GETTING INTO THE SWING OF THINGS
I'm starting to gradually make the transformation from summer to school, and it only took me a week. But I'm still not completely there. I'm already falling a little behind on the readings and it's the second week of classes. How sad is that? I tend not to think about it too much, or worry about it, because I think of the good times spend with friends that I'm subsituting over homework time. Plus, there really isn't any major assignments due right away. I'm still doing okay, because I haven't found the classes to be at all over my head yet, and the discussions are all pretty general, common sense, type issues.
Today in journalism 331, the Introduction to Writing and Editing, we went over grammar, something I have to say I don't mind doing at all. I've always been strong at grammar, and I enjoy identifying parts of speech in different sentences, plus we get to work in small groups which I enjoy a lot, more than classroom discussions because you're not talking across the whole classroom talking above other people just itching to explain their own opinions on matters.
Yesterday in online journalism, we discussed the impact of the internet, and although I wasn't really involved in the discussion, and my mind drifted a bit, I took some notes for future use. It was pretty straight forward anyways.
I'm also getting my life back on track, which has been going off-road lately, like this past weekend. I never got a whole lot accomplished, aside from some Omega work, and my mind has on anything but school lately, and on other people. For the first time in a while, I felt I had really something going with a girl, a girl I won't mention the name of. We had a great time hanging out on Friday night, things were going great, and then just two days later, on Sunday night, we had an argument and I left. After I went to apologize to her last night, she said she didn't care, and at that time I knew that she isn't for me at all. When I hear the response "I don't care" after I say "I'm sorry", I know the feelings just aren't mutual. The response I was looking for was more around the lines of "thanks" or "it's okay" because I never thought the things I said to her on Sunday night were as bad as she was telling people. I think I'm over it anyways, we didn't have a whole lot in common. She likes guys with trucks, I drive a car. She likes smaller towns, I love the city, which brings me to my next topic.
TRIP TO CALGARY THIS WEEKEND
In under three days I'll be on the road to Calgary to see my friend John, and I am pretty pumped about that. The girls in Alberta will be awesome, the drinking will be great, and my friend Thea is of age in Alberta. I'm going with her, and my other friends Jordan and Chris. If I can remember some good quotes I will definetely post them, because it's going to be a lot of fun. My ex-girlfriend Nicole lives in Red Deer and wants me to come visit her, so I'm going to try and work something out there as well. We'll see.
Preparation for the trip will continue over the next couple days. I've burnt a couple of CD's, but I'm thinking at least one more for the trip would be ideal. I also still have a fair bit of cash from the summer I plan to definetely spend on alcohol and other stuff. Ya know, the real smart investments. The camera will be out and I plan to take some good pictures. After originally intending to attend a Stampeders home game against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, taking place on Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m., I just can't see that happening anymore. The drive from Calgary back here is a little long. I do plan to go around downtown, and check out the University of Calgary, and Mount Royal College, where a few of Jordan's friend go to school. And there's a good chance we'll end up going to The Back Alley drinking on Saturday night. Anyways, that is that, and I'm looking forward to another road trip.
