Oh, procastination :)
I officially cannot absorb any more information about cultural pluralism or ethnic conflict or the effects of French colonialism. My developing areas midterm (round two) is tomorrow but I couldn't be any less stressed. I probably should be, but I'm just not in the mood. I'm going to hope for the best and if I do worse....so what? Not the end of the world. At least that's what I'm telling myself tonight!
Life's been very good lately. I've applied for two summer jobs: Guest Service Agent at BMH and Logistics Coordinator for the Just for Laughs Festival. I'm also applying at the bookstore, gym, etc, but I really want the BMH job. It's full time, the pay is decent and it's so close to where I'll be living. The Logistics Coordinator position would be great as well, but probably very high stress. I'd be looking after accomodations and transporation for all of the comedians arriving in Montreal. I'm hoping for any sort of interview shortly so that I can have some peace of mind.
So...events of the past few days!
I slept over at Ambreen's on Monday (yes, we're in the same rez but some catch-up time was long overdue!) I've really grown to love her. I haven't known her for that long but she's very easy to open up to. We realized that even though the boy situation didn't go according to plan, we ended up becoming closer as a result. It's nice to know that something (very) good has come of a seemingly regrettable situation. I met up with Kate for coffee the next afternoon and we had a nice little chat. I thought about how interestingly our friendship has developed. Looking back on all of our 'incidents' just made me laugh. I'm glad we're good now, though. I think we finally understand each other and I couldn't be happier because she's become such an important person in my life. I'm a self proclaimed 'advice seeker' - I often pour my heart out to others before thinking things through myself - and she's always been there to listen to me ramble about god-knows-what.
Nat's friend from home who goes to Western came down from Sunday to Wednesday. She has to be one of the friendliest people I've ever met. Jen B, Nat, Lauren, Chloe and myself all went out to Cafe Campus on Tuesday. Nat was the drunkest she's ever been here and I pretty much loved my life. It was time for a role reversal! 80s night is always a blast. There's nothing better than Madonna, cheap beer and crazy dancing :) I went out to Acropolis for Greek food with Lauren last night. We have these dinner dates a few times each semester where we sit for as long as they allow and catch up on everything. It made me that.much.more excited to live with her this summer. It looks like it's going to be a great time. And today? I had a good talk with the boy on his way to the caf and it completely reassured me that friendship is quite possible. The conversation was very natural and laced with numerous 'buddy' references. He got a bit flustered towards the end and mentioned that he had a 'Green Party Putton' (instead of button) to give me. I'm glad that I could laugh in his face about it instead of just awkwardly brushing it off. Ahh, normalcy is a beautiful thing! It's about time.
Time to go do more work :( Here's to kicking the shit out of Brynen's multiple choice tomorrow! :)
