So if I haven't said so before, I *love* my popular culture course- I don't know how much use it will be in getting a job, but I'm enjoying the class so I don't care and I'm glad I took it. This week we discussed the "graphic novel"medium including a discussion on the readings, an article in our course book and Blankets. Not a bad work- not the ( Read more... )

Gah: planned to get a lot of work done yesterday and ended up with zip, just could _not_ focus at all, finally not even bothering to try after 4:00 pm. I did a little bit this morning though, and might work a little bit more tonight: if nothing else I have enough that I should be able to finish & pass in this week's assignments on time, and if I ( Read more... )

Well, the academic anxiety is back. Although most of my courses look pretty interesting, I’ve already got a long list of assignments that won’t be letting up any time soon. This is hardly unexpected, and I know where I survived last semester I can do it again, but still, in the back of my mind I can’t help but think my vacation really wasn’t long ( Read more... )

First off, my apologies for not commenting on those of you with journals on my friend list. For the record, I have been reading it all, even if I haven’t always the energy or a steady enough Internet connection to reply ( Read more... )

Belated Happy Victoria Day! Heh, for those non-Canuckleheads, that was an official holiday yesterday. For most it's nothing really special, but I always get a kick out of it for obvious reasons ( Read more... )

So I picked up a copy of Rurouni Kenshin, volume 3 yesterday, (go Megumi!) and on a whim decided to look up some info on Kawakami Gensai, the Hitokiri Kenshin was loosely based on. Eyebrows slightly raised when I came across this site and others, which state Kawakami's claim to fame. Apparently the guy is "famous for felling the great idealist ( Read more... )

I MADE IT!! Yahoooooooooo! Yep, it took a heckofalotta work, but with mostly B+'s, I managed a really good average. Best part: A- on my Thesis! **jumps around** Okay, so it still wasn't an "A", but definitely not a bad mark, and as of yesterday, I am no longer a Canadian undergraduate student. I am now a graduate of Mount Allison University, with ( Read more... )

Finished my last exam yesterday afternoon. Went pretty well actually- I like Dr. Naylor; she's so sweet. Mostly though, I'm just glad to get everything done. I'm done, I'm done, I'm DONE!! **jumps around in joy** No more papers, no more studying, no more THESIS! I passed in the final, bound copy today... oh man did it ever feel good to get that in ( Read more... )
