"And we shall call him...N-Unit"
so dad andi were trying to print off a document for my homework...1/2 an hour later we had 3 copies of the first 2 pages, no matter how many times i specified i only wanted the 4th page. We had multiple papers with one strip of writing on them, and after every other page printed off, the printer read "out of paper"...riight, because that whole stack waiting to be printed didn't register for some reason...so we had to restart the computer everytime it read 'out of paper' because it wouldn't print after that happened...we also had to print in absolute darkness because dad informed me that the printer no longer works if light touches it....ok....
Anywho, dad's gettin' pretty frustrated by this point, and i'm getting bored...
suddenly he says "Ah, i know how to fix this problem" and off he goes. So i sat there andlooked through my document, and i heard Dad coming back, but i didn't pay much attention to him, until he was standing right beside me swinging a hammer down towards the doomed printer...i jumped a little in surprise...so he beat the Hell right out of the thing. then picked what was left of the carcass up, went to the door and chucked it outside. He then came back in and said, now if you want those documents printed, i will email them to my brother, go pick them up and you'll have them in 15mins"
Dad's quite happy with himself now, he said he's always wanted to do that, lol :P

"A picture is woth a thousand words but it uses up 3 thousand times the memory
Well i'm going tidal bore rafting next week on the Gloosecap FAM tour. I was all excited and i went downstairs and told Dad...well, remind me not to tell him i'm doing things anymore because I got a 15min informative lecture about how i could die, and i must educate myself, no wehere to swim, etc etc etc, as if i didn't already know that, and tacked onto that wasa lecture about the tourism industry just being about sucking people into doing things they wouldn't normally do.
Well, i was excited...now i'm just scared like i'm always getting scared of doing anything in my life...i'm sick of people scaring me away from things...i've been scared away from earings, ferris wheels, hiking, high-heels, airplanes (and travelling), heck i'm scared of anesthesia because i keep getting reminded that my grandmother was alergic and i could fall ina coma and die...
Man, people. Let me do things and scare myself out of them at least...

""It almost really brought a tear to my ear...no wait, i just pulled a Ginny...i meant eye" - Ned
Owwy owy owy, my tummy hurts.... :( ..... :( ...... :'( ....... :(
Maybe i shouldn't have eaten all those Toffifees for supper last night.... :(
Well, my boss called me yesterday afternoon and we discussed the FAM tour thing so now i'm going on the Gloosecap FAM and the Cap Breton FAM whch should both be pretty good. I hope we go to the Joggins Fossil Clifs, that could be soo cool. ANyway, Gloosecap is next week so i'll have to bring my homework with me lol, because the tour starts monday and ends Thursday, which doesn't give me much timeto do the work
owwy owwy owwwy in my tummy tummy tummmy .... :(
Uh, i went to frenchy's yesterday with Tasha and her little sister. Sigh, the little sister that is now a mature(ish) 16 year old who drove us to Greenwood :o She'll always be 10 to me.
I like smileys today
but my tummy hurts
i just want to be asleep and not smelling stale cigarette smoke wafting through my sealed shut door anymore.... :(
On a brighter note, NEd's coming over for an hour this evening. Oh happy day :D

"I work hard because millions on welfare depend on ME"
Ugh, the workload is insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, i have at least accomplished all the homework sent out for this week, which is good, because i really didn't expect to have that completed and corrected until Friday and this gives me time to start on the grand projet and the portfolio. yay, i'm enthused.can you tell? Ha ha. I have a tentative Friday afternoon internet date with my friend Nicole who is also taking the course and we're going to go over the answers together.
So yes, ahead in my course, and i've gotten Kaeli half done her Global history which means there's only 4 units left for her to get done in the next, uh, week and a half... oh my.
I've been so productive lately, it's nuts. A lot of it probably has to do with the fact that i miss Ned sooo much. All summer i'll only get to see him once or twice a week because he only has weekends off. Once i start to work in May that'll be down to once every 2 weeks. Sigh. This is hard. Especially since he has to put so much time into his teaching. I want to see him more and have him pay more attention to me but i know he really doesn't have the time for it if he wants to pass his practicum. Sigh, guess i'll have to just wait it out. How do people carry on long distance relationships? I've never understood that, it seems like it would be such a hard thing to do. I hope i don't wimp out about going to Germany when i graduate, because that's something that i've always wanted to do...but how can i expect myself to go to another continent and not have Ned around to hold me when i'm lonely? For at least 4 months at a time?! Ugh :(.....we'll see. I know i'll regret it if i don't go...but will i enjoy it if i do? I guess i'll eventually have to make a decision won't i?
Man, i can't believe that i'm already going to be graduating from university next year. 3 yrs have gone by waaaay too fast. I hate how the more aware you are of time, and of it's passing, the faster it seems to slip away. It seems to me like before i know it i'm goig to be 30. Yes, that's still 8 years away...but that doesn't seem very long these days...
hmmmm, guess that's the personal post for the last little while...haven't had too many of those over the last year, haha, i better stop before i depress myself :P

