Finally, an Update!
Oh loyal followers, sorry about the delay. This semester is shaping up to be a bit busier than I had first expected! I might even do another update later to expand on some thoughts from this one.
Okay so first things first. The main cause of my delay was that for the first two or three weeks of January, I didn't feel very well. And then I just got behind and didn't feel updating. I had a really bad cold for most of December. Then all my symptoms miraculously went away but I was left feeling really lightheaded and woozy 100% of the time. I guess I wasn't getting enough oxygen. I was just considering visiting a doctor when a Saturday or two ago, Tony made me lie down for a day and not do anything. That did the trick! Now I am fully recovered!
I love how I made all sorts of notes about things to include and now they are SUCH old news. Okay, so lets see. My life is pretty boring aside from classes. Well, I had a job interview! It was for an "interviewing" position. I'd go around with a cameraman and talk to students for surveys and things. Apparently there was only one other applicant. And also apparently I am a total loser because it's been like two weeks and I haven't heard back from them! I think I made a bad impression at the interview as I was nervous and sick and they were looking for someone enthusiastic and full of energy, lol. Too bad too because I wrote a kickass cover letter. Anyway, it was only for $40 a week so it doesn't really matter.
In other news, I have been lifting weights! Yes, you heard me! Weights! I can now bench almost 50% of my body weight! And Tony's got me drinking protein shakes too. I need to start doing some other sort of stuff though. I do some curls and I was doing leg stuff but then I got busy or something and haven't lately. Anyway, we're getting all buff here.
I got a rejection letter from dentistry the other day. I knew I was going to get it. What bugs me though, is that last year I got it in May. That means I was the first to get cut! It's just not a happy feeling. However, I applied to the hygiene program tonight! I don't think I should have any trouble getting in but I've been encouraged by a friend to meet with someone from hygiene so I think I shall set up an appt. That stuff makes me nervous but I'll just have to suck it up.
I spent a lot of this past weekend listening to Maine hockey games. I kind of miss it. They aren't so hot this year and got crushed 7-2 at home on Friday against #1 BU, and then came back and tied 2-2 on Saturday. That was pretty cool. Everyone is so negative about them this year. It's not going to get better, since the coach is problem numero uno, but I take pleasure in small victories.
Speaking of hockey, Tony and I have the week after next off. We aren't going home because Tony has too much to study and I don't want to go alone. But I think I will get tickets for a Moosehead game. That is the junior hockey team here. Tickets are $15 for students! We also will take some time to explore the city. We haven't seen most of it!
This past Friday, Beth and John and their puppy came over. One of the best behaved dogs I've ever had the pleasure of hanging out with! We had a good time. Got pizza, had drinks, etc etc. We don't relax with friends very often so it was really great. I think they were probably here until about 3 am.
Didn't celebrate V-Day because Tony has two tests Monday and a paper due later in the week. So we are celebrating on Saturday (which is also vacation). I am going to take him out to a nice dinner at Il Mercado, an Italian restaurant. He said he'd buy me whatever I wanted! So we're going to go shopping for motorcycle apparel! I have a nice helmet but I need a leather jacket that fits (mine is second hand and uncomfortable), gloves and boots. I'm excited.
I love Brent Spiner and mom told me that him and Armin Shimmerman (sp) were going to be on an episode of Leverage that Jonathan Frakes was directing. Well, I had never heard of this show before. I watched it online thought and OMG, it's awesome! I seriously recommend it to anybody who likes anything! lol. Really, I liked it that much. It's about a little band of criminals that do good deeds. Kind of a robin hood mentality. I only saw that one episode and tried to watch the first one tonight and the website I got it off of is gone. And the other one I found won't let me watch it because I'm in Canada, lol. I guess I'll have to wait until season 1 comes out on dvd. Anyway, good writing and acting and there was drama and comedy.
Okay, so I've just written a lot and haven't even gotten to my classes yet! So I think I will save that. There will probably be a heavy political agenda accompanying, lol. I shouldn't say that actually. It's not an agenda, just my personal thoughts. I love that my classes really let me think about stuff. And I've been thinking a lot. So I shall save that! Until then. . .
