Dental Care.

ONE MONTH UNTIL CHRISTMAS! :D


I don't think it's hard to tell that i'm excited. But sadly, Christmas isn't the main topic in this blog.


Today is day three in Dance Class Drama. We're now trying to put the first verse, the chorus and the second verse together. This is an issue. There are people bumping into each other and people not making it to there positions on time, which would be me. This frustrates me only because the teacher informed us today that she is making cuts to those who can not perform the choreography perfectly. I can do the choreography, but by missing four counts because I can't get to my spot, worries me a bit. I really don't think it would be fair to be cut from the chorus that can be fixed with simple count adjustments. If I had a couple more counts, then I would be able to make it to my spot on time and perform the choreography. But, we will just have to wait and see what happens, I have my fingers crossed!


On another note, I had a dentist appointment after school. I would just like to say now, I hate the dentist and the doctors. I always have fear that they're going to tell me that something is wrong. But I was only going to get x-rays done.


Way back in December, I had a dentist appointment having to do with my wisdom teeth. In that x-ray, my surgeon saw a white and black spot on the left side of my bottom jaw. Nothing too serious but he wanted to keep an eye on it to see if it changed at all. So he had scheduled an appointment for me nine months later to see any changes.


Well that didn't take too long to turn around the corner! I went into the appointment nervous, even though I had no reason to be, it's just the way my nerves are. I got another x-ray done, and waited for the dentist. When he came into the room, he had the x-ray from today, and from my last visit nine months ago. The white and black spot had gotten smaller since the last time he x-rayed it, which is a good thing! He still wants to keep an eye on it just in case! So I have to go back in June for another x-ray, joy.


I can't remember exactly what he said it could be, it was a long word, but apparently it is common. The word lesion was mentioned so I suppose it has something to do with that. If it's not bothering me and causing me no pain, then it's nothing to really worry about. He did mention that if it happens to get bigger in the next seven months, he might want to do a biopsy to get a sample of my tissue and bone from that area. This I am not excited about.


But! It's most likely not gonna happen, and i'm pretty sure I have nothing to worry about. :)

This is my x-ray from December.

You can see that my Wisdom Teeth are still in my mouth!

They're not there anymore! :)

And the white faint circle on the right side near my front teeth,

that is what the dentist is keeping an eye on,

the circle is much smaller now than it was before. :)

Killin' Me.

Today was not my day.


I had conflicts with two out of four of my teachers today.


Walking into my Dance Class today, I had a positive attitude and was ready to put our dance together. Just when the teacher set us up into our rows, I could already feel myself start to get hot. It's quite obvious who was in the front row and who got shoved to the back. I really think the favouritism in the class needs to stop.


That was not the only thing to get my blood boiling. As we were learning the choreography, we learned a step where we had to weave through one another. When she wanted to see our row do it, we had a bit of a misunderstanding. In result, she treated us like babies and made the second row " demonstrate " for us again. We're not four year old children.


Yet that wasn't the only thing to piss me off. Giving into my " french attitude " that's exactly what I gave, but I did not expect her to imbarass me in front of the whole class. Going back to my blog from yesterday, I had discussed how I was a bit ragged at the end of my dance class yesterday due to the understanding that I may only be in one dance in the dance show. That is exactly what she brought up and used the word " whining " to describe my actions. I didn't think that was right at all.


After that I felt like I was the main target for the rest of the class. I ended up leaving the class in tears unfortunately due to stress. I don't think she realized how I felt, and I don't really think she cared to be honest. I was done with that class for the day, I really needed to cool off.


There are some worries that I may be cut from the dance now, but if it happens it happens. I've gotten over the fact that it may happen. Dance is only a hobby, not a profession that I wish to pursue, but it's no fun when you're in a competition with everyone else.


On another note, she was not the only teacher to get under my skin today. 


In my fifth period Business class, I have been absent from class seventeen days. Not because I skip because I don't wanna be in class, but because I have to work. Usually the way it goes, is I work once a week, usually it's been every Tuesday. If my mom can pick me up, then I am alright to go to class, if not, I have to take the bus. If I were to take the bus after school, I wouldn't get home until after three giving myself barely anytime to settle down and get ready before I have to head over to work. This is why when I have to take the bus, I just don't go to my fifth period class. 


Apparently this has become an issue. The Vice-Principle is asking for a list from every class of the students who have been absent fifteen+ classes. And I of course am once of those students. I don't exactly know what the consequences will be if I continue to skip, but it's something that I might have to do. I have an 88% in that class, so they really can't give me too much shit.


