Overbooked & overworked

No but seriously, what is it with November 3 & 4 ? I have been invited to / have to go to about 15 different activities that are held on these two days. Why on earth would everyone pick THOSE exact dates? Seriously? A Tuesday & a Wednesday???

I'm kind of starting to panic. Leafing through my planner, with the exams coming up... Well let's just say it's not looking good. I should learn to say no. I already have four classes, and out of these, 2 of my teachers are effing INSANE giving us this incredible workload (and I'm used to writing papers and studying for exams... never have I ever had so much work....). I'm barely keeping up.

Plus driving classes. That's like an extra 2 hours a week. Plus 4-hour practices a week for a special academic/sports/social event coming up this winter (which I can't really discuss right now). Plus involvment in financing said event. Plus dance class and cardio workout (2 hours a week). Plus board meetings (3h every 2 weeks). Also, I'm playing godmother to 2 foreign students. And let's not forget the shitload of homework my teachers take pleasure in giving us.


And now? On top of all that? Mentorship. Because OBVIOUSLY I didn't have enough on my plate as it is! I mean, I'm really excited about that program, but it's just BAD timing. Shit.

I'm trying to do everything at once and I'm sort of realizing that you can't be good at everything. There isn't always enough time to do it all. In life, you have to choose.

And I suck at making choices.

Atchoo!

I'm so sick of sneezing and having to blow my nose every 30 seconds!!!

Let it snow!

It's snowing again :) or should I say, it hasn't stopped since this morning!

Everything is white outside, it's lovely ♥

I'd love to go out and build a snowman, but with this nasty cold I caught, it'd be ill-advised. Thankfully it isn't the swine flu!

I find it so weird that this is the 3rd "storm" we get before Halloween. Must be global warming. Ironic as it sounds, it's probably true. Global warming = more snow & more rain for us poor Quebecers! But hey, maybe we'll beat Forks as the rainiest place on earth and attract bloodsuckers on our land....

JUST KIDDING! I've just been subjected to a bunch of Twilight stans this week and it seems to have addled my brains :/

Ok, back to algebra :(

Fall Break? Huh?

Supposedly, this week is fall break. No school all week. All play, no work. Supposedly.

Let's just say I'm in over my head and will spend the week indoors (poo, it's so nice outside... sunny and crisp. perfect fall day <3), writing papers and studying for upcoming exams. Oh, the joy!

Also, still trying to come up with a decent Halloween costume for a party next Saturday. Absolutely uninspired this year. I want something funny or cute, or recognizable... but not slutty, that's just not me. Ideas anyone? Maybe I should consider something spooky... after all, the party is held in a CHURCH, of all places!!

Ah, wish I had more time for my friends this week (like L, S, F, C and C, who I've been neglecting quite a bit lately), but it will have to wait...

Shocker

I had no idea. This is just WAY too much.

I don't know why I'm making such a big deal out of it though. After all, they're not the first couple I know who get married so young.

I HATE YOU, L (even though you probably won't read this... but you know already anyway as I have verbally assaulted you!!!) !!!!

Seriously, I should never believe a word that comes out of that crazy girl's mouth. She was only pulling my leg about getting married!!!

God I hate that girl sometimes!

Algebra and other dilemmas

I have been so busy with school and social activities that I have neglected this blog... !

I think I understand now, that is to say, a little over 12 hours before my calculus exam, and 72 hours to go before the algebra one, why I dislike maths so much. I mean, I get it, the whole how-to-solve-problems, and with a lot of practice, I can usually teach myself to do it, and learn the whole process.

The problem lies deeper within. I dislike maths because I do not UNDERSTAND them. I can do them, but I don't understand what they mean, and where formulas come from.

That's just how I learn. I'm much better at things I actually understand, than at things I have to memorize (although I'm good at that) or to apply.

The week from hell is coming up, and as with every exams week, drama always follows. It's like I have been cursed. Every single exams week, something MAJOR happens. Or a lot of semi-major things. Never the week before or the weeks after exams... nope, it's always DURING/right before that dreaded week.... I have rotten luck!

Ghosts from the past popping up, my almost roommate bursting into my apartment in TEARS over her relationship, a very good friend stuck between lust (another girl) and love (her boyfriend), a potential job offer... and finding out I have gotten screwed by my university (yet again... seems I'm quite unlucky when it comes to bureaucracy... I mean, they even managed to mess up my Bachelor's degree diploma...

This evening was especially eventful, so much so that I had a panic attack on top of it all. It's going to be a LONG week...
