cabin fever

Exams have been in full swing these days, and it's been a big crazy. priorities and timeee management! argh...
but yeah, it was a snowstorm earlier today... kinda crazy.
just a quicky, perhaps...
Last night I went to my friend kevin and christina's house and some other envirosci kids (dear, aisha and shirley) to get together one last time before the end of the semester... I was thinking there'd be more people, but it was a really good time. we all had some drinks, and got tipsy, and then we walked downtown on the icy sidewalks. We were loud and raucous, and then we saw some pervy guys in santa claus costumes that budged in front of us in line into Doogie's. As usual, some classic tunes were playing there, and it was a smashing good time. I guess I had to go out at least once this semester... :p It really is a far cry from last year when i went out at least once every 2 or 3 weeks... I took the bus to the UC with dear, since she was going back to the university, and it was nice talking to her for a little bit, as we got some Sun suns (good drunk chinese food, bad sober chinese food), and sat around waiting for the bus. I haven't seen her pretty much all semester, except during the required 4th year colloqium course, when i was physically in the same room as her. Just talked of how fast time has gone by, and how graduation was looming (hopefully), as I'm sure it dominates most minds of people in 4th year. Then Dear got off at her bus stop in front of East village, and then I saw Adam, a fellow ESSE member, and since the bus didn't take us to our homes, we decided to just slip and slide our way home.
As much as I probably shouldn't have gone out late that night, I think that it was cathartic, and did me some good. That said, I've not been studyong well most of today, which is a bad sign.
Anyhoo I've done 3 exams so far.. spanish (ridiculously easy), soil microbiology and biotechnology (seemed to go well), and microbial processes in environmental management (pretty rough... I hope i passed the course)
Two more await me on monday and tuesday... landscape ecology, and biology of polluted waters. augh... the misery never ends.
yeah, I dunno, I think that because I've never had a proper career type job, I don't really think I know what it's like to go to work, complete your shit there, and come home and not have to fucking worry about it, like you have to do, at least with school.. I've had enough of studying, I think. I'm just sick of holing myself away for two weeks at the end of the semester trying to forcefeed my brain with knowledge.
In other news, I bought books online for the first time! with my last x-mas chapter gift card.. it was pretty exciting. Cuz I got two graphic novels for basically 4 bucks (damn that shipping... It was supposed to cost $35, but shipping and tax bumped it up to like $44... boooo) I'm supposed to get it tuesday or so... So it should be a good present for myself. as a post-exam break.
Ack, there's some much to do in the next week...
I was going to attempt some baked goods for people as christmas presents, so I'm hoping people will not have left for the holidays by the time I have to get around to making the stuff. I also have to pack to go home, and study madly... As well as see Katie, and my friends, and do some christmas shopping for certain people.
Katie and I are leaving guelph on the 17th to go to my aunt's and we're having a christmas dinner of sorts (katie's making pie! weeee!!), and then I leave for vancovuer on the 19th...
Then after that is off to Hong Kong on the 26th, pretty much until school starts again... so it's going to be a wild and hectic time... I'm excited though. :) it should be a blast!!

Anyways, it's time to put my nose to the grindstone again, so good luck on exams everyone!

Oh, I found something the other day... George W. Bush's Resume: HAha... this is pretty amusing... but it's rather scary that someone like this was re-elected though.. :o hooooo boy.
