  • Let it Rain *cough* Snow

    Well, the school year's pretty much over. I just have my anthro exam, and to write my sociology exam (online, so I can do it at home :)). I need to at least start sociology today since I have four 1-2 page essays to write for it. And it has to be in my own hand. Which makes sense, however, i far prefer being able to use quotes and references. However, I have a feeling that that is not the point of this exam. So I will trudge on and work on it.

    I need to phone work today and tell them that starting May 1st I'll be at camp. I'm kinda slightly excited. A wee bit nervous, but excited :) Twill be grand. And for those of you who might possibly miss me, I'll be home on weekends.

    We still have snow in the yard, so it feels weird knowing that my summer has started. That after a week I'll be done my first year of college. And I survived. Woot ^_^. I just hope that I can make it through five more years >_<. Seriously, why must it take longer to be a teacher than a nurse?? I have to get a BA in English or History (I'm thinking of doing a double major. Idiotic, I know). And then get a BA in Education so I can teach tomorrow's High Schoolers. Weird. I don't know where I'll end up with that, or even how long I'll be teaching. Enough to pay off whatever debt I'll incur, and if I'm married, save up to provide for children etc. I know that's waaaaaaaaaaaaaay down the road, so those are only loose plans. But I think all of you know that I just want to be a stay at home mom... Sometimes I wonder why i'm going to college. My nana and Papa say that it's to find myself a husband o.O. Honestly, when I do date (if ever), I want to date someone who's my best friend. The whole thing with the movies where you ask whomever to go out, then you find out about them just doesn't sit well. I don't see how people can do that. You'd have to go through a lot of significant others till you find someone remotely close to who you're looking for. Not fun if you ask me. My standards are just slightly high in that regard also. But I ramble.

    I'm sitting with my cat beside me warming my leg. He always manages to make me smile.. well almost always. Not at four am when he wants outside, and I'd rather be sleeping. But if I'm having a bad day I'll just take him in my arms and hug him and warm fuzzies will ensue. And he's always sleeping on my bed. It's a nice comfort if you ask me. Even though he's balled up, tis nice to know that he's lying there in case I need him. Haha. He's amazing.

    Anyway, i should probably think about going downstairs for breakfast, it is already 9:00 o.O I swore that I just woke up.. my eyes still feel crusty and such. But my stomach is telling me that now is a good time to go eat. So I think I shall bid thee audieu.

    Buona giornata ^_^

    Marina's blogging again :o

    I swear I go through these spurts where I all but ignore this electronic world of blogs.  However, if the truth be told, I do prefer writing in my physical journal.  I can say anything I want there.  Even draw things ^_^.  And in the end, I have a pretty row of journals on my bookshelf.  I've started my fourth now.  Well, I started it a couple weeks ago, but I've kinda forgotten it for the past week or so :(  There just isn't much I've wanted to write about.

    So funny story.  I skipped class on Monday.  And in my Anthro class, my teacher comes and SEES me.  And usually profs just ignore their students (it helps that they generally don't know your name XD).  Or they don't care if you skip (you are paying for it after all).  However, she comes up to me and asks why I wasn't in class o.O.  I think I swallowed my tongue.  I was honestly so surprised to see her talk to me.  She has this rule where you're not to speak to her in the hall.  You can smile and nod and ask to see her in her office, but asking questions is taboo.  However, she can speak to you.  (I just love authority XD).  Anyway, she asked why I wasn't in class.  And I think I mumbled something about being late.  My brain was running in a million directions at once and I didn't really know what to say.  I was so afraid she'd expel me or something. Haha.  (I also have this great fear of authority XD).  She told me to always come to class--no matter how late I am (which makes no sense since each class is 50 min long).  And went off on her way.  Laura said she was like Satan since she kept appearing out of no where XD.  She's this little old lady with mussed up grey hair that almost goes down to her shoulders.  And her voice wobbles and shakes.  Probably due to smoking for many years.  Anyway, it's considered general knowledge that she's pretty crazy, sometimes insane.  However, she's really smart.  They do say that there is that balance between ingeniousness and insanity.  Who knows if she's crossed it?  Anyway, I know that I shall never every skip another class of hers--even if I need to.  I guess it's a good thing that I make a point of attending all my classes (on a general basis).

