The thing that really irked me was that I got this text from a guy, who was trying to explain to me why he wasn't replying to my texts. The text didn't bother me, well it did, it's just the way he used the word ignorant. Thinking that it was in the right context. Mind you this was in August or something, so I don't have the text anymore. But he was trying to make himself all smart and justified for not texting, by saying, "Sorry that I've been so ignorant, theres just been so much going on in my life..." Pretty much paraphrasing what I remember from that text. I'm quite sure that he was trying to use the verb, 'ignore', and tried to spice it up and make himself seem "smart". But it totally backfired on him.
When I first saw the text, for one thing, I was extremely tired, and hung over, but when I read it, I was pretty sure the word ignorant was used wrong. When I got home, I checked the definition and reread the text, I knew for sure that it was wrong.
The irony in this is that, you are being quite ignorant. Trying to use the word ignorant, but the context it was in, was totally wrong.

Positive Change - Mini Bio

I know my last few blogs seem extremely pessimistic but I was in a really dark place. But now I'm in I guess in a more enlightened place. I know what direction I want my life to go in now. I'm gonna head out east attend, Vanier Cegep, in Montreal. <3 ren, rather than modern), which means I'll be studying five languages. English and French, since it's mandatory, and I'm gonna be taking Spanish, Italian and German. Which I'm pretty stoked for. Also, it means that I save a year in university. <3 Which for me is the metaphorical, cherry on top of the cake, or whatever. (I never was really good at English expressions.) It makes me happy that finally I'm gonna go somewhere where I'll be accepted, rather than this stupid little white washed town. Having such an eccentric name, which no one knew how to pronounce properly. Also, I'll be accepted in the sense that I'll be able to get into the school easily. Which makes me extremely happy haha. And hopefully during my two years of studying out there, I'll be able to get my Polish passport, allowing me to have proof that I am in fact a Polish citizen, and maybe sneak off to Poland for a little bit, and other places in Europe. And just stay there, since I'll be able too. That's about it.
In summary as to the things that I've been doing since my last blog post, in July?
- Went for 2 weeks with the Nuspels to BC. Which was fun.
- Pretty much between BC and me leaving for Montreal, I watched Charmed, and went to Calgary, saw Nina, Chadd and Justin.
- Went to Montreal from August 28th till September 21st.
- Been sick with a cold, went to a party in Canmore, saw Sky, caught up with her.
- Had a girls night at my uncles.
My plans for this week are:
- Go to the job resource centre, get help with my resume.
- Go apply at places for a job.
- Reorganize, and rearrange my room.
- Find milk crates, and steal them early in the morning.
- Go clubbing with the girls Wednesday.
- Get into French class. Fingers crossed that they have enough room.
- Study for my learners. e___e
Thats about it. I think I'm gonna start doing that, each Sunday, think of the things that I have to do for that week, and list them, so that I know what I have to do and such. :]
I'm extremely content with life right now.
