Ah, finally, a day off! Yeah I've been busy lately, too busy to update anyways. I've worked the past 7 days in a row, so its nice to get a little breather. I'm probably going to be running around the next few days anyways, I've gotta get my mom a present for Hallmark day and my dad a b-day gift. The sad part is I have very little idea when my dad's birthday is, I just know its in the second half of May, so I'm gonna buy him something and just give it to him regardless, I'm horrible with dates. I gotta do a bit more cleaning around here too, plus I'm planning on hitting the gym again for the next two days, and then I'll be back to work for another week. This week upcoming I have 40 hours, as I was promised. I'm looking forward to when the checks start rolling in, I'd really like to start increasing my savings, maybe even pay for all my tuition and books this years. I'm still so utterly happy to be getting my summer break, even though I'm working my butt off, its nice not to have deadlines and exams and papers hanging over me all the time. I really don't think I'm cut out for academic life, thats all they do, write papers and do research, that being said, I've never really been able to research something that has been my passion, so who am I to say at this point. My marks this semester were quite unremarkable, unsurprisly considering that my patience was stretched to the breaking point with school in general, I only need one more mark, and it is arguably the most important, I'm praying not to fail, because if I don't pass that seminar I am going to lose it, I probably won't go outside for a while day, I just sit in my room brooding. So yes, I pray that day doesn't come.
So, I've finally thrown in the towel on the Sens this year. After last night I've come to realize that this just isn't their year to win the cup. So I'm pining my hopes on next year. Also, I think I've actually become a bigger hockey fan this year. There was a time this year when my attention towards hockey was greatly diminished, I suppose I was still suffering from post-strike apathy, but now I'm into again, full strength. Too bad I came to this only in the post-season lol. Anyways theres always next year. I haven't had anytime lately to play my xbox 360. Truth be told, its kind of because I don't wanna have to go sit in the living room, because I can pretty much guarantee that Ashley is going to be there, she doesn't do much anymore except play my 360 and watch tv. Sometimes I envy her, I've got like two new games that I've hardly gotten a chance to play, a laptop that I'd love to tool around on and several guitars that I love playing, but 40 hours out of my week I'm too busy making money to enjoy any of that. And her on the other hand, gets to enjoy all the benefits of my hard work, without doing anything at all. I swear, living with a welfare bum has really made me think hard about socialism. I mean, if all people were equally industrious socialism would be great. But then you get the lazy peices of shit that don't pull their weight and basically ruin it for everyone else. Man I gotta find a new roomie, damn you Amy for having to move out. Anyways, the day is a wasting, and I've got to get something done.
Praise be to the Divine
