I have a quiz on Julius Caesar and the rise of Augustus tomorrow afternoon. Good thing the textbook is very easy reading.

Work tonight was okay. I served four tables. Made roughly $25-30. Desperately needed. I have two major trips coming up:
- leave Friday (26th) for Toronto, hotel should be paid by OAWOA (Ontario Amateur Wrestling Officials' ( Read more... )

I "learned" how to play poker on the way to Guelph. I'm not horribly bad - especially for not really knowing what hand beats what and-so-on ( Read more... )

It's snowing! And it's cold.

My bus didn't come. Well, at least it didn't come on time - so I had to reschedule my Big Sister mentoring to Wednesday. I'm grateful that the teacher is so understanding and flexible.

I got a B in Canadian Women's Fiction and Feminist Thought. So, to recap: A+ in Greek History, A- in Plants and Herbivores, A- in Death and Afterlife, B in Women's Fiction, B- in Shakespeare. Not too shabby! Best term yet! CGPA of ... 23.5 (30 is best for 5 classes). SFU and Brock and Potsdam will see this. Sweet ( Read more... )

Today's the first day of my LAST SEMESTER EVER at Carleton.

I was 20 minutes late to Mycology (the study of fungi). It's such a nerd course. I'm annoyed, though, that the textbook is nowhere to be found at the bookstore. It's Tue/Thu 10-11:30.
20% = Midterm Exam Feb. 820% = Term Paper (10-12 pages ( Read more... )

This is awesome! My marks friggin rock this term ... which is pretty weird because I went in with the "as long as I pass" attitude - and it's my best semester thus far!

Plants & Herbivores: A-
Greek History: A+
Death & Afterlife: A-
Shakespeare: B- (how did that happen? for a class dependent on participation, and I skipped 1/2 of the classes...) ( Read more... )

Writing my stupid take home Women's Lit essays. Almost one of three done. Luckily, they're only 3-5 pages long and they're comparative essays ... so I don't have to get down and dirty at all. It's still brutal, though ( Read more... )

So Thursday night as I'm leaving, my manager asks me if I can come in Saturday morning to train the new girl on breakfast stuff. It's my only day off (well, I'm scheduled 5-close) and Alex came home Friday morning (but I was reffing all day). WHY did I say I would? The new girl is good and all, but ... anyway, so I slept in Kanata and left super ( Read more... )

The SPARKS loved my idea of "pass the parcel" as a game! *yeay* ... and they loved the craft - and the parents were enamored with it too! I made the same craft this morning when I went to my Big Sisters mentoring and he loved it - and we made Christmas cards and that was a big hit. *wahoo!*
