there's this thing in the back-left side of my throat that's so swollen. When I swallow it feels like I'm crushing it and it hurts so much. I can't even turn left without feeling it move, and don't even ask about eating, I've been surviving on yogurt and liquid. I thought trying to eat scrambled eggs would be OK...big mistake!
that sounds pretty bad doesn't it? this started yesterday and I was hoping it would get better but it's only gotten worse. yeah, I think I should make an appointment.

I really want to see Hairspray. I've never been to a musical before, I've never wanted to, but this show sounds fun!

It's been a really hot week, I keep forgetting how sluggish hot weather makes me...summer is really my least favourite season. Damn summer, damn it to hell. Hm, if I could, I'd move to the northern most part of Canada just to avoid this nasty heat.

it's too bloody hot!
something so weird happened this morning, I got a call from someone who wanted to know if I was interested in trying to get a summer job in Ottawa with Health Canada as a research assistant. dang! if they asked me that two months ago, I would've said 'hell yeah!"
but I don't feel like going to Ottawa anymore...
I hate summer, I really do. I'd rather have winter year round dammit.
I have a class in ten minutes and I need to find out the room number so I think I should go and do that.

My laptop is still acting screwy so I'm using the computer lab in school. They need to turn down the a/c in here man!
anyhoo, I had my very first summer class today. It looks like it'll be interesting and a little bit challenging, but I'm looking forward to. I'm so pumped about starting classes again! I would never have said that three weeks ago. the break was so relaxing and I'm so energized...plus the fact that all my final marks rock got me really motivated to do just as well this summer the B- in econ was my lowest mark!

oh yeah, I got a cool email from Environment Canada asking if I was interested in a summer position. that would be amazing but it's really going to screw up my plans! Dilemma! On one hand, I have really cool classes this summer that I know I can do really well in (and I have to take them to graduate on time.) But on the other, this would be an awesome opportunity to get some actual career related experience...and the pay is very pleasing. Also, I'd only have to give up two classes coz the rest are night classes...
I'm not worrying too much about it though b/c I doubt I'm going to get it anyway. It sounds really competitive. Plus they're looking for 'advanced students' from third year to master's who are studying environmental sciences. (i'm only minoring in it, so i'm not like an expert or anything.)
The position is called atmospheric change communications officer. It's kind of funny because I was hired by my school's arts management program as a communications assistant this past school year, and I'm comfertable with climate change issues (i took classes and went to seminars on the topic) so maybe I DO have a chance? We'll see...

wow this lab is freezing, I'm going to go now...

something is very wrong with my laptop, I think that sasser thing has something to do with it. stupid computer people making stupid viruses and things...why don't they go and do something productive huh?

WOW!!
I got a final mark of B- in economics...B- ...in ECONOMICS! Good stuff, studying DOES work! Also, I got a very interesting call today that might disrupt my summer plans a little, in a good way though. Won't talk more about this cool thing for fear that I might jinx anything.

What the hell was with the Leafs game last night?! We were SLAUGHTERED! Holy crap at one point, I could swear that the game was fixed...it's like the leafs were just handing the puck over to the stupid flyers.
Whatever. Why I'm getting so riled up about this is beyond me. I actually don't really care who wins the stupid cup. I think I'm just getting caught up in all the excitement. Every second car has a Leafs flag stuck to it right now. This excitement is very contagious, like SARS. Hey remember SARS, that was a hoot.

Well, I finally got around to doing my laundery and cleaning my room this weekend, everything is shiny and bright again. I'm going to go now and try to busy myself with something trivial. Maybe I'll try to find a part-time job. But considering that I'm taking so many classes this summer, I don't think working is such a good idea...
anyhoo, 'talk' to you later!
