Wednsdays are long and are better when the include Tacos :)

So Today I had 4 hours of lectures and a 3 hour lab but I finished the lab in an hour and a half which was nice, because it allowed me to attend taco night across the hall, which was delicious :D

There were tacos and brownies and I don;t really like brownies but I ate them because they were sweet and chocolaty and then we watched some tv and I helped Aman with her chem lab and it's nice to be able to help someone, though I dont think I'm going to get a great mark on my lab, I forgot about sig. figs. again :( my next lab will be more carefully done.

i am writing rather early tonight, but it's a good way to procrastinate :S

My plans for the night consist of Chem homework, watching Glee and maybe some Physics and English, most likely physics and maybe I'll read my bio lab for tomorrow. but my main goal for tonight is to watch glee, which will happen. And i hope to receive my nightly phone call.

Tomorrow will consist of physics and bio lab and the measuring stuff from my chem lab and possibly finally going out to dinner with the Rez. Challenge peoples, which would be awesome.

so today i had physics followed by physics tutoring followed by physics questions
followed by lunch
followed by chemistry
followed by the gym
followed by not going to math tutorials
followed by more chemistry
followed by tv
followed by dinner
followed by more physics
followed by english
followed by looking at courses
followed by talking on the phone
followed by writing in my blog
followed by i don't what.....

So today, was basic
minus major headache i have, which is making it hard to write in my blog
today i had a floor meeting and we made tye dyed t-shirts which was fun

Futon Day!

Today I basically stayed in my dorm, and studied and ate.
I also had Portuguese cookies, which are amazing.
And there was a lot of tv watching, but not much else.

Oh and we got a futon which is awesome and comfy.
Our place looks more homey now, which is nice.

I'm starting to feel the pressure
I'm starting to have doubts
and my fear of failure is becoming more apparent.

I hate not being able to understand things and by things I mean Physics, It's the only class that I have every felt lost it. Like in the lectures it makes sense and then when I go to do the homework problems, they are soo different from what we do in class that I have no idea how to do them. I have only managed to complete 1 of 6 problems due on Tuesday and I don't know If i'll be able to figure the other ones out, Tomorrow I am going to try and get help from some girls in my class and if they can't help me I may have to skip my english class so that i can attend a Physics Tutorial, because they only have them when I'm in class, and I really don't want to have to do that, but I'm feeling as though I might have no choice.

I feel stupid for not being able to understand physics, and I hate that I'm going to have to continue to take it for at least two more semesters and that's assuming that I pass it this semester and I'm afraid I wont and I've never failed at anything academically and I'm scared to. I worried that I wont be able to pass the physics courses that I need for my degree and that I'll just be wasting my money going to university and then not be able to get my degree because of something that is completely unrelated to what I want to do.
I don't care about Vectors and acceleration and velocity, it's not going to help me so why do I need to do it? Why can't I just take other courses instead, I'm sure there are plenty of other classes that are just as irrelevant to my degree as physics that I could be taking.

I feel like I can make sense of all my classes except for physics, it's the only real challenge that I'm facing up here and I don't like it and I know that I'm going to have to work hard to get through it but I'm worried that my hard work wont be good enough.

Yay for my First meltdown at University, I kinda just wanna be back home and back in high school, when everything made sense. I wanna be in my own bed, in my own house.


I saw Fame today and it was a dissapointment, but i guess minus the breakdown, it wasnt a horrible day

I just need to relax and breath and be positive

Yay for another friday!

So today was a pretty basic Friday full of lectures and boredum and me being confused by physics homework.

The weirdest thing that happened today was when I was sitting in Bio Lecture and randomly my shoe broke :( and I loved my flip flops and then I had to walk back to the dorms with one shoe, and worst of all it was raining like all day so I had one really wet and cold foot, and now I have to wear different flip flops.

And basically I have no plans for the night, well actually I may try and make my room better, It's so boring and messy and Ugh I want it to be better.

So that's all for now

Managed the day with little sleep

Today was alright
Physics was bright and early as usually and once again it was rather confusing though I did manage to figure out one of the problems that is Due on Tuesday, Only 5 more to go :) and hopefully I can confer with other people and figure out how to do the problems.

