Week 4

Has it really been 3 weeks since I wrote last? It seems like time is doing a crazy warp-dance. That's what happens when I get too busy, I start bustin' out the moves.

Lately though, I've just been bustin' out the papers! I had my first assignment due this week and I've got another due this coming Thursday. Also I have a field trip tomorrow through Sunday night, then an intensive class from 9-5 from Monday through Thursday next week. I also have my normal classes from 6-9 after my intensive class. Did I mention that intensive class is in law? Any subject that TV has turned into a soap/drama/comedy (to some people they're all the same) is a subject I don't want to study. If I take this law class, will I turn into the Good Wife? If I had studied medicine, would I have to be a hussy like Meredith Grey? If I studied forensics... ew, I'd never study forensics. I can't even handle an overripe cantaloupe, let alone a bloated stiff. ANYWAY, I'm going to be one sad little pile of goo by the time Good Friday rolls around. Come to think of it, Good Friday won't begin to do April 2nd any justice whatsoever. No, I think FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC Friday is more appropriate. Surviving next week might be the most challenging thing I've done in quite a while. Yes, that includes the "Let's Try!" 44km trudge. I think it even tops doing taxes.

You know what else will be great about next week being over? How much chocolate is going to be on sale after Easter! YES!! It's a bit different the way Easter works here- everyone buys everyone else a big chocolate Easter Egg. I think the Easter Egg replaces the Easter basket. They still do egg hunts though. Interesting. They have those express-tickets-to-diabetes, also known as Cadbury Creme Eggs, here as well. Excellent.

So, tomorrow is a big day- I'm heading up to Cowan for a GIS field trip. We're taking readings that feed into our final project, so it's pretty important that I show up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. I'll try and take some photos and things, but we'll see how it goes.

Assuming I survive next week, talk to you later!!
