What have we gotten ourselves into? (and by "we", I mean "me")
a) getting to know this new girl. She's cute, she's fun...she tolerates my juvenile love of dinosaurs...but I'm pretty sure she's on a hardcore rebound...don't know if I want to get into anything with someone who's just gonna end up back with their asshole ex when I start to warm up to things...
Note to all you young ladies on the rebound...if you tell me that you really want to go out this week, don't message me on msn while I'm not around, and then go offline with your name changed to: "I may hate myself in the morning, but I'm gonna love you tonight"...that's really not good for anybody (hmmm...wonder who she's loving? Not me...I'm still here updating my "blog"...hehe...that was pathetic enough to make me laugh at least)
b) putting the finishing touches on my Ph.D committee...Had to ask a new prof who I've never met before to be on my committee...I started off by mispronouncing his name...that was fun. Then I started reading through the faculty of graduate studies regulations for candidacy exams (which I will have the joy of going through in the winter). FUCK. It's fucking terrifying. I don't know how I'm going to do this. Need to write a 10 page research proposal for my annual progress meeting very soon...problem being that I haven't made any progress this year. Minor detail.
I'm taking a week's vacation. Where am I going you ask? To work. Gonna go landscape for a week, and make enough money to pay my tuition. Man, I know how to have a good time.
Speaking of good time, taking your mom to Hall & Oates is the most fun thing ever.
More hiking last weekend too. 23 km in Yoho...the last 3 km of which I jogged to get the car and bring it back for my folks...got home, showered and had to leave right away (yea, that's right...HAD to leave) to go to a kegger. Seriously, how old am I? A kegger? Meh. I got beer. For free. Abusing this point form thing right now.
