ALMOST DONE

So there's only two weeks of school left, and I just found out that on the last day of school I only have one class instead of two. Because my prof is going to England. Yeah, he comes into class and as casually as can be says that our last class will be on Monday instead of Wednesday because it will be impossible for him to come to class when he's over in England! Hmmm, that just doesn't seem very fair to me at all. No, not at all! But it's nice too because I love when classes are cancelled. I would love it if they were cancelled all the time, but unfortunately, I have professors that love to be at class, and so they're never cancelled. They hardly even let us out early either. I think that in this whole semester I have had one class that was cancelled and two that were let out early. And then there's my sister who's prof puts the class notes on the internet and so there's hardly any reason for her to go to class. If I miss one I'm pretty much screwed. But the whole point of this is to say that I'm nearly done! Only two more weeks and then first semester is over. Except for the finals but I only have two and so they barely count for anything. I can't wait for Christmas. Get to be at home again and see Kid again and shop for material for the bridesmaid dresses. Yeah I don't think I've mentioned that yet, eh? LOL, I've been engaged for a month and a half and haven't mentioned it! Ofcourse, I don't write very often, and so I'll use that as my excuse. But yes, mum and I are going shopping for material for bridesmaid dresses. Don't know if we'll find anything even close to what I have in mind, but here's hoping. A lot of plans have actually fallen into place already and that's nice. We have the date and location. We have a caterer and once I phone the photographer we'll have him too. We have someone to make the all important wedding cake. We have a guest list and an idea for the invitations. But I'm digressing! School tends to do that ya know. Keeps you so bored that your mind runs off on tangents all the time, even when you're not in class! It just happens to be worse when you're in class, unless you have one of those classes where your prof talks so quickly it's all you can do to get all the notes! And I have two of those guys. But the third one, that's where I run into trouble and my brain goes off and wanders around and can't ever seem to land on what the prof himself is saying. Doesn't help that the poor guy talks in circles for 75 minutes twice a week. Doesn't really make one want to listen at all. And so I don't. And so I stay bored. And I hate going to that class, wish it would be cancelled. But only two more weeks of it! Ofcourse, it's one of those classes that goes all year long, and so I have to suffer even more of it next semester. But that'll be bearable just as long as I get to home in between! Christmas is looming alright. Mom and dad'll soon be putting up the tree and listening to Connie Scott and they promised that they'd phone me so that I could hear the music. And if I'm at my place I'm going to make them turn it up really loud so that Jana can hear it too. Because she hates it and that makes it really funny. She thinks that she can get away with not hearing it and inevitably she has to anyway. So why not get the torture over as soon as possible? Except in my case because I actually like listening to it. One of those Christmas traditions that are so incredibly pointless but that you just gotta do no matter what. And it sucks cuz I'm missing it, but that's why they're phoning me! And that reminds me, I need to email mum. Ah yes, my brain is still flying around. I wish I could fly. It would mean that I would spend less time out in the cold. Walking takes so long sometimes. Thankfully the university has a tunnel system. Although none of the tunnels actually go to my building! But I can get more than halfway across campus using the tunnels which is just the greatest thing now that it's cold. But it's not cold today. No sir! It's a balmy +12 today! And at the end of November too. I wish it would be a brown winter, no snow eh. So nice, not as cold. And snow just turns brown anyways, due to the all the traffic that goes around here. And that's really ugly. So why not just skip that part and we can enjoy the dull color of the dead grass instead? Oh lovely, lovely. Maybe it'll stay brown at home. It's always fun when there's no snow at Christmas. We had a hotdog roast on Boxing Day one year. HAHA, what a blast. Ofcourse, I'll probably think that anything at home is a blast this year. Mmm, can't wait for that. Just a few more weeks!! Cuz school is almost done ya know!

BEST 2 DAYS EVER!

So guess where I am! At home! And I haven't been here in over three months so it's a pretty exciting thing, let me tell ya! Gotta love having a long weekend, a day off of school. Makes it a lot easier to plan fun things like roadtrips back home. And surprising people on top of that, not letting them know that you're coming home, that's so much better. Should've seen the look on all of their faces, so priceless. Parents couldn't believe that we'd actually come out for just two days, but ofcourse they all loved the fact that we did. Oh yes, mom is making some of my favorite things - chocolate zucchini cake baby! And so we left Winnipeg at 7:30 yesterday morning and got into Port just after 2:30. Had to stay at Steve's til almost 10 though cuz my parents had decided to go to Regina for the day and the house was all locked up! But man, was it ever good to be back in my house. And my own room! Even though I slept on a mattress down on the floor, it was one of the best night sleeps ever, for the simple fact that I was in my own room and didn't have to share it! Today's been good. Went to Moose Jaw for a couple of hours which was awesome. Almost sad to say that it was good to go to Moose Jaw, cuz the Jaw is kinda pathetic. But when you haven't been there in three months, it's pretty darn good! And the rest of today has been a bunch of nothing. I love doing nothing. Watching movies, movies that I haven't seen over and over in the last months, that's a pretty good thing. And to get to spend time with Lissa. Well, that was pretty much the whole point for me to begin with! Man, I miss that kid when I'm not here. But there's still half of tomorrow yet. And Sunday lunch to look forward to. Yummy!

WHAT A JOKE

Ok, so get this. Today is usually my rotten class, and I always hate going to it. But two things happened that made it a very good class, and infact, a very good day. First of all, my prof comes in and says that he's going to have us watch a short movie instead of having him talk, which was the greatest change possible. This man has a tendency to talk in circles and so to have a break from that was quite exciting. Plus the fact that the movie was only 30 minutes long meant that I got out of class 45 minutes early! But the other great thing that happened was that we got our term papers back. Now I hate getting papers back because most of the time I haven't put a lot of thought into them and I know that I could've done better. And so it was with this one too. But my prof loved it. He gave me an A+! How totally crazy is that? An A+ on a paper that I thought was utter crap. Gotta love surprises like that!
