Placements

So I'm back home for the summer, but instead of making money for my next school year I'm stuck doing a 3 week placement at my old high school.  Actually doing the placement isn't that bad, I mean all I have to do is show up, help students with math and teach a few lessons, but I hate working for three weeks with no pay cheques.  

I've also been spending the last few days trying to make the spare room in the basement of my house live-able, it’s been used as a storage room for so long that it’s quite a job!  I think I should be done by the weekend.

I need to go have a shower and some coffee     

I'm done!!

I'm back!!  I haven't posted in a while cause I've been so busy studying for exams.  Alas, today was my last one, and it wasn't even that bad.  Now I have until saturday to get packed and relax.  I'm half looking forward to going home, and half wanting to stay in K-town.  After all, it is really nice here during the summer.

On monday I start my education placement at my old high school, which is fine.  I'm not really looking forward to it, after all I could be spending these next 3 weeks making money, instead of paying to work.

My Birthday

So I just got back from the bars...  It was a lot of fun, my prof even bought a cake for tonight cause of my birthday day.  It was a lot of fun, after partying at his place we (me and a bunch of my friends) went to My Bar which was good fun, I had a couple liquid cocaine shots.  Then we walked home.

Tomorrow I get to look forward to spice cake and chocolate cupcakes, from two of my housemates, and the other housemate is coming back tomorrow!!


An exam and a party

So today I have what will probably be my easiest exam, which is good, cause I really don't feel like studying.  I also seem to be out of the funk I was in earlier in the week, which is good cause I'm going to a party tonight.  It's actually going to be a lot of fun, the instructor for my class with the exam today is hosting it.  He's a 20-something contract prof and so he hosts a party after the midterm and the exam where he supplies drinks and snacks.  It's going to be a lot of fun, especially since my birthday is tomorrow, but I don't plan on getting really drunk, I want to be able to enjoy my birthday.  Plus I never get really drunk, well once, but I was at my house with my housemates.

I feel like a should be studying, cause I do have an exam at 2, but it's open book and so far I have 100% in the course.  So part of me wants to watch Supernatural and the other part thinks I should study.  

I think the Supernatural side is winning though. ^_^

First of 4 today

Well the big day is here... my first exam this semester.  Yesterday I drank so muc coffee that I almost had trouble falling asleep, and that practically never happens.  So right now I'm getting ready to start studying again, having gone to bed at one o'clock in the morning : (

I realised the other day that today is friday the 13th, not that I care about that crap, but I can't help but wonder how many people are freaking out  right now cause they have an exam today.  haha

Well I guess I should actually start studying instead of typing here, after all my exam is a 2pm today.

A day of coffee, studying and rain

Well last night wasn't so good, and after I posted yesterdays message I decided to take the night off from studying.  I know I probably should have studied, but when I feel like that its hard to do anything.  So I watched The Phantom of the Opera, cause there's nothing like a musical to cheer a person up.

I decided getting up this morning that I was determined to make today a good day.  So, while I don't like studying, and I should be getting my birthday present in the mail today, I decided if I get enough done today, I can watch an episode of Supernatural when it gets here.

I guess if I really want to watch an episode today, I had better go have a shower and eat something.
Thanks to Jen (one of my housemates), I've already had 2 cups of coffee : )


edit : I also think after my particularly dark day yesterday, that I have a bit of a new understanding of what my sister is going through.

I can't wait til this week is over

Today seems to fit right in with the way the rest of my week is going.  I think it's partly because of exams, but I have just been feeling down this week.  It's nothing big, just not a very good week.

Unfortunately, I usually only start feeling this way when I'm by myself.  It's like a switch is flipped whenever I'm around people, and suddenly I'm laughing and joking around, but then I go to my room to work and I start feeling dark and depressed.  I'm not such of fan of this, luckily it doesn't happen that often, usually around exam time or when I'm stressed.  I guess the crappy weather could have something to do with it too, but I just feel like crying right now.

Luckily I've been here before and I know things will turn around, hopefully by the weekend.

Well I guess I should study some more, I'm not going to feel any better if I have to write an exam completely unprepared.  Maybe tomorrow will be better, at least I won't be all alone.

Wasted day

I think it's safe to say that I'm not going to get any work done today, or at the most, very little.  I basically spent the day cleaning my room, drinking coffee, printing notes and listening to music.  So I guess it wasn't a total waste.  At least I can start studying tomorrow without having to worry about printing the notes.

It's really too bad I didn't get more done today, cause I'm supposed to be working on an assignment tomorrow with a friend, (yes profs give us assignments to do during the exam period!  Well some profs at least.)  And for that same class we have a couple programing questions for the exam, so he gave us those to work on too.  yay, I love Matlab!   -_-  

Well enough procrastinating, I should see if I can get some work done before House M.D. comes on at 9. lol

My first post

Well I guess I should post something since I went through the trouble of creating a live journal. I felt the urge to create one after reading my sister's this morning, it seems like a good place to vent, and I kinda feel like I need to right now.

I feel kinda crappy right now, I just don't feel like doing anything. Probably because it's exam time and I should be studying for either my exam on friday, or my one on saturday. I always get this way during exam time, I just really hate studying (not that I think anyone enjoys studying) but I hate it with a passion. I also get distracted really easily (case in point, live journal). And I always since to convince myself that an exam won't be that hard, so I don't really need to study that much... and we all know that doesn't end well.

It doesn't help that my birthday is this weekend, and while I'm looking forward to going out with my friends, I miss the fact that I won't be able to see my parents and brother and sister until the last weekend in April (when move back home for the summer). I did get to see everyone this weekend, but it's not the same. I guess I should be getting used to being away for my birthday, I've been stuck at university for pretty much every birthday since I started here. But at least this year I have some solid plans with my friends, and I think it's the first year I haven't had an exam on my birthday.
