Midterm

So I officially made it through midterm and papers, and I did really well on everything (minus the last paper because I haven't gotten it back yet). All my marks were in the 90s, and one of my midterms was the highest mark in the class. I'm not going to expect that every mark will be like this, but it definitely made me feel good to know that my effort is paying off.

In just one week I'll be in Calgary for We Day!!! So exciting. And then in 7 weeks and a couple days I'll be at my parents' for Christmas. Time is going by fast and there's lots to look forward to :)

Into the swing of things

So it's now a month and a half into school and I officially made it through midterms and papers! Of course there are always more things due but I'm pretty on top of everything else. I'm already done my major projects for this upcoming week, and my assignment for November 6th. I'm pretty much a keener, haha. And I'm doing really well in my classes. Aside from psychology.. but I'm sending positive thoughts out into the universe about my psychology midterm.

Also I went to my interview and training session for in school mentoring through Big Brothers Big Sisters. I just have to wait for my record checks to come back, and I'll start shortly after that. I'm really excited about it! It'll fill a bit of my extra time and it'll be something meaningful. I can also add it to my resume for experience once I've graduated.

I feel like things are starting to come together! I just need a dog now, but I know I'll have to wait for that one...

Thanksgiving weekend

This weekend is Thansgiving. It's the second Thanksgiving that I've missed being with family since living here. This year was definitely harder than last year because a surprised party was planned for both my grandparents. That basically meant a big family reunion where they live, and it just seemed like so much fun. I already love thanksgiving because of the family I get to see, so it was just extra special this year. It makes me look forward to Christmas even more, because even though I don't get to see the rest of the family, I get to see my parents, dogs, and grandparents.

I actually decided to make a semi thanksgiving dinner this year. No turkey of course because there is just 2 of us and we have a tiny oven, but we bought a small half ham and we're going to do mashed potatoes, yams, and stuffing. The stuffing is from a box.. haha.. it's something I'll have to learn how to make for the future, but it'll do for now. It makes it obvious how I have an emotional attachment to food.. because making thanksgiving food makes me feel closer to my family this weekend. It's silly but it's sentimental and makes me feel a bit better.

busy season

So we're really getting into the swing of things this semester. The first part of the semester moves slowly, and then once it picks up it never stops. So I'm going to really try to get a handle on everything this weekend. I know I've set myself up pretty well, so I'm not actually worried, but of course I'm still stressed. So let's see if I have get tons done this weekend so that I feel less stress later :)

I know that time is going to go by super fast now, and I can't wait til I go to my parent's for Christmas!! :D So excited.
