my weekend

hello blog readers :O)
nice of ya to visit!
on friday i secured a renter for our parking spot. we'll be getting $150 a month for it :O) and the lady that is renting it from us is a cirminal lawyer for the government! pretty cool eh? she asked me what i was learning and i told her about GCM and she was saying that's pretty good cuz it's so hard finding a job as a lawyer and it's so true... i'd totally be more stressed out about the future and paying the bills had i gone into graphic design... i'd be like the 10,000 other design grads in canada instead of one of the 70 GCM grads! last weekend i went to a friend's going away party and got the chance to talk to some new people there... one of them is in graphic design and she said something that kinda struck me... she said that she feels sorry for the guys in her program cuz men have to be the breadwinner and it's gonna be seriously hard for them to do that as a graphic designer... and the comment struck me cuz i didn't even think that way... i never made my university choice cuz i thought i'd find a man to support me once i entered the working world... i always thought i'd just do well and make my own money.... which brings me to another random but related thought... on the OC, julie got promoted to CEO and kirsten got promoted to CFO and her dad caleb said something along the effect of, "everyone knows that the one controlling the money is the one controlling the company." i kinda like the idea of controlling my own life thanks. even now, i have a lot of freedom cuz of where i live but also i'm very much so being supported by my parents so i'm not really the independent woman that i may look like... i can't go to ottawa and visit my ottawa guy cuz i'm worried of what my parents will think... i still feel like i have to ask for their approval... i'm also very much controlled by my friend's expectations of me... they think i'm one way and that i do things their way. i guess at one point in my life i did think the same way but my actions have reveiled to myslef that i'm not exactly like that anymore and sometimes i wish i still was.

on saturday i went clubbing with jen, winnie and janice cuz it was jen's sister's 20th birthday! we went to inside... i liked the music the whole night! they have really good dj's and a good ventilation system in the 1st and 3rd floors so you didn't get too hot in there.... and then at the end of night, they give you a bottle of water on your way out... the only complaint would be the prices of the drinks... i got a teeny tiny glass of coke and it was $3.50!!!! it was like half a can of pop for the price of 3 cans of pop! yikes!... but then you have to offset that with all the good music, great mixed crowd, and the free bottle of water hehe. we danced from 11:00 till 2:00 non-stop!!! and the guys weren't grabby at all, which i loved! admission is $20 but we got in for $5 cuz of the guestlist... and the dj was nice and would shoutout birthday wishes and would include the audience in the songs "engine engine number nine... on the new york transit line...." hahaha so old school!

what's the best club that you've ever gone to?
