General Update

Hey all! I haven't a clue if anyone bothers to even read this thing anymore since my life is definitely not as exciting post Europe, but I figure I'll try and keep it going for a while. Who knows, maybe there will be something exciting happening soon..though I doubt it!

Nothing TOO new really, my sister just got her first apartment and is moving out in a few weeks which is crazy, so she's out and about trying to find furniture and other bits and bobs that she'll need. So that will be good for her I think, so I hope it goes well. It will be nice that she's on her own, I think that will help her to appreciate everything that she may not have appreciated so much before!

School so far is going really well. I only have three classes I gave up on French the minute the teacher started giving the lesson in French...I haven't done French in like 3 years so I understood maybe 1/4 of what she said haha! So yea, that didn't last long, still have English, Greek and Roman Studies and of course Astronomy. I really hope that Astronomy goes well because I hate science and I need to get a science done for my program and I just really want it all to work out! I just had my first lab for that class and it was awesome, I learned a few new constellations and also got to see Jupiter and its moons through a telescope which was super cool because Jupiter has always been my favorite planet ! But yes, I wrote up my lab which was good, and I really hope I get a good mark, I tried really hard but I still feel like it wont be good enough, but I suppose I'll find out on Monday when I get it back, so everyone keep your fingers crossed for me, because I REALLY need to do well! Other than that though school is great, gotta try and get working some more very soon!

As for the working out thing...I could really do better, though the few times I have gone to the gym have seemed to make at least a slight difference! So thats always good, it will make it easier to keep going. My friend Yasmin has a bellydancing video she's going to let me have so that could be fun! But otherwise I just need to get my butt in gear and get going more often! I have plenty of time, just have to get myself to do it! So I will..somehow I will!

Anyways as far as I know that's about all I really had to say. I went to see Julie and Julia tonight and it was very adorable. Kind of makes me wish I had more of a purpose for my blogging, sadly I do not! Ah well, c'est la vie!

Cheers!

First Day of School!!

WOO HOO!!! Finally I got to go to school today!! I swear I've been waiting for school to start forever!!! At least that's what it feels like! The day wasn't particularly eventful but it was a good day. First class was English and my prof looks like he's terrified to be speaking to all of us and his hands shake and he says 'um' a lot the poor thing, he seems prone to tripping over his words as well, but the class itself should be mildly entertaining because there's short stories, some poetry, a play and something else we'll study too but I can't for the life of me remember what exactly. My second class was french and omg that was awful!! The prof is nice but I was expecting a class similar to say..grade 12 French where they teach you vocab and stuff, which they do but the whole class is taught in French and I haven't done proper French in like 3 years so needless to say the minute she got started I was like, "I'm royally fucked" so my plan is to either get into a class that's taught in English so I can replenish my meager knowledge of French OR to drop it and take beginners Italian instead!! I'm just waiting on an email from both my French prof and the prof that teaches Italian and then hopefully that will get sorted in the next few days, the sooner the better! Afterwards I had a HUGE like 6 hour break so I hung out with Darcy a little bit and went home for a bit, popped over to the library and got a few more books and then had some dinner early on and went back to school for my last class at 6:30, it's a three hour lecture but thankfully only about an hour today, I about fell asleep, it's been a busy day, I'm not used to getting up at quarter after 6! Anyways, so the class was Astronomy and the prof is SOOOOO funny listen to, he sounds like your stereotypical gay guy which is kind of funny and he says mmk a LOT, more than he should I think, but he's really really funny, I definitely had to stifle more than one laugh but he got the whole class going a few times! So I'm thinking that is going to be an excellent class :) the lab thing is kind of confusing but I'll just email the prof and see what he says! But yea, it was a fairly eventful day so that was good! Tomorrow I don't have too much, going to go to the gym with Darcy and I'm happy about that, I'll be glad to get back into some form of an exercise regime!! And then I get to try and make dinner for mom and dad tomorrow night, as soon as I figure out what to make them! But I'm sure that it will be ok! Anyways, that's about it for now I think, ttyl!

Cheers!
