Up to date.
I tried to post an entry last week ... but a document that was supposed open in RAMSS opened here and erased it. Stupid French teacher! Learn how to target your documents!
Nothing too exciting has happened lately. I got my J-Skool award on Monday night and that was very, very boring. Fall-asleep boring. It started at 6 p.m. and we didn't get out until amost 9. I'm pretty sure over 60 awards were handed out, and the profs and department heads liked to drone on and on and pretend they are comedians (ahem, Don Gibb). When I got the letter telling me about the award, Adrian Wang, the journalism secretary, told me that since one person from each News Reporting class was chosen, we'd be sharing the prize money leaving us each $60. So I was kind of disappointed. But then in the programme for the evening it said the five of us were splittling $1500, which is $300 each. Apparently a cheque is coming in the mail so I shall have to wait and see.
I was kind of hoping Shelley would be there, but her and her's husband's retirement thing was the night before and I forgot to go. Her husband was there, though, handing out some awards. Man that guy is old. Each winner had to say something, another reason why the ceremony dragged on and on, so I just thanked Shelley. Cuz she rocks. I'm sad she's retired and that I won't have her for copy editing if I end up in the print stream.
This week two people were taken into custody at work for shoplifting. One was a crackhead with a knife who has warrants in almost every province but Ontario, and yesterday a little tiny semi-young mom was tackled down by our Loss Prevention guy for taking a lambswool sweater right out the door. Very exciting!
I'm trying to talk to Jess on MSN but she keeps disappearing because her Internet is fucked. Where did she go?
I have class in about 20 minutes. I'm presenting. Well, it's not really a presentation. It's more that my group has to lead discussion about a text. I really wanted to skip this class today to finish my history essay that was due on Monday, but that's a no-go. So far I have 600 out of 2000-2500 words. I'll never finish. And it's 2% taken off per day. Not too bad, but I don't want to let it go too long. I also have to come up with three feature ideas for class tomorrow, one of which I will be researching and interviewing for and writing until April. Knowing me I'll probably end up with the least fun one of the three and be completely fucked.
My goal for next week is to go to all my classes. I don't think I have anything due next week so hopefully that will be easier than it usually is. Haha. I'm an awesome student.
P.S. I'm seeing Borat on Thursday! I don't know if I should be horrified or excited. Alyssa, are you working on Thursday? Cuz we're going to Varsity. Not VIP, though, just the regular ones.
