rant.
why do all of my teachers have to schedule their midterms and other projects and assignments all during the same damn week. and why is that every single piece of evaluation has to fall either right in the middle of the semester or right at the end? there are a lot of good weeks in the term. a lot of them. like 13 or something. so why do all the assignments and tests have to be during only 2 or 3 of them? seriously, why? and why do i leave everything until the last minute so i always want to kill myself and i'm always cranky and overtired? and why isn't there a tim horton's closer to where i live?

happilyer
ummm.
hi.
today i had a midterm in biomechanics. biomechanics is my hardest class because it's all about the forces associated with movement and stuff like that. well ... i am an english/phys ed major and physics really isn't my speciality. so i have to work really hard to understand a little concept. that is very frustrating because usually i don't have to work that hard to get my head around things. but last night pete was explaining momentum and negative acceleration to me (acceleration can be positive with a decreasing velocity when velocity is decreasing in a negative direction.. wtf?) and i just about lost it on him because i was so frustrated that i couldn't understand. i think this course will be a serious character builder for me because it will probably be the first time since math in high school that it will actually be hard and not just time consuming. i'm excited, let's not kid ourselves. biomechanics is cool. very cool. and it almost makes me want to switch into kinesiology because i realize that i like the science part of phys ed more than i like the teaching part. interesting.
okay seriously this crisis of "what do i want to do with my life" is supposed to not hit me. not me. i am supposed to be a teacher and that is how it has been since junior high and there was never any doubt. maybe the problem is that the lack of doubt caused me to not explore any other options and subsequently now that this whole science/sporty world has been opened up to me i am seeing all the exciting alternatives. there's nothing wrong with teaching and i could do it happily but maybe i could do something different happilyer? med school, what?
damnit.

oh no
oh crap.
i am already behind.
this may have been a bad call.
oh well.
let's blame it on midterms.
and illness.
okay?
so, let's lay it out.
what is the plan for this february?
1) orienteering!
2) reading break!
3) kelowna!
4) exams / projects!
what are the goals for this february?
1) save money.
2) kick ass on midterms.
3) party hardy.
4) get climbing.
i'm happy that this month showed up with some lovely weather and my period. not being pregnant? best thing ever. as far as this month long blogathon goes, i wanted to up the ante from last year but also give myself an out by not comitting to writing every single day. as you can tell. i'll get more consistent, i think. and i'll get on the picture thing as soon as i'm not bogged down with sickness. the past two days i've trapped myself away with my biomechanics textbook, a box of kleenex, my ipod and my nalgene. the goal is to defeat the cold before it defeats me and then get my gameface back on. i think it's worked pretty well and tomorrow there are some definite plans to leave the house. yes, i am awesome.

want
i don't have anything to say. there was supposed to be orienteering today but it was cancelled so instead we changed my passenger wiper blade and ate big huge pannekoeks for breakfast. now we are hanging out and listening to music and it's cold out but the windows are open. i want to take more pictures, so i will. i also want to do really amazingly well at school, so i will. i also want to go underwear shopping and maybe get a new sweater, but instead i have to buy groceries and cat litter. i am so grown up.
