Oh Shit.

I’m sick!!! On finals week, of all weeks, I get sick. Boo. Mother Nature, your timing is crap.

I just wrote my English midterm. It went fairly well, except for the fact that I’m crap at analysing literature and finding the theme. Luckily, it’s only worth 10% of my final mark. Phew.

I’m just biding my time until I can catch the bus back to res.

I have nothing going on tomorrow, a write-to-deadline on Friday, and then a weekend to chill (possibly with Thayne?? or at the illScarlett concert.). Research Skills exam is on Monday. Courtney & Megan said theirs was easy, but they have a different teacher than me. I am a little nervous for that test because we haven’t had one in that class yet and we only have 10% of our mark in that class. Urg.

Apparently Thursday is Blog Day

I only have time to blog once a week I suppose.

Thanksgiving was freakin’ awesome! I loved every minute of it. The laughter, the food, the booze, the family…. all terrific! The only downfall is that I didn’t do near enough homework and am now back-logged. Boo.

I had a grammar midterm today. Hopefully it went well. I took the whole 90 minutes, and was done just in time, which was nice. It didn’t seem too hard, which worries me.

I hate group projects. I don’t hate my group, but I hate the feeling of no control over everything and a lack of direction. I need to focus on it, but it’s so hard because I don’t want to focus on what other members are focussing on. I guess I just have to do a basic outline then go from there.

So… yeah. I am so glad I don’t have a job right now or my head may just explode.

Tentative exam schedule!

December 9, 1 p.m. – 4 p.m.: Foundations of Composition.

December 10, 1 p.m. – 4 p.m.: English (midterm)

December 15, 9 a.m. – 12 p.m.: Research Skills

The other two courses I have (Mac Skills and Reporting) are just final projects that have to be completed in class. The schedule looks pretty good to me- I’m not crazy about Research being so far away from the others because I want to go home ASAP, but then again, it’s more study time. Besides, I’ll have Mac Skills and Reporting in between probably.

So, just to recap: Good Thanksgiving, moderate midterm, hating group projects, no job and exams.

I actually kinda miss high school right now. It was so freaking easy.

PS: Vancouver in 8 more days!!!
