I'm already having a hard time concentrating on school and I'm only a third of the way through the semester. I think I'm in trouble...

eeeew

Peter took me out to Harrison this evening on his bike. We found a place to eat and took a seat on the patio. It was a really nice place and we were having fun. A bunch of Canada Geese flew overhead and I was thinking how horrible it would be if one of them went to the bathroom on us. Just as soon as I thought that I felt something land on my head and splat on the little plate beside me. I didn't believe it could actually be bird droppings so I brushed at the spot on my head where I felt the splat. Sure enough...the stupid goose had decided to let loose right over my head!!!! It was so gross! I went to the bathroom to take care of the rest of it but I think my fingers had gotten it all (YUK!!!) because I didn't find any more. When I got back to the table I couldn't stop laughing. I told Peter I would have a great story to tell. How often does that happen? I've heard of it happening to other people before...but never at a nice restaurant by a nice lake...it's almost something you'd see on America's Funniest Home Videos.
So that was my night.

early

I've already been up for almost an hour and I don't have to be up for another hour. I went to sleep way too early last night. I had to work very early yesterday morning and I was pretty sore from work (waving flashlight batons around) so I guess all that made me pretty tired. I woke up this morning and remembered all sorts of stuff I had to print off for Kids4Christ (Kids Klub) so I figured I might as well get up. Now I'm waiting for all the stuff to print and it's taking forever!! We have a really old printer. It does the job though. I'm looking forward to trying this new kids program out. I think it's going to be really good.

So work yesterday and friday was pretty fun. It didn't rain!!! except for a little bit on friday and I didn't have a job where I had to stand in one spot. I also had lots of friends to work with. Friday I was south overflow. When the main lots get full we move to overflow lots. All of the traffic comes in at once and it gets really busy. Lots of running and trying to get cars to park where you want them to park. Quite frusterating at times. Saturday I did relief. This is my favorite position because I get to give people breaks (which means they love me and that I get to change my position all the time). I still spent most of my time in the south lot.

I'm hungry...I think I need to go and get some food.

a history lesson

I'm sure almost everyone has heard the phrase, "damned if you do and damned if you don't." I was in psychology today and our teacher told us where the saying originated from. It was really interesting even though I've heard the story before.

In the Middle Ages there was a guidebook written called Malleus Maleficarum (meaning Witches Hammer). In it was written the guide used to identify witches. Anyone exhibiting odd behaviours that had no identified origins was said to be a witch and was then put through a test. Any people thought to be guilty were tied up with weights attached to their bodies and were then thrown into a body of water. If they managed to untie themselves and float up to the top they were said to have demonic powers. These "witches" were then burned at the stake. If they sunk to the bottom and drowned they were said to be innocent. Interesting...the innocent were killed right along with the guilty. So this is where the phrase "damned if you do and damned if you don't" came from.

This is why I love school. So many interesting things to learn :)

lately

So...I have finished my first week of school and I'm about to start my second. I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would. I guess it's just nice to be busy again. My kiniesiology (KPE) class is going to be really hard. My teacher said it is one of the hardest KPE courses that UCFV offers. YIPEE!!! As my KPE lab teacher says "anatomoy and physiology is like taking a drink from a fire hydrant." YIKES!!! I'm already starting to study though so hopefully it won't be too bad. I also have philosophy which is going to be really easy...I've already learned a lot of the stuff we are doing this semester and most of it seems to be common sense. Today I have my first psychology class so I'll find out what that will be like soon.

I had to work all a lot this weekend. Thursday and Friday night I did heavy duty housecleaning. Mostly this involved vaccuming all of the booths. I don't mind doing that kind of work. The vaccum is heavy but at least I keep busy. Saturday during the day I did light duty housecleaning. Just checking on washrooms that are already clean and stocked and checking garbages that are not even half full. To top it all the bordom off I was feeling really sick for most of the day. I went to the OFA and got some motrin but it didn't work and I ended up going home a few hours early. I always hate doing that. I don't like leaving the other people with the work.

Yesterday was a really fun day. Church was in the park and the weather was so beautiful. After church I went out for lunch and then to a movie with my friends. Shannon was getting baptized in the evening so we all went up to Hayward Lake to see her get dunked. Peter took me up on his bike. It was fun going on all the winding roads. Then we all went to Jimmy's house to watch the season premier of Simpsons and Family Guy. A perfect end to a perfect day.

finally

PART OF MY STUDENT LOAN JUST CAME IN!!!!!
Anyone want to dance around in circles with me???