My teacher however was telling me how I could resolve the problem. Her suggestion was that I bring my dinner and work clothes to school so I can go to work right from school and eat my dinner there before my shift. I would rather not do that. There is a reason why I like to go home first. I like the chance to relax and eat before I have to go, I don't like to feel like i'm being rushed. I don't think she understands, I highly doubt she does.

But in the end i'm going to do what I want to do.

Dance In The Dark.

Dance class pisses me off sometimes.


Today was the day when we presented our five counts of eight. We had about fifteen minutes at the beginning of class to practice and get ourselves prepared. In that fifteen minutes we had to teach one of our group members three more counts of eight. That went really well, he picked up on it really fast! I don't even know how many times we went over it, but we were ready to present!


We were the fourth group to go, after watching other choreographed pieces I felt a bit nervous, they were really good and well choreographed. When it was our turn to go up, my heart was pounding very fast. We presented the dance two times, and both times went very well! We got no negative feedback and everyone seemed to like it! I was very excited about it.


After everyone had presented, my dance teacher wanted to put our parts together and form a complete dance. She grabbed group one and through a few more people into it to learn the choreography. Then the rest of us were thrown into group three to learn the sequence and perform it. She would then choose who to be in that group. 


At the end of class, the teacher made me a bit concerned. She had stated that if we didn't have time to complete the dance, then it would not be in the Dance Show. If this piece was not in the show, I would be in one dance. I didn't find that very fair seeing as there are a few students who are in three+ dances. I wanted to be in at least two dances seeing as my first dance has fourty dancers in it.


After talking to the teacher at the end of class, the conversation ended with the words, " Well that sucks. " I was not impressed and very ragged. I love to dance and I love to perform dance. To think that I may be cut to only one, made me feel like I was wasting my time and energy. 


But now, there is nothing I can do, other than wait and see.

Fact: I wish I could do the splits. :(

Keep It Simple.

What a shitty day.


For weather I mean. Woke up and it was raining. But surprisingly it wasn't cold!


I feel like there was no need to be at school today. Nothing was really done in any of my classes. Some notes, some explaining and some drawing. The most work that was done today was in my dance class. We have been assigned to create 5 1/2 counts of eight for our Site Passage. That in itself was a challenge for most of the day. My group got two counts of eight done during class, that took us an hour and fifteen minutes. We had to use our lunch time to finish our choreography. I'm a bit nervous to perform tomorrow, seeing as i'm not all confident in our dance, I wish we had a bit more time to work on it.


Once school was over my grandma had picked up me and my boyfriend up from school to take us back to her house so I could grab my Christmas decorations! As soon as I got back to my boyfriends house, I immediately put up the decorations! There is now a mini Christmas tree decorated with Hand-made Christmas Ornaments made by students from Public Schools sitting beside the television. Also a strand of lights and blue tinsel is hanging around the bedroom window. There is now some Christmas spirit in the atmosphere!


I really love Christmas lights. They make the surrounding so comfortable and cozy. We have no Christmas lights set up on the big Christmas tree yet, but very soon there will be! :)

Tis the season to be jolly. :)

Just What I Needed.

Oh what a weekend!


I must say, this weekend was fun! It doesn't happen often seeing as work usually drains me and takes away all the weekend fun, but not this weekend!


Saturday started off as any other Saturday, an early morning at work. It wasn't a bad day though. Having something to look forward to made the day go by a lot faster. It was my friend Jillian's birthday dinner at Crabby Joe's and I was pretty excited! Right after work I headed to Masonville to get her a gift card from Aritzia. I don't enjoy going to the malls at this time, they're so packed with people Christmas shopping. But I do enjoy all the Christmas decorations!


Once 7:00 rolled around it was time to pick up my friends! As far as Jillian knew, she was going out to dinner at a restaraunt with only three of her friends, but little did she know, all of her friends were going to be there for a big surprise!


Everything turned out great! As we guided blind-folded Jillian into Crabby Joe's, everyone was there for the big surprise! It was a fun night filled with laughs and chats. I thought it was really great how everyone was there, and that Jillian really liked my gift! The only thing I wish would have went better, were my pictures. Seeing as it was dim lighting in Crabby Joe's, most of my pictures turned out blurry. I was able to get a few decent shots though.


Once the dinner party was over, my boyfriend surprised me with an invite to go see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The movie started at 10:30 and was 2 and a half hours long. Seeing as I had worked that day eight hours and worked the next day seven hours, I was a bit skeptical about this seeing as we wouldn't get home until after midnight. But I didn't let that bother me, and I went anyways!


