I seem to have insomnia tonight. I was ready to drop at 10:30, and now at 2:30 I'm wide, wide awake. GRRRRR. YouTube hasn't worked. I'll try some reading.

Has anyone out there in F-List Land watched Torchwood Day 4 yet? Come talk to me in the comment.

*blink*
This can't be right! It's 12:30, and I can go to bed! I've got nothing left to do today. I'm caught up to where I'm supposed to be for reading, my computer lab is ready to turn in tomorrow (after I ask my TA a question about it), I've got everything I'll need to see the FPA Advisor tomorrow, I've watched the new episode of Torchwood (twice), and I've cross stitched.
I could stay up and do an hour and a half of house cleaning, but NO WAY! I'M GOING TO BED TO READ!!!!!

Essays are torture.
I've been working on a report about David Cronenberg for about 5 hours and I have about 400 words.

Dear Friends, Please note:
The Enterprise series finale still sucks.
Thank you for your time,

My essay is done!
That took 12 hours to write and was the first all-nighter that I've done in 5 years.

I think I have an outline for my essay! Yay for me.
This is good because it's due Friday at 10:30am. If it's handed in later than 11, it's considered late.
So, I have an outline, some quotes, and an idea for a thesis. Um. *fingers crossed*
Tomorrow, I go into school for 11:30-12ish (I get to sleep in until 8!), hand in my computer lab and assignment, go to Statistics at 2:30, then I'm home by 6 and writing an essay until I fall over.
Tonight, I bake essay fortifying banana bread.
Also, Scott Bakula sucks in Enterprise.

So, I dislike my computer prof.
For the lab this week, we have to put a box around our title using the CCS. I remember him talking about this in class, so I've been going throught the text book and the lecture notes, but couldn't find the instructions on how to do it.
I asked him after class today where I could find this info in the notes AND THEY ARE NOT IN THE NOTES!!!!!!!
I'm supposed to go on line and find out how for myself. WHY OH WHY is he not teaching us this crap if wants us to be able to do it???????

I'm skipping class today!!! Yay for me, first time for everything!
Well, ok, I'm not really skipping. My lecture was canceled, and as my computer lab is optional, I didn't see the point in going up for only an hour.
I finished my computer lab this morning. The Prof fixed the mistake around midnight (I seriously wonder about this guys competency. You'd think a guy teaching an INTRO class would be able to put a link in his own document, or, you know, be able to work the audio-visual equipment in the lecture hall on his own [without student help *facepalm*]). I was determined to do this one on my own, and I did! It looked just like it was supposed to look, and changed the colours using the on-line guide, and everything seems OK. But, when I ran it through and HTML validator, it told me that one thing was wrong. So, I spent an hour trying to figure out what was wrong, and as far as I can tell, NOTHING! It looks just how the text book told me that tag should be, and if I loose marks, I'm going to complain or something. GRRRRRR.
(side note, why doesn't the LJ spell check recognize the Canadian spelling of colour?)
Someone in my building was cooking bacon this morning. MMMMMMMM, bacon. Now I want some:(
I forgot that I still had a Michaels gift card! I"m going to go and replace the floss that I lost last night (and still can't find). OHHHH, I'll also stop and buy some FOOD!
I have to find a specific calculator for my statistics class. I'm not overly enthused about buying it for just one class. Does anyone out there in internet land have a TI-30XS Multiview calculator they could lend me?
Also, I hate statistics class, and didn't understand a word of what was going on in the math portion. How can you just change a negative number to a positive number? Why the hell do you square it? I don't understand how that is in any way relevant to the original number you got. Aren't you just making things up? I HATE MATH
right! errands now, have to find print ads for my Advertising project, then work on my computer project this afternoon.
It is a beautiful, sunshiny day and I think I will bake Banana Bread this afternoon!

So, I'm a month into classes, and it is all very, very busy.
Advertising class rocks, so far at least. The reading is very cool.
HTML is difficult and I don't like it. Also, my lab assignment for this week has been posted wrong, and the style sheet that I'm supposed to download is missing. Which means I haven't been able to do any work on it tonight.
Why is no one picking up their phones?
Money sucks. But, I will get paid next week. Then, I will see Star Trek again.
Thirsty now, need water
edit: I also seem to have lost a bobbin of thread for my cross stitch. It was there earlier this evening, and now seems to have vanished.

I saw the new Star Trek movie twice this weekend. I loved it! I loved every single second of it, and I want to see it again, as soon as possible. Anyone wants to go, just let me know.
Right now, all I want to do is wrap myself in a big cocoon of Star Trek and never come out. Also, I need a Star Trek icon.

I'm at school right now, just hanging out, waiting to start my new job. And, I've been fine about it, but now, I'm starting in 25 minutes, and I'm really really nervous all of a sudden, and I feel like throwing up.
I hate this feeling, and I know its stupid. I know that I'll be fine with the work and the people, but I can't help feeling like I'm going to screw up horribly or that I'll make a gigantic mistake.
I hate work. Why can't we live in a post-industrial society where robots do our bidding and we humans are able to sit on the beach reading all day?

