Hey guys!
WOW! Finally, I’m sort of out of my depression.
So, lets fill you guys in on what school has been like.
So, lets start with paleontology. My lowest mark on a lab, 75%. Highest mark, 98. Average of all my marks on labs, 90% 
. Midterm mark, 85. Overall, I thought this class would be hard, but its actually friggen easy. I mean, we learn about a fossil and then…thats it. The worst part of it right now is the time periods, I just cannot get the to stick in my head! Thats what I was told to work on for the final. I’m really hoping for atleast an 80 in this class, my marks are showing me that I can do it.
Stats. Midterm mark, 93. Lowest assignment mark, 75. Highest mark 98. Yeah, I’m hoping for a 90 in this class. The thing is is that once your assignments total 10/10 (each is out of 2) then you can’t get any higher in the assignment section of the mark, and I only need one more 1.8/2 to finish off my assignments. I’m super excited.
Igneous. Midterm mark, 65. This is because I studied MY ASS OFF for all the material we covered in class, which was a lot. We get to the midterm, and its a midterm that belongs in geology 102. So, we all think that its super easy and breeze on through. Wrong idea, because he RAPED us with the marking. I’m really dissapointed with this mark, but I have many opportunities to pick it back up like my paper and stuff so I’m just going to have to work my ass off.
Sedimentology. I don’t really know, because we didn’t get the midterms back yet. However, 8/9′ths of the class failed. So yeah, not too sure how I did. I know I passed, but now thinking about it I’m not sure how well I did. The labs are fine. We handed in a lab project, and I’m really not sure how I did. We also wrote our lab midterm today, and I thought it was incredibly easy but I just keep second guessing myself.
For my birthday, I got lots of money to pay off my HUGE credit card debt. I’m slowly getting out of it though. I also bought season 8 of Will and Grace, season 4 of The Office, and will be purchasing House when my step sister gets off her ass and buys me a birthday gift. I’ve also been watching 30 rock, which is friggen hilarious! Megan, when you come back, we need to have a day of DVD watching.
Anyways, I would talk more but I’m off to dance!

Glad to see a somewhat happy blog.
I too have got House and The Office box sets. I haven’t got around to watching the Office yet but House was absolutely amazing. Watch it as soon as you can!
Sounds like your birthday was good. Did you have a party or anything?
So, speaking of gifts, the only people I have left to do Christmas shopping for are you and Mandy. (Yes, I know it’s early.
) I’m not sure if you wanted to do what we usually do and take each other shopping for our own gifts or if there was something that you wanted in Winnipeg that I could get before I come back. I saw a whole bunch of Wizard of Oz statues and Nightmare Before Christmas things (belt buckles, wallets, figurines, etc) today but I think you already have enough of those. LOL
Actually, I would really like those things. I like memorabilia (sp?) like that, and I really want to start a collection (especially of those two movies you mentioned!). So, suprise me, I am very sure that I will like it.
