A very interesting Day

Ok so hee's the deal. THe only reason I haven't reported anything in the last while is that I haven't had a whole lot of time to think lately, with school and whatnot.

TODAY however, deams a schpeal. things started out normally, I went to school... then got off at about 11 cause I skiped the tutorials that occupied the rest of the day. Came home to do some work to make up for going to YC!

Anyway. I come home to find my "sick" brother and my dad playing videogames, so after a couple hours of work, I joined them until I had to leave for timmy hoh's

at work... somehow... I got 5 dollars tip... this being after it was split between 4 people. Pretty good concidering that It was only half the staff that we are supposed to have on at any given time. Anyway. the strangeness climaxed when ... OUT OF THE BLUE... a group of girls asked for my number. It was some corny line about "giving me a 'tip' if I give them my number" I graciously declined, got a 2 dollar tip, and was baffled for the rest of the evening.

I am not sure. but MAYBE I need to revamp my self image. I personnally have always thought that I didn't have a whole lot of funding in the looks department. And look more wierd that anything else. I don't recognize my own voice, and I guess never realized that it is not to bad at communicating.

Anyway. otherwise all is well... until next time

I am so sad

Today was a really good day, for the most part. The only thing is, that I am having problems fitting in with my fellow Compsci students. It turns out that they are most of them really cool guys, and they are all really interesting people... except for one little detail.

For some reason. to be accepted in this strange cult that is the Computer Science Faculty, one MUST play a certain videogame called World of Warcraft.

Yah... I know eh?

Anyway, I decided that, in this case, peer preasure isn't such a bad thing, so I guess I will... eventually... get this game. I guess, once I told them that, it seemed to satisfy them and they wont treat me like I am a complete outcast.

So yah... University life, so far, reminds me of kindergarden.... Hopefully it will get better

Ok, so here's what happened.

I just had both, my first day of orientation. and also my first day of work after camp. Both went fairly well, but it was nothing overly exciting about either of them. I am, however fairly tired from the whole experience, therefore I am not going to write you bad poetry! YAY!

In the end, I ended up getting excited about nothing special as of yet. Hopefully tommorow will be more interesting and I will actually come up with some sort of spine so's I can start making friends with some of the people in my Faculty!

Have a good one,

Today, was a very good day...

It was beautifull, first I started off just sleeping, I slept until 11:30 and it is a beautiful thing to wake up realizing its almost lunch time. I then proceeded to wake up in a slow and pleasurable fashion that involved falling back asleep several times.

Eventually I phoned Fil and we ended up going out for lunch and then an extreemly overpriced frozen coffee beverage. This was good times, and was enjoyed very much.

I then recieved a phone call from one of my buddies from school and I, Mudd, and 3 of my school chums went out in the evening for fun and videogames. This, though in a very competitive and heated way, was also enjoyed very much.

Now I am writing this log, and will afterwards proceed to going back to sleep once again... hopefully tommorow will be just as good of a day as this one has been!

A POEM, A POEM... my KINGDOM FOR A POEM!

Water.

Always downwards,
flowing downwards.
drifting in a snake like curve,
rushing past in white torrents.

An awesome force to power houses;
a gentle blessing from the sky.
Stinging needles that welt the flesh,
a torrent rendering all it touches.
Good and bad come from all things,
Water is in no way different.

Such a strange thing,
to hold this miracle in glass,
ah well.
might as well drink it while it lasts!

Don't really care if this one is a bad one, because I think its fun, and I have decided I really like drinking something that can plow down houses and curve valleys through rock! GUTS OF STEEL.

Anyway, have a good one.

Wow.... University is BIIIIG

Ok so here's the scoop.

I haven't even gotten onto the campus yet and already I am beginning to feel the preasures of university life comming onto me. Tommorow I have the day full of university stuff I need to be doing. Campus id card, transit stuff, books, tuition, bank stuff, RESP management, learning to spell.

MAN have I got alot of work to do.

On a happier note. I am fairly excited about having a bunch of camp buddies come celebrate my 18th belated birthday with me tommorow. Hopefully the times will work out and I will be able to come :P

Other than that. there really isn't alot going on in this giant's mind!

Until Next Time

ok...

You remember how I said I would have a lot of things to say today...

Well I think I may have problems keeping up with that statement. The surgery went off without a hitch, took like 30 sum minutes. It doesn't really hurt all that much... it actually feels better now that all that presure I didn't know about is gone.

The only things that suck right now is that I have problems eating anything solid and I am real hungry! But that should solve itself in a few days.

On top of it all, all of the doctors and nurses that where assigned to me where really cool, and the doctor even called to check up on me midway though the day. (not sure if I am creeped out or if it is a good thing... leaning towards good thing.)

Its crazy, just when you thought you had the world all figured out, it sends you a curve ball straight in the eye!

Any way, peace out!

Hmm... I don't feel any different...

Well, it’s official. I am now considered a legal adult in Alberta, Canada. The funny thing is though; I don’t feel any different at all! All this hype and excitement, and when it finally gets here, I don’t even have a trickle of adultness... At least, not any more than I did yesterday. : P

It frustrates me that our society has to officially call you an adult before you can do so much stuff. It’s funny, because to me, I have seen 12 year olds that are more mature than I am. If only there was a magical way of testing maturity levels, so that the immature morons that are always out there will never get the opportunity to go to a bar and get wasted, then go driving. Or to have 20 kids, and not take responsibility for them.

Ah well... you can always hope.

I THINK I WILL TRY IT!!!
I am going to be trying a poem. It may suck or smell or whatever word you prefer, but it has been a full year so go easy ok?

In my room the screen is glowing,
hiding things without me knowing.
Treading softly behind the door,
creeping slowly 'cross the floor.

"What’s outside my window pane,"
I say out loud to myself in vain.
Ghouls or goblins?
Witches or crows?
Feel apprehension as it grows.

A man should not feel such things as these,
nor should he be startled by a sudden breeze,
maybe a man I truly am not?
It's not fair, what rubbish, what Rot!

Society says I am a man,
but I'm not sure I really can
be all things I'm supposed to be.
Makes one feel as if to flee
the fell things flying in my direction,
and mixing in the muddy confection
that... is... my... LIFE!

But this is the way all people feel,
at least of those not set to reel.
To finish up, the point I bring
is: I'm the same ol' giant I was in spring!

So yah, didn't turn out to bad, but I think that it is deffinately not my best. Anyway, those of you who actually read this, I am going in to surgery tomorrow at lunchtime to get my wisdom teeth out, so maybe the next entry will have a more passionate topic. Like how cool freezing is. Or how the surgeon didn't wash his hands after going to the washroom >:P.

Always here.