    Oh yeah, and last night I had a dream where I was reading someone's Xanga.  And there was a link to a second Xanga of the same person and it had a list of usernames from the boards.  Or at least their Xanga names.  Missina's was on the top.  Dunkin's was in the middle.  And apparently Jeff had one-his was last, and of course it had to do with toes XD.  Anyway, I had to put my laptop on the floor (since i was studying on my bed) because some guy from church came into my room.  He gave me some scripts for a play that our drama group was thinking of putting on.  Something to do with Jay's "The Hunger"/"The Blessed"  Anyway, said person was going on and on about this theater sort of room he has in his house (and he really does have one..).  Anyway, it was really awkward having him in my room.  And then this older gentleman came into my room with my clarinet.  He was fixing it for me, and I needed to get a reed so that he could continue working on it.  But I didn't know when I'd next get to town.  And I asked if he'd replaced the cork that had fallen off.  He said that he couldn't because he needed the reed.  Then my alarm went off and woke me up...

    Between just you and me

    So I've been bored today.  No one seems to be on... or my MSN is broken.  I wouldn't be surprised.  Good thing I still have AIM and gTalk :rolleyes:.

    I most definitely skipped two classes today.  For the first time, I knowingly skipped.  And all because I'm a procrastinator.  Sad, but true.  It probably didn't help that I was on MSN talking to someone till 1am instead of working on my two essays.  But they're done now.  So yay.

    Tis interesting how my mood changes so seemingly fast.  Just earlier I was in a grand, laughing happy mood.  Now, I'm quiet and contemplative.  Tis great fun.

    However, tonight/tomorrow I plan on watching the Prestige.  I'm pretty stoked.  I wanted to watch it when I was in Italy.  But I didn't live close to a cinema.  Anyway, soon I shall watch it and be happy XD.  If only for a bit ;)  Also, I get to watch it in English ^_^  I must admit, it's pretty poor sport to watch something when you've only been in the country for a couple months-thus effectively having difficulty learning a language you had never studied before leaving Canada.

    I think that I shall go read a book.  I have a headache (probably due to having not worn my glasses for the past few hours), and the computer has become tiresome.

    So enjoy my blog dern it XD

    God Bless,

  • Tis the Season


    Merry Christmas everyone!

    And this year I actually have snow ^_^.  Which is beyond amazing.

    My Uncle came down this year, and tomorrow we will go out and go Snowmobiling ^_^.  I'm insanely tired because even though I kept saying I'd get off the computer, I never ended up getting off till 1230 >_<.  And of course I have younger brothers who want to open their gifts asap.  So I was woken up less than seven hours later.  Haha.  The nap I had had later didn't help much I'm afraid.

    I'm currently watching HP5 on my laptop :).   All the while eating clodhoppers and drinking milk ^_^.

    Last night's service was amazing.  And guess what guys.  I.  Marina.  Dressed like a girl :o.  I know I know.  Tis a shock.  I even wore God awful heals.  BUT.  I looked pretty ^_^. 

    Anyway, I wanted to wish you all a very merry and more importantly, a very blessed Christmas.

    God Bless,
    Marina

    My head hurts :(  And I can't breathe.  And I slept walked last night.  And my back is killing me because I filled a bunch of sand bags.

    Yes.  I'm in a grumpy annoyed mood.  I didn't sleep well, I'm tired.  And I hate being sick. <_<

    But hey, it all works I suppose.  I can't be in a good mood *all* the time.

    Anyway. I'll stop writing before you all think that I'm really this horrid person XD.  Haha.  I swear, I'm not always like this...

    God Bless,
