Hello, and Happy Belated Valentines Day to everyone!

I’ve been site-neglecting again; whoops! I’m off all this week from school, so will hopefully have time to update more often.

I’m really tired/have a headache, so here’s highlights of the past 2ish weeks.

- applied to a different program at school
- have an interview at the Region of Waterloo for summer employment
- passed the exam worth 45% of my mark (i got a 77%, not good, but acceptable)
- got 95% and 93% on papers I got back
- dropped out of Choice 101
- had an amazing birthday
- been doing lots of work at home

But the highlight of it all…?

Mike made me this for Valentines Day I wanted one for Christmas, lol. We saw it at the local mall, and the one I wanted (about 4 ft tall) was $2300, and the small ones this size were $300. So lately when I text him and ask what he’s up to, he’ll say “oh, just finishing up your present ” or “at BM” (his high-school), and I “guessed” that this is what he was making, but he just said “? what’s that?” when I asked if it was one of the “wavy drawer things”. Ah well, I still love it. And inside was a note that made me teary when I read it, Nothing but the best this Valentines day!

I really feel like I have no time for anything anymore. Literally.

I know the pages on my site look like crap when you open them and the sidebar shifts, but right now I just don’t have the time to fix it! I know my room is a mess and there’s basically a path to my bed, but I don’t have time right now. I know the van needs an oil change but REALLY, I don’t have time right now.

Even on my birthday (Friday!), I have to go to school from 9-10, and then do interviews at work from 10:30-4:30. I was supposed to be at school at 12, and do interviews from 10-4, but clearly that had to be changed. Busy ALL day on my 19th birthday. How much does that suck, considering I’m supposed to have Friday’s off? Lame! I am going out for dinner at night with my family and Mike’s family though, to Mongolian Grill – yum!

Saturday night I’m having a few friends over, probably play some Italian poker, play a little Wii, play a little “RIDE THE BUS”, and oh hey, we’ll most likely drink. Should be fun times!

I just finished a 9 page paper with a classmate that we worked on via MSN and Google Docs ALL day. Thank youuuuuuuuu technology! I really enjoyed working with this classmate and they’re definitely on my “would work with again” list. As opposed to the classmate who just found themselves on the “never in a million years” list. Three times I’ve asked for revisions, and I just requested a fourth…Ohhh dear.

I was thinking that I’d like to get into the sexual health side of things once I’m done my program. A classmate is having some vulva-related issues right now that I’m helping her research on (she [I can identify her by this pronoun as she has a vulva and is therefore female] doesn’t have a computer with internet access and is uneasy of the idea of going to the library/school to look it up), and I’m finding it really interesting. Plus, the work that I do at my job in addition to my volunteer work at Planned Parenthood..PLUS my fascination with “Sex Change Hospital” and pretty much all that fun stuff. Maybe that’s an avenue I should explore…Although, being a probation officer does seem appealing too. Hmm. Decisions, decisions!

I’m really sorry I’ve been sucking on commenting lately! I’m almost through the “tough” part of this term and should have more free-time again.. Speaking of free time…

I got into Canadians for Choice! The course is called “Choice 101″. It’s a program where ‘young professionals’ (that’s me!!!) discuss pro-choice issues, and 15 people were chosen nation-wide (I was told one number, but the person who’s organizing it just confirmed 648 people applied!). It’s done mainly online on the “Ning!” website, and through a tele-conference. It’s every Tuesday from 5-7 p.m. which kind of sucks, but it should be interesting nonetheless, I’m excited!!!

Well..back to homework for me…

I think I’ve narrowed down the source of my grumpiness – two specific classes, with the same teacher.

I don’t agree with all/most of what they say, they make general statements that “apply to everyone” (i.e everyone does __________), etc. I don’t know how to address this issue, and I know I’m not the only person who feels this way. They often refer to being “privelaged”, and some people in my program *aren’t* as privelaged as this individual. Way to make them feel like shit, ‘eh?

And also, my blackberry messenger is acting up AGAIN. I can’t open the messages that I’ve got. WHAT. THE. HELL. BLACKBERRY/RIM. STEP. IT. UP. Telus is getting a nasty, nasty phone call when I get home, you better believe it.

*grumble, grumble*.

FUCK.

I’m in class right now, got to the college at 9:20 for a 10:00 class. Not bad, right? WRONG.

At 9:51, I still hadn’t found a parking spot.

I picked Mariah up and drove around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around.

There was a teensy space I probably could have squeezed in to, but there was no way I was chancing not being able to get out/the person hitting my vehicle.

Solution for no parking?
Make your own spot.

I parked at the end of a row (right infront of a “no parking” sign) as other cars did. If I go out at 12 and there’s a parking spot, I’m going to be more pissed off and/or livid then I already am.

ARG!
