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!!!

Bus Worries

Lessons are over!!!! I’m gonna miss my little guys, even though they were super frustrating at times. It’s so weird to think that I won’t be back there in the spring, yelling “Kick!!!” or something like that. Sue took us out for lunch, and then Jeannine headed to Lethbridge. Needless to say, I wasn’t very sad to see her go.

Edmonton is creeping closer and closer. I can’t wait, but at the same time I’m nervous. I’m scared I’m gonna take the wrong bus and end up on the other side of town. Which is bad. (Obviously). I have the entire weekend before classes start to go back and forth to the college and practice my bus skills.

I hope my roommates are cool. I’m sure they will be, because I filled out that little questionnaire thingy that said I listen to Alexisonfire and stuff like that.

Worries worries worries. I hate it. I’m a very worrisome person when the occasion calls for it.

At this moment, Donna and I have no where to stay in Edmonton next Friday night. The people we were gonna stay with have to go to a funeral.
