Yes! I win!

So, in my Intro to Social Work Practise class, we did group presentations, and my group gave our presentation on Culture. I was the one that made up the 4 page summery of the chapter to hand out to everybody.

So, now, I am doing the assignment to go with the class yesterday, and I discover that the questions follow my format exactly! I got all the important parts, in other words, I got the essense of the chapter! Yes!

I like being right.

You Are 17 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

There we go. Not too many things are bolded, but that's quite all right.

Yay for scientific accuracy

So, I am working on my psychology assignment. Or rather, procrastinating from it. I am hving rather a lot of difficulty, as it is a Weetags experiment. (Weetags are little stick figures and there is a characteristic that makes them a weetag, and then you have to figure out which ones are and aren't).

So, anyway, we were supposed to foister this on an innocent child, ask them questions, and write it up as a scientific experiment. And we have to make up our own research question and hypothises.My problem is the person I was going to get to help me after church on Sunday had to leave really suddenly, before we could sit down to do it. And I'm not going to see another child until it will be overdue.

So where does this leave me? You guessed it. I am making up the results of the experiment.

Sad, isn't it?

I was a slacker today...

So this week, I have been having trouble with waking up on time. On both Tuesday (when I forgot to set my alarm), and Thursday (when I turned it off), I woke up with ten minutes left to get out to the bus. So, this morning, I woke up when my alarm went off (6:30), and dutifully did not turn it off until I was sure I was awake. Then, I convinced myself that I would only stay in bed for one more minute. Well, I woke up an hour later (7:30) with five minutes to spare until the bus came.

Well, it was decision time. What should I do? My choices were:
1. Run out the door without breakfast and make the bus in time for my 8AM class.
2. Get up, and at a normal pace, get ready for school, and show up to English 15 minutes late.
3. Go back to bed until I woke up, as long as I made it in time for my psych quiz.

I chose option 3. What can I say? Sleep is beautiful.

So I got up at 9:15, had a nice leisurely breakfast, and headed to school. I arrived in English at 10. Unfortunately, the part I had hoped to miss (Going over the short story "The Yellow Wallpaper") they only started on when I arrived, so that was disappointing.

On the plus side, I was in a lovely mood all day, and feel well refreshed.

For the sake of posting...

Brrr! Today has been a cold day! All the buses I've been on have been freezing cold, and the office was chilly today. Not to mention, the house is chilly. The only time I've been warm is on the LRT.

In other news.... nothing. I honestly have nothing interesting to take note of. However, I will say... What should I have for supper?

Yay for looking like an idiot!

So I was supposed to meet my field placement supervisor here in downtown Edmonton for a conferance this morning.

Last night I discovered I lost the address. So I came down here this morning anyway, and as soon as the office opened, I called to ask for the address.

No one in the office knew it. Or even had an inkling of where it might be. The people Iam supposed to meet don't have cell phones.

So now I am in the downtown library, waiting til close to lunch, when I will go to the office and meet up with my supervisor after the conferance. If I get bored, I may go explore a mall I found tucked away down here.

How humilating.

Later: After I left the library, I went to the indoor mall I discovered and bought a really cute t-shirt on sale for 6 bucks. Shopping really does help.

Heartthrobs and napping...

Your 80s Heartthrob Is

Scott Baio

Who's" Your 80's Heartthrob?

Now to look him up to find out who he is...
Hmmm... never see any of his movies, but he aged well.

So I got home from job placement today, thoughly exhausted, and went straight to bed for a nap. I woke up after midnight, having had more sleep than the night before already, but with a paper to finish. I suppose I'd better get cracking...
