Almost to the End

My last semester of my first degree is almost to an end. YAY! How exciting is that?
Just need to get through these last few weeks and then a whole new batch of stress can set in. Because as it stands there is simply too much stress in my life! Why is it that when things happen they happen all at once?

School

Well life is a bunch of blah :P

School is beyond rough and stressful. I have a test on Thursday but my lazy prof couldn't bring herself to come to school today because of 5cm of snow! She continues to cancel class after class then she gets extremely upset when the class did poorly on the first test (we didn't have the 3 classes prior to the test). And, its great that she cares and all but not teaching us doesn't help. Yet we are still paying her to teach those classes.

When the university isn't closed you should still get your butt to the school - I mean we are expected to! Or at least use the online banner system to let us know prior, so some of don't walk the 30 minutes to school or take a 40min bus ride - ITS A WASTE OF OUR TIME and just annoying!

Now I must go create a sort of presentation for my stupid conservation of moose in NS project - dumbest thing EVER!!!

I love how happy bunny explains my life most of the time.

Its been a month! and I'm sorry

I am sad to report a few things,

first I should really update this more often then I do.
So, I have made it a sort of new year's resolution.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

~ I hope every one's year is filled with happiness and personal success.
~ Don't forget to help others, listen more, laugh more, and live your life the way you want to.

However, I do not believe in new years resolutions, I do not think you should have to wait until the beginning of a new year to set goals for yourself -- I think that anytime you feel something should change in your life you should just make your goal! ITS YOUR LIFE! ~ ACCOMPLISH THINGS that are important to YOU and make them at ANYTIME during the year.



Which brings me to my other sad thing, and as sad and painful as it is, I feel as though I need to say something about it. A good friend of my family, passed away just before Christmas. My good friends Ma and Mi's father died. He was diagnosed with severe lung cancer a few months prior, and even though it was known he didn't have much time left, it was still a shock.


Over the holidays I was torn, I would go out with friends and be having a good time, then either during or just after i had gotten home I felt guilty. I guess its a part of grieving - I don't know, or when you feel like you should be all smiling and look happy when all you want to do is sit in the dark. Also, when people who don't know about what's going on in your life and comment that you look sad, you feel an obligation to explain, but then they just say oh that's sad, or that's too bad, or it'll be OK or they giving you pity glances - it makes you want to SCREAM!

However, there Ma's girlfriend was pregnant, she had the baby a month early so Rob got to see the baby, which was wonderful.

Now, there are good things that are going on, and as sad as I am and I think I always will be, good things are happening in my life, so don't be too sad.

I am still the Philanthropy chair for my sorority, which I love, I am excited because I have some really cool new ideas for us and our local GLOs!


Classes have started once again. I am taking 4 courses and I hope that this semester goes really well in all aspects. Class, my roomies (love them all), my sisters, and my friends and my family, I want to get things figured out.

But, as of now I need to get organized, clean my room (and the kitchen, if there is enough hours in the day). Also, gotta start on my homework; goodness second week of classes and rush and the insanity of school is already in full swing.



you know you love me, insanity and all

HEY! Pay Attention its I-Week!

Hey all,

This is the craziest and most fin and exciting few weeks of my life ever, it kicked off with the 11th Annual IBChi Sorority Ball :D - good times and bonding with all my sisters - special love goes out to V! and K and her new baby boy! :D



pictured: all sisters (and soon-to-be sisters) with our Cutie Pie
(the ball was Saturday)


Monday was the day of Charm (Philanthropy - I am so proud of the pledges they collected donated lots of wonderful things to the women's shelter)
Tuesday the pledges put on such an awesome social / fundraiser :D
Today is the Day of Joy and Friday is the Day of Beauty and Saturday is the final steps for the pledges :D good luck to them all.

so my life seems a little glamorous at the moment, hanging out with my sisters, bonding and watching movies and eating popcorn well reality check into the rest of my life -------

School is insane by Friday I have to - write a psychology paper, do a presentation with a written report, catalog and organize my lab book for fish ecology oh and make it to the Lifting of the skirts by 7 .... thus the insanity of this week is here. However, my insanity hopes to be short lived, relaxing on Sunday - but I also have a presentation for the following Thursday good thing is its a group project so the work is divided! ... hypothetically right? I know that's what you are thinking and my answer is YES it is! My group kicks butt! We work well together. :D
Loves

oh and I have decided to start temporarily compile memoirs we will see how long it lasts

seeing as how finals start december 1st

However, I will be done quickly since only 3 of classes have official finals so I will be flying home on the 5th - WOOT!!

you know you love me and my craziness,

Work, work, work!!

Hi there!

Life has been crazy the last few days and its going to get crazier! Wednesday I closed the Grill ... sort of late but it wasn't too bad and made good tips! Then yesterday (thursday) I closed again, but then had to go and clean the bingo hall since it has to be done before saturday! So I got home late last night, now I am off to work in a little bit because I close AGAIN tonight! As if that was the worst part - well it isn't! I open tomorrow morning (saturday) at 6 am!!! I hope we close fairly early otherwise I am going to be extremely tired and irritable on saturday - not a good thing to be in the service industry! Also, you would think the people scheduling us would have a clue - they don't! They do this every week to Laura and I and we're frustrated!
However, that we are used to! Its not even the worst of it! Next week I have 3 days off! Which you're thinking well, thats great, make some plans hang out with friends - relax - NOPE can't because I need those hours because I need the money plus my days off are during the week and most of my friends work during the week :P
It gets WORSE!!
Next week, I have a a double split shift on friday >> open at 6am in the Grill then leave then come back to work a function at night and then close on Saturday .. so much for giving us one weekend night!!
Anyways, that's my rant for today! How employers are evil! How I wish life were easier sometimes like those people who never seem to have to worry about money or ever really work for anything. I know I know it builds character or what ever! :P
Oh, wells, I will just keep thinking about a quote I once read:

You are given the life you have because you are strong enough to get through it!

or something like that ... not a direct quote and I don't remember who said it or where I read it Sorry!

you know you love me!

A Little Distracted

Hey,
I am sorry for being away for awhile, I just have had i don't know lets call them "issues," namely my family; my bro and my mom! Moving back home even for a short while after you have been more or less independent (much I believe to my mothers dismay ... she prefers to CONTROL things - EVERYTHING) is difficult! As for the younger sibling who shares half my DNA (although I have yet to receive conformation about this! ... lol ... sorta) is immature, cant grow up, does things against my beliefs, and lets his dog destroy my stuff!! (although its getting a bit better - the dog not my bro! lol totally lol)

oh and i have torn things apart because i cannot find my checkbook (i owe my friend some money she fronted me for my concert ticket) anyways i finally find today!! THE DAY SHE LEAVES!!! *pulls hair out* so now I feel completely terrible!! so I am going to send it to her asap i.e. my the next chance i can possibly get with a card and everything cause i feel like completely terrible!!

On a positive note, my bro was less irritable today (basically i work from 6am - 1pm, at the course then for my mom for a couple hours then came home and he left foe work after dinner lol)
my mom is in a good mood thus I am 200% less stressed that shes decided she'll still pay for Mexico :D however, no mention of Florida ... so I'm on my own which is fine by me; one more thing she'll yell at me for but hey I'll be in Florida then school in Hali!!!

still love me?,
xoxo
