Things I dislike:
Essays that I don't care about. "What does Environmental Citizenship mean to you" well we've been debating that all class, and we can just regurgitate course material or really research and regurgitate all the other approaches to it...either way, the result is a throw-away essay. And maybe the point is to see what we've gotten out of it, or even that the essay is supposed to be for our own articulation and understanding, but then that makes it more of a formal journal entry. And this class already requires upwards of 70 pages of journal entries. Just..why bother? Grades, of course.
Things I like:
Making new friends. Warm beverages and conversation, romping in the new snow, finding brilliance in simple interactions. Pretending to be a soldier and slithering under snow-laden branches of once leafy shrubs, rolling down the hill as ungracefully as possible, endless snowballs warfare. Laughter.

Well
I am feeling very drained right now. Not sure why - I've been making an effort for the past 4 or so days to get 7-8 hours of sleep each night. And I think I'm eating well. This morning I took the time to make a decent lunch so as not to have to buy one at the school. Then I ran down to the bus stop..and realized once I was there that I'd forgotten my lunch. So I walked back home, got my lunch, and caught the next bus instead.
I think I would like some caffeine.
Peer Support hours right now; class at one (we're doing a walking tour of UNBC facilities in my Environmental Citizenship course) then another class at 2:30, then group meeting at 3:30. Then I have tickets to the Aboriginal Storyteller's Festival Gala tonight, which should be pleasant.
Last night Anna and I were working together (we work together every Thursday evening, so that's not the point of the story). But we were joking quite a bit and somehow got to the idea of having a mirror that looks like those glass set-ups in prisons, for visitors to talk to inmates? And the mirror would be like that and have a fake phone and everything.
You know, a little while ago, I had a Red Robin dream in which I was actually not working! I know! It was glorious! But then last night I had a GALLERY bad work dream...so many kids, so much to do, and no one would leave! Agghh...the torch has been passed, I guess.
I might go get some caffeine.
cheers

I feel like I'm living from buzz to buzz. Like, things in my life that are supposed to be important (namely, School) seem like obligations.
I feel like I have the temperment for an addictive personality. That's why I'd prefer not to get into anything explicitly illicit.
Right now, the drug of choice is caffeine. Alcohol has actually taken a backseat, probably due to lack of availability and the fact that I can't chug it down and head off to class with a temporary little buzz flitting pleasantly around my head, as is the case with caffeine.
There's other things...like, you-know-who, that I wonder if I'm just pursuing for the buzz. Very good chance.
I feel like a fraud, sometimes. Feel like I'm a failure clinging on to a fake 'good student' image. Like...things are fairly easy now. Either I change my ways, or crash and burns when things actually get really difficult.
Maybe it's just a bad morning. Maybe I'll feel better later. Probably. usually happens. But right now.... dang.
Hm that was almost exactly 5 minutes.
