So, we're sitting around watching the world men's high diving championships (not sure why, other than the only sport I've ever seen Gonzalo disinterested in is golf), and this is the first day in a week that we've had to just do nothing.

Last week, I was fluctuating between a state of extreme stress and extreme boredom, with little room for fun in ( Read more... )

What the FUCK?

I can't get any info on this that actually says whether or not this counts for tourist visas too, which is what Gonzalo was planning on coming in with - it would be insane for them to so suddenly not let Mexicans in on tourist visas without like a six-month grace period or something for tourists to get their shit together, so I can't ( Read more... )

Last night my mom and I took Lauren Tomasik to a movie. I wanted to see Up, and kind of hinted at it to Lauren when I talked to her on the phone, but I couldn't bring myself to push for it too hard because I knew it would be too easy to convince her to agree to see it just because I wanted to, and that would be a huge dick move, considering her ( Read more... )

Holy crap holy crap holy crap

My life might finally start to work!

I have a Concerta prescription!

...Yaaaaaaaaaaay!

A big thank you to my mom for making me hypersensitive lately. But he did make me feel a lot better last night when we had a long conversation about how his ( Read more... )

Today my mom and I drove up to visit Uncle Sam and Aunt Sue, who are actually my dad's aunt and uncle, but whom I consider to be practically my grandparents, since I never met my dad's real parents. They are both 95 years old and live in a room together at Villa Italia, a fancy Italian retirement home on the mountain. They are wonderful people, and ( Read more... )

Well, now I'm just bored.

Really, really bored.

I wish I had someone to hang out with in Hamilton. I'm tired of walking aimlessly around town between Skype dates with Gonzalo.

Maybe I'll try to find some mushrooms to pass the time.

Today I'm picking my courses for next year, back on the UVic campus proper. I have to have it all organised for my sign-up time at 5 pm so I can get into everything, and I'm trying to remember if it was always this complicated and time-consuming. Last year I didn't have to pick any courses, because they were set out for me by the Xalapa program. I ( Read more... )
