were at the university from 6pm-1:30am working on the stupid thing. we had hit a snag at 10 and realized we needed to review 4 more articles. but now that it's all over, i definitely feel like the stress has been lifted off my shoulders.

and then there was work. at the beginning of May i was still working at Zellers and finding out that i had an opportunity to start at a new job that would pay me more money and would give me more hours. it was very hard for me to actually quit Zellers, even though i had been saying for the last couple of years that i should quit. but i made a lot of good friends there and i think that's why it was so hard for me. cause i hate being the new person. but so far at my new job, i get along with my co-workers and they all seem to like me. better than this other new girl that started like a day or so after me. noone really likes her cause she's kind of annoying and talks a lot. plus she can never seem to count her till right at the end of the night. but she's only there for the summer. and they also decided to start me on books, just so i can help out from time to time. so that's just counting the tills in the morning and making sure everything balances from the day before. well i know how to do that cause i did that for like 2 or 3 years at zellers in the cash office. so i don't think it will be that hard. and they have been giving me lots of hours. i seem to always get over 30 hours. so i'm good with that especially since i have to start making payments for my car. and it's nice to have some money. not that i go out much but still.

things with Brad are still going well. i think he's a little worried that we are taking things too fast and maybe he's right. i mean we haven't really had a lot of time to actually get to know each other. so we'll just continue to take things kind of slow, just kind of go at our own pace. but i do know that i really like him. i haven't felt this happy in a really long time. i mean sure i've been mostly happy in past relationships but not like i am with Brad. he's a complete sweetheart who always checks to see if i need anything or if he can do something for me and i really like that. and i like to be able to do that for him too. and he's very respectful of women too. and we seem to get along so well and my family and friends seem to really like him. i think they are glad that i'm not dating a computer nerd lol and i am too. its nice that he doesn't spend a lot of time on his computer. i hope that he's around for a long time in my life.

last night i was in the Relay for Life. i was doing it in honour of my dad and my uncle. i was amazed at how many teams there were and how many people came out for it. and i was even more amazed at how many survivors were there too. so many people have been touched with cancer and so many have actually survived from it. i just wish there was more people that would survive from it. but life doesn't work like that. i was just glad that i could be a part of the cause in the fight against cancer. and i hope to continue doing it year after year. Jody and i already have plans for our team next year. so that should be exciting. i saw a lot of people there last night that i knew including Mark my ex who completely snubbed me. i thought he was a nice guy but i think i was wrong about him. all he had to do was say hi back to me. but when i said hi back to him he just looked away. i know at the time he was by his dad's luminary but still. he didn't have to be rude. and then i saw him later on and he walked right by me and wouldn't even say hi. but whatever, i'm not going to worry about him. i've decided that exs are meant to stay as exs, not friends. as soon as i broke up with Mark, i should have just cut all contact off with him. he wasn't worth being friends with. i mean i made all the effort so it was bascially a waste of my time. i almost wish i never would have met him. even when i first met him i didn't really like him that much but i thought i would give it a try. maybe i just liked the idea of having a boyfriend but it wasn't right to date him cause i never really liked him as much as he liked me. but oh well. that's all in the past and it doesn't matter anymore. Brad is really important to me and he means a lot to me. he came last night to the relay and i'm really glad he did. it meant a lot to me. and i'll get to see him tomorrow night cause i'm going to spend the night out there. now that my class is almost over, maybe now i can spend some more time with him.

well that's all from me for now. i plan on being a bum for the rest of the night and just relaxing. it's been a long week and i'm in no mood to go out tonight.
