I've started job hunting, but haven't got too far yet. So my days are comprised of cleaning, watching tv, walking with my mom, and sometimes (on the exciting days!) grocery shopping. My mom and I are going to kill each other if I don't get a job soon. Plus, I need $ as being broke totally sucks. <br /><br />Seriously, that's it. I'll write again if anything exciting ever happens in my life. Hopefully, when Erin and Christina move to Halifax. And my photo course starts. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:sarahbee1982:1787 2005-03-28T04:14:06Z 2005-03-28T04:18:22Z none, just TV I am currently studying for the class I never go to. I'm pretty screwed for my mid-term tomorrow, but I have learned a lot in the last 2 hours. However, I blame my professor instead of myself for the fact I never go, because he is TERRIBLE. I believe in going to class, I truly do. I never miss any of my other classes, but I cannot stand to go to this class because the prof can't teach. Seriously. He assigns questions to do out of our book and then we go home and do them, then go back to class and he does them for us on the board. But then he makes mistakes and can't explain why he did things and everyone gets confused. The textbook is a better teacher and I wouldn't actually be so screwed if I kept up with the chapters but now I have 5 to read before tomorrow at 9:30 and its math stuff so I should actually be practicing it ... <br /><br />But what is with bad profs? Its a commerce course and me and my roommates were talking earlier about how no commerce prof can actually be half decent at what they do, because then they would be out doing it in the commerce world and making tons more money. Maybe that's why I prefer the arts so much more ... <br /><br />On a totally unrelated topic, so glad Desperate Housewives is back and this new show Grey's Anatomy was excellent tonight! (Maybe this is why I am screwed for my mid-term ....) urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:sarahbee1982:1300 2005-03-25T22:27:26Z 2005-03-25T22:27:26Z A priest on tv, talking about the holiness of Good Friday, just stated on our deathbed we won't be thinking about how we wished we spent more time at the shopping mall. Sadly, with the risk of sounding totally materialistic, I MIGHT. I have like lists in my head of shopping malls that I want to visit, in cities I don't even really want to travel to, like Edmonton and Bloomington, Il. I don't know why I like shopping so much. I certainly hate being in debt. Maybe I'm just a neophiliac (well, I think that's how you spell it, I could check in the stacks of paper in front of me but I don't really have the desire or the energy ANYWAYS its a person obsessed with new things, which could totally be my problem). And onto my thesis (my topic Charles Saatchi is often accused of being obsessed with the new also) I CAN SEE THE END. Well, not really. I still have tons and tons to do but I am almost finished my first draft, although I do have to go through and contextualize the dozen of quotes that I simply inserted because they up my word count! I don't think I will start getting excited about the nearness of the END until I get this draft done. And my stupid mid-term in the class I never go to over on Monday.<br /><br />In other news, got my first rejection from grad school. Goldsmiths doesn't want me. Its okay by me but still stings a little. I wouldn't have gone anyway - too expensive to live in London and apparently the single male:female ratio is OUTRAGEOUS! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:sarahbee1982:1053 2005-03-21T19:25:21Z 2005-03-21T19:25:21Z No Doubt Being back in Sackville sucks ... I have been cleaning and doing laundry all afternoon because its better than thinking about how much I have to write! Still have a thesis to finish, three essays, an assignment, and a mid-term in the next two weeks. Can't decide if I want to go home for the Easter weekend, either, which probably wouldn't help the work situation but I could take some more boxes of stuff home. I want to see my mom, too. <br /><br />Boston was great. Travelling with Terilynn and Elena was really enjoyable because they are so easygoing. Highlights of our trip had to be the shopping (I bought 3 pairs of shoes ....) and the Chippendales. Total guilty pleasure, but the Chippendales was the most fun I had in a long, long time. Good music, good drinks (REALLY good Amaretto Sours served by a hot half-naked waiter), and hot guys dancing and stripping THEN coming into the audience to dance. I am ashamed to admit we did stuff money down their underwear. Total mindless entertainment but we all had such a great time. <br /><br />Off to procrastinate further ... urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:sarahbee1982:894 2005-03-21T02:52:00Z 2005-03-21T02:52:00Z NONE - I am so SICK of music right now! Just got back from our roadtrip to Boston. Lots of fun was had by all ... too much money spent on shopping, food, and down hot guy's underwear. Too tired right now, will update more tomorrow. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:sarahbee1982:514 2005-03-10T00:58:43Z 2005-03-10T01:10:17Z Well, I have managed to write about 500 words on my thesis today. Not like that's a large feat, but at least it's something which is better than the TOTAL nothing I have been doing for the last week and a half. I wasn't hugely productive today considering I let myself sleep (well, stay in bed) until noon. <br /><br />Feeling VERY relieved today as my presentation is over (only 2 more left at MtA) and I also found out that I passed my mid-term in my last terrible commerce class that I never actually attend. Which means that I WILL hopefully get to graduate with my commerce degree. I was kind of scared that this last horrid class would be the one commerce class I failed and prevent me from graduating with both degrees in May. Who knew I would every be so happy to get a 60?? We aren't celebrating too much as my roommate just failed a mid-term very badly. The crappy part is that her prof requires every component of the class must be passed in order to get a final passing grade. She is quite upset that she might not graduate in May and it is made worse by the fact that her parents are coming all the way from Russia to attend the ceremony. So in comparison a 60% is just fine with me. <br /><br />Well, I better go watch Lost or write my thesis or something. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:sarahbee1982:461 2005-03-07T23:23:58Z 2005-03-07T23:23:58Z some crap by 50 cent (its on MuchMusic ok?!) Despite a pending presentation that I am freaking out about because I don't understand my topic, I have failed to do anything today. Well anything productive. <br /><br />- I surfed the lj grad school site, then I went to the whogotin site and tried to find UK schools to see how they notified people (seems to be a split of e-mail/mail but they only had 1 of my schools)<br /><br />- I read all the TV show recaps of shows I like on Television without Pity<br /><br />- I made spaghetti<br /><br />- I watched soap operas<br /><br />- I took a nap<br /><br />- I shaved a sweater that had gotten all nubby<br /><br />- I checked my e-mail about 45 times.<br /><br />None of this is making me feel any better. Granted I have never had a lot of motivation and am more likely to watch TV than study, but it is especially worse this semester. So now I think I'm going to go watch Sleeping with the Enemy.
