i type, you read. simple as that.Archive for September, 2008
here’s my two cents:
let me just state for the record that any class ever involving religion, politics, or any other “cool” debatable topic such as those is basically dry-jammed figurative obnoxious opinion suppository that you pay money you don’t even have to receive
that is all. have a good night.
PS – i thought i’d share a quote from myself… this is something that i said today while talking to a few classmates of mine.
“to build upon what he said, we’re still raping their culture, we just switched alleyways so to say. ‘cultural rape’ is such a violent term, though; think of it as cultural love… not even that, these days it’s more like cultural cuddling and holding each other”
pervert or genious. you decide.

yo yo yo, i ain’t dead, son
so i’ve been keeping quite busy doing school work, working at staples, fighting sickness and sleeping when i can… i’m loving living in the new room, james (my new room mate) is wicked and i have a very nice view of trees and u-hall from my window. right now, i’m helping put together an underwear party for seminary house that’s going on saturday night, missing pubcrawl on friday night because of work that night and that morning but i’m sure i will survive.
right now life isn’t all that exciting, i’ve got to say… it’s just been a lot of reading (well, “reading parties” considering we’re constantly at tim hortons late at night doing classwork) and trying to upkeep personal hygiene when time allows me to do so… tubski came down on sunday night and we went to a free concert on campus (illscarlett, jimmy swift band, and others), and aside from that, i’ve just been doing the everyday stuff
anyway, i’ve got class in the morning. i’m going to head to bed.

changes, oooh yeah
so i ended up dropping political science after all; i had some reservations about it afterward, well, i was just afraid that my loan may end up getting cut or something (i had asked around, but didn’t have offical confirmation from the loan people), but i called up the student loans people and they said it would be just fine, so all-in-all, i am very content with my decision
speaking of decisions, i’ve made some impacting decisions within the last few days as well… i switched my concentration from “acting and performance” to “production and design”; basically, i’ll still be getting a bachelor of arts degree in theatre, but just with a different concentration. so i have to buy a pair of steel-toed boots soon because my schooling is basically going to consist of learning set design/construction, lighting, sound, and a bunch more fun stuff. it’s going to be a challenge and i’m REALLY excited about the whole thing; i still love acting, but i think i’m going to be more successful and all-together happy by learning production.
another big decision was my decision to switch rooms in seminary house… they no longer had any singles open (the un-freezed rooms this morning at 8 am, so i was at the residence life building at 8 am when they opened, and the first two people in line got the two free singles in seminary… by the time i was halfway up the line, the only ones left were in crowell tower or roy jodrey (rojo), so i ended up coming back later and getting switched into a double with somebody else (their roommate had to get a single because their basketball coach requested that they do). i saw the room tonight and it’s HUGE; i mean, my friends always commented on how big my old room was (seminary has huge rooms… My old one was about ten feet wide, fifteen feet long and twelve feet high), and considering the specs i just gave, my new room is the same but about 20 feet wide. my new roommate seems great as well, so i am really excited about making the switch; things just weren’t working out between my old roommate and myself, so i decided to leave as early as possible.
i have a german quiz in the morning, and i’m going to rock the crap out of it.
but yeah, things are going really well… things are changing up at staples too, so this next month should be interesting to say the least.
i’m going to bed.

i’m getting better…
so i figured i’d come home for the night just to kick back, enjoy some cable tv, home cooking, and all that jazz… also, i was expecting a call and had some reading to do, so i didn’t want to wake up thomas (my roommate). it’s pretty nice to be laying in my bed at home right now, watching spaceghost coast-to-coast while blogging, i’ve got to say.
classes are now in full-swing and it has been a lot of reading and note-taking so far; i’m really enjoying my theatre classes (my profs are brilliant), and even though becoming part of the acadia theatre company is a little bit overwhelming, i’m sure i’ll have a lot of fun and learn a crap-load.
currently, i’m considering dropping political science, though because i’m still working so a five course-load is a bit tricky especially while i’m still getting into the university groove. i’m enjoying the class, but i figure i’ll start light and pick up the credit next year or next semester, another perk is the i can get the money back for the textbooks and it would give me fridays off, but that’s not the reason i’m considering dropping the course. i don’t know, my thought process is always a little weird, but theatre and work are going to keep me really busy, so it may be nice to have a bit of extra time to get into the swing of things and take more time in my other courses. i’d still be considered a full-time student too, so there’s really nothing wrong with dropping the course as long as i do it ASAP so that i don’t get too into it
for the past day or so, i’ve had an underlying feeling on anxiety at just about all times… maybe it’s because i haven’t been resting as much as i should be, or maybe it’s something more; regardless, i need to catch up on important things such as sleep. this leads me to my next point…
i need to sleep. good night.

hectic, hectic, hectic
i’m a crappy somehwat-addicted blogger, sorry for the lack of updates on my ever-so important life, things have been busy
… can you smell the ego through your computer screen?
i’m currently sitting in just us cafe taking the local coffee-drinkers and students trying to be classy; you could make a drinking game out of it, actually. picture it: take a shot every time you hear the word “sustainability”… it could be like a big buzz-word bingo game (that’s a bit of a dilbert reference, don’t hang me for that)
anyway, i’m a prick and living in residence is great; it’s natural to miss a few things about home (like my puppies), but all-in-all it is good and there are a lot of great people living around me… work has been pretty hectic because of all the students coming into town and the high-schoolers going back to school, but i’ve been surviving
just had political science clas which is reminding me quite a bit of the poli sci course i took in high school… i’m not complaining
on another note, i won the staples academic scholarship (i don’t remember if i mentioned that earlier), so i’m really excited about that, and i also now have all of my books which only came to a little under $400 (i don’t need a book for acting & performance OR german… i’m a happy, happy boy)
anyway, i should be heading out; my dorm room is calling
