The day in between

Today was a no school day in between first and second semesters. I spent my time at the law firm that I will be doing co-op at for the remainder of second semester. I answer the phones get the mail and faxes to the appropriate person and basically just sit around waiting for people to come in so I can point them in the right direction.
In the morning I sat at the front desk with one of the employees and she showed me all the stuff I gotta do. Then after lunch she let me spread my wings and sit up there all my myself. It was scary at first but I figured it out and I think I'll be okay once I get the hang of things.
A magical thing happened to me when I got home. The fifth Harry Potter was sitting on my bed! That is just the book I plan on reading next. Thank goodness the person who was reading it last hurried up cuz I was becoming impatient which is not my normal self.
Finally, if you're reading this, please pray for a family friend who was suddenly diagnosed with a brain tumor this past weekend. He has two daughters and a wife who really need him. He really needs our prayers, only the big man upstairs can handle this kind of sickness.

The disapointments of a small town.

So as I mentioned before, this afternoon was supposed to be "we bought a zoo." Turns out, some person must have come out in the dead of night and changed the times on the board. I am convinced it was the owner but further investigation is still underway. Updates will be frequent so don't forget to tune in.
Jk. But not really.
I just got out of Voldy (my car) and walked up to the movie theatre when I pulled on the door, it stubornly refused to unlock itself and let me enter. Gazing up at the sign above the theatre I noticed a list of the movies with times beside them. Each one read 6:45 except the last one which was "we bought a zoo." Disappointment to the highest degree, I returned to Voldy and called my mentor to let her know the horrifying news before she made it all the way there and had to witness it on her own. We were able to recover over some hot cocoa at a local cafe style restaurant but I don't know if sleep will be in my cards tonight as I am still alittle shaken.
Another small problem is there is not parking for the theatre. If you don't get one of the few parallel parking spaces right outside the building then you are forced to park in one of the few public 2h parking lots around town.
The final reason you should never live in a small town is that there is nothing to do. The food places are scarce and the entertainment area needs a lot of work. The theatre that we do have is a letdown and other than that there is a bowling alley in a neighbourhood village or area (as it really isn't a town of any sorts). Some people won't why there is such a drug problem in town when there isn't anything for us to do. How do you expect to keep teenagers busy when there isn't anything for them to do?!
After a misfortune of an afternoon, (minus the hot cocoa and conversation) the only bright things on the horizon are Atonement and Transformers. If it weren't for Shia Labeouf how would I ever get through this evening?

It's Over!

I can finally say I have finished 1st semester! Passed I'm not so sure about but I definitly made it through.
Math was a little iffy today, I wasn't as prepared for it as I could have been but I answered all the questions to the best of my ability. That should count for something.
This afternoon is "We Bought a Zoo" and I'm super excited for it! Living in thissmall town we have a movie theatre but it's really small with only 3 rooms and it usually only has a movie on for a week. However it is lost cheaper than going 45 min to the nearest city to see a movie at a Cineplex. You take what you can get when you live in the great white north otherwise known as Canada.
It's transformers time, this is t-bear signing off.

The day before the dreaded final exam.

Today is one of those days where everything seems to be fighting against me. First, I'm trying to study for an exam that's tomorrow but I don't know anything that I'm studying. I'm trying to relearn it but I don't know where to start. Maybe if math didn't insist on being complicated I could get something done.

Next, I get some chocolate, my favourite kind of chocolate, from the grocery store but it doesnt taste good at all. Its all waxy and looks like it was melted at one point and then wasn't put back together properly.

So instead of frustrating myself even more, I've decided to take a break and read for fear of a meltdown that would involve lots of tears.

Unfortunatly I can't read that book that I want to read as it has been borrowed to a friend but I'm currently reading Atonement by Ian McEwan. It's a pretty good book, although its not as awesome as the book I wanted to read, it's have to do for today.

I think mother nature is trying to trick us into believing that spring is coming and then making it snow a lot to banish those thoughts from our naive minds. Not only is it snowing, again, but its sticking. The view from my bedroom window tells me that it has indeed snowed enough to make it iffy when driving. I hate driving in the snow. Absolutly hate it.

The only problem with living in Canada is that sometimes it gets so cold that even the polarbears don't want to venture out, and then how do we get where we need to go? If the polar bears won't drive then the dogsleds most definitly won't either. Canada problems.

Well, at least now I have an excuse not to get to my exam tomorrow. I'll just claim the roads were too bad and my polar bear didn't want to chance the long journey.

That's all for now folks, this is t-bear signing off.

Math+Studying=Failing

After yet another day of studying I feel as though I haven't accomplished anything. Out of 5 units I now know 1 and I only have tonight and tomorrow to study. This goal of going to college looks farther and farther away. I keep telling myself that if I just study really really hard then I'll get into the desired school, that dream is being crushed little by little every hour. The main problem is that I hate math. I don't understand math and it just feels like I'm relearning everything that I've already learned this year. I would say to quit while I'm ahead but I really only have one more obsticle to jump before I am free from acidemic math for the rest of my life. If only that obsticle wasn't worth 30% of my mark.
