Stress...Relief

So I started today stressed out to the max. I blame it all on the stupid lady in front of me going 60 on the Yellowhead from St Albert Trail to 107th. I couldn't pass her because of the traffic in the next lane. I know we were in the "slow" lane but go the freakin speed limit! And consider most people drive 70-90 on the Yellowhead she was doing 10-30 below the speed limit. An accident waiting to happen.

Wow I just needed to rant about that.

Rant number two.

Practicum Hours.
How in the world am I going to do them all? Even just the amount I need to graduate. There is no way I'm not graduating with my friends. That would be the crappiest of all crappy things in the world.
So I was just super stressed about that and ready to quit school. I had no desire to worship in chapel. [bad me I know i couldn't help it though] plus i kinda felt i was at a staged concert not worship. but thats besides the point.
I wrote like 3 pages in my journal while prof. guthrie spoke. I listened too but I really just needed to get a crapload of stuff off my chest. And that is what I did. I find my journal is targeted to a single topic lately. One that requires "Do Not Read" post-its. (I hand my journal in for one of my courses and if I don't want something read then I stick a "Do not read" post it on the page and that is respected...i hope!) The 3rd time all year and this time they are like every second page!!! But that just helped clear my mind quite a bit.
And tonight I got my rough and first draft of my Literature Review done! Yippee. Its only 7 and I accomplished that. That make my outlook brighter! And I'm feeling significantly better about practicum hours too. I'm going to help with the youth silent auction this friday! Which will be a ton of hours!
So this is how my week for practicum hours looks.
Monday- 2 hours meeting with Judi
2.5 hours carnival budget
Tuesday- none
Wednesday- hopefully 1.5 hours cleaning room
potentially 2 hours CFM bulletin board
Thursday- 2 hours sewing club
Friday- 1 hour filing
7-8 hours silent auction
Saturday- fundraising prep 1 hour
Sunday- .5 hour kids worship
So that puts my grand total for the week at..... 18-19 hours! Holy shiza! Thats a lot of hours. Let me see that puts me at... hopefully 55 hours left! Not bad for starting at about 75 at the beginning of this week!
Life is looking brighter!

*giant sigh of relief*

Time Machine...

Does someone have a time machine I could borrow?

I realized today I have 70 hours of practicum to do in 5 weeks.
Holy crap!
well I need 30 more to graduate- but it'll definately screw with my GPA. AHHHH! I can finish the hours over the summer though and that'll fix my mark. This is seriously uncool. I have to work like crazy at both school and practicum.

And for this reason this entry will be short.

As in ending now.

Speaking of Interesting...

Okay work itself was not interesting. Its a library so I mean really.
However Pam tried to get me to go to Anahiem with her. I'm contimplating since she would have enough airmiles for air fare for both of us. Yet it still seems like a lot of money. I'm thinking about it... I never do anything crazy like that.

My parents bought a condo during the 4.5 hours I was at work. Yeah. Crazy. Insanity. Not really as they have been talking about it for like 3 years. Now this means Jen and I are definately getting an apartment. Since I have no room in the new house. Haha. I was planning on moving out anyways. This just makes it for sure for sure. Kraft Dinner night here I come!

They got a new 42" plasma tv with the house as well. Personally I think thats the only reason they bought it.

I don't want to do homework. I did work out though. 45 minutes on the elliptical. An episode of Alias. Woohoo.

Reality is setting in though. Assignments are due in 11 days. Yikesabee! (Wow its been a while since I've said that)

Trip to Anahiem or a new digital camera and a months rent.... decisions, decisions.

Sunday Times...

I didn't go to church this morning. Well it doesn't start for another hour so I guess the correct term would be "i'm not going to church this morning." The roads are still horrible crazy and I don't feel like driving to church for probably 45 minutes being their for half an hour to then drive the 45 minutes back to work. Its just not logical.

So I have a few hours to kill before work.

Here's what I hope to accomplish in that time:

Work out
Homework

Okay thats all I hope to accomplish. I have very low goals today.

Through surfing blogs I've discovered way too many people write about politics. Okay maybe I shouldn't say way too many. It just seems an exorbenent amount. I also saw some weird pictures of Emma Watson (aka Hermoine) drinking beer. She is 15. And that was random.

Jileane- yes. feel priveleged. You are a priveleged sort of person. And yes crappit will go down in history and will be remembered for all time, or at least until next week.

Tony- I think I puked in my mouth a little.... sweat in the vatofood. *shudder* I don't want to think about it. The sweating is just going to get worse in Thailand. From the few people I know that are there doing their internships, they say there are lots of internet cafes. I'm excited for you guys to go to Thailand and Pakistan. Both sound like amazing opportunities. I'll be praying tons for you guys! ps. I miss the man underneath the layer of sweat more than the sweat...)

Lena- I've heard about the KFC biscuts. That is weird. I could go for a biscut right now. When you get back we will have to have a KFC, certain unnamed television show *ahem*, and caramel apple day. Maybe a little bit of ice cream thrown in there. If we are going to be that unhealthy we might as well go all the way! Remember everything that happens in Thailand and Pakistan so you can tell me about. And I mean everything. Every detail. That is your mission should you choose to accept it. And accept it you must! ;)

Okay I guess I could go start on my list of things to do before work.

If something interesting happens at work I'll write later.

I'm back...

Okay.
So I'm back.
Its been a while.
But I feel like its time to blog again.

Um don't read too much into my whole layout. Unless you are certain people who know certain things. Then read as much into it as you like. But please don't ask me about it. I'm confused as a dizzy catepillar. Or something. And that is all I will speak on the subject for now.

I have created a new word. Crappit. It refers to the roads conditions here. Its snowed like 30 cm since last night. Its horrible. I suppose crappit could describe many things though. What I'm not sure- insert your own things crappit describes here-.

School is drawing to a close! Which is sad and relieving all at the same time. I've decided to stay at Vanguard for 3 more years.
All of my classmates but one are in Thailand right now. I miss them something fierce. 39 days til they come home.

I went to youth last night for the first time in a long time. It was some good times.

As a result of Tim Hortons after midnight and alarming number of people know something about me that I almost wish they didn't. But Daniel has his fingers crossed for me so I think that makes me feel better.

Work was horribly slow today. Normally the library is a gong show of busy-ness. Today was brutal. Nothing to do. But I did get paid great to do very little.

So here I am blogging again. I sort of missed it. And I want this one to last. I plan to have a much more exciting life so hopefully it will.
