So I suck at math

So I took the Skills Assessment Test at Seneca, and I'm sad. It's a test to determine what level you should be in for your english and math classes. So I had four tests. An essay, an english computer test, and then an arithmetic test and an algebra test (both on the comp). The essay was easy enough, but you can't see your score. The comp tests give you the score that you got, but they don't tell you what level you were placed in. So all three computer tests were out of 120. On the english test, I got 106. Which is pretty good. On the arithmetic test, I got about 73. Which isn't too bad, really. On the algebra test, however, I got a 31. Yeah, that's right. A freaking 31. Wow, did I feel like a retard. I mean, I know I didn't take math past grade 10 ('cause Saddlemyre is a freaking dumbass and it's her fault), so I never learned a lot of what was on the test. But still, I didn't expect to score that low.

So I'll prolly have to do a non-credit upgraiding course. Which is fine, really. I mean, I haven't taken any math since grade 10, so I'm definately not at college level. Kinda sucks, but whatever.

So I leave for Montreal in just over a month. I'm so freaking excited!! I cna't believe I'm actually going!! I always have great ideas or opportunities like this, and I never get to actually do them. And this time I do!! I am definately looking forward to it.

So I'm still looking for a job. No one really wants to hire me, though, 'cause I'm leaving for 5 weeks, and then I'm going another week to the trailer. So I have no money. So I'm thinking of calling a telemarketing place, see if they'll hire me. 'Cause I can work there for like a month, and then leave. And I won't really feel bad because I can't do telemarketing for a long time, it makes me all depressed. I'm iffy on it, though, because it went so badly last time. I got pretty bad. Maybe I just can't take all those people yelling at me and being rude. But whatever, maybe it won't be too bad for just a month. I'll look into it.

Anyways, I'm gonna stop writing now. This has taken forever, since I was going between this, reading stuff, and having a joint convo with Tamara and Robin. Man, we get distracted and off-topic easily. But yeah, maybe I'll come back on sometime this weekend and write about camping. It was interesting. Oh, and about last weekend. Nick's bday, then Nicole's. That was interesting. No more drinking with Sal and Robin for me!!

Anyways, bye bye now.

Camping!!!

So yeah, May 2-4 is here. For those that don't know, that's the weekend that we all go camping. This will be the fifth time that we're all going (four years for those who are confused). Honestly, this can be the best weekend of the year. It all depends on the weather. The weather makes people's moods.

We've actually had every kind of weather. The next time it was nice, warm, and sunny. The second year it poured non-stop and we woke up in puddles. The third time it was foggy. Last year it was freezing and it snowed. So we've learned to be prepared. I pack my bathing suit and my winter jacket. I pack tarps and my heater and some flip-flops.

I'm hoping this year it'll kick ass. There's 25 of us going. There's me, Anthony, Kasia, Tom, Ela, Jack, Sal, Tamara, Krystal, Jarx, Robin, Gavin, Nicole, Jesse, Kiki, Kiki's bf, Kasia's friend Shawn, and six of Jack's friends. And Jessica and Deanna will be coming up in sunday. So it should be fun!!!

I'm hopeing that it's nice and sunny, but really too cold for bugs. I hate bugs. They're the worst part about camping. They're all icky and ewwy.

Anyways, I'm happy. Me and Anthony have the whole set-up now. We have a nice, big tent, we have a kitchen tent, a matress, a heater, a stove, pots, pans, plates, tarps, tent light, chairs, roasting sticks, and so on. So now we don't really have to rely on anyone else for camping equipment. Just for a ride up there, because neither of us drives. Which sucks, but it really can't be helped.

Anyways, I'm gonna go watch some Criminal Minds with my sister now. I got the season one DVDs, and I've been watching every single episode. Such a great show. I want to become a profiler now. I guess it's a good thing I planned on taking criminology!!

And as a funny side note, my sister blew up a bottle of black hair dye in the bathroom tonight. The wall looks awesome. I thought it was hilarious!!!
