Back after some time

Oh geez, it has been quite some time.

I shouldn’t bother with the updates, but I’ll try.

I never got back to everyone on how the rest of my work placement went; it went great, but that was almost a year ago. In the mean time I finished my first year of classes, got my old job back, worked my tight butt off for the summer, started classes again (resented it), moved out of my parents house, had another work placement (this thime in a private girls’ school!), and am juuuust finishing up classes for my first semester of my last year.

Holy!

I need time off! I’m seriously going bonkers over here. I thought maybe blogging again might be a good way to get some of the stress off my chest. It’s always helped in the past. I feel like I should be keeping a little brown leather covered notebook for a diary though, just to get me in the proper mood.

I’ve never been a… dedicated writer though. I’m not very good with the updates. I’ve kept art journals in the past though. It’s easier for my to express my moods with shapes though.

Speaking of art…

I stumbled upon that little gem earlier today, and was most pleased to be inspired. I want to paint again! It’s been so long. After I graduate I’m going to take some painting classes; it’s been too long since I’ve had any sort of artistic formal instruction.

But, this is supposed to be a school blog, right? I’ll keep it library related: special, just for you.

School is going juuuuuuuuuuuuuust fine. I don’t need to remind anyone how much I dislike being a student. You’ve probably been hearing me whine about it for the past three months. Don’t get me wrong, lifelong learning and all that good stuff that goes with it is great. I get bored if I stop learning, I just hate being a full time student. I still wake up some mornings in a blind panic because I think I should be late or some other garbage.

And the assignments! So many! Always due! I can’t even take a mental holiday! It’s the catholic in me; I just feel guilty for not doing homework at every waking moment.

“What? Mia’s having a relaxing bath? Shouldn’t she be researching her reference questions?”

“What? She’s shoveling? The snow will still be there after you finish this write-up.”

“Knitting? Who does she think she is? Someone who has spare time?!”

But, I just need to keep reminding myself that I’m that much closer to my goal.

Two more weeks of classes (Look tabitha, I spelled out the number! I keep getting that as a comment on my reviews in canlit and I’m determined not to screw it up for this next one) and then freedom. Two weeks, 2 more question sets, 2 more cataloguing assignments, 1 more book review, one group project for Gov, one article review, one final exam, one home page, one radio ad, one interview assignment and one career writing test and I’ll be finished!

I’ll have the extra time to work that second job I need to pay for next semester.

It’s depressing how legitimately sincere I am.
