Crossing Fingers

So I had to go to Oakville today. A few people didn't attend class because of this "Day of Action" event where students are protesting to drop tuition fees. I'm all for it, but I need to go to class. We basically got the list of things we need to know for our 'kind of' midterm. I got 3 hours of sleep last night... It's usually enough... but today, it wasn't.  I was trying so hard not to fall asleep in class today. I was writing notes to my friend next to me, which helped. Oh, in the middle of lecture today, the fire alarm came on. We slowly evacuated the building... I think it was a drill. We only stayed outside for 10 minutes at the most and continued with class. Once class was over, a bunch of us went to the computer lab and printed out the readings we should have had done. I'll need to do some hardcore studying this weekend. My midterm is next Wednesday and I really need to do well. I know I bombed that essay because of my intense procrastination and I have to pick up the slack. I guess that's something I really like about University. There's always a chance to redeem yourself because everything is weighted so heavily. 

I'm planning to do some work today. I need to get a type project and visual language thing done for tomorrow. I'm going to try to get a lot done today. I'm probably not going to sleep much. What makes me really happy right now is the the fact that on Indesign, I can export things to PDF and print it off my PC. That means I might actually get the chance to sleep in tomorrow. Last week was... crazy. Okay, a contradiction to my previous statement. I'm going to get done what I absolutely need to have done tonight and then I'll check the York website at midnight to see if the school is on strike. If they are, I'm going to sleep. haha. 

So Jimmy wasn't in class today. He decided to skip because people were going to that "Day of Action" today. As soon as I get on the bus, I saw set-up friend and she went, "yeaaah, Jimmy's not here..." Aw man. 

Alright, so I'm getting more convinced not to have a boyfriend. Not only do I not have the time, but if I had one, I wouldn't get any work done. Case in point: remember those two people in my program that got together? Apparently they don't even get any work done in the labs. All they do is make out. Ew. Do they have no shame? I mean, yeah you can do that... just not in public. Especially in a place where people need to get work done. You're not only distracting people, but you're also making them uncomfortable. The computer isn't your house where you can fool around wherever the hell you want. I mean, if I had a boyfriend I would be way too embarrassed to pull something like that. *shudders* I think the most I would do in public would be hugging and hand-holding. Anything beyond that is just... guh. 

Okay, so I need to get work done. I'll keep you up to date!

The End.

P.S. So the U.S. federal Election was yesterday (old news, I know) and Barack Obama won! Not only did he win, he totally dominated. Awesome job. It's really amazing how last night, we all witnessed something historical. Obama became the first black President, which is pretty extraordinary. It shows how much progress we've made since the civil rights movement, where black people didn't even have the right to vote. It's also amazing how people around the world are affected by this. I'm not even American and I'm in awe. It's good to see that a positive change has finally taken place. Hopefully the mess Bush made the past eight years will finally get cleaned up. I think I'll leave it at that for now, because I'm getting all riled up and I can talk about this topic for hours. So long!
