    I’m crazy. Really, I am. I’m not sure what I was thinking this morning, but I enrolled in a 5th class for next semester. Go me πŸ™‚ I couldn’t help it, it sounded so interesting!!! I’m taking Physics 190: Intro to Astronomy. It says it’s a class for non-majors, so I shouldn’t be too bad. I just hope I can remember my physics from 2 years ago in high school πŸ˜›

    My final course load is:
    ASC 101: Intro to Asia-Canada Studies
    CMNS 253: Information Technology
    CMNS 304: Communications in Everyday Life
    CMNS 372: The Publishing Process
    PHYS 190: Introduction to Astronomy

    But it should be fun.

    I hope…

    Not entirely sure where I left off, but here goes.

    Thursday night we all went out for dinner at the Marigold. Yummy. Then we went back to Auntie Mary’s where Jen, Kris, Braeden, and I played a round of Star Wars Monopoly. LOL. I kept getting confused with all the pieces because they aren’t like typical Monopoly, and they renamed the squares. I’d say Boardwalk, and the board would say Jedi Council. LOL. Went to bed and didn’t get much sleep because I was attacked by two assasin kitties. I guess the two cats usually sleep with Kristopher, but since I was sleeping in his bed I guess they figured they’d sleep with me. Of course every time I moved my legs, Hershey would pounce and claw at them (owwies). But they were cute and kept my feet warm.

    I woke up to the sound of purring too. Hershey jumped on the bed right by my face and demanded to be patted. But I wanted to sleep more, so I put him on the ground. A few minutes later, he was back on the bed again. After a few times of this happening he waited a few minutes, then went into stealth mode: He jumped on the night table really quietly, then crawled around above my head and snuggled between my back and the wall. After a few more tries to get him off the bed, I gave up and scratched his ears. Eventually I got out of bed.

    Then I drove Kris and Braeden to swimming lessons, and Jen and I bought them slushies. After that my parents came, and my Mom, Jen and I went and got groceries, and then the four of us drove up to Pine Dock to see Dan and Priscilla. Took about 3 1/2 hours, but it was better than when we did it two years ago (it was dark, foggy, and storming out on gravel, washboard roads. This time is was sunny, and the roads were nice).

    Saturday we all went out on a fishing boat for a few hours. It wouldn’t be a trip to Manitoba without a sunburn: the tops of my thighs got burned, I guess due to the way I was sitting. Oh well. We came back and had dinner, then went for a walk around Biscuit Harbour. Then we had a bonfire out on the breakwater with some other Northway people. It was fun.

    Today we got up and while we were deciding what to do, my brother calls and says he has spaces on his next flight out, so we get to go for a 10 minute plane ride in his Cessna to Bloodvane to drop off some other people. It was fun πŸ™‚

    Then we came back, and Priscilla has the dayoff, so we spend about 4 hours playing cards. Of course, with my horribly unlucky self I didn’t win. Oh well, it was still fun. Though I’m not too fond of a game we learned, called 7 Up Rummy. BOOOO. Oh well.

    I’m panicked now because I realised I left my binder that lists my readings and assignments at Grandma’s, and I have 2 assignments due on friday. I’m gonna have to try to get as much done without the reading listening, because we won’t be back in the ‘Peg until wednesday.

    Miss everyone, and will comment in journals once I get home and am not on crappy slow dial-up!!

    Hey guys! I made it safe and sound to Winnipeg. Mom and I flew out of YVR last night at 6:30. Getting there was a pain, because it was rush hour. Didn’t help my headache any. Now I remember why I love YXX so much better!!! We had an early dinner at the Milestones Palimino Bar that was near our gate. Great burgers! Then we hopped onto our flight, WestJet, and direct!! It was sooo nice. It was one of their new 737-700s with the leather seats and satellite TV.

    As we flew over Saskatchewan it started getting dark and the lights of the towns below came out. It was so gorgeous! Once we hit the Manitoba border I was asking my Mom to point out various towns. I spotted Brandon right away, and we could see my Uncle’s farm!!

    When we landed we landed heading North, so we came in over Charleswood! I recognized Wilkes Ave, and Grant Blvd, and Portage and Ness, plus you could tell where Assiniboine Forest, Assiniboine Park, and the Zoo. Good times. I took a video of the entire decent over the city. Unfortch I forgot my camera cable, so I won’t get to upload it until tomorrow.

    Got our car, and made it to Grandma’s safe and sound. Was soooo tired just from the past month and flying. All good. We got up this morning and ran some errands for Grandma, now we’re just waiting for my Aunt and cousins to get home as we’re going to go see them πŸ˜€

    Right now I’m surfing the web via a Safeway / Telus Prepaid Internet Card. Not bad actually. It’s dial up, but it’s fairly fast (faster than I was expecting!!). So far it’s only disconnected on me once, which isn’t bad. I got 16 hours for $20!!! o_o Not sure if I can use it all up though. We’ll see. Once we go up to Pine Dock to visit my brother, it will cost me more to access the net since it will be long distance. Oh well. πŸ™‚

    Until next time, ljland!!

    Updated my Profile. Pretty much the same info, but new look *shrug*. I was bored, what can I say. A few days ago I also changed my lj design. It’s from a photo I took when I was in Kelowna. Let me know what you think.

    Course planning has gone sucky. My reg is tomorrow, but the courses I wanted to take are full! It’s bull. How are you supposed to do your required courses, if you can’t get into them?? πŸ˜› OH well. I’m going to be at school more days than I had planned, but there’s no helping it unfortch.

    Oh, does ayone have a myspace account? Can you tell me what it is and what the benefits of having one? I was talking to someone from FedSpace today, and neither of us were sure if it is worth it to sign up. Any info welcome πŸ™‚

    One more work day and then I’m done until I get back from holidays. Yay me.

    Going to delete the usericons that I don’t use too much and perhaps upload some new ones. We’ll see how the winds blow. I may not delete them. We’ll see.

    Early work tomorrow. Bleeerg.

    For whatever reason, I’m all nerves today. I dunno, I feel like I could break out in a fit of embarrassed giggles. It’s somewhat unnerving. =s

    Well I am a genius. I am, really. LOL
    I went onto goSFU this morning to check to see if the classes I want to take are still available, so when my registration time comes, I wouldn’t be panicked looking for backup courses if I couldn’t get in. Smart right?

    Today is the first day of course registration. OF COURSE none of the classes are going to be full yet.

    Didn’t I tell you I was a genius?

    I like the fact that they can cut two hours off my shift at work, and I only lose an hour and a half of pay.

    It’s because when I work 8 1/2 hours I have to punch out for a 1/2 hour lunch. When I work 6 1/2 hours, I don’t have too. πŸ™‚ I’d rather not have the lunch, and just go home early. I get in trouble when I do that though :S Hee hee shhhh.

    We do have these new cookies at work that look like they’re from Yoshi’s Cookie. They’re awesome! I was hoping to take a pic of them, but I forgot my camera. They taste good too.

    In other news my muse had kicked me in the butt again, so you may see some things being cranked out from me. Provided I find time, and not be such a procrastination (remember, i still have school work that I”m procrastinating on LOL). But it’s funny. I’ll get hit by an idea at work, and I’ll stop and have to scribble it down before I keep working XD Such productivity I have (I am actually a really hard worker, and am done early most nights).

    So yes, that’s where I’m at. Oh, and one more thing. Going to see PotC tomorrow! XD
