well, maybe the anxiety i went through had some advantages. its receded a lot, besides some paranoias about locked doors, but now i just cant seem to focus. last semester i worked so hard, this semester, meh. not so much. and there is sooo much work to do.
however, it has been the days of awesomeness. i have been having a fabulous week. my mother found us a cute kitchen table, so we will finally have some kitchen furniture, its been pretty bare.
it was supposed to be the "most depressing day of the year" a couple days ago, but i have been in a very pleasant mood.
my BIGGEST news, to all who care.. i applied through trent university for a study abroad program and i have been granted an interview, which will take place next week! i found out yesterday and i was screaming i was so excited.
i would live in quito, i believe, for the first few months and take courses on the Quichua language and culture, andean economy, culture and society and then community development. the community development would examine theory and practice of comm.dev. which would be followed by a 10 week field placement, which i would decide for myself what i wanted to do. i thought about alternative governing practices in rural communities, but im not sure.
either way, im still not sure if i will get it anyways, because you need 8 courses with a minimum of B- in all courses, i will only have 7 at the end of the year, since two of my four classes at dal were c's (one c and one c+). but these marks did not show up when i sent my unb transcript and they have requested them, i have to plead to let them allow me to take a summer course so i can go, or else for them to make an exception. i will be quite upset if i miss out on this because i was one grade off. ill be PISSED!
but at least i have a chance to redeem myself during an interview. can you imagine? i would get to live in ecuador for 8 freakin months! but i dont want to get my hopes up.
im going to halifax next weekend, i am pretty pumped. there seems to be many shows taking place, so i will make up for this live-music-deprevation that i experience in fredericton.
and then antigonish the week after that, on the 9th to visit my grandmother.
i cant believe ill be 22 next week. ah, getting so old.
so, i bought a wedding dress over christmas break, i have wanted to model it on here, but i thought maybe that would be inappropriate. francs already seen it, he was there when i bought it. do you think its bad luck to wear it around too much? ive only put it on twice since. when he wasnt home. its really pretty though. i saw it and i stopped in my tracks. it was funny, because i knew immediately, and i have never thought that before, i was just like, "thats it. that is my wedding dress." i wouldnt tell franc at first, because i thought he would think it was silly and i tried to leave, but i couldnt tear myself from that dress. so i tried it on and was convinced it would be too small or not fit right. but it fit perfectly, just the teeniest bit big because my boobs are just a teeny bit too small haha. but that can be fixed by a simple hook. it is just the most gorgeous dress i have ever seen in my life. it goes down to my calves with a flowy skirt, its a peachy-beige color, all lace. sleeves about down to my elbow but a wide neck. does it sound pretty? my description definitely doesnt give it justice, but it is the most beautiful dress that i have ever seen or put on. now i just need to have a wedding! haha, thats a joke. i have no interest in getting married in the near-future, but i will have to get married at least while the dress still fits.
any takers?
