Update on my Life

Because that's why you read this thing, right? No? Ohhh. :-(

1. I have a parking pass reserved for next year and I'm registered in all but two of my classess. For some reason, Beartracks won't let me register in 455 and 456, and I want to take those, even if I don't have to. Or, at least, I want to take 456, because I think it would be neat to take a Theory class from Bashaw. In any case, I have to go beg Donna to let me in.

2. There is one week left in my APT, but it's not looking like it's going to be any easier than the previous weeks. Though tomorrow is a PD Day. This time next week, I will be in bed, so very asleep.

3. I'm applying to work in the wind section of St. John's. They say they're looking for someone permanent, and I certainly can't guarantee them that, but I'm applying anyway. It would be a neat place to work, I think.

4. ...There's got to be something else to my life. Uh, my mom's in Winnipeg for my grandmother's birthday, so I've been walking the dog a lot. We don't have grass yet at my new place, so we have to walk the dog, rather than just letting him out, which would get him all muddy. So, yeah, he walks fast, sniffs at many things, and pees on most of what he sniffs. It's... yeah.

5. I am greatly looking forward to going back to school as a student. And I am greatly looking forward to people coming to Edmonton, either briefly (Jo, Eric, Kaitlyn), or possibly for the summer (Doug, Courtney, Sean). Oh, hey, speaking of Kaitlyn, has anybody gotten any sign from her lately that she's so much as alive? I haven't gotten a response from e-mail or Facebook...

More Stupid Than Chelsea

Shamelessly stolen from Chelsea Mandrusiak's Facebook page. My score is higher than hers, though not that impressive. Some of these things are pretty odd, though, so I don't feel too bad. ^_^ A few of them have my comments in brackets--I couldn't help myself. :-)

Oh, and before I go, here's Janita's basic math of the day:

My Weekend

Yesterday: Do nothing. Go for dinner at Bistro Praha with Peter. Enter and find my dad and my brother, who have just had their salads. Join them. Dad buys. ^_^

Today: Do nothing. Meet people at Numchok Wilai at 7pm for Thai food. Hope people show up. Also hope the restaurant is actually open, given that it's a holiday weekend. ^_^

Tomorrow: Do nothing. Have Easter dinner at my house. Hope there isn't too much of a mess made. Probably lose at cards and/or Trivial Pursuit. ^_^

Monday: Do nothing. Have Easter dinner at Peter's house. Enjoy the fact that our families are cool with scheduling these dinners around eachother. Hopefully finally give Nora the picture of the kind of harp one of my students wants to buy that I've had for about four weeks. ^_^

Success!

Okay, so I was able to import my blog to FaceBook at Peter's house. For some reason, it worked here, but not on my parents' computer at home. It only imported the postes from 2007, as far as I can tell, but oh, well. Now I can post to this site and not feel that I'm neglecting the FaceBook side of things. Although, I must admit, the status thing is pretty neat. ^_^

I Am Weak

Ok, so I've given in to the pressure and gotten myself a FaceBook account. It is more complicated than I thought it would be. I treid to import this blog, but it wouldn't work. Do I have to import individual posts only? And I need to get a decent picture of myself to put up. One that doesn't include a kid few of my friends know of. (For the record, she's my cousion's daughter, her name is Adrianna and she just turned 10, though that picture was taken about 4 years ago. Good lord, that long already...)

In other news, my mentor teacher left for Cuba this morning. I am jealous. Though I'm not jealous of the fact that he has 40 students to deal with on the trip. The choir teacher and a couple of parent chaperones went, too, and their trips were free for some reason, but mine would not have been, so I had to stay here. :-( I also had to cacel rehearsal after school today because half of the people who are still in the country decided they didn't need to show up because rehearsal was cancelled, right? *sigh*

Debbie, my mom's Ottawa counterpart, was staying with us earlier this week, and now David, the current Ottawa intern, is staying with us. He leaves tomorrow morning, but we're going out to dinner tonight. I have no idea why either of them have been in town. There was a board meeting, but that's about it. Oh, well. I quite like Debbie, and David's nice, too.

Not much else has been going on lately. I feel like seeing people this weekend. I think I'll send out an e-mail after this asking if anybody wants Thai food or wings or chips and GameCube. Mmm, GameCube. ^_^

Futonia!

We must make haste to the land of Funtonia! There lies the sepulchur of viewing! There is the family of yellow beings and their hijinks to be enjoyed! Should that not entice, there is the special Rice Krispie mansion competition to delight the palate! If your hunger is such that it cannot be sated by mere Krispies, there is the octagon on the spike that, rather than stop, means gogogogogogo! But whatever your ocular bent, the Morpheal box on the podium in Futonia will lead you to both happiness and a prompt sense of resolution and closure.
