Musings

I have already been here in Georgia for six weeks. When I stop to think about that it's weird. It seems at the same time both a lot shorter than that and also longer. It seems shorter because I don't miss my family or friends very much (sorry guys). I would like to see them but not really badly. It seems longer because I already feel at home here. I have made some good friends, I am getting into a bit of a routine, I'm comfortable here. I don't think that this will ever replace Lethbridge as home but it's a pretty good substitute.

Assasinated

I have died. It really wasn't a big deal. The girl was waiting outside my Pauline Epistles class and when I was about to go in I got killed. There is only one person on my hall left alive. We have failed as people.
Catacombs (one the Halls) put on a Folk Festival yesterday. Anybody who wanted to play in it could. I sang a song. It went pretty well.
Michelle and I were there from 6:30 to 11:30 and it was only half way done when we left. Some of the singers were amazing. I forgot to take my camera so I can't show you any pictures.

858 hours, shot to the heart. By a woman! The pain of humiliation is worse than the searing pain in my chest, as I drop to the floor, assasinated.

Some Random Things

Sorry faithful blog readers, it's been a while since I have updated this thing. Not a whole lot has been happening that has been really blog worthy so I'm just going to spout off some random facts. As I'm writing this I have just found out that I just left my newly bought Covenant College travel mug in my last class, English Composition. It's not a bad class and its getting better. We now have to do a critique on a humorous argument. That means I can watch the Simpsons for homework. There's very little that can be better than that. Well anyways I lost, or someone stole, my first travel mug and I just bought that new one maybe two hours ago I hope its still there........ ten minutes later......... Nope I went to the classroom and it was gone, I hope its in lost and found or something I just spent $11 on that thing.
We have a game at the school called assasins thats starting tomorrow. I just got my contract in my mailbox, I have to kill Zach Moore. I bought myself a sweet gun at the dollar store the other day. It shoots water at least two feet. If I win I get a whole $25, which is kind of a rip-off since I had to pay $1 to play, I have no idea what they are doing with the other $300.
I had my first test on Friday and another one today. The one on Friday was for Pauline Epistles. I don't think I did very well on it though since it had a bunch of stupid, obscure questions that I shouldn't of had to know the answers to. The test this morning went much better though. It was for Introduction to Literature and on poems. All I had to do was BS my way through questions about why I liked the poem and stuff like that. I also got my first paper back and got an A- (not bad) and I can revise it for a better mark.
I am going down to Florida!!!!! for spring break with my Roomate and a couple other people.
I can't think of much else to say.

Until next time, Goodbye!

Look Robyn, I Can Take Pretty Pictures Too





Snow Day

It snowed about an inch last night!!!! Big deal right. To these crazy people it was. The entire school shut down and some people were so excited that they went out and played in it at three in the morning when it was first coming down. Since I work on Grounds I got a call at 6:45 to come and shovel the walkways. I was shoveling until noon. But guess what, I got paid a whole $30 (American) for my total time out there . Hooray!! It was understandable that they canceled school though. It first snowed about an inch and then it started raining while it was still below zero. Needless to say it got a little bit slippery. If the cars didn't drive fast enough up the hills they got stuck and had to back up and take a run at them.
After I was done working I went sleding down the hills. That was alot of fun. Even though I cut my face on some ice.
It has been a pretty good week althogether. I have had a grand total of TWO classes so far. If school isn't canceled tomorrow I'll have one more.
