You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.
Praise the Lord! I actually have a moment to sit down and write my own entry, but what to say? I mean, it has been a month since I last wrote about that "holiday" we call Hallowe'en, but has anything really happened since then?
I've just been doing my own thing, really getting into my schedule, keeping the nose to the grind stone some would say. I've been working four to five times a week at La Collina and Sylvan and attending every god damn class at UVic. That seems to take up quite a bit of time itself nevermind the assignments I was putting off, hanging out with my boy toy and my girl toy aka Justine. Then you can't forget about family and that gadget we collect around most of the time. No, not the table... the TV, yeah that's the one. My brother has moved back in again which is going alright for now, but who knows what the future will bring. I'm hoping he'll really get into the Christmas spirit and stay happy and cooperative in our house. I try not to stay too hopeful and positive when it comes to Christopher Wood though.
Speaking of Christmas, for some odd reason I'm feeling fairly positive about it. Actually, I'm quite shocked at my unusual amount of positivity and happiness over the past few months, but I do know why it's lingering. I'm busy/productive/achieving goals which makes Jocelyn a happy camper. I mean, look back to the summer entries and there's me bored off my rocker all depressed and brooding. Come September, I don't have many entries, but they are pretty much all happy or contemplative. Between school, work and the people I love to spend time with I don't really have a chance to be lonely or down on things. I am extremely tired when I don't have something to do though, which does suck. I mean I go to school and work during the week, then I work all weekend. After my weekend shifts where I just get to go home or hang out with people I'm yawning, have no energy to go party even if I actually do feel like it and just want to relax and sleep. I'm pretty sure some people are getting tired of only hanging out with sleepy Jocelyn and want the one that hasn't been on her feet for ten hours dealing with customers. What can I do?
The semester has been going really well. So far I've been able to handle the work and school work load without letting my marks slip out from under me. I'm very surprised with how well I'm doing too. I knew my brain wasn't total crap, but A material university brain...Wow Brain, I'm impressed. I'm very happy to only have one semester left because there were several weeks this month where I wanted to slay school. It's crazy how fast it's all gone too. With one week left how can I not look forward to having only studying/work/sleeping/eating to worry about for the exam weeks? Not having to attend some of those dull ass classes will cure my sweepiness. I can proudly say I only skipped one class and that was so I could go and work on another classes project (pat myself on the back).
There is one thing I've been dying to get out of my head and onto my LJ though and that is I'm going to Europe in May!!!!!!! I feel like ever since I decided I was going in May time has slowed down to torture me. I just want to rush through this next semester and get on that plane and live. My cousin Mary and I are going together which is cool because I didn't think I'd have anyone to go with which would be very scary. We've got family or friends to stay with in France, Austria, Holland and Ireland (if we go there) to save a little cash, but we're basically going to hit all the safe hot spots that we can. Amsterdam, Paris, Brussels, Brugge, Nice, Venice, Florence, Rome, maybe Berlin and Athens if we have enough money/time. I don't even care if we stay in France the entire time, I'm just happy to be going on an adventure. With Anna in Ireland and Mary in New York right now, it really makes me jealous to see them off in the world, off this island experiencing different things. I'm itching for a chance to travel and I've found it, if only it would arrive sooner. Whenever I have a moment to just sit and think, that is all I think about and it has really been keeping the smile on my face.
Well, I should probably start doing a little homework with what time I have left before next class. Yay for an update and yay for the wonderful life I live.