The movie was actually pretty good! I did not see the fifth and sixth Harry Potter movies though so I was a bit confused as to who the new characters were, but I still enjoyed the movie. In my opinion, I think people talked about it too highly. Hearing people say, " OH MY GOD IT'S SO GOOD! " and " IT'S AMAZING, YOU'LL LOVE IT! " made me think I was in for something big! But really, it wasn't anything too special.


I didn't end up getting to bed until around 2:00 in the morning, but surprisingly when I got to work, I wasn't tired at all. To be honest I was more awake then I would be after getting a seven or eight hour sleep! This makes me look forward to weekends in the future.


So maybe for once on a Friday, I can say TGIF! :)

I think Emma Watson is beautiful. :)

Holiday.

I feel accomplished.


I feel like for so long now I've been so behind in almost every class at school! Today I feel, was a very productive day. I am now all caught up in Dance and International Business. Which means I have a weekend free of homework! One less thing to stress me out.


I feel as if the past couple days my emotions have been a bit rocky. I don't exactly know why, this could have possibly been one of the reasons. It's a big lift off of my shoulders and one less thing I have to worry about.


On the good side though, today was PAY DAY! Sometimes it feels like this day doesn't come fast enough. There are a few things I need to pay for off of this pay. Christmas dinner, Christmas presents, Phone bill, Birthday and Groceries. I have a feeling after paying for all of that, my bank account won't be as big as it is right now. I've been trying since August to get my bank account sitting at a high number, but still have not accomplished that yet. I think that might be another issue stressing me out. I'm hoping after Christmas it will be easier to build it back up again.


On an end note, i'm excited for Christmas! :D

Everyday.

I did not go to my first period class today.


That is how my day started. Alarm went off at 6:30 AM and I was just too tired to get out of bed. I really shouldn't have skipped first period. First period is my Dance Class and we are starting our Modern Evaluations tomorrow. I could have used the extra practice. I was just so exhausted, I didn't have the ambition to get myself out of bed.


I ended up getting myself out of bed around 8:30. Even then I didn't have the ambition to get myself ready. I don't know what it was, but I just didn't want to be at school today. I think school is beginning to bore me now. Too many early mornings and long tiring days of the same routine. But you gotta do what you gotta do.


My school day wasn't all that exciting. Finished an assignment in Communications Technology. Got a bit caught up in International Business, still behind though. Then I once again for the second time this week, didn't go to my fifth period class, Business. I skip this class at least once a week, sometimes twice. Not because I don't like the class and want to skip for the hell of it, because I have to work.


I work part time at Tim Hortons. Usually one shift during the week from 3:30-8:00 PM. Getting out of school at 2:40 doesn't exactly give me that much time to relax or even eat dinner before I have to leave for work. Which is why I skip my last period class. It gives me time to go home, relax, have a bite to eat, and get ready at my own pace.


Work tonight, was a bit tiring. The fact that it gets dark now around 5:30-6:00 PM, doesn't help the situation. We were pretty busy today, busier than other days, but it helps the time go by faster. It was a really crappy night tonight. It was raining for the majority of it. And guess who had to take out the garbages in the pouring rain... It was not fun, but another day done!


Once the clock hits 8:00 I am relieved to be done. I'm at my boyfriends house now just sitting on his bed relaxing, something I feel like I haven't gotten to do all day! So i'm going to take this opportunity to kick back, relax, and do what I want to do! Goodnight! :)

Screw Coffee! I Love Steeped Tea. ♥

Brown Eyes.

My name is Stephanie Lizmore, and this is my first blog!


I am a seven-teen year old student, attending H.B Beal Secondary School who is interested in Art, Dance and Photography. My goal in life, is to have my own Photography business under the name, " Lizmore Images. " Photography has been one of my interest for a few years now, but I never really explored further into it. I always loved taking photo's of my friends and I and of different sceneries and objects, but never put as much thought into it as I do now. I've yet to invest in a better camera, I own a Nikon Coolpix Digital Camera, that I am limited with. Although i'm hoping to get a camera around Christmas.


I find that what i enjoy shooting photo's of the most, is Nature and Architecture. There are so many amazing and beautiful sights out there that it's hard not to pull out your camera and capture the memory. Wherever I go, my camera must go with me. You never know when you're going to come across something astounding.


Seeing as I have not upgraded to a camera of higher quality, I really don't know all there is to know about a camera. My boyfriend who I have been dating for nine months now, shares the same interest as I do with Photography. He has his own camera that he allows me to use. He has been teaching me about all there is to know about the camera. Although there are many things I still don't know, I know the basics. Currently i'm shooting on Auto with Manual focus, soon enough I will be shooting on Manual as well!


Well there you go! There is a little bit of information about me. :)
