A new school year, a new beginning...
Day one and two are officially over for school..the year is pretty much in full swing. I feel pretty old there now....looking at the first years thinking, "Man..those were the days...."
So in light of it being a new year..I have decided to change the template on this thing. It's a new blue!!! And it's so nice. Blue rules!!! Hopefully a new change would signify new growth in school this year. Just hopefully.... =P
School is pretty different since a bunch of my friends graduated. I do know that, you guys Audrey and Cindy, are still there...but it's really quite different. It's more boring now, more mundane. Nothing really to look forward to. Mac Hall even seems more bleak. I am glad that my hours at this institution are not long, or else I will bore myself to death. Hopefully, later in the school year, I'll have more things to do (but not toooo many things, of course). I do hope that I am able to meet up w/ Audrey and Cindy during our breaks. Not seeing friends at school makes one go a wee bit nuts.
How are my classes so far?
Chem 331: Interesting. My two student co-workers are in that class as well...so all we talk about is work...which isn't that great. Classroom is packed to the max. Why can't they find a better room? With larger desks? SA 106 is really depressing.
Coms 203: Oh god. My only motivation to go to this class is that my sister has Zoology xxx at the same time so I have to go. God. It's at 8 in the morning and already the first lecture seemed like it was strangling me. Better be worth it for the damn gpa booster. Maybe one day I'll bring this laptop to class and get wireless internet since my class is in ICT. Then I could update this more often *yay*!
Chem 421: My prof must be from Norway or Sweden...cause he talks like that guy on those Ikea commericals on Vibe in the morning. I sit in class thinking, "oooOoOooOohhh...when is he going to go 'Ahhh! One at a time!!'" Anyways, I'm dreading the group project in that class. Everyone in Science must hate group projects and presentations. Why do they make us do one? It really won't benefit us like they think it would.
On the good note: I got my car fixed *yay*. After getting new rims that didn't fit (I wasn't very happy about that), I got my old rims fixed (hooray for that), and fixed it all up at the mechanic. It was a horrible weekend though. I flipped out at a guy in Wal-Mart Auto centre. Well..I think I could probably punched him in the face....he was being such a jack-ass. But it's okay...but I know that I have a short fuse when I am stressed and impatient. *pat*pat*. But all is well and done. I can drive my car again!
As for work, my boss is quiting. Which makes me very sad. I really like him....he was really cool and such a good person to talk to, not to mention he was the one who offered me this job in the first place. He found something bigger and better of course.....and I'm very happy for him.... especially since they mistreat him so much here. But nevertheless....I hate to sever old ties. I will miss his presence...since he is the reason why I came back to this job. But at least I know that he found something bigger and better lifts my hopes up in that maybe I can find something like that too. Hopefully upon graduation I can find a job with a consulting company for oil and gas doing remediation or something of the like....or work for City of Calgary...or work for Nova Chemicals. Although polymers and plastics are not really my forte....I think doing something not related to oil and gas could be a rewarding experience. But regardless...to get into Nova you gotta be nothing short of a genius. Maybe when I have like..10 years experience in whatever field I can think about it again. But for now....for 11.50 an hour...I will grind my teeth and bear it. For the sake of my career...I only hope I can hold on...!
Anyways..if Brian is reading out there....we miss you here!!! Darren says he's sorry that he missed your phone call.....but we still want to keep in touch. Please email when you have the time.

Yes, I am reading this. Couldn't get online for the past few days cause there is something wrong with the internet at home (or I screw it up). Just got it fixed late last night.
Everything is ok here, except the weather. First thing I got out from the plane is "can I get back to Canada?". Too hot...too humid...might take me a while to get it through.
Good luck in all your courses. You should be ok, since Darren has all of the notes u need for those courses. And sorry to hear about your car.
