Persecution Due to a Quiet Voice Should be Illegal

I'm feeling a little persecuted after my class on Wednesday. It's a very small class, which meant that since I am doing my presentation soon (HIGH STRESS!!) that a lot of that class was dedicated to my project. In fact, for the last 30 minutes of class that was the discussion. Fine. I'll tell you all you want to know about my project. But the minute the topic switched to my quiet school voice I started to get upset. My teacher went on and one and on about how I need to learn how to project my voice. Granted she had never seen me outside of class and doesn't know that I can be rather loud and annoying, she still shouldn't have spent so much time talking about voice projection techniques and acting as if I was incapable. It's not like I haven't heard any of that before, thus I was able to just sit there and let her ramble... but then she got this brilliant idea that the reason I must speak quietly must be because I have braces! GENIOUS! That just MUST be the reason! HA HA HA!! Then she starts on a rant about people's imperfections and that we must not be ashamed of things like having braces or any other nervous ticks. Oh dear... even though braces have NOTHING to do with my quiet voice, I was getting very upset at this point and was on the verge of tears. It's was like she was telling me that my braces were a huge imperfection that I aught to be ashamed of. WHAT!?!? Yea, and she litteraly didn't stop talking about that until my friend and I got up and walked out of class because we really did have to run to the next class that was across campus. I was pretty much feeling rather hurt... but the real icing on the cake was when I ran into this teacher again today and she said "I hope you don't feel that I was being to harsh on you yesterday"... and I said "ummm... well...." and then she went on about how she really didn't think that she had been mean at all (I mean persecuting a student in front of the whole class isn't a little mean?!!??). She also started talking about a friend of hers that talks funny when she gets tired.... saying that at least I don't talk funny like that person.... ummm, was that suppose to make me feel better?!?!?

WEEKEND!

HEY! It's an actual photo update! OMG! lol. So you can barely see what my room looks like, other than the fact that the wall are white and I am seriously considering repainting. My fridge is in the background, with a plant on top of it. That one's name is Philip. There is also a much prettier plant on my desk with me now named Kimberly. She's new. I got her my last day of work this summer.
Anyways, I didn't get too much work done on the weekend, but then again I don't have anything due until October... thus motivation is low. But I'm still quite proud that I wrote most of an essay which means that the weekend wasn't a total waste. I also started a presentation I have to do, but once again, motivation to finish it was low. I don't know when I'm going to get it all done in October though because that month is going to be CRAZY!
Oh, did I mention we got cable tv now!?!?! EXCITING! That may have been the reason why the homework wasn't getting done. lol. I'm very pleased with TV time! PLUS now I can watch all of my shows!! ... in retrospect that is probably going to turn out to be a very bad thing... lol.

This may just work

With over two weeks already completed, I have to admit that this semester isn't going to be too bad... if I can make it though October that is. My courses aren't that challenging, it's just that I have pretty much everything I need to do for ever course due within the same two week span. Arrg. My four midterms are within a 12 day span, in which I also have two major projects and a few minor assignments. That is going to suck! After that though, November is going to be a breeze! (I hope I didn't just jink that!!) Anyways, I feel like I should really start working on some of those things now, but not all of them can be started yet, plus it feels too far away to bother with them yet. After all, my teachers could still give me more information that would affect how I need to approach the projects... right?

Things have been going well outside of school lately too. My roommates and I are having fun together. Jenn and I go on random outings sometimes... like on Friday when she NEEDED a mcdonald's fix. lol... I caved and took half a chicken nugget from her... shame on me!

This weekend is kind of a write off for me, but next weekend Maggie is coming up and we shall have some fun! YAH!

One Week and One Day In

So we finally have internet back in the apartment! Just in time too, class work is getting heavy and I wouldn't want to keep walking to the library just to check something for school. I definitely am happy that I am getting along quite well with my roommates, and that are place is really starting to look nice. Who knows, by the time we leave it might be super cute! lol. Anyways, I gotta go get ready for class! IT'S FRIDAY!! Almost the weekend! :)

Two + One

HEY! Happy birthday to me! I just got back from an awesome lunch (free!) with a friend and decided I had to come to the library to check my email. lol. Today I’m twenty-one years old! I seriously don’t want to turn another day older. In other words this is the last birthday that I want to have… because this is old enough. There are no more special birthdays after this; all the others are people pitying how old you are. Anyways, my friend and I have the same birthday so we both went out for a free lunch at Mother Tucker’s – a very good buffet in downtown Ottawa. Then we did a little shopping, but now I’m alone again with no internet or anything to amuse me on my birthday. Plus, it has started to rain outside, so I feel kinda trapped in the library… but that’s not really all that bad. Anyways, thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday and especially those who called me long distance ;) . You guys are awesome!

Lousy Library Internet!

Hey! I'm back in Ottawa!! School starts tomorrow, so today Craig and I are going on our yearly mission to see the museums and be touristy. lol. This year we are going to the war museum because they are suppose to have an awesome exhibit on deadly medicine. Plus the war museum is one of my favorites! Anyways, we still don't have internet in our apartment, thus I'm in the school's library just so that I can survive with my daily dose of facebook and emails. ha ha. Other than that, our apartment looks great and I'm soooo excited to be back up here. Organizing my stuff took quite a bit of effort, but it was so worth it. The only problem I'm having is trying to get my posters to stay up... they keep falling down - despite using both tape and sticky-tac. :( Ohhh well, it's all a matter of getting the right ratios...
