I broke my computer. I stayed up until 4 working. Woke up at 6:30 (this was on wednesday morning) and went to print something. Put my juice down on the desk. Grabbed my printouts. spilled the juice. Computer = shorted. Likelihood of being able to pull anything off of the un-backed-up harddrive = not good. All in all. Not the best time. So I went to the pub last night.
Now must begin all over again. So. I might not post much. I apologize. I love you all. But not that much.,
So. Here is the deal. I have a major assignment due friday, but as I generally do I have procrastinated beyond repair. So now I am working like mad on it, but also am making a few "I give up" type concessions. One of these is the possibility of going to a ceilidh tonight. A Halloween one. But I have no costume, as I have been working. One possibility (the only one so far) is that I might go as asparagus. Or zombie asparagus. Like... dress in green, pin my green fleece blanket to my head in an asparagus-like fashion, and go around pretending to bite people. I just came up with that just now. I rather like it.
I know. My work should come first. But really... who wouldn't rather be asparagus? Anyone? No. I thought not.
Talk to you when I'm done with this horrible horrible monster of a unit of work.,
I am just so tired. I need some kind of break for a couple days (weekend, maybe?) just to sort of gather my wits. I am seriously all over the place. Boy situation completely resolved, though, if anyone cares. Resolved meaning completely over in a really sketchy way that could make my life awkward. I really need to learn when to keep my mouth shut and leave things alone, because had I done that about a week ago it would probably not be over. Oh well. Que sera sera.
Now that I'm up (for no reason) it's homework time. Ugh.,
Well, I've made it through. I was definitely right on how long it was going to be, though. I don't know. I'm in a bit of a sketchy place. It'll be better tomorrow, though. Headed to the river. And you know me and the water.,
Holy crap I have so much work to do. It's actually ridiculous. I've got reading to do that I swear I will never touch, and I don't know why they ever bother recommending more books to us because I don't know when I'd have time. I'm still trying to get through the photocopied handouts. I was on a kayaking trip on the weekend, which was fabulous other than my swimming down a fairly impressive set (swimming implying not being in the boat, if that helps to put that into context) and didn't make it back for my residence's thanksgiving dinner. Which I have to say was a little heart-rending, because I sort of like thanksgiving dinner. On the plus side, afterwards everyone else was homesick, and as I wasn't around I'm still doin' okay. I do miss you guys though. I mean; why go to the trouble of convincing more people of the value of your shining personality when you've people at home already convinced of it!
Anyway, it's going to be a long freaking week. I've got goals to make throughout just to get me through. Today's is the fact that it's one of the Canadian girls' birthdays, and we're going to have dinner and then walk down to the bar for a bit. Tomorrows is maybe the canoe club social. Thursday's is that I'm going to make dinner for a couple of the girls (my present for the one whose birthday it is) and friday is the end of the week. Let's see if that's enough, shall we?,
This template is not the most beautiful, but for now it'll have to do. I had no internet and no time and currently need to catch up on sleep more than anything else. That and I think I need claire's expert help. Sorry guys. Anyway, not having internet for a week killed me. Basically the deal is that for our first placement, we go on an observation week and then have classes for a month, then we go back to the school where we were observing for a 6 week placement. I was put up in a B&B for a week, but there's a trick to staying in a B&B, which mostly involves the fact that you have no stove or anything else. Or anything to do. I watched like 4.5 hours of tv a day. So for the longer placement I'm going to commute in every day on the bus. Which should be alright, it just means I have to be at the bus station for 6:55. Which involves getting up 6ish. Not a big deal, actually, especially as it allows me my kitchen and internet and all of the other comforts of home. It means that some days, because class ends at 3:40 and the bus is at 4:38 (there's one at 3:38 too, but that's not helpful) that I'll be home by 6 if I have a full day. Which is alright. Anyway that's alright. And the school is actually lovely. My mentor teacher is from Barrie. We're instigating a Canadian invasion. Other than that, I went kayaking again on Sunday, which was good. It was a bit of a lazy paddle, but I wasn't feeling up to much else. I'm actually going away kayaking all weekend this wekened. I just got off the reserve list yesterday, and it should be good. We'll see. Okay, that's all for now. I actually have other things to say, but maggie has heard them, and I don't feel like posting on here, and vimla you can just ask me on the interweb. And do. As you'll be amused. Will post again later with more interesting things.,
