A Long Time Coming
Doing the shoe-game from an admin position this year was awsome.
I learned a lot about myself, about teaching, about where i've come in commerce, and where i came from. I can look back and see that I learned a LOT.
In terms of actual learnign in class however this semester, i learned Squat.
I can remmeber that i downloaded A LOT of movies, a LOT of music, and basically checked email etc etc etc.
So, now i sit here with 2 take home exams, and 3 major term finals. In 10 days.
That's all that is between me and norway really.
Except that I really hoenstly must learn 1 ENTIRE course,
I must read the readings for 2 ENTIRE courses --> ACK!
I must also learn to apply and make sick ass notes for my Law class which im doing poorly in.
And then there is the most random class ever, which i learned a lot in, but MAN O MAN do i hate research papers.
So thats what im up to, I promised Dave a blog, but i owe you guys a whole lot more.
Lots of family trauma on the kingston front.
A little drama on the markham front.
And a GREAT conversation with stew, as part of one of my leadership projects.
I also made a concious effort to stay in touch with Mike chien this semester.
went to his cell group stuff like 3 times this semester. Tongith being a gift-exchange and cookie bakeing and apples to apples night of fun.
I feel as if i can really TRULY talk to seven people in my life now. honestly
Andy (tho its sometimes hard because he is so frikken horny)
Stew (i still look up to him)
Rob (It's interesting how our friendship rollercoasters, lets say this is an "up")
Dave (Never been closer, tho id like to see whats going on in Guelph first hand :P )
Cameron ( Truly a guy i can't understand, but relate to immensly)
Bryan ( A rich kid, but a good one)
Alex ( Helps me chill out)
So you all are who im leaving as i go to Norway and hopefully "find myself".
The girl thing prolly won't work out, but i shot myself in the foot anyways.
I didn't just procrastinate this semester, I truly just didn't work hard at all, I thought i did, but i really don't think i did. I'm pretty sure i can "once again" pull these exams off, but its not going to be pretty, and it's not going to be much fun and it's not going to be a good result, just a fair one.
And yet all semester i've been preaching that i'm ok with mediocracy,
I've been preaching, studying SMART, not hard.
But i didn't even study SMART, and i didn't study hard.
Bad combo.
I at least know that Andy prolly studied HARD, and i hope smart. I hope it works out!
Ok, thats my thoughts. Honestly, i shoulda blogged a while ago, i dunno why i didn't.
I dont know what happened this semester. I gotta so some serious reflection.
And i gotta get back into a more ACTIVE lifestyle, not just playing sports.
But then agian .. thats prolly been the highlight of the semester.
Winning MENS ultimate frisbee.
Losing in semi-s of Innertube waterpolo.
And just all around having a DAMN good time. I just feel as if maybe i pushed that a little to far this time.
Don't forget i didn't score a summer job, so im just gonna waste more time/money abroad.
And i want to go a mess around. I just need to feel that i deserve to.
Yikes, if you read this far. Slap me with a ruler next time u see me.
