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!

I'm so grateful to be nowhere...

So my title has nothing to do with my entry... well, it might. It's from the song "Hateful" by The Clash. I'm really getting into punk again. It's crazy. I think I'm having a phase because I was into Jpop, Jrock and Kpop at the beginning of the year and all of a sudden bam! Punk makes a comeback into my playlist. haha. I think it might be the stress I've been having at school/not school. I guess I need some sort of outlet to release all my built up agression. Come to think of it, listening to The Distillers makes me a bit better...

My attempt at waking up early failed... again. Well, mind you, it wasn't entirely my fault. My brother walked into my room this morning at about... 7:45AM, woke me up and took my house keys. Now, being disturbed from my once pleasant sleep made me cranky and all I could think of was how angry I was... and a slur of profanities soon ensued. 

So I eventually got up at 11AM which wasn't bad since my class started at 2:30PM. I spent about and hour fixing up the report I should have had done the night before. I know, total procrastination. Then I got ready and headed for a crowded bus to get to school. 

Today was really, really nice. According to the weatherman it was about 20 degrees outside. It felt like summer today. So the bus was a little late and I had to rush to class. That, plus the hot weather made me a little uncomfortable. 

So lecture was pretty boring. When I feel like I'm going to fall asleep, I try to write down as much as possible... so then I can keep myself awake. I don't like sleeping in class because I find that to be really disrespectful to the professor. So for tutorial, which happened shortly after, we got group projects. The group I had DID NOT TALK. It was so awkward between all of us. I would try talking to people... but it would still be extremely awkward. I don't know what the big deal is, we just need to get the project done. End of story. 

So I saw two of my friends once I got out of tutorial. Er.. set up friend + other friend? I really should make up some temporary names. Anyway, I walked set up friend to her bus stop and waited with her until her bus came. We just talked about certain stuff and I was telling her, "hm.. maybe I'll sit with you guys in class tomorrow" and she goes, "oh and Jimmy" Yes, I shall refer him to Jimmy to avoid confusion. Anyway, it always has the tendency to go back to him somehow. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, apparently lots of people are getting set up with Jimmy well, more like... 2: myself and set-up girl's cousin. Set-up girl's mom apparently tried to set  them up but I think to no avail. I won't go into details. Anyway, I'm not so sure about this whole thing anymore because of this whole stress plus homework thing. I think I don't have time for a boyfriend. I think I would be constantly neglecting them if I ever got one. It would be unintentional of course... but it would happen. Well, then again, if we were in the same program, same amounts of work and we would understand the pressures of our respective programs. I don't know, pros and cons on both options. I feel a little indifferent about it right now, which I think would be best. That way, I don't/won't expect anything and that way, I can be more pleasantly surprised. 

So it's two days until a potential strike. I think we won't know if there will be one for sure until it actually happens, which is 12:01AM on Thursday. I'm going to get my work done just in case and you know, if I have the work done and there is a strike, I won't have to worry about it later on. 

Okay, so with that said, I'll take off and do some work... *sigh*

The End.

P.S. I saw one of those real estate ads on a bus while I was getting to class. They had the slogan in COMIC SANS. That is like, typeface blasphemy... and the fact that it was on something as big as a bus makes me want to cry.
