I posted on the holiday_wishes community a while back requesting either used books or random artwork for my room and I got my first package in the mail today. This is so exciting! I can't believe a stranger actually took the trouble to send me this :')

I had my last exam of the term yesterday. I'm hanging around Waterloo for a bit longer because I have a meeting with my co-op boss on Friday. I want to see my family again but I really don't know if can handle three weeks in that apartment. I called home last weekend and I got into another expected quarrel with my mother. Every week she continues ( Read more... )

I had two exams today, and one was worth 75%. I've made it my personal duty to tell everyone I've come into contact with this fact. Probably in an attempt to salvage my self-esteem. If I do poorly on either or both of those exams at least I will have a valid excuse for why I did poorly. In reality though, I'm not cut out for this and I should own ( Read more... )

I got hired for a co-op job! And it's on campus too! I'll be working in the Health Services department doing a lot of outreach initiatives. I start in January. Somehow despite my sporadic pessimism I knew things would work out in the end. (I'm still planning on dropping out of the co-op progrom after this work term though). In total I think I ( Read more... )

I went to a small house party on Friday and my friend and her boyfriend tried to set me up with this guy just because we were talking and sitting together on the couch. I guess I was kind of flattered that they thought that a guy would actually be interested in me. And according to them we looked cute together. But it made me feel super ( Read more... )

I've been thinking about dropping out of the co-op program and just switching to the regular stream of study. The more I think about it the more supportive I become about it. If I do drop out I'll be able to apply to be a residence don next year (since I won't be alternating between studying and working every four months). The position is very ( Read more... )

The message board for my online Social Psychology course was spammed with angry messages from students after the marks of a recent online test were posted. Apparently a lot of people did really poorly and they started complaining about how unfair the course was and how impractically large the workload was. I actually did really well on that test ( Read more... )

Things have not been going so well. But I had a good cry. Well, several. Including one rather awkward one in the middle of one of my lecture. I've been staying on campus really late and walking home alone late. It sucks. It's cold and wet and dark and lonely and I'm blowing all my money on overpriced campus food. I don't know when I'll be getting ( Read more... )

I spent an entire evening studying with my two of my classmates for my bio midterm (it's labelled as a bio course but it's mostly math). I was actually the one that approached them and suggested we study together because they looked like they were struggling as much as I was so I wasn't intimidated by them. (Really intelligent people cause my ( Read more... )

Nothing is going right. I didn't get the job. I didn't even get ranked. They looked so impressed with me during the interview too. I suppose it would be too perfect though if I had gotten that job and I never expect anything in my life to be perfect. I couldn't even list for you all the things I have to get done within the next few weeks. My brand ( Read more... )
