Three Quarters

I feel a little relieved.
I even feel some weight off my shoulders.
I feel like I need a massage.

Yes, that last one hits the spot. Three quarters, 3/4 papers tackled; now its just the waiting for the prof to tell me it really was a touchdown. I can't express my gratitude enough towards tomorrow being the last day of class-for the week at least. Even thought Fall break won't be much of a break for me, at least its class-free.

I also have work on Remembrance Day and this Friday. I thought I ask for some extra shifts seeing that I have a break, and since I want to earn some extra money (pay & a half on Remembrance Day (but of course this day is not about the money, even though it is an holiday (Speaking of which, I lose my poppy EVERY year))). I kind of feel stupid for asking for these shifts, seeing that I have work to do, but despite working part time this term for the very first time of my university experience, to my surprise, I find myself working harder.

My theory is that since I know I have days during the week where I won't be able to do any school-work, at least bare minimal, I try to get as much done as I can on days that I don't have work or anything planned. Smart am I not? but it is tough, its definitely been a test of time-management and priorities lately.

To be honest, I miss my friends, I miss being able to spend time with them and talk about random things, do random things, be spontaneous, and just see them basically, but I find myself not calling them up or finding them in my spare time because I'm so school-oriented (which I remember I said I didn't want to happen prior to starting post secondary :( ) and my spare time has been filled with what I need to get done.

This weekend I had a taste of the good ole days and I realize how bland my social life has become. To all my chums I haven't contacted or spoken to in a while, Sorry.

These bitter days will soon go away.
