This And That

OMG! OMG! OMG!
I passed my first essay with a 6.1/10!!! This is the same essay that I failed last year. I do need to work on organization, and writing style, but I am very, very pleased that I passed this essay!!
I have officially met the two half Japanese twins. Really nice, and funny. I just wish people didn't have to tell others the stupid things about me, what a great friend eh? This is one person I don't trust either.
I walked in today, it was sunny, and there was a nice breeze blowing, go to lunch with a friend, and we go to leave, and what is it doing? Pouring rain. Screw off... Can't find a decent normal umbrella in town either...
Japanese tutorial lab today. Like any other day got to be stupid again. :D HOORAH. *sarcasm* Talked with a friend after. Finally mailed my Confirmation of Earnings for Student Loans. Grabbed food for supper at the grocery store.
Now I shall go into a rant.
2 months in counting, not including this month until I get out of this stupid town!
It will be better to not have to see people I cannot stand. You know I had a boyfriend too, we didn't hang off each other, and spend every moment together, and all that stuff. But there are people that do that, and those are usually the people who value their boyfriends over their friends. My thoughts on that are: Go die in a fire. <3 I am not the only immature one. WAIT!!!! I am always immature, according to everyone else that is.

Week Two and I am Sooo Busy

I only have three course, so apparently that is enough to consider me a full time student. (Microeconomics, Intermediate Japanese, Asian History)
Even though I have only three classes I am busier than when I had five courses. I am betting it on the fact that my Asian History class, and my Intermediate Japanese are both second year courses. I am still considered first year because I do not have the credits to be a second year student since I failed the two courses. (Sociology, Asian History)
I probably will take Sociology next semester, I need to because I would feel better if I could get rid of all my failing marks. Then all I need is one more course.
I just finished my Microeconomics assignment due tomorrow. There was only one question I did not understand.
Also the other day when I walked to school in the pouring rain my books, most of them in my backpack are still wet, and that is really upsetting.

Making the Best of It

I can't even get into Sociology next semester I keep getting the Faculty consent line from the registration site. I emailed the Professor of the course, and I hope she is nicer than the other Professor I emailed. I NEED to get back in. I didn't end up going to class today either, and I doubt we did anything in History. I worked last night so I was tired when I got home, but I stayed up and played a bit or World of Warcraft, and talked to a friend.
I am still not impressed about being stuck here. =/ I am going to fix my mistakes, and hopefully leave with a GPA that gets me out of Academic Probation.
The boss better fill out my Student Loans papers soon. I also finally got the email from the reghelp desk, took them long enough, I got a faster response from the professor.

Classes Begin Tomorrow

I met my new Japanese Conversation Partner tonight. I enjoy her, but I really miss the one I met this summer. She gave me a cute Hello Kitty cellphone charm, and chocolate. :D I met many others tonight to. They are all very surprised I can speak some Japanese. I really enjoy the program. I was being very shy, and was nervous as heck though. I ran into my friend from last year, and just about cried. I am very unstable due to the fact that last night my boyfriend, and I broke up. I'll live though, and I won't be falling in love again anytime soon, and it was very nice to see her. Classes start tomorrow, but I don't have my history class until 1. :D Yay. I have classes at 7:30 on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday though. xD I cut my hours thank god.

Textbooks and Still Not In Sociology

So for courses I have Intermediate Japanese, Microeconomics, and Asian History. I bought the textbooks I need, and the History Professor added another book to read to the course. Also there is a book to read for Microeconomics.
Well I am still not in Sociology, and no one was at the registration help desk she helped one guy, and then disappeared, needless to say I wasn't impressed, and didn't stand around. I wanted to deal with this today, guess I will go talk to the professor on Wednesday... Apparently the topic this year is poverty, now that I can understand. I just need to see which books I need, and if the textbooks are the same. Screw this faculty's consent I got back into History so why not Sociology, what is so special about it?
I just emailed my conversation partner, hopefully I can meet her before the event on Monday night. :D

Course Registration and Plans

Okayy so I registered for courses, all but one, and I might drop another one...
I can't get back into Sociology at the moment but I got back in my History course that I failed. Apparently I need the faculty's consent to get back into Sociology.
There are no courses I want to take. University is nothing like I thought it would be... I need to get out so after first semester I am going to work my butt off to pass those courses, and I am not coming back second semester.
I cannot do it. I am not smart enough for university, and like I said there is nothing I want to take.
I should have stuck to art, and what not but no. I just didn't know what I want to do. Life is confusing in that sense.
I am going to be helping out with the Japanese Society this year too.
The new Japanese students are here! I cannot wait to meet my Conversation partner on Monday. =D

Final Marks (^^);

So...I...um...got my marks.... I passed Macroeconomics with a C which makes me go WTF?! I thought I failed that course. I failed Asian History though... I thought I would fail Economics... I have to apply myself more next year. My best mark was of course Japanese. I passed everything else just barely... I am going to retake the courses I failed, so Sociology, and the History Course. I have to see about a Commerce major. OMG I am so scared. I feel so stupid. I tried harder second semester I swear but I just suck. :'(

Exams Next Week

Exams next week, ohhh gawd. D: I am currently under the weather, and trying to study without passing out. I have an English Exam Thursday, Japanese Exam Friday, History Exam Saturday, Economics exam the next Tuesday or Wednesday, and Commerce Exam Friday. I cannot fail any course this time, if I do I am so screwed. I am .1 point below the acceptable Grade Point average. I really need to do well since I failed Sociology last semester which I failed, and hated, and probably should have dropped.