I also had my 2nd Bio lab which was kind of a write off considering we didnt have to hand in any of our results, but my lab partner Lindsay and I finished the lab with about and hour and half to spare and she also let me borrow her physics notes which will hopefully help me with my homework, I'll have to read through them more closely.

This weekend I am going to see Fame with Erica and possibly Emily and some girls from across the hall and I am super excited. Almost as excited as I was after yesterday episode of Glee, I think all football players should be required to dance to single ladies :D

I went to Nia again today with Erica and it was stranger this time, but I still enjoyed it, It's a nice way to relax and loosen up and have some fun. There's nothing quite like dancing in a room with a bunch of middle aged women and being embarrassed by the fact that you can't shimmy, which I can't, But I will learn.

Night!

Longg Day, and will be a longg day all Semester

So today was a very long day and a very tiring day.

It started off in my English class when I found out that I have to pick a topic for an oral presentation that I am presenting on Nov. 13 which I didn't realize at the time is the same day as my second chem mid term, But I should be able to handle it. the problem is : I have no idea what my topic should be so suggestions would be appreciated, though I know only like 2ish people read my blog so I'm not expecting any suggestions, but it's worth asking. I actually had chem today my prof was back, but now we are a day behind which means that we lose our review day, the class before our first mid term which sucks. On a more positive note, my math class continues to be very easy and on a negative note my bio lectures make me want to sleep, which is not good since that's what my major is... but i think it's the prof who puts me to sleep not the information. After Bio I had my 2nd chem lab and my partner didnt show up, which is rather annoying. I ended up just joining another 2 people and we gt done quickly and this time i didn't spill anything which is good and then I came home and ate and I haven't done much else.

Unfortunately I can feel a really bad headache coming and I still have two more days of classes that I have to get through before I can rest, not to mention I have to figure out how to do physics assignment that I don't understand :( I have a feeling these next few days aren't going to be fun, but at least Glee is on tonight :)
and Fame comes out this weekend :)

I'll just try and think of the positives and I'll pretend my head doesn't hurt too bad.....

First Physic's Lab, not so bad

Well right now I am talking to an awesome person, who's thinks that he's just a person.


I was extremely tired today and I almost fell asleep in Physics and then I returned "home" and attempted to nap, but that turned in a ultimate fail as did my physics homework. My physics labs went ok and my dinner was delicious, but I made far too much and will now be able to eat for days :)

I know it's short, but i don't know what to write so.. night!

Nia Night

Today was rather basic, I had my usual classes, minus chem. the class was canceled which kind of sucks because I actually enjoy my chemistry lectures. After my classes, I did some random homework and then my Friend Erica and I went to this weird class at the sports center called Nia.

Basically Nia is a combination of martial arts and dance and yoga and I dont even know what else, but it was alot of fun and you get to really cut loose and relax and just have a good time. I'm really glad that Erica also enjoyed it, because it wouldn't be as much fun to go alone. I hope to go back on Thursday. And if anyone wants to learn more about Nia apparently it's been in Practice for like 26 years so I'm sure you could google it.

After Nia I did some reading for Biology and watched part of Knocked up. i also had a slice of toast with peanut butter and nutella which was AMAZINGLY GOOD and now i want more, but i'll save it for breakfast..

Night

so Today was nothing compared to yesterday, i woke up and ate perogies and recurlified my hair by taking a shower, and i did some English homework and attempted to do my chem lab....

We also had to play tetris with our freezer in order to make everything fit and now you basically play jenga when you need something in the freezer, lol

I also played Ultimate Frisbee for 2 hours tonight which was a lot of fun and good exercise

And that was basically my sunday....
Oh and it's getting colder now, especially at night and in the mornings
Night

Saturday - September 19th

So today was a day of days
It started off early, at about 8:00 when I awoke but refused to get out of bed
Then at about 9:30 I got out of bed and I made breakfast and then I started on lots of homeworks and readings and I got a lot done.

