WISDOM CHECK

(Originally posted to my Livejournal, CreamSodaAngel)

I have never, in my entire scholarly career, handed an assignment in late. EVER. Today I feel miserable. I have a sociology paper due at 430 today, but my course load week kicked my butt, and I thus, did not get said sociology paper done. *cries*

I made the decision at 1am this morning that I would give up my attempts to bullshit a paper on the sex tourism trade. I figured it would be better for me to take a late penalty and hand in a quality work, than hand in a piece of crap on time.

I just hope I made the right choice…

…but now I feel miserable. Because I am such a go getter when it comes to school. But then, I think my chances are better to get a good grade on this assignment if I take the extra few days and a late penalty, than handing one in at 430 today that most likely won’t even make the word count.

I started this semester out so well too. I was ontop of all my readings and assignments. I’m not sure what happened, but I just let the workload get the best of me and broke down crying last night. Thus what prompted the decision to turn in the paper late.

If I want to even THINK about getting into graduate school, I really need to learn how to keep up with things. This is only the second time that I’ve broken down about school work, so you know it got pretty bad. But still, the guilt of handing something in late is gonna eat me up inside until Monday.

Life sucks right now… I want a hug…

Was really tired today. Not entirely sure, but I’m going to blame it on all the work on my papers all week. Soooo sleepy.

Rawr.

Have been seriously debating going to graduate school once I’ve gotten my Bachelor’s. I’m not sure if I mentioned that before, but I have been. I realise I’m probably not the best candidate for it, but it’s something that I would really like to do. I will have to ponder it. Not entirely sure where I’ll go to do it, but I have been throwing a few places around in my head. I still have a year left of undergraduate school, will have to work on getting references from some professors. I really like my Evaluating Research in Communication class professor. I hope she’s teaching another course in the Fall so I can take it, then possibly get her as a reference. I won’t say I’m not kicking myself for not ever going to a professors office hours… Oh well.

I have a year to put my head to the grind stone and rock my undergraduate career to make myself a very good prospect for graduate school.

Work work work!!

You know you’re from the Lower Mainland when..
…the right hand lane on the highway moves faster than the left one.
…the Port Mann Bridge should be called the Port Mann Parking lot.

I really hate traffic, it needs to go away.

Right now I’m sitting on the comfy couches in the Department of Communication (woo!) on my laptop. Great wireless connection here, which I love, nice and bright, despite the amount of clouds outside, and right close to my tutorial at 130 and near the B lot parking, where my car is. YAY.

I’m kinda grumpy, because I was looking up the volunteer opportunities that I’d like to do next year, and so far the orientation for these positions takes place in July and August, when I’m going to be on the opposite corner of the continent. Makes me sad. Oh wells. I’ve been debating when I get back from FLA to start applying to various different places, looking for jobs that will reflect on my major. I’m curious if there might be any PhD students looking to hire undergrads for help in research, because I think it would be a lot of fun. Either that, or I’m going to try to apply for an airline, or something else interesting. I was gonna ask my Dad and see if his office is hiring any clerical people (I dunno). I don’t mind my job, Safeway is a lot of fun most of the time, but I feel like I need a job that will reflect really nicely on my resume (not that spending 5 years at one company doesn’t look bad, so many people jump from job to job, which looks horrible to possible employers).

… These are my ramblings right now. I’m bored. And MSN isn’t working :'(

My mouth hurts…

Grrr I hate macs!! They are slow, and annoying, and grrrr. (that being said, i hope the one I’m currently using doesn’t decide to blow up in my face. Because, you know, they hate me back). grumble.

The weekend is finally here again (well, will be once I’m done my next class). Wait no, no weekend for Andrea. She has to work tomorrow and sunday, and she signed up to help for our charity fundariaser, w hich means I have to get up earlier tomorrow to go into work before my shift for the volunteering things and…

… as you can see, I still haven’t quite regained my coherancy. Which is surprise, because despite my lack of coherancy isn’t evident in the paper that I was working on late last night (and had to wait 1/2 hour for my printer to install on my dad’s laptop… grumble…). Although i did find out that I didn’t do enough analysis, but hopefully I made up for that… hopefully. If not, then I’ll just have to rock it on my focus group pilot study (shrugs).

Who has a Rascal Flatts tshirt? I do I do!!!

Shield your eyes though, I look like poop.

Muahahahaha. My coworker friend Paul who got to go to their concert stopped in at work on Saturday and I gave him money, and he got it for me. Woo! I love it 😀

In other news, yesterday I wandered off to the lake for a bit of R&R. Twas very very nice. Got lots of pretty photos, including this beauty.

I get to see that view all the time. Looking from the intersection of 88th and Walnut Grove Drive. I see those mountains everytime I look out my bedroom window 🙂

I go to school up there!!!

Reflection pond at school. Very pretty. Hard to believe people were ice skating on that 2 months ago.

That’s all, I’m tired now.

Worst. Week. Ever!

I just spent the past 4 days, for 12 hours each day, working on my letter of intent for a research project! The letter itself only too me 45 minutes to write, the appendices and tables took me all the rest of the time!! 20 pages of stuff!! Gragiadjdigajg.

And to top that off, I had a Sociology paper due today as well, that I didn’t get time to work on, so last time and all day today I was scrambling to write the darn thing. Got it done, but 250 words too short and horrible. Oh well.

On a happier note, my countdown is at 99 days now! Double digits! (if anyone was wondering, the numbers that are in the subject line of posts recently have been my countdown to disney!). WoooO!

… I”m just gonna crawl into a ball and cry now….
