re-enter the bureaucracy
in trying to register for classes at the u of m i've just learned that the nursing faculty continues to place a hold on my account. i thought i'd provided them with all necessary documentation sufficient for the hold to be lifted. apparently not. i can't call the office to have my hold lifted until tuesday - the day i plan to make the ultra-long drive back to winnipeg. hooray for me and my inability to do anything until the last minute! you think i'd have grown out of that by now, or at least learned a lesson or two from my previous five years of university. again, apparently not. i'm officially blaming my summer spent in the bush and the general lack of linear time found therein. thank you, john zerzan, for facilitating the degradation of my ability to function within 'normal' society.
on that note, i'm looking forward, in a sense, to my return to the un-forested lands that comprise the city of winnipeg. more time spent in the bush would further erode my ability and/or desire to return to the civilised world. it was a hell of a good summer in the juvenile forests of northern alberta and i absolutely loved my time in the more mature forests of the kootenais. there's something out there (well, a lot out there) that tells me that there's too much wrong with this world. more on this later. we'll see if a winter confined in the concrete halls of the u of m can crush my zerzan-loving spirit.
so, yeah, i'll be back in the 'peg late tuesday night. there's a need for beers with all you fine winnipeg folk.
i'll close on a sad and entirely unrelated note. the search for athabasca tower person stephanie stewart has ended. police now suspect foul-play. i now suspect the legion of ultra-sketchy meth-heads that inhabit west-central alberta. jesus fuck, who the fuck would drive to a lookout tower and do who-knows-what to a seventy-year-old tower woman? it sickens me. this has been a major blow to the tower community (which is very close-knit and includes many individuals with decades of experience) and will certainly make tower people and alberta forestry think twice about drive-in towers.
