Morning off, mmm...

This is for Toriiiii heh say hello to your nephew Duey!

The concept of having time off for a university student is a little ridiculous, but I like to pretend it makes a great impact either way. I live for Monday mornings where I don't have to get up early because I don't start class till 1:30. The other four days I start at either 8:30 or 9:30 and typically live at school those days so Mondays are great. The only downfall is Monday morning is my only time to get stuff done so I really don't get to sleep in because I have laundry up to my ears and assignments to write and blogs to update? Heh.



Everything's still great. Doing really well these days. A lot of progression. Today I should find out where my placement is finally. I hope. Most people that found out so far are being sent out of town so I hope to God I'm not also.



Hmm...there really isn't much to talk about when you spend your week living in the library and your weekend drinking wine and playing video games haha. Gotta love life :)

Smooth sailin'

Hey ya'll.

Been a while again I know. I just never think about writing in this thing because any spare moments are spent trying to catch up on sleep or relaxing.

School's been nutsssss lately. So many exams and presentations and papers due. I'm done all my exams for the year now thank God. We don't have finals so I'm pretty excited about that...just lots of papers and presentations but those are easier than exams any day. Things have been going pretty well and I've been doing well (Except one exam...but EVERYBODY said they think they failed it so i'm sure a bell curve will be necessary).

I start the Kings Ambassador thing soon, we had a meeting yesterday and I'm pretty stoked about it. It'll be nice going back to South and talking to the kids about my program and about the school in general and answering their questions. Heh. I remember being in grade eleven and twelve thinking about university and being so nervous about it...so it'll be nice to reassure them that it's honestly an awesome place to be. This year has really been life-changing for me. The people I've met, the things I've learned about myself.

I'm so glad I stuck it out and came to school this year. I almost took a year off but i'm so glad I didn't. This program is just me. It just feels right. I'm in love with it. It's so much work and so draining living in the library like 30 hours a week but it feels so rewarding when things get accomplished and I get those marks back. I started tutoring a girl too and that is going great and even though I don't get paid for it, it's still rewardingto see her grasp the concepts and do well.

Really exciting times. Still. I feel like every day is a new experience and I feel like myself finally. I'm figuring things out and resolving issues within myself I never knew existed. It's an amazing process and I'm so stoked on life.

Love love love. That's all I can say.