At 3:30, Erica and I went shopping for food and other stuff that we needed and got back around 5:30, following dinner, Erica, Emily and I began getting ready for the keg-ger.

and that was no short process, my roommate Jill decided that they should straighten my hair which is not an easy task, but they did it and it also took a lot of time deciding what to wear and I ended up in one of Jill's dresses and a pair of leggings. We were all ready to go so we ran/ sipped our way down to the bus stop.
We bused yo Emily's boyfriends Nathan's house and we met his friend named Kurt, who seemed like an alright guy, after watching an episode of american dad, we headed to the party,

We arrived and had to pay our cover in order to drink from the keg, i shouldnt of bothered paying because I hate beer and I had like two sips. but other people had a lot more than two sips, people were getting a little drunk and this one guy Colby who is in my english class would not stop talking to me about how we're all going to die and that the corporate big shots are going to try and eliminate the majority of the population so that they could survive... it was a little less than interesting....

Due to the alcohol people were starting to loosen up and eventually Erica, Emily and I, along with other people started dancing which was dun besides the fact that most of the music sucked and they wouldn't let a song play through.... There were also these two guys, one named Mike and the other was formerly known as Tim (since we could not remember his name), They kinda started creeping on Erica and I and we had to kind of save each other and the continued to kind of follow us around and at one point Erica and I were sitting outside talking to Colby and all i hear is "dibs on the blonde" and then mike kind of walks towards Erica, so I quickly suggested that we go and find Emily and then i let Erica know what I had heard which was kinda very funny....

We also had an interesting experience in the bathroom, you see the bathroom had a large window and the window basically faced the keg so people could see into the bathroom so we would have to go in and block windows so at one point Erica and I and another girl named natalia?(i think) all went into the bathroom together, which seemed to greatly interest these creepy guys from Montreal, so we all had to sneak away from them, and we snuck into the downstairs of the house and this is when we found out that there were cops outside and it wasn't even 12:30 yet, but Erica and I figured it would be a good idea to get our shoes and find Emily and Nathan and Kurt.

We eventually find Emily and Nathan outside on the Grass with a very drunk girl who i cant recall the name of (i'm bad with names) and they were helping her out. Then we find out that Kurt has been "arrested" basically and he was sitting in one of the cop cars because he was rolling a joint in his car and the keys were in the car ect ect, he was also drunk and High, so Nathan was trying to sort out what was going to happen to Kurt but the cops were very rude and threatened to arrest him so he backed off, Erica and I went back into the party to get Nathan 's and Emily's shoes and we brought them back out.

Apparently the cops were going to release kurt so we were sitting around waiting for him and we called a cab to get back to the dorms and we sat waiting in the freezing cold for what seemed like forever and when Nathan went to go ask about Kurt, they tried to arrest him so we went and waited further up the street and then eventually Kurt comes strolling up and lets us know what's happening and basically he was given a few tickets and his car was impounded and he'll have to sort it all out on monday which sucks because he's not from PG, and he was supposed to work on monday and also he may lose his license, by this time Emily is really not feeling well and we call a taxi again because the other one never showed up and we got two cabs and Erica and I took one back to campus and Kurt, Emily and Nathan took one back to Nathan's place

We all got home safe.
but we had quite the night and I probably missed a lot of stuff, but it's late and I wanna sleep
night

Fridays Suck when you don't feel well

So this morning i woke up at 6:30 for no reason, and then I couldn't get back to sleep and then at around 7:30 i started feeling kind of sick and I still didn't feel better when I got out of bed at 8:20, I sucked it up and I went to all my classes which wasn't very exciting, I almost feel asleep in my Bio Lecture which would of been bad but honestly I don't think that I would of missed much.

My English assignment is kind of annoying me because I'm going to have to go to the library and check out a book in order to finish the assignment, which I will do tomorrow or on Monday.

After my lectures and my PLTL session I came home and made pasta which was really good and I have a lot of left overs, it's really hard to make a single serving size of anything, but i froze the leftover sauce in small portions so I can eat it later, hopefully it will taste just as good, after dinner I basically just sat around watching TV, I watched the 40 year old virgin which was funny.

I'm not in the mood to go anywhere tonight especially since I don't feel 100% my plans for the night are to go to bed early and then wake up kinda early tomorrow to do a lot of readings and other things, I also hope to go shopping tomorrow to get some stamps and envelopes so I can write back to people when they send me things, so keep in mind I want mail, so send things.

This is probably one of the earliest times I have written in my blog, but I feel like it's so much later than it is, it's rather pathetic that my Friday plans are to get to bed early.....lol

I still may be going to a keg-ger tomorrow, but I'm not 100% sure because my roommate Emily has yet to confirm it, and she is at her boyfriends tonight so I guess I wont find out until tomorrow at some point.

Well I have survived the second week and I hope I can survive the rest....

Night!

So Today is Thursday the 17th of September
and it was a pretty basic day, I only had one lecture and one lab which is kinda nice the Bio Lab I had today was super easy and I finished almost an hour early and then I went back to my dorm to discover something amazing.......
...I HAD MAIL!!!!!!!
and not just the mail i was expecting from my dad I also received a letter which was awesome but now i must require stamps in order to respond to said letter, but I will respond to it. My Friend/Roommate Erica got a care package from her mom which was awesome It had these window writer things so we decorated the window in our common space and it looks awesome and it was so much fun to do, it was total roommate bonding, major good times and now I want care packages so... if anyone wants to send me one, please feel free....

Chanel lewis

So mail me stuff, I like mail :)

I also had a way too big of a dinner today, but it was delicious I had a portabello burger with turkey bacon and fried onions and lettuce and tomato and then I had carrots and homemade pickles on the side, it was delicious.

Then I went to the gym and did 15 minutes of Cardio, but now my stomach really hurts :( I dont think I let my food settle enough before working out, and I hope I start to feel better.

I think thats all for tonight...
Oh and I think I'm going to a Keg-ger this weekend :S

So today was a long day and for the rest of the semester Wednesdays will be long days.

I have 4 lectures and one 3 hour lab with maybe a grand total of about 2 hours worth of breaks and that includes getting from one class to the next so little to say it is rather hectic.

My lectures we're fine and dandy and my 1st chem lab could of been better but it also could of been worse, the only minorly bad thing that happened is that i spilled some copper sulfate onto one of the scales, but lucky the only thing damaged will be the results of my experiment, but oh well it's still the first lab, and we're only human so we're bound to make mistakes.

After my lab I wanted to go to the learning skills center to get help with my physics homework which is due tomorrow, but the center was closed, which sucked because I wasn't able to get the help I needed :(

And then when i got home the fire alarm went off, which just topped off my bad day.

BUT then I watched Glee, which was amazingly awesomely cool and made my day better.

Anyways Good Night!

So today seemed really long.

My first class was at 8:30 and I didn't have any classes after that until 4 so I basically had 6 hours to kill, and I did manage to get a lot done, though I probably could of used my time a little wiser.

I went to go buy a new phone for my room, because my old one had serious issues and last night I wanted to kill it/ smash it to a million pieces, but now I have a nice new cordless phone and it works well :)

I also did laundry today for the first time and it's expensive and time consuming and the dryers suck and they don't dry things like jeans or towels so I had to hang things up in my room.

Then I did a little bit of studying and then I had to go to my First Math SI session which was actually a lot of fun and I think it's going to be helpful for studying and then I made dinner and got majorly confused when i tried to do my chem homework, but then my Super amazing Best Friend Kristy in Calgary saved me, by sending me the bestest cheat sheet ever and I was able to complete my homework. :D

And then I had a lovely phone conversation :D
And now I am off to sleep.....
Good Night!

Speed Meeting, Pizza Making and Ultimate frisbee

So my classes today were alright but my homework is kinda killer, but I will work on it more tomorrow, since I have a huge gap between classes. I did some homework after class, and then at 6 o'clock it was time for speed meeting and pizza making which was a lot of fun. I met a lot of people, and I have forgotten most of their names, but they seemed like nice people.

The pizza was delicious even though mine had way too many toppings and it basically fell apart :S

Following pizza my roommates and I went to go play Ultimate Frisbee and it was awesome, it's good exercise and it's fun and you get to meet more nice people. Anyways I should be signing off

Good Night World! lol

Sunday - First Rez Challenge

So today was all good minus my rather rude awakening at 11am, with someone banging on my bedroom door telling me that it was time for Rez. Challenge.

The First Rez Challenge was Laser Tag, and guess who won?
That's right the Blue Warheads won!!!!
We were the champions and our super enthusiastic team won $100 to Red Robin
and that was a total blast

and then there was lots of studying and then drop in badminton and more studying and then a long awesome conversation with an awesome person.

anyways thats about it


GO BLUE WARHEADS!!!

I survived the first week and the first friday night

Today I slept in...
But I have a new hatred for garbage trucks, they come to early and they make far too much noise.
I woke up and did chem Hw and math practice and I read Bio and I took notes and I will do Bio and Chem and English tomorrow. Tomorrow I also hope to be able to play lazer tag.

I also went to the gym with my roommate Erica and we ran on treadmills for about half an hour (well i more so walked) but it was good to get some exercise. and I hope I can continue to get exercise and maybe I'll return home somewhat fit or at least not a giant blob.

All in all not much happened today.....
Well a Boy called me, and we talked for awhile and Now I'm waiting for him to call back :D

So the night continued on and after i showered My roommate Jill invited Erica and I to a gathering of types. There was a party train with music and everything. We roamed the halls gathering people and then we ended up outside listening to an acoustic band but it ended up being broken by security and the RA's because apparently people were complaining.

Also tonight I had possibly the most awkward moment of my life.

All in all it was a good night :)

Friday Sept. 11 Late Post

So yesterday i had a pretty long day, i started classed at 9:30 and finished at 4:30ish.It was too bad though other than the fact that my bio and chem professors gave me contradicting information about compounds, but i guess that's not a huge deal. there was also a backyard BBQ which was quite lame, my roommate Erica and I went to it for a few minutes.

Shortly after we got back from the Backyard BBQ, we get a knock and our door and three people are there someone named Sally May(i think) and Melinda and a guy who never told us his name but we call him Moose. Now they had all had a little bit too much to drink and moose invited us to a party happening tonight at his place which is somewhere around spruceland, he did not give us a direct address but he did tell us that there is a moose in the window (hence the name moose) but clearly we shall not be going there tonight.

Erica and I also took the #15 Bus downtown to the area with the movie theatre and stuff just for the hell of it and we just explored around and then we returned home and watched bride wars which was quite funny and it was good bonding time anyways more on today will come tonight.

What I left my room not for class....twice :-O

SO today I only had one class
Physics 115 and it went well i understood the lecture content but since i still lack the right edition of the book so I cant do the practice questions. But i can get the book on monday. Chemistry and Biology labs start next week and I still must get my lab coat and I also have to get this clicker thing for two of my classes. It's basically how you can get a participation mark in a lecture with like 150 other people

Today I also ventured to walmart and save on by myself to pick up some stuff and that was successful. I also made chicken chili and dont ask me how it was because i froze it all so i can eat something homemade when I'm lazy. For dinner I had Tandoori chicken and half a baked potato, it was good.

I also spent alot of time reading and note taking for English and chem and reading for bio. I didnt quite get all I needed done but I'll catch up this weekend.

Then I was also invited to drop-in intramurals and I played ultimate Frisbee and soccer, both of which I lack the skills to play, but it was fun and the people were really nice and they didnt seem to care that I sucked. I also finally sent up my membership to the sports center which means I can exercise now, but with my lack of ipod it's going to suck to do it alone :( but exercise will be good for me, it really energized me tonight and now i dont know when i will sleep lol.

My mom is probably going to come out mid October, following my first set of mid terms, which of course all fall around the same time and some occur on the same days :S But i'll make it through I'll just have to work hard and manage my time and I think after a few weeks I'll settle into a groove of some kind......hopefully


Good Night World! (or in some places good morning and in others good afternoon or perhaps even good evening)

The rain makes me feel more at home.

Today was the day with 4 lectures and starting next week I will have a lab today as well (fun times). English was ok, but it will be weird to call my professor Jeremy rather than professor (whatever his last name was) The class is small and my roommate Erica is in the class with me. I also sat next to a girl named Lindsay(i think) who also seemed nice but it is difficult t have a conversation with someone while in class. Following English I get an hour break, in which I returned to my dorm and I also went to the book store to buy more random stuff that my classes required and I still need more. I also went to the lovely library to set up my library account and I believe I gave them the wrong extension number which I will have to go and fix tomorrow.

Following my break I had my chemistry lecture and my Chem teacher (professor Whitcomb) remind me a lot of my Old English teacher Mr. Wyatt. They have a similar build and a similar sense of humour and the both also have a strange hatred towards the computer programs that the schools have decided to use. In chem I sat next to a girl named Emily which coincidentally is the name of one of my roommates.

