Assorted Thoughts

Yes, I'm behind on the posting. I'm sorry but I also have a life in my spare time. Well, sort of.

Poorna is FINALLY 19 like the rest of us in our year. That's five hundred, twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes older than you were last year. Way to go Poorna! We love you and your youth. It keeps me young.

Salima's spending a year in Australia, and John might have to move to Calgary next year for school (but probably not). Why is everyone so keen on leaving? I think I'm just starting to get used to this place.

I still need a job, but I'm not a total failure. My essay is 7 1/4 pages long now! we're almost there. Good thing I started a month ago.

Dad's out of the hospital today on a day pass. He wants to come home but the doctors are all wishywashy. I'm not very good at looking after invalids. Good think I'm majoring in soc and not nursing.

Urgh. How have I been so productive lately? It's absurd. I got so much done this weekend, which makes no sense at all considering I took Friday evening and Saturday afternoon and evening off. I'm actually on track! Miraculous.

Unfortunately, tho, that means I haven't got too much to talk about. I had my last badminton class last night and we went out for drinks after. Apparently this one guy I've been playing with for like a year now is Gord Wittenberg's best friend, and Stef used to babysit for him. Small world, huh?

The Italian exam on Thursday is not worrying me, although it probably should. I think maybe I'm getting used to the university experience. Penso che e posibile, ma non so sicuramente.

Soc paper is slowly getting done. I'm not sure if it's making sense anymore, or if i'm totally inventing facts. Who knows? Not me.

Ok, well once again birthday congratulations are in order: Sabira, as of the 3rd, and Bev, as of the 5th, are now 20. I feel so young again! Ha well not really. But anyway, let's have a cheer for them because they deserve happiness too.

In other news, school is taking a turn for the stressful once again. Wait - is it ever not stressful? I don't think so. But anyway. In propaganda the prof has doubled his usual demands, because we have a 10-page essay due some time at the end of March. You know what would be nice? A deadline. But you can't have everything, can you?

Also I'm considering changing my major (yes, again) to soc and making anthro my minor. Because I'm kidding myself if I think I'm ever gonna get a job related to anthro. Soc just challenges me more to think about stuff I wouldn't normally think about. And it doesn't hurt that almost all of the soc courses out there interest me in one way or another. Of course, this could just be one of my weird phases when I get all excited about something, only to lose interest in a year or two. Is there something really wrong with me, or is this normal behaviour? I need advice like nobody's business.
