Catch-Up

OK so, here's a little something because I need to catch up for the lack of blogging that hasn't happened since my last post.

I finished my first summer semester and that was all good.

La Ronde was pretty cool. Despite all the warnings of rain, not a single drop fell while we were in good ol' Montreal. Though the roller coasters didn't really have that much on Cedar Point, this one new ride called "Goliath" is worthy of mention, because it was pretty much on par with some of the good rides I've tried @ CP. Also, the wooden one was really cool... but when you think about it, which wooden rollercoasters aren't cool?

Anyway, here's Goliath:



It was pretty awesome.


So second semester started out again, during which I had to do a bunch of interviews for CO-OP, which was crazy stressful. Turns out, I've been matched up to work with one of my former professors, Dr. Catherine Côté, in the Fall, on some research that she's been conducting. Should be interesting. This was confirmed today, so, I'm pretty pumped.

Last weekend, Mike and I went home to Niagara because his best friend just bought a house and they were having a housewarming party. That was all good. Drunken firemen in the pool and stolen bed-side tables make for a good party. Sunday, me n' the rents went to the Falls for to take dad out for a sortof be-lated Father's Day lunch. Don't know when I'll get to go home again, but we'll have to do that again for his birthday, which is also coming up...

Speaking of that... I have to work on Canada Day. How bunk is that? Ah well, I guess it was expected. Besides, there will be plenty of time to get drunk after 4:45 pm. I should be thankful Dave didn't schedule me for the night shift, cuz I'd have been PO'd something fierce.

Screening for Superman went well, despite the being way early in the morning, on Tuesday. The movie was really good too, except Kate Bosworth kindof sucks as Lois Lane. Teaser for Spider-Man looks pretty good too, especially considering TOPHER GRACE is going to be in it.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeet.

Anyhoo, gotsta get ready for work. Should be busy... working concession and training the newbie on the first night of Superman's release. UGH. That's a lot of popcorn.

So close, yet...

End of first summer semester is on Thursday. To celebrate, me n' the roomie have plans to go to La Ronde, in Montreal.

Here's what stands in the way between now and our trip on Saturday:

Today: Finish writing an essay, go to class, get a little something for Mike's mum's birthday, buy printer paper, have essay edited by wonderful parental units, make necessary changes, print essay.

Tuesday: Class, 10-1 (Hand in essay before 1pm or 5% is taken off) Work: 1:30 - 6:30. Also, must try to get some reading done for exams on Thursday. Also, cannot forget that ranking process for CO-OP job starts at noon on Tuesday.

Wednesday: Work: 9-2. Class: 2:30 - 5:30. (IF haven't ranked CO-OP jobs by now, am pretty much screwed) . . . Afterwards: Study ass off because

Thursday: EXAM # 1 @ 8:30 and EXAM # 2 @ 1 pm. Followed by a baseball game and some Much needed Local Heroes afterwards.

Friday: Make-up shift for what I'm missing @ FCAC on Thursday because of writing 2 freakin' exams in one day. Also, will likely have a shift at the theatre on Friday as well.

Then comes Saturday and good ol' Montreal... I wish I had more than one weekend to enjoy the time off, but alas, second semester starts next Monday... SO:

All this to say that... those roller coasters better be worth it, cuz I'm in need of some summer - this week is going to drive me MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD.

Some cheese with the wine...

NO...Time... to blog....

Man, summer school sucks a lot of ass. Well, not the classes themselves, but mainly the writing term papers while staring out the window into a a beautiful sunny day, and being trapped indoors, writing about human security and staring at a list of MSN contacts who are all out enjoying their youth.

Good thing Nacho Libre's out next weekend. I could use a laugh.
