Heyyy, what's up? I'm still here not too active though, just going through my messages every once and a while.
I'm still taking pictures but haven't been publishing a lot lately.... or at all I guess :s 
Actually building up quite a big floral arrangement portfolio from work.

Anyway just wanted to write this and pop back in here.

cheers

It's voting day for the Federal election here in Canada today! I'm just going to put all y tumblr posts on here about it. I want EVERY CANADIAN 18 + to do their civic duty. ESPECIALLY young voters and Native voters, and the elderly too.
If you don't vote, you are still giving a message, so please do. It only takes 10 minutes and it is so easy but so important. I have voted every time since I was 18.

I'll post a few links here to help clear up what's been going on.

There is strategic voting, if you want Harper OUT

Still unsure who to vote for?

If you live in Toronto, UBER the taxi service will be giving free rides to the polls

ALSO, If you are attending the Toronto Blue Jays game please vote earlier in the day to vote as the game is in the evening and the amount of traffic after the game will likely too be too much for you to get to the polls on time.

LASTLY! Your boss has to LEGALLY gove you 3 hours off of work to vote.

Have a good day everyone, your voter cards that you would have received in the mail tell you everything else that you need to know :)

*This is the day after graduation taken from my facebook status*
Buckle up kids, because this is a long story (with some warranted swearing)

Despite my best efforts, studying very hard, doing homework at 8 am and working part-time for 2 years I found out that I wouldn't be graduating with my classmates because of a stupid elective course that has NOTHING to do with Horticulture and is essentially a big time sucker. Devastated at this news I had spent a while being very sad and having internal conflict with myself. I kept saying " I tried so hard"...
Fast tracking to a week before grad I decided to make my own graduation because I DESERVED IT. I invited my family to come after the real ceremony to have my own little ceremony with my classmates and teacher. I even made my own diploma on Microsoft Word that I wanted my teacher to hand to me. I guess it was my way of sticking it to the man.
After all that Taylor had told me that my name was in the program. Shocked, I went to one of the volunteers asking does everyone in here get a diploma, she said yes and I explained to here my situation. She said it would be worth it to find out. Went to the gown check in, saw a friend from high school who said my name was on the list, then I went to the Diploma list and my name was on it!! A few ladies were there trying to figure out what was going on. My diploma was right there in her hands, so close. Then a lady asked me if I had taken anything else at Durham before (which I had) I said yes and she said that they must have taken a GNED credit from there and pushed it through to my Horticulture program. BUT NO ONE FUCKING TOLD ME THIS NEWS!! I was so happy the ladies gave me my diploma and shook my hand. I'm starting to cry leaving, I run into my teacher. All blubbery talking to him I said I graduated! I guess he just found out too. He took my diploma and handed it back to me with a hand shake and a congratulations.
I AM SO HAPPY AND SO FUCKING PISSED AT DURHAM COLLEGE. THEY FUCKED ME OVER SO HARD!! such garbage. I didn't get to walk across the stage with my friends instead I was in the audience and I did cry a bit because I should be up there. 
I'm even taking a summer course already for the credit that I thought I didn't have which was $530!!! I am getting that money back!
Man it was quite a day, can't believed what happened, but I got to celebrate with my classmates and teacher at the pub :)
okay....I'm done, but I have a bone to pick with Durham and so do my parents.

HELLO EVERYONE! :D

I have today off and am finally popping in here to say that I am still active on this site even though I haven't been posting any art. It's much harder to do than I though while being in school and also working, I have a couple of pictures that I will post today, they are dated from last year though lol guess it's been a while.

I am almost done school *SILENTLY FREAKING OUTTT* anywhoo won't talk about that too much, just mentioning it since it was the title of this journal. 

I hope you all have a great weekend, and Happy Easter if it applies to ya ;P

much love
-Giulia :la:
