Back to school

Somehow an entire week at home just doesn't seem like long enough. I worked 7.5 hour days and yet still feel as if I got absolutly nothing done. Biochemistry isn't fun, and my midterm coming up on friday is worrying me. I have no more time to study for it. I have a presentation tomorrow that I'm not ready for and I still have to write my weekly lab reports and study for the quizes etc. for the week. It never seems to end.
I complain so much yet I love school...funny how that works. I guess it's easier to talk about the things you are having trouble with in life rather then the things that are good. I guess it doesn't help to get good things "off your chest". Anyways, I havn't written for a long time so I figured I'd get something out there.
I'm back at school for a VERY busy week. The visit home was good. A few not-so-good moments but I guess that comes with any family. It's weird at home though cause we havn't fought for real in a very long time. I guess when things are wonderful for so long a little misunderstanding can turn into what feels like a big deal.
Anyways, I should probably get to work. I have a lot of work to do if I want to have a good enough education to go into genetics (**wink**mom) hehe
Until next time....

Loss of motivation

I think I might be entering into a tough time in terms of school work. I have an exam friday and I have barely studied. I have been trying to do my weekly work but I can't concentrate. I have this chem lab that doesn't seem to want to get finished. Every week it's the same crap with chemistry. Hours and hours of endless searching on the net for answers that never become clear. I'm waiting for a time to come when I don't have to ever write another chemistry lab again in my life.
Today was a normal wendsday except that I stayed home this morning and subsequently got nothing done. I should have gone to school to do work like usual. Especially now when I am still not finished anything and it's 7:30 at night.
I shouldn't be writing this I guess seeing as I have so much to do...but I'd rather be writing this then chemistry. Now I have a good excuse. Only a couple more sleeps till I get to go home. I am worried I wont be able to get all the work I need to have done completed by the end of reading week. Hopefully I will get lots done during th day when the family is at work. That's going to take self-discipline. haha
Anyways, I should get to work. Blogging is just far too much fun

Pictures in the park

Today I spent three hours in waterloo park taking pictures of the most beautiful things. I got a picture of a babbling brook, trees that perfectly framed the sun (it was very overcast so the sun was barely visible), a bunny up close, and a duck taking flight...waterfalls and other very nice things. I climbed into water and under bridges to get perfectly framed shots.
I had to go to class but I had a couple picutres left so I climbed onto a frozen part of the water and took an awsome picture of a farmhouse with a water-wheel and called it finished. I got back to school and tried to re-wind the film...only to find that the film was never loaded properly in the first place.
So frustrating
Hopefully I can get my hands on a new roll of slide film and a manuel camera over reading week...
My experiance with a manuel camera was great and terrible at the same time. I'd like to have those pictures but they are lost in the park somewhere....
Anyways, the rest of my school day was typical of tuesdays besides me getting my abnormal psychology midterm back. Nothing to be proud of...one of my first exam marks since I've taken a stand against studying. Maybe that wasn't such a good idea after all. I'm not convinced I could have done much better if I studied though. I will continue to test that theory cause it happens to be more fun that way.
I can't wait for this week to be over. Going home for reading week. Unfortunatly a ton of work to do then too but I'll manage. Anyways, I thought this might help with the distance issue when it comes to family. I can't seem to forget the words "I don't even know you anymore" so maybe blogging will lessen the distance.
Anyways, I must get to work. I have alot to do before the week is finished and "House" is on tonight. So exciting.
