*cough*
And she makes her return several weeks later.
As always, I have excuses (Yay! Excuses! ^_~) But I’ll make sure this is a real entry.
So, during the last weeks of November, not only was I busy catching up on all that work that I’d missed during my Toronto time, I was also in the middle of writing a giant 4000-word essay (You may have heard me refer to it as the EE of DOOOM!) *cough* Well, in any case, it became quite important for me to -ah- finish this essay, so well…. finish it I did. So while everyone was rushing last-minute to finish it, I got a few days of well-deserved rest. 😀 That was fun.
Binding the thing, however, was a completely different matter. We were at Kinko’s at 10 in the morning… and didn’t get out until 12:30. AND we had to come back and pick it up at 8:00 since they were “swamped with orders.” Right. I think they were just bitter that a bunch of high school students strolled in and had absolutely NO idea what they doing. The finished product was fine, with the exception of an omitted word on the first page (!!).
Luckily I didn’t have any group projects which required me to stay for for inordinate amounts of time >.O Stayed up until 1 some night, doing some homework…. but I can’t remember what it was.
But it hasn’t been all work… nononono. Heck, last weekend was hectic enough without work, because of EE binding and a subsequent trip to the university bookstore (which was huge and oh-so-interesting!). Then, on Sunday, we went to a sporting event followed by a trip through Chinatown for as I continue on my search for Japanese CDs. Then we had ice cream. 😀 Blueberry cheesecake flavoured! So good it’s bad. xD
And tomorrow I’m off school and will be heading off somewhere else in pursuit of my Japanese CDs. YAY!
Our Amnesty International club (in conjunction with the UNICEF and Landmines Awareness club) held a human rights day on Wednesday. It’s wasn’t too bad… although, as my colleague commented, “They were just there for the tattoos. They still have no idea what Amnesty really is.”
Oh well. It was still fun. And I got to spray people with a water bottle 😀
OH!! I got first prize (not GRAND prize, mind you) in an essay contest and I have received an mp3 player 😀 Yay! Although it came with the ugliest headphones in the entire world. But it came with batteries, which is a good thing. And it has 64 MB of memory, which isn’t too shabby either. And all for an essay I wrote in about two hours. xD
Hopefully I’ll get a chance to post some more as holidays approach. 😀 Jessica, dahling, I *have* received your email, I just haven’t had a chance to reply to it yet!