The School Year is Almost Over

Last time I posted was probably in early February. It's March now. Also daylight savings has gone by.
I was really busy with three essays due two weeks ago, and work had me completely overwhelmed. It is okay now. I have an Macroeconomics assignment due Friday. I am going to skip the classes, and read the textbook instead, and go to tutorial, our professor teaches us nothing. I bombed that midterm. I also bombed the history midterm. I didn't do as good as I thought I did on the Japanese midterm. I hate labs for Commerce, they suck, the group never contacts me.
The Society of All Nations Banquet was the other night, and it was quite fun.
Spring is upon us. So is Easter weekend, and EXAMS! *panics* I really need to work hard.
I applied to be an RA for the Summer Japanese students. I would absolutely love to have that job. <3 I really love the Japanese students.
I participated in a Japanese Speech Contest the other day, and was shaking like a leaf. We only had a week to prepare, and I re-typed the essay twice. It was very nerve-wracking, but very good practice.
I don't know when I will remember to post again. See you around.

I've Been Busy

When was the last time I updated? Sorry, I forgot about this blog.
Midterms are over, thank God. I really screwed up my English midterm, I was stressed out do a Financial Situation. I never filled out my Confirmation of Earnings back in September so my second half of my student loan hasn't come in yet. They sent me the forms for it, and I didn't even see it in the envelope, and I found it today. I spent 4 hours studying for the Making of Modern Asia, and I have one article left to read, and of course it was on the midterm, it's 40 pages long, and long winded so I am reading it during Independent Study week. In Economics I have been ding surprisingly well assignment wise. I studied a bit for the midterm but I didn't remember all the equations. Japanese, the midterm was a breeze~ Although last week the teacher couldn't come in on Monday, Wednesday the weather was bad so class was canceled so we had class at lab time on Thursday, which was a very busy day. I had English, went and got my Confirmation of Earnings form filled out at work, had a History midterm, had to go get my cell phone which I left at home, had an economics midterm, and then had Japanese class. We studied at the cafe in the student centre which was great fun.
I went to the Chinese New Year celebration hosted by the Chinese Student Association, and that was great fun, this was held two weeks before the actual date though. We celebrated Chinese New Year by going to the local Canadian Vietnamese Restaurant, and we got a lottery ticket. I gave out Valentine's day cards for Valentine's Day, even to the guy I like, who I constantly run away from, and I have to stop that.
I wonder what is going to happen now?

Late Again

I actually did have class today. One lab, and it was for commerce. I checked my email, and labs for commerce started this week, and anyone who missed yesterday's started today. The room was switched just for today so I ran across campus. I was already late. The room was packed, and I had to stand by the door behind tall people.
I bought the textbooks today, and I bought whatever I could used, and the most expensive was the business textbook.
I have readings to do tonight for English, and Asian History. I looked for the Asian History article in the archives, and the professor put it on the course site.
I also went to get my bursary from my father's workplace today. That is the only bursary I got because I am not prep, and I don't have connections.

2nd Semester First Day

My first class today was English. I left the house late. I also had to check the campus map to see where my English class was because I had no clue where the building was. Too bad the map, and the actual campus layout doesn't really correspond. I went into the wrong building, and when I went to check the map on the wall down the short flight of stairs to see what building it was I didn't see or even bother to look down, and tripped over the step there. I then realized that it was the building behind the one I was in. Not all the buildings are properly marked. I was late for class, and when I walked into the class it was like the first day of first semester all over again. I was sitting beside someone from my high school, and someone else from the high school was in the class. I am going to enjoy English, it is very interesting.
I went to Asian History with Jill and Howard. :D I am so glad they are in the class. This class will be fun as well.
It was a god thing Jill is also in the same Economics class as me because when I wrote down the room for the lab, and the class I screwed them up. Our professor is a squirrel. This class should be enjoyable too.
I am going to fight this semester, and not procrastinate.

Winter Semester Starts Soon

The Christmas Break is done tomorrow since it will be my last day off.
I checked my student email and found emails from my Japanese teacher, and since there are so many people in the Introductory Japanese II class A she is requesting that some people switch into class B, and I can't do that because I like having friends in the class that I know.
I was going through my textbooks because there is a used textbook sale, and I can sell all my books except for the Japanese ones. That's roughly 450$ worth of books. My cat kitten Mochi chewed on Still Blaming Children by: Bernard Schissel, and I didn't like the book, apparently neither did Mochi.
This semester I have:
Introductory Japanese II
Business Studies and Tutorial to Commerce Lab
Introduction to Principles of Literary Analysis
The Making of Modern Asia
Principles of Macroeconomics and Tutorial Macroeconomics Lab
I have to work really hard this semester to redeem myself. I will keep up with my readings, and go to all of my labs. I will not do what I did last semester which was stupid, and reckless. I will study for my midterms as well, even though I did really good on the Sacred Space Holy Land Midterm, and I winged it.
