22. I don't feel like writing this.
Date: Saturday, December 18, 2010
Time: 8:43 p.m.
Reason: I've been trying to fight off these tears for hours so that I wouldn't have to write this entry. Most of my friends have left for Christmas break and I'm still at school. I've spent the past few nights watching The Office by myself. I'm lonely and I want to go home.

21. "I am really proud of you."
Date: Friday, December 17, 2010
Time: 11:32 p.m.
Reason: The internet bill at my house has been a bit too high the past few months so we are trying to avoid streaming. Which is why I've been watching old episodes of The Office on dvd. Tonight I was watching one where Pam has an art show and invites everyone from work. Only a few people show up, and she's really disappointed. Just as she's packing it up, Michael comes and asks to buy a watercolour of the office building. He oohs and ahhs over her work and says, "I am really proud of you." Very touching! Plus, emotions are always high because of the whole Jim/Pam situation so I am basically a few sweet moments away from tears every time I watch season three.

Date: Monday, December 13, 2010
Time: 11:00 a.m.
Reason: My amazing boyfriend left to go home for Christmas today. I cried as we were waiting for his cab to take him to the train station. He kept making me laugh to cheer me up, but it made me cry more because nobody else can make me laugh like that. Love you Marc!

15. "Calloused Hand by Calloused Hand"
Date: Wednesday, November 24, 2010
Time: 10:28 a.m.
Reason: In reporting class today, we watched Obama's victory speech. The point of the exercise was to write a news story on the event, however, I was far too emotional to write anything serious enough for a newspaper. The part that really got me was when he thanked his wife and children. And, probably my favourite line in the speech, the quote in the title of this post. I would also like to note that as soon as my professor announced the task, I said, "Oh great, I'm going to cry." If you have time, even if you've already seen it, watch the speech.

14. Daron Richardson
Date: Thursday, November 18, 2010
Time: 4:21 p.m.
Reason: On my break at work I picked up a copy of the Metro that was laying on one of the tables and started to read the story about Daron Richardson. It was so heartbreaking. I knew a few sentences in that I should not have read it while at work because a quarter of the way through the tears were streaming down my face. Please pray for the Richardson family.

10. Wrong Side of the Road
Date: Sunday, November 7, 2010
Time: 3:46 p.m.
Reason: I waited 20 minutes for my bus and then watched it drive past on the other side of the road. Can anyone explain to me why a bus that goes through BILLINGS BRIDGE on its way DOWNTOWN would not pick you up at the transitway station with a big arrow saying BILLINGS BRIDGE, DOWNTOWN?
I was also extremely hungry.

8. Missing Out
Date: Friday, November 5, 2010
Time: 4:06 p.m.
Reason: I found out for sure today that I will not be able to go on a family trip that's been in the works for months because I have to work and there is no one that can switch shifts with me. And I am even more upset because if I had called one day earlier to book it off it would have been no problem. Look for an entry soon with the following reason: I can't stop kicking myself.

Date: Wednesday, November 4, 2010
Time: 12:06 a.m.
Reason: Marc and I were taking a shortcut through a park to his house and I was telling him that I was really glad that he was there because I would be scared if I was by myself. Then, he grabbed my arm and said "LOOK OUT!" He told me he was joking right after but it was too late. I was already crying because I was so scared.

6. I Don't Like Tuesday
Date: Tuesday, November 2, 2010
Time: 10:53 a.m.
Reason: This morning my Mom emailed me saying our family dog is going to have to be put down in a few weeks. Then I called work to book next weekend off to go to London with my family and they told me the schedule has already been made. I am so not used to working for a big, super organized company!

3. Wake Up Call
Date: Thursday, October 28, 2010
Time: 8:13 a.m.
Reason: This morning I got a call at 6:50 a.m. It was my boss. I was supposed to be at work. My shift was scheduled for 6:30 - 10:00 which I assumed was p.m. I was wrong.
They asked me to come in but there was no way I possibly could as I had scheduled my whole day thinking I was working at night. This should have been my second shift. I don't think I'm making a great impression.
I tried to go back to sleep for a bit and then when I got up at 8:00 a.m. I texted my boyfriend with the news. He called me and many tears later I had told him the story.

1. Talking to my Mom
Date: Saturday, October 23, 2010
Time: 11:38 a.m.
Reason: I called my Mom and she told me this story about a family in my hometown who was struggling. I was already crying at that point and then she told me how their neighbours and our church helped them out and I just couldn't stop. So Mom, if you thought I wasn't listening, I was. I just didn't say anything because I was crying too hard.
