there's no place like this where I've been...

Well, I certainly haven't gotten as much done as I had hoped for reading week, but I really can't blame it on anything except for laziness. If Steve and Rach were home, I would have been distracted by them instead of the Olympics and gotten as equally little homework done.

That being said, hope those two have had--and will continue to have--a great time on their respective trips (Panorama in B.C.; Fort Myers/Eastern U.S.). I really wish I could afford to let loose on a trip, but that was what Toronto this past summer was supposed to be for me. I'd also like to give a shout out to Erin...she is the main reason I log into blogger so much (and do not blog myself)...I always enjoy waiting for her next blog entry. It sounds like she is having a hoot in Koper. It's too bad her current fellow countrymen have been unlucky so far at this year's Oly games (because I would know, as I have watched more of the games than I'd really like to admit---come on, curling? what's wrong with you, Nicole?!?!?)

I really do have to get cracking on homework, because I have no idea when ma peeps will be back in town and I have to allow for more distraction and thus less-getting-homework-done time. I work tomorrow and Friday evening, as well as Sat/Sun daytime shifts...Disney on Ice and their very strict exchange policies *shakes fist*. Luckily, my weekend shifts are in the South Box Office which is usually less busy, which allow for more homeworky time. In addition to the 4+ chapters I have left to read (since Friday have read: 1¾ chapters...boo), I have a take-home midterm due Thursday and a regular midterm ON Thursday that I have yet to begin preparing for. And then I have another midterm the following week.

I actually started to look more seriously at the job situation yesterday and whaddya know, I find like, 3 jobs. total. Not a good-looking situation at the mo, but I'll just have to make a point to look every week or so and actually put in an application instead of just bookmarking the job postings. Because, I need a job post-graduation.

So tomorrow will be filled with:
-Waking up on time, instead of an hour later than my alarm
-Not painting my nails or taking an extra-long shower or watching the Olympics
-Finishing more reading!
-Applying for ALL of the jobs on my bookmarks

And to persuade myself to go to sleep sooner than later I will end my night with a little accounting textbook reading...because my textbook would put the most caffeinated, awake person to sleep.

no time!

Midterms: done.

Everything else: incomplete.

I am so sick of school, I just want my b.comm and to get out of here! not because my classes are too difficult, but because I'm having a really hard time just getting everything done and work two jobs and keep up with all of my other obligations. I haven't even gotten my Hallowe'en costume yet!

Stuff on the horizon for this week:
-Buying/preparing my Hallowe'en costume
-Working on the BL--we want it out in the first two weeks of November
-Finishing my group's Consumer Behaviour project...it involved doing a photo shoot yesterday morning, while there was a wind warning and everything!
-Start marking for one of my jobs...It takes me so long to get started because my assignments take precedence
-Lenny Kravitz on Wednesday, The Watchmen/Waking Eyes on Thursday, and JET SET SATELLITE on Friday!
-Class: um...now.

it's all smoke and mirrors, roy.

I'm feeling like I want to update this page, but I can't tell if it's really me thinking this or if it's my mid-term studying talking.

ha.

All I do know is that the midterm-studying is telling me that I should get BACK to studying.

chairman, wow!

I am very proud of myself for coming to school today, since my second class was cancelled (we have a midterm tomorrow). On the other hand, I wish I didn't have to waste 2 hours in transportation today for a class that's 75 minutes.

Some concert announcements:

Queens of the Stone Age - the last time QOTSA was here, the show was quite disappointing. The convention centre is a horrible place for a concert, and the merch table ran out of beautiful hoodies before I could grab one! I hope to purchase tickets to this one but I don't have the presale password in my e-mail yet and I have to be heading to class.

Van Halen - with David Lee Roth! Which means they'll actually play "Hot For Teacher"? I won't be purchasing for this show, as I am not a huge fan, but it should be a good concert anyways...

time for class :(
