Free Internet. The only positive thing about metrobus

This update is brought to you in part by metrobus.I hopped on the wrong route one and in stead of going directly from mun to the village I am taking the scenic route past the confederation building, cna, and the marine institute. The bus is then headed back to mun before heading to the village. Good thing I left early or work may have gotten an interesting phone call. The weather is trying its best to make everyone feel gloomy but I have my iPod some good tunes and a way to update my blog. School is going well so far I am not under too much strain yet and my assignments seem to be spread out fairly evenly. I think I am going to survive the semester. I have my first grammar test tomorrow and I am slightly nervous as the course is a veritable widow maker from what I hear. The prof seems to think I will do well and she sure seems to like calling on me in class so maybe there is some truth behind that. The bus just filled up and because it is raining everyone is wet and therefore they all smell wonderful. In fact I am almost certain corpses smell better.

This weekend is looking to be a pretty stellar weekend. Thursday night ( not quite the weekend I know but well close enough) a bunch of us are going to 345 (church) at the levee. Friday will be devoted to homework assignments as Saturday is devoted to work and Andrea's party. Whenever her parents go away Andrea let's the diploma program kids and her theatre friends party at her place and it's usually a good time. Normally Ryan dillon would have a party the night before but he was one of the friends who moved away :(. Side note: the huge guy beside me on the bus smells especially bad. Sunday I plan to rearrange my room and super clean it. It always makes me feel great when my room is really clean and organized but I rarely maintain that for long. I recently cleared my cork boards off and put everything into a notebook and I planned to post the results as soon as I figure out how to get my phone to send me the pictures.

Bus is almost at the village.

Later days.

And I thought I was busy before!

I have a problem. I do it all too often and sometimes I catch myself doing it but only after I have comitted to doing it. I make myself unbelievably busy.

Case in point today was the first day of my fourth year of university, nothing strange about that, an accomplishment I would say but also a challenge. This semester I have registered for not just five (the regular Full course load) but six courses. I went to four of my six courses today and from the look of the syllabus, I am behind already. To improve things even more I am taking a course for my Diploma Program in Performance and Communications Media that involves producing a play. This means at the height of my workload and stress levels this November / December I will be entering a full week of assisting in the production of a play and making sure everything goes smoothly.This semester is going to be challenging but it will be rewarding when I finally finish it all and I can look back and say that I accomplished a difficult feat of endurance and patience.

Also I feel like this is noteworthy enough to add to this blog post. I had a run in today with a prof that I have had in the past for two of my courses. I consider her to be one of the most well educated and well spoken people I have met in my university career. She has sparked a love for literature in me just through her teachings and passion on the topic. In short I could say that I am in love with this professor. I ran in to her today and she greeted me by name and asked about my summer and what the semester had in store for me. She wished me luck on succeeding with my six course endeavor and there is a course that she is offering next term that I may just have to register for if I can fit it into my schedule. To put it lightly as soon as she was out of sight I swooned hardcore.

That's all for tonight Friends I am off to bed as I have another fun-filled day of school tomorrow and enough readings to make enough comfy little nests for all of the mice in the world.

Later Days
