As I sip my rum and coke, and ponder my year through a somewhat drunken stupper, I am forced to concede that life is not all that misserable. Much as the media would tell me it is, today I heard them say there were 3 attacks and an airline crash. Yet I am unperturbed for my flight tomorow. The fear of DEATH does not pervade me. The fear of not ( Read more... )

Yay. I was greated with a partially my fault lateness getting home, followed by a not so fun amount of yelling on and off for the next 12 hours. That was less then fun. IT's good to be home, but I'd forgotten that people in my home have less civility then 12 naked men chasing after one another. Mmmm. Thats not a nice image ( Read more... )

It's become more then evident to me that the canadian education system is a piece of rotting .. well, yes. Something unpleasent anyway.

Alot of town in a little ( Read more... )

Yay, Thursday was such an insane day. Wendsday evening at 5:00 I remembered that there is a registered letter for me at the post office which I couldn't pick up earlier becouse of Rememberence day(god my spelling sucks). Hmm, no surprise, it's from Emmanuel College(the college at cambridge I'm applying for). Hmm, no surprise it's the request for ( Read more... )

finally, just a little bit more to go. My Cambridge application is done, I've sent in 3 of the required forms, I'll be getting written asignments from them in the next week or so, I'll recieve an interview request by the end of the month, and I'm gonna die. *sighs* One of the entries on the last form was taped on, with slightly wrinkled tape, ( Read more... )
