Wow, I've been home for about 10 days now and boy has it been awesome. It has just been so relaxing and just so enjoyable... probably havn't gotten that much sleep over that time, but it was a great time nonetheless. I think today was only the second day that I spent the entire day at home :)
But yeah, I was able to finish all my Christmas shopping on time, actually with at least 2 days to spare too, which was awesome, and I'm hoping that everybody liked their gifts. :) I spent a lot of time with friends, and a bunch of money as well, hehe... for gifts and for well, food. Steak dinners don't come cheap. :) But I found that steak dinners are really the only meals that make me feel satisfied... other meals seem to only make me full, if even.
What else? We got a new Christmas tree this year to replace our old one that basically completely fell apart. This one is bigger than the other one by at least a third... so it was a challenge for me and my mom to put the tree up on our own this year... but we got it and it looks good... don't think anybody even noticed the difference though. :) Hmmm... i really love driving... though winter driving isn't as much fun as summer driving, cause I can't drive as fast, hehe... and I can't see as clearly... which makes me more tense... but so far so good. Safe and sound. :)
But hmmm... found out 4 of my 5 marks already... and well... I guess it was to be expected... though not what I would have wanted for this semester... But I already knew that I screwded up my semester and possibly my entire year completely... but the more I thought about it, the more I talked about it (or tried to explain it) to ppl WHY i screwed up, the more I realized that... MAN, I'm REALLY, REALLY stupid! There's no other way to explain what happened this semester... But yeah... I'm going to have to find time to switch up my next semester courses... and hopefully ace them all (A+) in order to ensure that I don't get booted from Uni... again... considering I don't think I have any more freebies...
Okay, that's all. HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone!

Stupid Mistakes
Well... that finally puts the stake straight through the heart... and I was the one who thrust it.
Anyways, seems I AM taking the wrong courses, courses that I don't require for what I WANTED to do... which was physiology... but somehow... I misread the calender and am now taking courses for physiological development or something like that?? which is based on animals... sighs... I didn't want animals... I wanted humans. So... trying to make up for lost time, I tried to change my schedule for next semester, but lo and behold... the course that I require (Physl 211) is a full year course and well... half way through the year, I kinda can't take it. Sigh... so now I'm back yet another year. So... starting next year, I'll probably be doing 2nd year courses... again... 4 years of University... and still doing 2nd year courses... not to mention... some of the Physl courses I'll probably end up taking later will cancel out the credits I got from the Zool courses I took this year. AND the one course that I need that I am taking this year is the one that I am failing at currently... and that is ofcourse, Biochemistry. Hopefully, the courses that I need are going to be offered for spring/summer cause then I can at least catch up a year and only be behind one full year of school instead of two. But what a waste to an entire school year, sigh...
Anyways, fall semester is coming to a close... exams to study for... I should be fine in all my finals... the only one I'm scared to death about is biochemistry. I've already failed the two midterms... so hopefully I do well... but I don't even know where to start or what to know... but hopefully, hopefully I pass the course.
Can't even think about Christmas shopping yet... and since UofA has switched to a UofC schedule for whatever stupid reasons they had... I now finish school 1-2 weeks later than usual, which means I have even less time to do Christmas shopping... sighs... but I sure can't wait to go back home next weekend. Get out of this stressed environment, and try to figure out my life... once again... and hopefully fix it for the better this time round.
Anyways, guess that's all.

Cram Time
Well, it's that time of the semester again. Two weeks of too much to do and not enough time to do it in, with the holidays looming in the horizon making it that much harder to focus... not that I've had any focus whatsoever this semester. But yeah, I wrote my Bio 201 third midterm (also final exam) today, and wow, that was a lot harder than I thought it would be... but hopefully I did well, or... at least passed. :) But yeah, didn't study too much on Bio, cause I had my Zool 224 Lab Final Exam today, and wow... 3 hours worth of identifying fish, reptiles, birds and mammals by their order and common names, and so much more stuff, it's crazy. But I think I did pretty good. Not 100% for sure, probably not even 75%... but I'm sure I passed, which is good, cause that lab was brutal for me. I think I even got all three bird calls identified properly, so that's pretty awesome. But for the next week or so, it's going to be study, study, study. And I mean it. I need to do well in all my final exams... well... maybe just Biochemistry. But yeah... that's the last exam for me, so hopefully with all that time, I can finally learn and understand biochem enough to get a decent enough mark to help me pass the course.
But yeah, I guess that's all I have to update for now... oh... and I guess I'll stick with University life for the time being... in the end, it seemed like that was where I was meant to be. So far, I still don't quite know what I'm to become... but I guess that if I stick it out where God put me and actually put in 100% of my effort, then I would end up where he would want me to be. I can't keep expecting to be brought somewhere without actually doing anything for it... but yeah, I got the new Jeremy Camp - Restored cd and the Mercy Me - Undone about... two weeks ago. They're both really good cds.
Hmmm... oh yeah, and I'm sick right now, which sucks. It really sucked trying to write two exams today with a sore throat and a runny nose, cause man that is so irritating... I mean, I couldn't blow my nose or anything, and it was so annoying... probably to everybody else around me to... always having to hear me sniff and everything... but yeah... hopefully I will get better by next monday... my first final...
okay, that's all for now. I think this is like my first post that wasn't EXTREMELY long and this one actually just has a bunch of me talking nonsense... nothing serious, or nothing concrete... not even a structure to it... sighz...