Right after Chem, I have math with Jennifer Hydman, who is a small rather fragile looking woman who seems terribly nice. I also found out that calculators are not allowed in the class or on any of the exams, which I found to be rather odd, but she wants us to get a better understanding of math rather than just relying on a calculator. She also seems a little scatter brained and we got out of the class late, which is not good for me because the Bio class that I have after math is on the other side of Campus and I only have 10 minutes to get there as is.

I managed to get to my Bio class on time and I sat next to someone who I didn't get the name of because I didnt really have time too. The class had a few random presentations that occurred before the introductory lecture did and the lecture wasn't bad it was just a going over of the syllabus and explaining random things about Bio 101.

Following Biology it was yet another trip to the bookstore only to discover that the book I needed wasn't there and also I found out that I have the wrong edition of my Physics text and that they right edition will be in early next week and they better let me exchange it or I will be pissed considering it is $145 book. In all my frustration I also forget to pick up something called a clicker which is basically how I get a participation mark in Biology and I believe chemistry as well. It's basically and electronic way of answering multiple choice type questions in class, simply by pushing a button

I am also starting t discover a few things about UNBC and Prince George.
1. the air is really dry
2. the bus system sucks
3. It's windy and cold
I am also starting to realize that meeting people and making friends is not as easy as some people think and that I may have to work harder If i want a social life, but when I look at my calendar, I don't know if I'll have time for a social life.


Missing Poco.

First day of class

Well today I had physics 115, and it went all right, my professor has an eastern European accent. And the class started off slowly and then I got some free coffee cups and I went to walmart and spent too much money, hopefully that wont happen again :S

Anyways not much else happened, more will happen tomorrow with my three lectures I assume

Day 3 Evening

The tour went well, I know where all my classes are. now its just a matter of remembering and not getting lost along the way. I also don't have labs for the first week which will free up alot of my time :) Tomorrow I may venture into town via PG's confusing bus system. Wish me Luck!

P.S. I am starting to feel a little homesick :(
I hope it passes
Also I'm not goin to the movie tonight because my roommates don't want to go and I don't want to go alone :S, i wish i knew more people up here.

Morning Day 3

I woke up later than expected due to the fact that i set my alarm on my cell and then left it on vibrate. Haha. But I still did manage to get up. And take a shower in the very low pressure shower which will take awhile to get used to.

Last Night, My roommate Erica and I cleaned our Kitchen at around midnight, which was strangely fun and now we have nice shiny sinks.

My plans for this morning are to go on a guided tour with Erica and then, we plan on finding our classes. I should also try and phone my mom at some point, and then there's movie night tonight on Campus and I'm Kinda stoked, due to the presence of Monty Python :D

And tomorrow,
Classes begin, and I guess I will officially be a University student :S

Sept. 6th 2009 - Day 2 UNBC

So it is day two in the dorms for and I am now actually alone, my dad left to go back home this afternoon. And so far I have done quite a few things. Such as:
~ getting my first University ID (pretty picture :S )
~ moving in my stuff and attempting to make my tiny room like home
~ Buying a crap load of food in bulk while my daddy was still here.
~ Trying to organize my stuff so it is separate from my roommates (In a small space)
~ trying to access internet in the dorms
~ attending my first floor meeting (sept 5th 2009)
~~BTW my floor is the blue warheads so be jealous.
~ signing up to be a floor rep.
~ attending a student orientation
~ Participating in African drumming, because that's how they orientate people at UNBC
~ Purchasing my first semesters worth of books
~ 10 books = $860.15 = a hell of a lot of weight
~ Saying goodbye to my dad for 4ish months
~ meeting 2 of my 3 (i assume there will be one more ) Roommates
~ and I have started feeling homesick :(


So Far so good I guess. Though I do feel like a loner, the only people who I have had conversations with are my two roommates and some random event coordinators and the Orientation, but I guess I'll be more social when class starts. I am unsure as to what I will do tomorrow, because I don't know what's open on campus and buses don't run on the holidays :(
But I am looking forward to a movie night thing tomorrow when I will see monty python and the quest for the holy grail :D

P.S. I'm kinda writing this for anyone who may care what I'm up to, but also for myself just to keep track of stuff.
