I need to go break something.

I've had two things break on me:
- My brakes (haha not funny)
- My BlackBerry trackball

Everything comes in threes, I need to break something. I just dont know what I can legitimately break right now that wouldn't make a huge mess and that I wouldn't be upset about.

I think I will just go to teh kitchen and find an unopened something so I can "break" the seal. That counts...right?

I may actually kill my dog.

She definitely has a bedtime anxiety complex, she's sleeping in my room since her usuals aren't around. She has gone around my room sniffing everything. More than once. She's driving me nuts. This is 20 minutes worth of time well wasted. There's nothing to eat in here, no wrappers, no nothing.

I hate dogs. I hate them. Always have, always will. I wish I still had my cat...

Too many goy facebook status updates right now.

I might change mine to the Jewish equivalent: "Merry Chinese Food Day!"

Seriously, that's what we're having for dinner.

I was so good. Cue a few tears early in the evening but nothing big.
I leave, no tears. Get in the car, no tears. I'm good I'm good I'm good.

Get home. See his text message, cue the flood.

It's not so much that I'm sad that he's gone for the next week, why yes of course I'll miss him. It's more on how alone I'm going to be for the next week. My sister is leaving today and we're taking her to the airport, and my parents follow suit on the 27th. I suppose it's the lonely factor.

So between finishing cleaning my room, (which looks great by the way, it's more now that I'm on organizing than cleaning) and my Masters App, I'm hoping to just keep myself busy for the most part. I just don't look forward to sleeping alone.

Whatever, I'm gonna brag:

I keep on staring at my Grade Report because sometimes I think the A+ I'm staring at is unreal.

That's going on the fridge.

So Im about 500 words away from being done my ENVS assignment.

That's a lot more than I thought I'd get done tonight, I'm pretty much 80% done assignment.

So I bought a Bingo card for fun...right?

I was one number away from winning $10,000 dollars.

Insane eh?

Today has been quite the day:

Woke up at 9.
Did nothing until 11, but I tried to.
Thought going to Shoppers and Timmies would help.
Came back home. Still did nothing.
Went back to bed at 12:30.
Now I am awake again.
I'm staying awake for good now, yikes :S

I am on a roll today...

I started writing an essay at 10 or so. Then at 10:35 I got ultimately distracted by photography and went outside to shoot, until 10:50. Fixed up some of my shots, uploaded to Facebook and I started working on my paper again at 11:10. It's almost noon and I've written 1453 words out of the minimum 2000.

Pretty awesome, pretty awesome. I'll probably write 3000 but I'm pretty sure a paper has never come together quicker than this one.

2009-11-30T22:53:24Z

I completed a 2000 word essay today. It would be nice to just now laze about for the rest of the evening...but it's not even a possibility :(.

I don't even really know what I should do next. :S. Something is telling me to get the 3-4 paged essay out of my way, but I don't really think I have the mental capacity to write another essay. Perhaps I'll just work on notes for one of my final essays.

I woke up today feeling like it would be a good day. Which I don't really remember the last time I woke up like that (seriously).

On the whim today, feeling somewhat funny I decided to buy a Bingo lottery card. I ended up winning $6. Now, the lucky kid in my family happens to be my sister and not myself. So for me to actually win is pretty damn lucky. I think there has only been one Bingo card I've ever won from.

Ed apps are done and fully submitted. Whoaaaa.

I'm feeling really burned out right now.

I just really need to kick it into high gear just a little bit longer. I have an exam tomorrow and I know I can score well, I did last time. I just need to get my act together and study for it.

Augh.

SI

2009-10-28T19:05:20Z

I'm a smart idiot.

I am aware that this sentence doesn't really offer all too much, but it is true.

I've really now realized my potential. To be honest, there should be no excuse as to in any circumstance why any of my grades are below a B+. (Unless you count my two surgeries...that's excused). I keep on saying how I've been doing the best I've ever been this year...and it's continually happening. I just got an Exam back in my Geography class, I received an A. I'm 99.9% sure I have NEVER received an A on an exam, ever. I'm an essay/project writer, since I get really bad anxiety with on the spot things.

I got an A. On an exam. I'm pretty sure the last time I did that was in Grade 12. I studied, did my readings, went to class and got an A. On an exam. This is huge. Seriously.

I'm an idiot because if I started doing what I was doing before hand, I'd probably wouldn't be worrying all too much about professional programs and graduate studies. Yep, not at all. Because it is evident that I am capable of so much, and I just never really worked hard because I knew my half assed efforts would get me a minimum B/B+. I put in effort and it has been rewarded severly.

I am kicking myself in the ass, real hard. I have another exam in 30 minutes I'm off to Alt Exams now to write it. I'm sure I can get an A in that too. This is probably the most frustrating feeling in the world, recognizing (instead of denying) that in fact I am intelligent. That's really hard for me to type, because I don't see myself as an intelligent human being. But I sure has fuck wouldn't be getting As if I wasn't. I mean I'm even getting As in SCIENCE. (Physicaly Geography/Geomorph doesn't count since I love that shit and I understand Physics, but I'm talking about actual science)

Which now I'm off to write my exam about inductive and deductive reasoning...haha

Hi hi, posty posty, I'm still alive.

School has been going well, so far I haven't received anything lower than an A in any of my courses. I'm really proud of myself, I hope I can keep it up. This has been probably the best I've done in my entire undergrad and I'm looking forward to keeping it up. I am pretty much constantly stressed out with school anyway, but things have to get done...right? Riiiiiiight.

Bedtime is seriously at 10:30 tonight...no joke, I'm just so freakin' tired!

I'm showing off my baking, photog, and knitting on a neat blog once a week if you are so inclined to check out: http://moreoomph.blogspot.com

I plan to update it once a week with all of my baking (and if you've seen my photos of my baking...just ya wait!), knitting and the like. Whatever comes up that week.

In other news, life is good? Got an A on my Geog of Disabilities assignment. I feel buried in homework right now, oh that's because I am. I am absolutely exhausted I need to take a nap but I need to finish my presentation for tomorrow first (currently I've only done the Intro and Purpose to my presentation).

Bought my ticket for the Creativ Festival from Oct 16-18! EEEEEYAAYYYY.

Day 1 of OUF: Tiring

Prof Anderson e-mailed me back and said he'd do my reference letter. JOYYYYYYYY. So I'm pretty much set.

I am so exhausted this is just all about I can type....anddddd done.

This is what I think.

If you want something done, you want something changed, you do what you can to get in contact of those people who have the correct information to first educate yourself on really what is going on. Ask questions, see why what is happening really IS happening. Learn more on the operation of things.

Bitching about it in a public forum will get you no where.

You have got to be fucking kidding me.

Today in the YFile, there is an article about the REDZone. However no one would know that myself and two others even worked there because the photos chosen highlight the same people. Like fine, have a photo of 5 people for one, but the other two...how about instead of photos of two people already featured, why dont you use a fucking photo of the other three people on your team.

I don't understand why a group photo of all of us couldn't have been used.

I'm doing my "thoughtful" posts again over at oomph....not too sure if I mentioned that here before. Sooooo you can add that to your friends list, leave a comment and I'll friend back...but i plan on keeping it entirely open. I'll of course still be posting here, but when I have those moments where I need to write and express myself...I'm back at oomph. Ahhhh good ol' 2002.
