Remeber summer?

No?
Me neither.

School is seriously bringing me down, just like everybody else I guess...
All of a sudden it's almost December... all of a sudden I forgot to get stuff done ahead of time and now am faced with 2 weeks of late nights and zero fun.

All i talk about it school. I need to have fun. I need a distraction from school, yet I can't afford to take one right now.

Complain, complain complain....

Ruby is beautiful. I am faced with a strange feeling: the desire to go home.
I know once I get there I will be content for 4 hours before I start to go stir crazy...
Christmas is different though...Or I guess it will be... It seems to me like it was like confinement last year. Atleast now I can always come back to my own appartment if I need/want to.

Staff party Jan. 8th. A whole weekend, all expenses paid to White Point. Did I mention free booze? And food? And a pool? And White Point? I get to take a date...

Bah... I'm going on hiatus until I have something interesting/ something that isn't just complaints to talk about...

You won't let those robots defeat me

So, I've had a really good last 2 days, and I just wanted to note that, since lately those good days have felt like they have been few in numbers.

Monday: I finally got my re-dyed, and on the way walking from the DAL library to Life spa on Spring Garden, I ran into a total of 7 people that I knew well enough to stop and have a chat with. It was crazy. I know like a total of like 10 people in Halifax (ok, maybe more.. but not much more) and then I see the majority of them in the span of 20min in the space of like, 1km. It was pretty cool. Then my 3 hour class got over early, plus it was actually somewhat interesting. I got a decent grade back on an assignment too. Then I finished my Middlemarch assignment in like 30min so I could take a break and watch TV for the rest of the night. Which I did. and it was beautiful. Oh yeah, and I got a drive to school.

Then Today was my long day at school, but it went really quickly. I had a bit of a freak out last night about not having enough time to get everything done this week that I need to, which resulted in me waking up in the middle of the night to freak out some more about school and all that good stuff. But then today, I get to class and my test that was supposed to be on Thursday is moved to next week. I had a snooze in the upstairs fireplace lounge on my break, and then I got an A on another assignment I got back....

Basically, just a solid 2 days filled with not much sucking. Hurrah!

Oh yeah, and tonight when I went to go do laundry, nobody else's stuff was there, AND I even had enough quarters in my change jar!!!!!!!!!
Except I burnt my supper...... but you can't win them all.

There's love in the air but I'm on the ground

I hate Sunday night supper when I forget to buy groceries on Saturday. We need Sunday shopping.... who doesn't have Sunday shopping...
Ontario does, that's for sure... But they don't have garlic fingers... so really, I'll suck it up and eat my crappy soup.

Haven't been doing so stellar in school lately. Kind of discouraging since I started off pretty good. Nothing like a string of C's to deflate the ol' academic ego I'll tell you that much...
I read 60 pages about Daoism this afternoon and I have about 40 left to go. I like the idea that the road to enlightenment is to abandon the quest for knowledge and stop conforming and just believing in stuff in general.

I think I could deal with that. Except the whole having to go live in the woods and eat nuts and berries part.... I will stay in a city and eat my nuts and berries thank you very much.


Well my parents called in the middle of this and now I don't remember what exactly I was supposed to be accomplishing with this posting.... Back to my Eastern Religious Traditions textbook I guess....

I am melancholy lately. That is all.

Bloggity McGee

Ahhh here I sit, watching the clock before class. My first class of the day, well that I will be attending at least. I even woke up in time this morning for my morning class but somehow lacked the go go to get there and what not. Instead I read. and read. and read and read and read some more today. As a result I am only behind in 4 classes instead of 5 now... Damn.

Work has abruptly stopped. I'm talking 40+ hour weeks down to maybe 1 shift a week. Ahhhh yet also, dang for the money aspect. However, I am so far behind in school work that I should not even be setting foot outside of this appartment unless it is to go to school. Or the library. Or some other educational type event. Or groceries... I suppose those are good too.

All this with the small exception of Thursday night when it is my duty to go and get absolutely shit faced with my roomate off of 99 cent shooters. The last time we went out to this... well lets just say it got messy. Really though, is there any other way for a 99 cent drink night to turn out than messy? I doubt it..

I am wearing my purple framed glasses today and it feels weird. It is like learning to see all over again whenever i have new glasses. I feel bad for neglecting them and just going with the old standby black frames, so I figured that I would diversify my eyeware. That and I need some colour since it is beyond laundry day and I need something a little brighter than my stand black or dark blue. Or green... let's face it. It's really all about the green apparel with me.......

damnit, I said apparel, and then I was all like... oooh American apparel... and so then I started looking at their website and forgot I was writing this..

anyway

this weekend was pretty cool. I took a trip to the ol' Wolfvegas to see E-dawg and his female counterpart. Despite the fact that the fricken bus broke down in Rawden (yeah I'm from here and I have no idea where the fuck that is) and I had to sit on the side of the road in a broken down bus for a little over an hour it was an okay adventure. Pretty tame time, drank some beer, played some crazy pictionaryesque game and just ate a lot of food. and slept in until noon... and ate a lot of food. Good times indeed

I now have my own personal Brad in figurine form care of E-dawg... uh that sounds creepy... I will post pictures soon... But it's definately Brad as an action figure. I am thinking about finding a Barbie for him so he can have a hot wife.

Kashizzll (aka K-Dawg, K to the athleen, or just KAT): Any word on a possible NS trip?

Anybody else: Wanna go somewhere for Spring break? i want to go to Ottawhat but DAL spring break is the same as Carleton spring break thus everybody will be going home, thus making it pointless for me to show up in Ottawa and be without a place to sleep.. FYI it's damn cold in February. Too cold for a park bench.
I am pretty much game for anywhere, warm or cold. Maybe even Wentworth to go skiing for a weekend? Marble Mountain?! I dunno.... My backyard...??? Possibly.

Ruby the wonder dog, aka rubber dog, aka my parents' new puppy is coming home on the 21st! She's pretty much the cutest darn black lab puppy in the world if I do say so. I will be scheming a way home shortly thereafter to maul and take a zillion pictures of her soon after I am sure. Even though its end of term and all that stupid stuff.... Puppy trumps papers any time.

And I have successfully occupied myself until class time....... Whose bright idea was it to have a 3 hour poli sci lecture on Monday nights anyway.... eff you DAL.
