out of my head - elise's journal

Warning: This post has the potential to become very positive. If you usually avoid things that are upbeat, do not continue reading.

I'm still in my pyjamas, on a morning where I was supposed to be productive. It's 11h43. However, I feel like a big weight has been lifted off my shoulders. A change from the panic I felt when I woke up this morning (you know, the feeling that you forgot something, or are late?).

I've been in over my head with school work lately. It's novel after the other, essay after the other, project after the other. I have decided not to read the last novel assigned for my Canadian Lit class (because I just don't feel like it anymore, and don't have time) and I've done my part on the last (group) project I have to hand in. All I have to do now is write 2 essays. Ok, it's still a lot, but less than I had previously.

The other weight on my shoulder lately has been my upcomming exam period. I met my Canadian Lit professor monday during her office hours. I didn't need to convince her twice to give me the exam on another date. She was outraged that the Faculty would not do anything with such a horrible schedule. She even asked me when it would be preferable for me to write it. I decided on before my other exams. It's the biggest one, so might as well write it first, when I'm still fresh.

And finally, I've had these other non-school-related things that have been stresing me out. The first one is preperations for my trip to England. There are things that need to be looked into at the moment, like Visas and flights. It turns out I don't need a Visa, and I am one step away from booking my flights. I'm very glad that that's settled. I think it was my biggest source of stress. I was shopping around for prices... I want to get the best deal. And then there is this spaghetti lunch I am organizing with my level 2 cooking class. It's this saturday. I still have stuff to do for that, but the biggest part of the job is done.

So now my mind is (almost) clear (because it never really is). It will be easier to sit down and write my essay. I think I'll work outside for a while, it's nice, warm and sunny. I love the spring. Even the gross smell brings back memories: me in my duck shoes (remember those?), with my new pink skipping rope, skipping with my sister in the drive way.

Spring music: Keane (Everybody's Changing, and basically all of there songs).

Thanks Kass and Jazzy for the comments and encouragements. Everwood was really good, don't you think Kass?

Hey!
Tu as raison, les deux épisodes d'Everwood étaient pas mal bons. Je voulais tellement qu'Amy et Ephram soient ensemble par contre... Mais j'aime bien la nouvelle storyline qu'ils sont en train de développer avec Amy. Et dernière chose: après presque 4 mois de hiatus, j'ai réalisé que j'adorait la chanson du générique du début... C'est incroyable comment des seules notes de musique peuvent déclencher des émotions chez quelqu'un!

Je suis contente de voir que tu as pu changer ton horaire d'examens! Tu es chanceuse d'avoir une enseignante compréhensive :) D'ici là, bonne chance avec le restant de tes travaux :)

Kass

Uh I loved Everwood when it aired here. Our networks have a habit of discontinuing airing a season or show, which majorly sucks if you happen to get into any of them... like I usually do. Anyhow, not much we can do. Buy DVDs I guess.

I am finally back online properly now, got my cable net back, it arrived today and I decided to set it all up when I got home. jaz xxx

Uh looks like you have a lot of things to do. I wish you luck with all the essays and work. Free time during studying semesters is a luxury. :)

I got so much free time at the moment but never know what to do with it, which is so silly, Im literally wasting it. Hmm..
