Just…

Well its a story of tears and joy. 

Lets start with the tears.

I wrote my chemistry 241 midterm this monday.  I knew everything, and I mean everything, and I still failed.  I was just so angry with myself, and its going to ruin my weekend.  Also, Jackie and Chantel didn’t get very good marks at all, so I’m screwed!

I also only got 76 on my geology 201 midterm.  I was pretty angry, just because I thought it was an easy midterm and I screwed up yet again on the metamorphic rocks.  Quite angering.

I don’t think I want to brood on these topics too long, since I’m just going to get sad.

HAPPY TIME!

I’m writing this blog on my BRAND NEW LAPTOP!  I’m super excited for it, because its better than my computer, its a DVD player and burner, I can take it to school with me and waste all my time writing blogs and talking on msn, and I can play world of warcraft anywhere I want! I do enjoy it.

I also got 91 on my geology 201 midterm.  Oh, the above midterm was for the lab.  Yeah, I really got 86, but she added 5% because it was too long and she didn’t show up until like 15 minutes after we were supposed to start.  I’m pretty pleased with this.

I’m having troubles getting used to the typing on this labtop just because its keys are so close together and the shift button is so small.  Sigh.

Apart from my emotions:

My work schedule has been much more heavy latley.  Good thing?  Kind of.  I do need lots more money than what I’m getting, but the downside is is that I get to bed at like 11:30 every night because I’m done my shift at 11.  This also doesn’t leave a lot of time for me to do my homework, spend time with Phil, etc.  I’m managing, but only just.  I guess we’ll see.

Also, I’ve been teaching a lot of private lessons, so that the school can meet its obligation of giving a free private once every two months.  This also takes a great amount of time away from me, but what can I do? 

Also, Sue has been doing her usual thing latley and being the most annoying person to keep an eye on.  So now I am responsible for all kids in the class, and Sue has to work on what I tell her to with them.  I mean, I’m just a effing babysitter for her, and its absolutley driving me up the wall.  I mean, come on, we keep givingi you pointers so that she can be a great teacher and she keeps throwing them in the garbage, which is completely unacceptable.

I have to check which union I am appart of, because I may be on strike from marking, which is funny.

Oh yeah, CUPE is striking.  Idiots.  I’m done writing now, I have to check some stuff.  Talk to you all later!

I </3 CH 241 lol

So, I’m getting better at this world of warcraft acronym thing.  Lawlz!

So, school this week has been a little stressful, then not so stressful!  I got all my work done for this week, but I’ve had some crappy assignments and stuff come back.

Chem 310 was kind of bad.  I thought I knew what I was doing, and I ended up with a nice 57%.  I was not amused, so I guess I’m going to have to go over UV again.  Its kind of annoying, since he never really gives us many examples to let us know what is going on.  Oh well.

But then, after that, I went over to Phils and played WoW for….pretty much the whole day.  I got my warlock up to 21, and found the some really cool robes!  And then a staff, and some other things.  I was excited!  Then yesterday, Phil ran me through a dungeon, and my entire inventory was FULL of greens and blues.  I also found a crap load (well 2, but they’re rare!) iridescent pearls.  I love finding them.  So, my warlock is pretty much decked out in blue items (are just really good items), and at 24 she shall be a power house!  I think I’ll start questing again then, just so I can get my succubus and go do the next towns stuff.   I also found a lot of stuff for my hunter, so thats good too.

Then, yesterday, we get our mineralogy midterms back.  I got the highest mark in the class: 60/69, which is 87%.  I’m pleased, and I’m just hoping all my mother midterms go as well.  I know I can, I just need to study my ass off for them.  I also got my lab back, which I thought I got a horrible mark on, but ended up with 9/10.  I love being the favorite!

So, I have my geology 201 midterm tomorrow.  I’ll be studying all of today, and then coming home, and then going back to the school to study some more.  Megan said she might come, and I’m hoping she does so we can quiz each other.

In other news, it was my birthday on Sunday.  Didn’t really do a whole lot, seeing as….I just didn’t do a whole lot?  I did get a huge wealth of money (MEGAN!) and some thermos’s for my morning coffee.  So, I’m going to purchase a laptop with all my birthday money.  I’ve been wanting one for a long time, and it’ll be nice to have one for school and such.

Dancing/teaching has been ok.  A little tiring.  I’m e-mailing Leah to say I can’t work 6-7, since those two girls really aren’t worth my time, and wednesdays are hard enough on me and I need a break.  I’ll teach an extra private lesson or something.  Who knows.

Also, Phil gave me someones crappy PDA the other day.  I’ve decided I’ll use it for addresses and the to-do list and stuff like that.  It has ethernet capability, but no card for it.  Oh well.

And I think thats it.  I got a crap load of shifts next weekend:

Friday: 6-11
Saturday: 4-11
Sunday: 4-11

I’m not really excited for the sunday one, just because its really dead at night on a sunday, so I may have to bring alternate forms of entertainment.  Megan, work any of this with me?  *Please say yes!*

Anyways, I have to get ready so I can go to school!

PS: My ING account made 1 cent interest the other day.  Woot!

Stress, without love

So I can’t remember when I blogged last, I think it was last week.

I finished my stereographic projections, because I finally understood them.  However, in my excitement of finishing, I forgot to answer a couple questions.  Oh well, bad mark on that lab.

Megan and I also got our sediments lab back.  Yeah, not so hot either.  I think we should have maybe gone a little slower.  This makes me extremely nervous for the next lab, because thinking about it, we kind of rushed through that one aswell.  Eep!

So, I’m definetly poor as fuck right now.  Since Phil maxed out his credit card, I’ve had to pay for both our world of warcraft accounts (mine said it ran out, so I can only assume his didn’t go through).  I also payed tuition, and then have to pay a billion other things this month.  Thank christ my birthday is coming up.

Speaking of which, I think I’m in a depression right now or something, because its my birthday on sunday and I’m not excited at all.  I still have to figure out what I’m doing with all my friends and stuff.  I think it’ll have to span out a couple of days, since my parents and Phil and I have already made plans.  Yeah, and I know Megan booked off my birthday, so I want to do something with people that night.  Bah!  So confusing.  Maybe I’ll do a lunch or something with them, and go out in the afternoon or go home and do something fun?  I’ll have to figure this out tomorrow.

So I definetly got laden down with so much homework this past weekend, which made it really hard to relax and eat stuff.  I was pretty pissed about that.  I got most of it done, but I need to revise it a lot since I hear most of it is wrong.

I also have a midterm this friday, and only one stupid day to finish it.  I am definetly not impressed about this at all.  Everything seems to be due on friday, and that is simply not cool.

I also finished my book, The Ninth Life of Louis Drax yesterday.  It was an ok book, but I think the author tried to shove too many genres into one book as he could.  It was ok, until the grotqesue ending.  That kind of came out of nowhere, but finding out how Louis actually fell was pretty exciting.  I think I’m going to read Son of a Witch next, seeing as I’ve put that off for far too long.  Then, who knows?!

Anything else?  I worked a lot more then I was supposed to this past weekend, and I’m definetly not complaining due to my current money crisis.  I also have to get that ING direct account open, because I’m lazy .

I have to stop keeping busy to make it seem like I’m not stressed, because its wearing me out.

Night kids.
