Week-In Review #2

Lol, I'm using this more and more often since I can't post on a regular basis anymore.

First of all, damn what a week.

I was not able to complete my lab referral and my take home quizzes. It feels like I have not come back since Winter Break.

On top of that, my stress level tripled because my aquarium went through an insane ride. Ammonia levels of the charts, Hydrogen Sulfide build up that made it smell like rotten eggs (friggin anearobic bacteria). Many fish perished, very little are striving to survive.

Despite this I have felt grace this week. I usually pray just for the sake of my own spirituality as to not drift towards some sort of agnostic/atheist mind set. Actually, at times I don't pray. But this week, my praying went to over drive and I had to ask St. Rita and St. Jude for favours. I'm not usually the one to pray to saints, but I needed all the help I can get this week.

In the end, my teacher completely forgot about my work (luckily, also it's not really for marks) and I still have a good number of fish left and the water has stabilized.

Call it a miracle, call it coincidence or call it what you want. My faith level just leveled up.

Thank you St. Rita and St. Jude for favours granted.

This House

Is pure retarded. These kids are like the typical college party kids you hear about on TV. The only thing missing is well.....you know.

Anyways..these guys were up till like 4 in the morning talking so loud. I'm not sure if they slept at all cuz I woke up around 8 and it was still SUPER loud with the bass blasting away. Thank God it stopped.

Here's a snapshot of what I have to live with here:



Busted table, beer bottles..yup its a college residence.

All white kids know how to do is drink and get drunk. Is there no other way to have fun for you guys?

January Blues

2010, brand new year and I feel so tired and uninspired. What the hell is with this. I feel like crap right now. Living alone all the way over here without friends and family is really taking its toll on my psyche.

I beat Demon's Souls yesterday, I'm in NG+. Alex and I do a lot of dungeon runs. I'm level 83 now. I lost 270k souls in 1-1. Whoopy.

Fail!

Week-In Review

First week of second semester...was..ok. Lol. A lot of Demon's Souls. Still have to finish stormshadow and boletaria castle. Planning on doing that tonight. Currently lvl.65. I'm now just hunting for ores and such for my weapons.

Also did Judo on Saturday. I'm improving! But....why do the black belts pick me to spar with al;l the time lol. At least I'm getting taught a lot and also getting experience sparring with a MUCH higher level of competition.

Anyhow, my family and I went to Buffalo yesterday. Had a good time. I got my own mini-microwave =) I don't have to use that smelly dirty one in the kitchen anymore. Ugh, the house I stay in here in Kitchener is like a pig sty. Not enough girls to keep it clean. Not being sexist or anything, but the bathroom downstairs is REALLY clean. Both girls are down there. Our bathroom.....let let Cleveland explain it: "Oh, that's nasty."

Anyways, gotta head for an Ethics Workshop thing for PBL. I love philosophy and ethics discussions....but this one will have a nursing theme. Amazing.

No Frustration Yet.

Despite claims of raging, I have not raged....so far, while playing Demon's Souls.

Wait...I got Demon's Souls? Yes I did. I should've posted this yesterday, but you can probably imagine what I was doing.

I went through a lot of trouble to get this game. The people of Kitchener are pretty nice. Thanks to those guys, I was able to get this game.

Anyways, I beat 1-1 in one try. Then I hit a wall with tower knight. I finally beat him today though solo and I beat armor spider. I was with an ally but he died so I had to beat it myself. The spider wasn't too bad. I'm level 28 now.

Also, sim lab tomorrow. Fun. =/

On a Journey

To obtain the abilities to gather souls.

I hope to be successful.

Also a the first day of Microbiology. Looking forward to this course.

Alan

Decent day, still searching for Umbasa

OK, SO....I had my first PBL class of Nursing II Sem 2, 2010. It was alright and I'm really liking the tutor. She seems nicer and more understanding than my first one. I hope this trend continues throughout this semester. Also I need to change my elective. Canadian History, I think not.

So, still trying to find ways to obtain some souls. I think I'm gettin' close.

2010 plus school.

New Years party was fun. New year, new decade, a brand new set of excuses to not improve as a person. I think resolutions are so fake and irrelevant, people tend to make these to feel better about themselves, but really end up doing nothing by the end of this year. I'm still writing a list though so I'm being pretty hypocritical. I have a need for a solid functional list with realistic goals.

Anyways school is back and they cut us no slack. I need to get up to speed with my nursing skills. I'm gonna fail the IV stuff. Lab practice is soooo boring. At least I get to wake up late tomorrow cuz class aint till 1300.

Still trying to find a way to purchase Demon's Souls. All you other niggas be owning that shiz.

Anyways, that's about it. This is my first official post of the decade. I really hope this time around I do significant things and not just say them. I even feel bad about writing this, because I might end up not accomplishing any of them.

I'll just look forward and only look to the past to remember the mistakes I've made to avoid them.
