Whoops

It's been a month since I've written in this blog. Whoops, indeed.

So what's new? I'm going home in 3 days! So excited. I can't wait to do nothing, work, and see family and friends. It'll be a good time, despite missing the people I know here. Then again, I will be back in under 3 weeks.

I won't get to see the two little brats when I go home. The family flew to Taiwan two days ago and will be there for a month. Meaning, I won't see them until I go home at the end of April/beginning of May. I was actually looking forward to seeing them, but this their first international trip and I'm sure they'll have a great time with the other side of the family.

I haven't been in residence for the past week and a half. I've been staying at a friend's house. I don't like residence as much anymore. Partly because the air made me more sick than I was (I'm recovering and I'm almost better. Just need to get the phlegm out of my throat.). Partly because I like staying at the friend's house. It's definitely more fun than residence.

I've been to the theatre more times than I've ever been in a year before. Yup. I watched Australia on Thursday (Dec 11) and Punisher: War Zone on Sunday (Dec 14). Australia was very long and epic. Punisher was a pure killfest and very different from the first Punisher movie. Both quite good. I enjoyed them. Before that, I watched Quantum of Solace on Nov 15, after the Moncton trip. Also a pretty good movie.

I had two exams so far - Accounting and E-commerce. I think I did fine in Accounting, but I think I failed E-commerce. I really hope I don't. I really don't want to take that course again. I wrote my online exam for Resorts this morning. I read the textbook for it and I completely wasted my time. I should've just done the online exam because I bullshitted through it anyway. Argh. Tomorrow I have Microeconomics, which I've studied over a few days and need to finish off studying tonight or tomorrow morning. I think I should be doing ok in that course. Wednesday, my last exam is on Statistics. I'm doing well in that course. I just need to review it and hope I remember how to use the formulas in the right places. Things are looking up. Sort of.

Speaking of school, I got reamed by one of my friends at school a while ago for being insensitive to her way of living/schooling. She can't live with herself if she got anything lower than a B, so that she can prove to herself that she can do it, get an amazing GPA, and get on the Dean's List. I completely understand that. Those are great goals and she works hard to achieve them. But I just don't agree with living your life by numbers. There's so much more to life than that. Apparently, my opinion is only good for me, and shouldn't be heard by others. Really, if she wants to do things that way, that's her choice. She's very determined and focused. She'll do well in life. (I don't mean that in a condescending way. I truly think she will do well in life.)

Another thing about school. Is it bad that I don't really care about school? To be honest, when I decided to go back to school, I hadn't cared much about it either. It was something to do to pass the time, to get me from point A to point A-and-a-half, to say I went to university. Like I said, there's more to life than school and grades. I've never had any real ambition in life either. It's not that I'm stupid. I'm definitely not. I just don't care.
