I wrote a midterm Monday and another one today. I have one more tomorrow and then a couple next week. So I am stressed out and for two days in a row have felt like it should be nighttime in the middle of the afternoon. I studied a lot for my midterm today, and slept very little. As a result, I came home, and crawled into bed. I didn't eat or ( Read more... )

I was listening to the Stars and reorganizing my sock drawer when the album finished and some emo-punk love song that I didn't know came on. It's somehow not bad. It might be that it is 1:37 am and my mind is fried from trying to work on this essay, failing, and doing laundry instead. While trying to work on this essay over the past week,I have ( Read more... )

As soon as I heard about the Biodiversity Blitz (BioBlitz) at SFU, I wanted to volunteer. I didn't count on being so ridiculously tired yesterday. The whole idea was this: find and identify as many species on Burnaby Mountain as possible in 24 hours. The identification part is the really tricky bit ( Read more... )

Today was my second day driving. My dad thought we'd start off turning right onto 10th ave, on a hill. I think it's because he has a deathwish, because I knew I wouldn't really be able to do it. Fortunately the oncoming traffic agreed and stopped. It's a crappy turn to make when you KNOW HOW TO TURN, which I don't. Not really. I was less terrified ( Read more... )

Today I drove a car for the first time. It was incredibly scary, and I was incredibly nervous. I didn't hit anything. I feel like driving and having a deathwish are pretty well the same thing though ( Read more... )

I am hungry now. I wasn't feeling so great this evening, so I rested for a few hours, then I got up and attempted to do some homework. It wasn't terribly successful and I ended up working on a novel that I started in August last year. I am now at 13,823 words. My problem before was a lack of patience, so I just finished writing an incredibly long ( Read more... )

I am going to be brining in the new semester is particularly awesome style. I have been a little bit sick for the past few days, and today (after waking up a few times during the night) I woke up with a headache caused by some pretty fabulous congestion. I usually don't give in to taking painkillers/decongestants very easily, but I felt pretty ( Read more... )

I am so excited about getting textbooks. Somehow that is what will finally convince me that I am going back to school and not being forced to go back to work. Some of the other Co-op students finished on Friday, so the lab won't be as busy, and perhaps my supervisor will feel a bit bad about me being there, slaving away until the bitter end. After ( Read more... )

This is a link my dad showed me after we were talking about computer problems:

I've become distracted...

The past few weeks have been pretty crazy. My computer suffered some troubles, and I suffered some troubles as a result. My dad is super-awesome and made everything better though! I can't take any credit. I may have whined. It wasn't helpful. Work has been busy and stressful and knowing that it ends next week helps me get through it ( Read more... )
