School = Awesome

So, Schools going good up at good ol' mal. I've only been there 4 days yet I'm loving it there. I don't really know anyone in any of my classes but oh well. I'll either make new friends, or I'll just study hard. I think I can Come close to acing two of my courses. math 121 (Calculus) and Comp Sci 160. I'm aiming for high 90's so anything less will be unsatisfactory. however my other three classes I'm unsure about. English has always been my downfall so I'm going to be struggling with that, as Philosophy is similiar to English in the writing aspect. Phil. is so much fun, learning about the theory of Knowledge. (Note: I'm doing the theory of knowledge for my english project as well, hmm, what that? Kiling two birds with one stone?) The first day of classes we got into an argument about what knowledge actually is and if anyone can posess some sort of knowledge that is absolute. very intereting stuff. Psyc is pretty decent too, but I'm kinda peeved about it. They told me that I wouldn't need my textbook since there is one online. But the online book doesn't have all the info as it seems. So I may have to get the textbook...again. I've already got it once and I returned it. Lame
Outside of school, life is going grand. I'm starting to enjoy my work a little more again. Almost like back in the good ol' days. Still havn't found out about the promotion. They said (again) by the end of this month. Thats also what they said last month. They just all suck at doing their work.
I was supposed to go to the bar tonight with Amber and them all, but I had to not. Chris and Nick invited me to go to the bar. And I thought it out. I'm going to see all the theatres again at school and this saturday at Amber's party, but I don't get to see Chris that often, so I had to pick that one. Sorry I had to ditch you Amber, but happy birthday none the less. I'll see you on saturday, and maybe a surprize'll come along too. *wink*
As with my relationship with Rose; things are going grand. It's been almost 4 months and we've yet to even have a fight, or any kind of anger towards one another or even a sub-par time with each other. So I figure things are going very well. We spend a lot of time together, but I guess thats what happens when in relationships. however since her birthday I havn't been able to think of any kind of awesome surprize. I don't think I'm in need of one, but it's always good to be prepared.
Until then, This is DM Olives say "Keep rollin' them twenties"

weird night

I havn't updated it in a while. Not sure why, I'm full of things I want to post I just don't have the energy to put up something new.
Yesterday, I helped Dobson move into his new place in Victoria. and it's nice, less then 1k to uvic, close to a bank and grocery store. And his room is about 16' x 12' so it's a pretty damn big room. I was impressed. Most of the stuff he had was fairly easy to navigate around, but there was a filing cabinet (Weighted probably around 250lbs) that we had to move. Neither of us could move it much, but we managed to get it up in the air, and slowly walked it into his room. It really was a journey. His couch was worse though, it didn't fit through doorways and we had to tilt it this way and that and it just was a fun deal. So make it worse it was very heavy as well since it has a bunch of metal in it. (Not really sure why, but it can turn into a bed, so I assume thats why) by the end I didn't really want to move much at all, but Kevin was even more tired, so I drove the red van back into town (The thing is a beast)
On the way back, Kevin called up some of his friends and we navigated through Duncan to pick them up and bring them to Nanaimo with us to go a party down on the beach. So we find them, and they are already all drunk, and singing songs, which is always fun. They remind me of the theaters here only they are in Duncan. So this party happened, ran into Chris and talk to him again.
Side note of Chris: He is now purging everything and going straight edge. No more drugs for him, limits of the amount of alcoholing he's allowed to do, planning of moving back to his parents house so that he can save money for school in Jan. Plus he had the balls to go up to the girl he's had a crush on and by the end she wanted his number, so way to go Chris.
After the party we went all the way to piper's lagoon, and decided to go swimming in the ocean. It was very very cold. However none of us had swimming suits. So we ended up just skinny dipping. It was very fun, I ended up just sitting in the ocean until I really had to leave cuase it was too cold. They bought us food to thank us for driving them around with was very cool. And then I just got dropped off at home. And that concluded my weird night. But super awesome it was.
Tonight is Alleahs party which I'm excited for, and I get to see my Rosie again. *grin*
