My dog stole a muffin wrapper from the table, he just stole raisins I picked out of a breakfast pita off the table, now he took a tim hortons wrapper off the table and is ripping it to shreds. Puppy is a pig!
Friday, I woke up later on...again...I'm getting into this depressing habit of getting up around 9am. That's late for me. I want to start getting back up at 7am but I just can't seem to motivate myself to get out of bed. I wake up and this overwhelming feeling of "why bother", every day. I don't know why! It sucks. It's a depressing sort of feeling. So, I try to convince myself to get up. "Well....you have to study today"...YIPPEE....nope.."well...you have to work-out"..bLAH..."walk the dog??" ughhh...bah.
Anyway, spent the later morning/early afternoon at the gym with Rob. I worked out longer and harder today because I hadn't worked out in the past 2 days due to my essay and laziness. I did the stair stepper, the rowing machine (pth, cardio is not hard enough), ran on the track, practiced some highland in a corner, and did some weights and sit ups.
Showered up, I went to drop a few books off at Robarts and just wandered around the area, taking my time to get to the dining hall for lunch. After lunch, we went back home and I walked the dog.
I got a catalogue/course book for Flemming college. It's funny...college programs...even univesrity programs...you come out-after paying these jerks thousands and thousands of dollars, sometimes students being about 60,000.00 in debt--and you come out making less than what you get on welfare! WTF is that. No wonder so many people tell Canada to stick it and leave.
I think it's utterly depressing. Especially when our jobs are being sent overseas. You had better find a career that isn't exportable!!
I was sort of interested in the museum curator program....and the geology technicians seemed pretty cool. Apparently GIS specialists are in demand..but it looked so boring. Yeah..college...lately, I've been feeling like I'll never be Oxford-material, so what's the point. Maybe teacher's college...I'll apply to that, too.
We went out to Yonge and Eglinton to see Alexander--only because it was the only matinee show we would make that day, otherwise we would have just gone to Paramount. I got some apple cinnamon breakfast mini pita's and Rob got some quaker mini's things and water (I know, we eat weird movie snacks) and went to the movie. I bought a tea inside the concessions place. The movie was okay. So much was wrong with it. Seeing the Ishtar gate was pretty cool though, for all you Assyriologists....*crickets*...okay so it's just me. Okay..one thing..WHY was everyone Irish in alexander! I know they usually use British accents for these sorts of movies..but irish accents??? Was it to help cover up the fact that Colin would never be able to hide his melodic irish accent?? Even if he managed to hide it more, the likes of me would have been able to hear it. Mine ears are good.
My headache returned before the movie started. I was not pleased.
When it was over, we took the subway down to Union and went to Tim Hortons with the prospect of having some more of those beef stew bowls. Damn them, they were out of bread bowls! I just had the chicken soup and bun and brought home a tea and a low fat blueberry muffin. Rob had the stew in a normal bowl-damn them.
We talked about things but the music was so loud for some reason, and my headache worsening, that we just went home. Took the dog out, had my muffin and tea, read, had a hot chocolate in milk and read until finally I was tired enough...and I went to bed.
I'm writing this as I wait for Rob to get ready so we can go to breakfast. I have to put a few hours at the library to study. Sigh.
Maybe i will do my exchange to McMaster next year instead. Still way fricking cheaper than living here.
Ugh, Toronto.
I'm really not in a bad UGH mood! I am just getting out the things that are , hahaha.
Anyway, time to study-hard-core! So I can get these tests over with and go home!!!!