I am home from my vacation!
I got in Friday evening, and have had a mostly relaxing weekend to recover from my vacation. Pictures are coming, I just have to finish sorting and organizing them.
Classes start tomorrow, yay! I'm excited! And, Aimee is going to SFU now as well, so we'll see each other lots more!
Now, I've got to clean the rabbit cage and off to bed! I've got to be out the door bright and early for classes!!

I have a job at the SFU Art Gallery. Mostly, it sounds as though I will be manning the information desk and cleaning, but that's all right. It sounds like a very casual, easy workplace, and most of the work study students choose to stay working there for several semesters. It is 8 hours a week, but it may also be less. Yay me!
Vacation on Sunday! I am very excited. There is all sorts of stuff to get ready and done before I go, so there will be much running around tomorrow. And, I still have to decide which books to take with me. I'm taking Pride & Prejudice & Zombies, as well as Murder on the Orient Express, but I have to paw through all of my other To Reads for something good.
Right now, I'm reading Jane Eyre, and enjoying it very much. (Mom, look away for this part please:) I was supposed to have read this in high school, for Grade 11 English, but ended up not finishing the whole thing in time for the test. I instead did a last minute review of the Coles Notes with one of the twins (I forget which one - Aaron or Jesse) who were in my class. Awww, high school; fun times.
(Ok Mom, you can read again.)
I'm also debating which crafts to take with me. Do I finish the socks I'm working on? Should I take a cross stitch? Or, should I start something new altogether?
I must remember to take my camera, as my dad and sister have been giving me advice on all the best places to take photographs. I am going to find some hiking boots tomorrow, as well.
Lots to do, so I am going to bed.

Tonight's dinner was thoroughly uninspiring Mexican food. Very bland, the beans were out of a can, and was UNDER spiced (which is not a condition I encounter very often.) Does anyone know of a good Mexican place?
I have an interview! In less than six hours I had an e-mail back about a work study position - and it's the one I wanted! SFU Art Gallery. Fingers crossed!
I did not watch 15 hours of Boston Legal today. I only watched 7, but I did get a lot of cross stitching done, and score an interview, so . . . Good Day For Me.

So, first the good news: My mother will not be going to jail! Hurray!
The whole cheque thing was an easy fix. The bank offered right up front to pay for any charges that my mom might have because of insf. funds, ect. I went in and signed a new signature card, and got new cheques. Apparently, my cheques had an identification number for a type of account that I have never had! Then, I took the cash out, delivered to my mom, and went to her bank. Done and done. All solved, and I got lunch out of the deal! Bonus.
I have just finished applying for work study at school. 5 applications for interesting sounding things, which will probably all be boring. We'll see how that goes.
I finished my last exam yesterday, and I will pass all of my classes, and hopefully pass two of them will really good grades.
I'm leaving for my vacation in 4 days! Yay for Vancouver Island!
Now, I have Boston Legal! 15 hours of Boston Legal! Will I watch it all in one day?? OHHHH, the suspense. Tune in next time to find out.

Because the Canada Student Loans people suck, my mom had to lend me money for February rent. And, because I'm lazy, I just paid her back, by cheque, over Easter. So, when I went to the bank on Thursday to cash my tax refund I asked the bank guy (who was very nice, very helpful, and signed me up for the unlimited Chequing account because I apparently use my debit card a ridiculous amount) if the cheque had cleared yet. He said no, but that is might take a few days to process.
This morning, I checked, and YAY! money is gone! All is right with the world: mom has my money, I'm not in danger of overspending my account, everyone is happy.
So, I had a lovely day today. I went out to Van, watched HIMYM with Corene and Aimee, we walked down to Commercial with the dog and had coffee at JJBeans, then went for burgers at White Spot (HIMYM made us want burgers really badly). Then, I come home to a message on my machine, from the bank. Very tentatively, the woman on the machine lets me know that a cheque was written from my account, but the signature on it doesn't look like mine, so they're reversing the charges, and can I please call them back?? *headdesk headdesk headdesk*
Reason this is funny: When I gave the cheque to my mom she made a comment about my signature! "Oh, is that what your signature looks like now? I haven't seen it for a while."
So, the point of this whole ramble is: Because the Canadian Federal Government sucks, I have to spend tomorrow morning making sure my mother does not get investigated for fraud.
Ari, Aimee, Corene: I might be late. We'll see how it goes *headdesk*
also: I am out of milk.

If someone were to come along and say to me, "Kim, in your opinion, what is the greatest television show on earth?" one might think I would take a moment; pause for a few seconds to think through the vast quantities of shows that I have watched over the years. Would I say Battlestar Galactica, or possible Stargate: Atlantis. Maybe ER, or Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Well, anyone who thinks that would be WRONG!!!!
If asked, "Kim, in your opinion, what is the greatest television show on earth?" I would immediately say: DUE SOUTH BITCHES, AND YOU'D BETTER BELIEVE IT!!
Due South is amazingness, wrapped in kickass, doused with AWESOMESAUCE, served with a side of unbelievable, and topped with Paul Gross and Callum Keith Rennie. Everybody, grab your mother and your dog, and watch DUE SOUTH.
I love Canada. I love Canadian television. And, I love Paul Gross. (oh, and I love the theme song, because, come on really, there are four directions on this map, but I'm only going one way: DUE SOUTH, THAT'S THE WAY I'M GOING, DUE SOUTH)
