What a Day!

I am currently in the office all by myself (everyone else is either part time or works from home a few days a week).  Morning started out great and then I got a piece of really bad news regarding the company and now I am overwhelmed with work to do and will be here probably until 6 tonight.

Oh well! I guess I'll go get another coffee and sit at my desk some more.  No OOTD today but hopefully I can get a couple more up this week.  This is a completely unnecessary post but I needed a minute! :)

OH.MY.GOOOOOSH!

I have not posted in MONTHS! A lot has been going on with me so I do believe I have some excuses.  I moved out at the end of the summer with my boyfriend.  We decided it was about time and decided to go for it.  We actually decided to rent the first place we saw.  It's the first floor of a nice home in Toronto that we just fell in love with and that we had to snag because so many other people were planning on viewing it.  It's a small two bedroom, with a walk in closet off of the second room. It's really ideal for us right now.  I also got a full time job that I am enjoying so much!  I am an administrative assistant for a medical company and It's going well.  They're even paying me to take a course for web design in January, and I get to travel across Canada for some of our events.


So that is just a bit of an update.  Chances are I will try to update every now any then *BUT* I don't actually have internet at home (or cable for that matter) so I will probably do a few posts on the same day and then nothing for a while.

Thanks for reading!

FINALLY!

I am finally able to get back onto my blog! My days of homework, exams and presentations are done..I graduated at the end of April from my program and started my new job last week.  I haven't been able to get on my blog because I work 7 days a week ( I kept my retail job for weekends and work 9-5 during the week), my parents just sold our house, I just got my first apartment and am preparing it before I move in next week.  Just a ton of changes for me, I'm really excited! I hope to get back to posting on a weekly basis

Finally passed my G2 Driving Test!

I had my G2 Road test today at 9am and ohhh my lord I am soo happy that it is finally over.  I didn't sleep AT ALL last night (literally no sleep) and I was really, really nervous.  I got out of bed at 7 and went practicing.  Guess what? As I was practicing, the automatic steering (I think thats what my boyfriend called it) started to fail!! My boyfriend drives a Pontiac and one of the issues for this car is that this often fails in his specific model.  Apparently he got it fixed but it broke today.  Basically when I try to turn or park going under 30 miles an hour, its almost impossible to turn the wheel..you literally have to put ALL of your muscle into it and it looks really, really bad; like you don't know how to control your vehicle.  However, it only gave me a problem during my parallel park and fortunately it didn't cause too much of an issue. I PASSED!!! So I can officially drive alone, on the highways, at night etc. 

For those of you who are about to take your G2 test (also called your G1 Exit test), I did make some small errors (a bit of a wide left turn, forgot my e-brake when parking downhill) but if you really drive with confidence, do frequent mirror and blind spot checks and come to a complete stop at all the appropriate stops, you will pretty much pass. Also, make sure you know how to do an emergency stop (downhill and uphill park too), parallel park and reverse park...even though she didn't have me reverse park, 9/10 people usually have to.  Overall it was a really positive experience.  And don't forget, if you fail you can retake the test in two weeks..so just practice, practice, practice!!

If anyone needs some tips or has questions about the test, feel free to comment and I will get back to you :)
