The week of insanity
Happy belated Gobble Gobble.. otherwise known as Thanksgiving...
I just had my first kineseology midterm- I have another one in november- and it wasnt that bad.. im glad i studied.. if i hadnt, it would not have been pretty.. i imagine there would have been a lot of sobbing and wimpering during the exam had i not known a few things.
As it was, I ran out of time, and had to leave a few questions blank. I hate doing that... but i left the questions that were not worth very much, so that made me feel a little better.
I was planning on working on my english paper during my break today- because i didnt anticipate that the TA's and professor would expectus to attend tutorial today. What a joke. Tutorial after an exam? what are we going to do? stare at each other and talk about our studying techniques?
geez...
On a lighter note, I had a great weekend. I saw Tom for most of the weekend, and that was, i suppose to make up for the fact that i wont be seeing him at all this coming weekend. I will be going to Cache Creek for a geography field trip and will be lucky if i can find a phone. I have some great friends in the class, so i imagine i will be spending most of my time with them while i am there. I will bring a pack of cards and something entertaining to do, so that i dont have to spend money getting drunk. Should be an interesting time- i need to be at SFU for 830.. and i can only imagine what would happen if the bus didnt come that day or something. I would cry.. and then i would fail b/c the bus would leave without me. And that would totally suck.
My sister was surprisingly nice this weekend. I think it had to do with the fact that Tom was present- so she couldnt be too nasty- and that mom had prepared our dinner all day (mostly stuff she liked) to make everything really special. I find it ironic that she is nasty in front of Tom, but none of my other friends.. I think its funny that she shows her double, evil, vendictive side in front of my boyfriend, but is sweetness and light for everyone else. She should forget journalism and become an actress.
Just wrote a comment about a guy who compared the teacher's strike to the NHL hockey lockout in the daily free magazine "24." I wanted to say, "Are you fucking insane?! comparing hockey to education?! (although it appears at times that hockey is appreciated more than education, but whatever) But what i said was.. "This comment is to the guy who compared the NHL lockout with the teacher's strike. I think your comment is stupid, and i'll tell you why. Hockey is a form of entertainment, a sport, a game were the players are paid too much and the egos are even bigger than the paycheck. Teachers are undervalued by the government- and by you as well it appears- and have been told that they do not have the right to strike- a democratic right that the hockey players were able to exhibit. Get a clue. come back to reality, and get informed on the issues, and the actual struggles of the federation of teachers and why they are willing to get arrested for something that is so democraticlly unjust.
yep.. next i will be leading a protest through the streets of vancouver..
People like Gordo really piss me off. These are people who disagree with something just because.. its like disliking a food that you have never tried, or criticizing a country that you have never visited. He's an idiot. And absolute asshole. I'm appalled that he was put back in office.. and i am proud that i was not one of those people that put him back there..
Look at the crap he is piling onto the teachers.. I'm so mad..
I've decided to go walk with them tommorow and see how they are holding up. Maybe get them some cookies or something..
back to the grind of concentrating and studying for more exams.. *sigh*
