Shit, Tyrone. Get it together

title of entry explanation , and my general mindset for the past 24 hours -------- I am done exams! Finally! I think International Relations was the hardest of them all, both in terms of studying and the actual exam - studying made me feel really overwhelmed, as there were a lot of periphery theories we hadn't covered in class, and the prof didn't have an in-class review. I'm really glad all my...

i put the 'stud' in studying, and other epistolary extravaganzas

Before I begin: basically everyone on my flist seems to be feeling down/stressed/not their usual kickawesome selves lately. This makes me sad, and it also makes me want to hug you all. Which is sort of hard given our geographical confinements, but just FYI you're all amazing, compassionate, intelligent, beautiful people who do all kinds of wonderful things and I admire and look up to each ...

It's hard out there for a cheeks

I loff my fambly. I phoned home yesterday and talked to my mom and Yaden, and for some reason I just got overly nostalgic and spent like 15 minutes with Yaden talking about how much we missed our kitty , so then I got all sadface. Since she got a camera for her birthday, and because I've been missing home like crazy this semester, I asked her to take a whole bunch of pictures and send them to me...

This is me putting this somewhere so I won't have to cry it into my pillow

FEEL FREE TO IGNORE ALL OF THIS, IT'S JUST ME GRIPING. ---------- My final essay in IR is due tomorrow (topic: something about overfishing and its causes/solutions examined from a realist POV, except I really have no idea), and I haven't started. I know. I'm a lazy failure uncommitted to academic excellence. I'm just a little tired and sick and frustrated with myself for several things: a) I ...

Sometimes a question and sometimes a gratitude

I didn't get the JF position. ...which for some reason I figured was going to happen. I'm disappointed, but not too badly, since I wasn't sure if I would have even accepted it in the extremely unlikely event I got it. I'm sure the disappointment will catch up with me if only because I spent so much time thinking about it and turning it over in my head and thinking about what it would be like. ...

Sure Fire Winners

I had my JF interview tonight!! I was so nervous for it - I left Arabic half an hour into the class because I realized that because of bus traffic I would only have 10 minutes at home and I had to print my resume and references and application and straighten my hair ... once I got home, all the lights in the bottom two floors of the house went out, so I had to use Val's printer on the top floor ...

Remembrance

Today is another Remembrance Day; I was thinking of my darling Jolene all day today, as well as her brother, Trooper Darryl Caswell, who was killed on June 11th, 2007 by a roadside bomb north of Kandahar in Afghanistan. It's been two and a half years now, and I know he's still missed dearly, by Jolene and many others. I didn't know him, but I remember him, and I think of him, and I thank him ...

Down the rabbit hole

As a side-note before I begin: I EFFING LOVE THIS SONG AND IT IS MY NEW ANTHEM. THE END. ----------------- Halloweek continues to be AWESOME. Yesterday was Robin Hood (complete with construction-paper hats and feathers, as well has two sets of bows-and-arrows: one from Canadian Tire, one fashioned from random stuff in our backyard) and I had to take the bus alone again and I'm sure I was laughed ...
