So I decided that taking a second spring course was maybe a bad idea. Considering that next week is going to be crazy busy with all of the wedding stuff that needs to get done. So I’m going to take another Athabasca course like I had planned to way back when. I’m attempting to take a slightly more easy course this time around, with less assignments. Maybe I’ll manage to finish it in 3 months, that would be awesome! I just need to do it in time to graduate, and I don’t think that’ll be a problem. If it is, I’ll just postpone graduation until next May :P Who cares at this point, I just want to get on with it! I’m tired of being stuck here. Me and Mike have things to do and we need to get on with getting our lives together. Me going there sooner means that we get our new apartment sooner, and possibly I get my car sooner. Not to mention having a class will give me something to do until I get a job. Darn visas taking forever! Anyways, so this is the new plan. Sorry, you won’t have me sticking around until mid-June then, I’ll be out of here sooner than that, I hope. Which means next week is going to involve me packing up all of my things in effort to get that all sorted out. Sigh, it’s about time, I say!

Well, my first day back to class after about a month went fine. I jumped this morning when my cell phone alarm went off (my clock radio is apparently broken) and did not want to get up for class because I’m still exhausted from the weekend. I fell asleep this afternoon while doing my reading for class. Anyways, there’s about 8 or 9 people in the class. The classroom itself is pretty small and very few computer hookups but as there are only two of us that brought their computers I don’t think I’ll have to worry about fighting for them. I was kind of surprised at how many people take notes the old fashioned way. I mean, they give us these computers for a reason!

I was supposed to read 2 chapters tonight, about 74 pages but I couldn’t even make it through the first one. I definitely need to get caught up on my sleep, Desperate Housewives kept me up too late last night, I’ll probably head to bed around 10pm tonight! It’s annoying when you are too tired to do anything but you can’t nap this late and can’t go to bed this early. I’d like to finish up my reading and do a workout, but I just don’t have it in me tonight. I’ve missed the last few days of working out because of the craziness over the weekend and then driving back yesterday. If it hadn’t been for Alley I would have come back Saturday. Darn cats needing to be drugged. I’ll be happier once I’m settled into one place for awhile. And I get caught up on my sleep too!

I’m hoping that I don’t gain back all the weight that I’ve managed to lose the last couple of weeks, that would be a little disheartening, especially since it is so close to the wedding and I wanted to look nice and slim. I guess it doesn’t matter as much as it did since we probably won’t get to go to Hawaii after all. That kind of stinks, but hopefully we’ll get to go another time. I’m going to keep at trying to get to my goal weight, but I just need a break for right now, lack of sleep and too much to do making my brain hurt. So the final word is class was good, but I need to sleep!

Yay! Just got all my marks in and they were: B, B+, 2 A-’s, and 1 A! Huzzah! My GPA for both terms combined was 3.5 – pretty much what I’d wanted since I started university. Unfortunately, my overall GPA is still stuck at 3.19. All those As and stuff only brought it up from a 3.13. Once you have four years of grades, things don’t move very far on the overall GPA which saddens me. Oh well, I still have these two summers courses to add on to the GPA and possibly a grade from the distance course, but I think that all transfer credits only go into the transcript as pass or fail. Which makes it odd that I’m bending all over myself to do a good job on the paper but I think it has more to do with me hating to churn out a crappy paper than the grade itself.

Anyways, I intend to write up something tonight to email my prof, we’ll see how that goes. I’m going to lose a few hours out of my evening to go do wedding stuff tonight, so I need to get cracking on the reading and writing. Sigh, I can’t wait until this is over!!!!

Weekend’s over and here we are at Monday. Casey and I are heading downtown to get some errands done just as soon as she gets out of her meeting. Interesting to see what will come out of that. Anyways, I, of course, got most of my work done on Sunday – it seems that I get to panicking over it and get more done than when it’s Friday and Saturday when I think, ohh I’ve got the whole weekend! I need to stop doing that, or get more done during the week. I’ve made a schedule of assignments and stuff that are due and I stuck it on my corkboard, so hopefully everything will get accomplished. I’m going to try and get my group project going for Non Western history because I really want to be able to fly out on Friday instead of Saturday. I emailed my prof asking and he said we had to pick topics first, so maybe if our group has a topic, we’ll be all set. I’ve got two assignments due this week (already, geez) so I’ve gotta get cracking on those tonight. I’m also starting to run out of clothes to wear, so I should probably do something about that! It’s supposed to snow tonight, but as long as it holds off for awhile I might be able to get a load done.

Once my zits clear up, I think I’m going to get my photos taken for graduation. It’s pretty exciting! I can’t believe it’s finally time for me to not be in school for awhile…. Wow. And really, if I find a good job without my grad degree, I might think twice about going back. It looks like the job I want requires a MLIS though. It’s too bad, I just want to be out there and working. School is fine and all, but enough is enough. Especially after this year, I’ve practically driven myself mad. After this semester, my stress levels will go down a lot. Two classes in the span of like 6 months will be a piece of cake. I’ll probably register for my Acadia distance course during exams. Wee! After exams, that Acadia course and one Athabasca course is all that I’ll need! :D Man, I just can’t wait to have that degree on my wall.
