song of the day: Rocking Horse Winner - When Songbirds Sing

Weekly recap of a rather wretched reading week. First off, I had to work, so I couldn't really go anywhere (i.e. Cuba in a all-inclusive resort -- damn you M.C.). This is fine, considering if I wanted to travel, then I 'd have to start saving at some point. Also, I was coming off the worst term of school in recent history, which usually leaves me in the moodiest of moods. MY friends and family can contest for this. I really hate the dissatisfaction on marks. It can just ruin a potentially good week of rest and relaxation with stress, anger, and remorse. You know, the woulda, coulda shouldas ...

I think I'm really looking forward to being finished school for a while. Since this is my first term since first year where I had to go to school for eight months, I've lost my edge for school. After talking to a friend of mine about co-op and

A roommate of mine who has a sister that is going through her first round of co-op interviews, resumes, and the whole shabangabang reminds me of the horror that once haunted me. Finding a job is a rather daunting task at that age. Usually, when you think of a job, you think of responsibility, accountability, the real world. Not really on the agenda of a first or second year student whose activities include meeting new friends, drinking, and clubbing. Co-op really sets you straight. Its a sharp prick of reality outside of the university bubble that I think makes University of Waterloo students as successful as they all are. Although, the process of early morning interviews, sitting through boring classes looking like poindexter in your tight-fitting suit because you ate too many cheetoos the night before can seem unrewarding to some. But once you get over the first hurdle, its almost like a snowball effect where pieces seem to fall in place.

Anyways, I spent my week cleaning, cooking and reading (though, not much reading). And somehow I ended up with a cold in the process. It seems to happen to me every year. Whether its the changing of the weather or reluctance to wear mittens who knows what caused this awful cold. I also was able to visit family and friends on this mini holiday of sorts. Seeing mom is always great. Her and her quirky sayings and dances always makes me smile. As for friends, Alex is always a 'hoot' to be around. She always seems to make me laugh, smile or have an insatiable. hunger for food!. 248A really misses her. I don't know what'll happen when we get wrapped up in our careers and families, but I hope I keep in touch with this schmuck! heh

As for the week to come, I hope not to sneeze on anyone and get rid of this cold by Tuesday by the latest.
