Aight, so I was told almost two months ago than in all likelyhood we would be allowed to go a week early than the scheduled end of semester. Thus I arrange all my plans around moving home this sunday; End all the bills, contact the landlord, sell all the requred items, find the necessary moving help and purchase just enough food to last me to the end on sunday. Then today while be let go early, we're told to have a nice weekend and that she'll see us on monday.
And from that moment and continuing til the writing on this post I have been pissed off. There is absolutely nothing to be gained as a student from going in next week as we've finished all of the necessary items that need to be completed as students in our clinical year and therein lies my biggest quam. (Edited due to over excessiveness) . Most times I've let it go because I'm an easy going individual but, when I have to replan all of the items mentioned on account of her making ridiculous decisions, I start to get a little angry about it.
Needless to say, I'm pretty certain that all words exchanged with her next week will be short and brief. (Also edited).
Closing comments:
- WTF is this sh*t. Jebus.
- My kingston trip this weekend is being cancelled since everyone is out of town. Think I'll be rescheduling for tuesday night provided I get off that day.
- Some things surprise you more than others. Some events surprise you more than others and some people have some unexpected surprises.
- I might put off my move to Vancouver by a little bit in favour of staying for thanksgiving. So depending on what happens in the next few weeks, my departure date might be the 9th and my start date date would be the 16th.
- The apartment seems so lifeless without all my trinkets and posters. I guess its all relative to how each person lives in the end as some people might enjoy seeing their walls without posters plastered all over them.
- You can put posters in the kitchen right? I remember having this discussion a while back but have always gotten mixed answer on that.

Been a while but its been warrented
As per usual its late and I'm posting. That being the case I will attempt to keep this as short as possible to maximize sleep.
I've been studying for exams lately which is why the posts have been kept to a minimum. Needless to say I've still done a few noteworthy items which might be of a reader's interest.
During the long weekend, I mainly studied as I'd set out to do. However, to keep from completely going insane from pure studies, I went to the highland games on the friday night as I had half planned to do. Now because, I was with one of my co-student friends and his fiancé, I didn't get too rowdy but I still had good time as I ran into some familiar faces who I hadn't seen in a long time and got to throw a few half filled beer cups around. But after all the fun was done, it was back to studying.
Truthfully, it sucked to have given up a beautiful long weekend for the books. But, as the fates would have it, the trade off I made in favour of going to Muskoka this past weekend was well worth it. The twelve hours on the road, was all worth it. In the end there was nothing super special and out of the ordinary that occured. It was just the company amongst old friends that I've grown up with that made it all worth it. That and some Ouzo. ;O)
The exam ended up going well and all the studying paid off. The other great part is that this was the last major thing that needed to be done and now I just coast til the end.
Tommorrow is the student celebration which includes dinner and a little house jam. There is a possibility that we may even frequent a bar and visit the locals. Then from there, there is just one week left before my tenure in Cornwall is over. The end has come at last.
Closing thoughts:
- Instead of any actual thoughts, I'm just gonna use some song lyrics to fill space that I thought would make good titles to posts
- "You ask me if I've known love and what it's like to sing songs in the rain"
- "I wanna have the same last dream again"
- "But if I don't come back then I won't look behind me"
- "It is truth and love and it is always there"
Current Song: Hinder - Lips of an Angel
Current Mood: Satisfied
And of course, a video...

"I don't feel like Satan, but I am to them"
After being somewhat lured back to the song 'Rockin in the free' World by an MSN handle of Mr. Yau's, I find myself unable to stop listening to it at the moment. There's something entrancing about the lyrics and the beat of the song that entrance. I also have several versions/covers which included one by one of my high school teachers and a school band which has a nostalgic element and adds to my enjoyment of the song.
Nothing too exciting happening in the world of Zout these past couple days. I went home this past weekend to take some stuff home and recharge the batteries. It's true that I have not been doing much and as such I shouldn't have been as tired as I was, but I think the recent surge of heat and humidity has been taxing on my sleep since I don't have AC. Thus a trip home, which has the excellence of AC, allowed me to get a few good nights of real good sleep.
We also had the oppurtunity to go out as a family (immediate as well as cousin's family who is like a brother to me) for dinner. My seven month old niece was present and everyone was giving her copius amounts of attention as is usual when she's present. I often question why it is that people abandon all forms of higher intellect and reduce themselves to 'baby talk' around babies but at the same time, I did the exact same. She's cute, quite cute.
I was orginally planning on attending the majority of the Highland games this weekend but have since changed my mind for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, I have a big exam in two weeks and think that four days off provides for an excellent chance to get into a good chunk of material. The other, which relates to the first, is that I am heading to Muskoka the next weekend for the celebration of Mosie's 25th B-day! I might still end up going on friday though and taking in the surroundings. It's 50/50 as of this moment.
Closing thoughts:
- It occurs to me more each time I make a long drive about how comfortable I am doing it and how it's nothing anymore.
- Does anyone actually care that Lance Bass is gay? Didn't everyone assume most members of boy bands were brady since they were in boy bands?
- I can almost see the finish line. Just 2.5-3.5 weeks left!
- There have been two wickedly intense thunderstorms in the past two nights? Where does all this rain come from?
- "That's one more kid that will never go to school, never get to fall in love, never get to be cool"
Current Song: Neil Young - Rockin in the Free World (duh)
Current Mood: Tired (another late night post)
