"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