"thanks for the love of not killing everyone on earth Ginny. it makes me all warm inside"
this particular daily quote was in response to my MSN name a little while ago:
"Ginny defines love as the reluctance to kill. If you are still alive, that means Ginny loves you"
Sigh, hehee, i love adapting Chuck Norris facts :D
Well now. What did i do yesterday? Actually i was quite productive.
1) I called Dave and asked about my T4...apperently he thought the gouvernement sends those to me.... in anycase he's calling up the new treasurer and hopefully this all get's sorted out before Sunday so that i can fill out my forms and not worry about getting audtited (not to mention how it's nice to get a check for 56$ in the mail every 4 months, that's a real upper).
2)I also did Unit 3 in Global with Kaeli and she sent off unit's 2&3 last night. Today we're doing up Unit4. Only 5 more units after that :S . It's amazing how in 10 days of steady work it should be possible to complete an entire course. Is that insane?
3)I also did my Traduction homework for the week, which was not really all that exigeant and i finished it up pretty quick. Gotta email the prof and ask her how she wants her title pages done because her directives were not all that clear. Sigh, gotta love how as soon as i see french i can't think of the english words anymore.
4) Oh, and i looked up the info on the school of translation in Paris that one of my more enjoyable profs talked to me about earlier in the year (l'Institute Supérieur d'Interprétation et de Traduction)Who knows, maybe someday when i have achieved the entrance criteria [ie, mastered languages A (maternal language) B (active foreign language) and B/C (2nd active/1st passive foreign language)it's amazing how just to get into the school you must speak at least 3 languages and understand/communicate perfectly in at least 2 :S]I will sign up and become a translator or interpreter of international reknown...we'll see, i may be too much of a family-woman for that, lol
5)Cleaned up a little, the floor is slowly showing. Did i mention i'm officially moved in at Valerie's now and no longer have that room at dad's that i officially consider my own? Sigh, unpacking your belongings is a sad thing when you know some kid is doing the same in your old room :(
6)Made a list of stuff that i'm going to need to take to Halifax with me on my training days. Haven't picked out my clothes yet. i'll have to do that today. I might air them out once i get to mom's because everything in this house smells like stale cigarette smoke including my own poor innocent lungs. It's amazing how much smoke can sneak into your room when you barracade the door with clothes, put a couch over the vent that is really a hole in the floor between my room and the dining room, and stuff 2 jackets into the vent in the wall going to the livingroom, and leave your window open at all times. Craaazy.
And i guess that's about it. Had a pretty busy day, eh? If i'm lucky, today will be similar and i won't have to do any more work for the next little while :D

"It's never too late to learn but you can't teach an old dog new tricks"
Man, my internet conncetion is being slow like Dial-up today...which is funny since my computer is telling me that i have a 54.0Mbps connection and my signal strenth is excellent. whatever.
So, i got a B in english. Brough my GPA to a 3.67 i am so heart broken. Honestly. It's nuts. I have lost all ambition to care anymore. I guess i still have my grande distinction goal...but, meh. I don't really care about that. tres grande distinction is way out of my league now. And the worst of it? It's not like I got bad marks. I shouldn't even be sad. I mean, how many people get the Dean's list even once? Not many. I should behappy that i was fortunate enough to recieve that honour. Bah. yet i wanted more. Greedy i guess that's what i am. Sigh, and i think that the worst thing is that everytime NEd or Willi talk about how well they did this semester, i get all depressed and can't be happy for them. Especially Ned, he finally got that A he's been praying for and he also got an unexpected A+. I want to be happy for him but all i can think about is his 3.78 and my 3.67.
FUCK, i should not be sad. Except that i failed at my goal. Failed right in the middle of my program so that there's no hope of ever achieving it. ANd you know what's worse? This is soo important to me that i almost want to stay an extra semester at school just so i can get it. spend $5,000 to get a $200 reward and a few "félicitation"'s. Sigh. We shall see.
On an up note. I got the job at the tourist bureau. The one that i studied so hard for the interview for. Hurray for me! I start training on thursday, and i'm going out to dinner and out on the town thursday night at the taxpayers expense (gotta love gouvernement jobs eh) and 2 guided tours of the sunrise and marine drive trails (also with gov. money). Fun fun.
NEd's starting his teaching pacticum today. I really hope that goes over well seeing as he's going to be there for 6weeks. He's just doing observation this week and then next week he teaches the classes. He's also going to be coaching trac, which ihe is quite excited about.
gotta do my income tax soon. End of the month is approaching. It sure would be helpful if i could find my T4 and T5 that i'm missing :S
Oh, lastly, it seems that some people are having trouble viewing my posts for some reason...it seems to be related to Firefox...internet explorer shows it right..., sorry firefox users (lol, one of which i am :P), although i guess you won't be able to read that....hehehe. Well if for some reason you can read this, go here to make it better
i guess that's all my news.

"Nevermind me, i'm too distracted by my mini-carrots to think properly"
Ugh
Well, i've been looking forward to the event of me getting my Palmarès du recture de l'Université Sainte-Anne...doit avoir conserver une moyenne général de 3.8 (G.P.A.)au cours de 3 trimestres, and i want to the gala de mérits ce soir, just totaly happy, builiding it up in my mind you know...and i went up there, got my award, my camera batteries died when i was shaking hands with the Recteur, and then Ned eventually ended up taking a pic of me when i was looking completely in another diection, and then the group of us who got it went to get our pics taken for the newspaper and for the st.annes website...and i didn't even realise the photos had been taken and we shoved off, i so don't want to see those... plus the award i won looks and sits more like a coaster than anything, and it's white writing on glass...i can't even tilt it on it's side and put stuff next to it to keep it from rolling because it's slightly cone shapped and thus would fall forwards...sigh, i shouldn't be dissapointed, but i am...i guess that's the way it goes right? OH well, it was a good time with Stevo and Ned anyway :P
