Daddy

The lines the wrinkles
your down-turned mouth
Your sadden eyes
and your balding scalp

Daddy oh Daddy please do not stress
Life's all about forgiveness
not bitterness.

Please look at mommy and say you forgive
because if you do not
the hatred inside will never cease

So let go of the past
and walk with me
on the plateau of the present that's where I'll be

Waiting for you forever and always
By your side your little girl.

What do you do when your sitting in front of the computer and the clock is nearing four-thirty in the morning?

I am contemplating.... ..... the year is 2009 and it is humiliating to admit that I Gladys Ann Opeda who recently turned 21, has done nothing with my life.

From throwing thousands of dollars towards my college funds to failing pathology last summer and inevitably getting kicked out from the nursing program to simultaneously letting my driver licence expire and breaking up and getting back together with my on again and off again boyfriend, I have accomplished nothing whatsoever. I have come at a full circle.

From the fall of 08 till now, I have gone through a torrential downpour of emotions from depression, humiliation, disappointment, sadness, anger and denial and finally acceptance over my stupidity.

I have yet to find my inner courage to confront my dad and announce to him that his younger daughter will not be following through with her plans of becoming a nurse.

So here I sit in front of my computer eye balling the clock as I typed out my first blog in months....

Oh my god where has the weeks gone? I cant believe Im starting school again tomorrow. I am literally petrified of one of my courses: Pathophysiology. Holly freaking hell!! I havent taken a biology course for over 2 years and my memory cells are completely fried.

Im so looking forward to my summer knowing that patho plus four other nursing courses are on the horizon.

=(

An hour in the gym has proven to be very painful.

My muscles are screaming for relief and my joints are creaking with pain.

No more splurging on Denny's.

Seriously.

To whom it may concern:

Ahem!!

Two years ago when I was in college and paying $65 worth of monthly pass, I was furious to discover that UBC and SFU students were given U-passes that were very cost-effective to their budget while many other students like me who didnt attend such a prestigious institute were shut out and left hanging.

WHAT WAS THE DEAL??!!!

So in the summer of 2007, the Langara Student Union petitioned about the injustice of it all and thus a vote insued. After the ballots were cast and counted, the majortiy voted in support of the U-pass. Long story short, all Langera Students are now entitled to a U-pass.

However, the downside of this issue is that everyone has to pay. What this mean is that if your a student who drives to school, YOU HAVE TO PAY AS WELL (that's on top of paying for your tuition, books, gas, plus parking)

As of summer 08, all langara student have to pay $152/semester = 3 semester/year.

And that my friends is the story of how I am a newly cardholder of the precious U-pass even though I am not a UBC/SFU student.

I AM BACK!!

HELLO TO EVERYONE!

After my long hiatus, I would like to summarize what I have been doing this past 2007-2008:

1) Newly single........my relationship with Derek has finally gone down the tubes =) I am relieved; although I will miss him.

2) I am currently a nursing student going on to term 3 this summer...cross my fingers that I have passed this semester with flying colors. (I did cramm for all my finals so I guess we will see) FYI: If I am successful in my carreer venture, I will graduate in the winter of 2010 as a registered nurse: licensed to kill. =p

3) I still work at boston pizza: I am now your personal slave....(ahem....I meant to say waitress) yay!!

4) Got bored of facebook....so I shamefully returned to reunited with all my fellow bloggers.

5) Present: I am feeling sad and glad that summer is in the horizon.

6) Also present: I am petrified of next term: my schedule for term 3 will start early @ 5am, my clinical placement will prolly be at St. Pauls hospital, I have Pathology that will eat my life for the next two terms, and I am now currently a cardholder of a U-pass.


Goals for this week:

-Pay my $1,600 tuition via mastercard and my salary/tip$$
-Get my immunization records in order, and that would include getting a new TB test (grrr!)
-Work everyday
-Club everynight (lol ...I joke!)
-Try not to think of my ex.
-check and check again if I passed all my finals

PS: it's good to be back.....I MISS YOU ALL!


with love,

Gladypuss

IM BACK! MISS ME?!

A friend of mine made me feel so guilty for converting to facebook. So Im trying to awash my sense of guilt by attempting to blogg once again. Heres what I've done in the past 2 months: 1) Got employed at BP 2) Got in trouble from my Wrapzone boss for bad-behaviour. 3) In retaliation, I slapped him with my resignation letter. 4) Started dating again. 5) Oh yea somewhere in the middle of that two months, I got lazy and dropped my Psych course. 6) Stopped clubbing all together due to sheer exhaustion and my depleted bank account. 7) My weight has fluctuated due to the fact that my sister is currently employed at McDickies since she missed her in-service for lifeguarding. 8) Met random people thru facebook and such. 9) Hooked up with random people " " " .... regretting it =/ 10) .............. 10)
