I don't want to lose you now
So it's been a few days and I feel obliged to post. For anyone who's noticed a pattern about my mood regarding a few things and cares to ask, no, nothing's changed. I'm slowly trying to let it go and other than mentioning the condition of how it is, I don't think I'm going to talk about it anymore.
It was the first day of school today. Ah, the good old Fall semester. Of course, since life hates university students, after a summer of full on sunshine and soft breezes, it finally decided to piss rain. Since there's only one umbrella between me and Genina, I decided her need for it was greater than mine 'cause of her ten minute walk to work from the skytrain. So I just wore this lame jacket that didn't protect me from the rain whatsoever really, and trudged up the good old Burnaby mountain for my Political Economy class. It's got a specific focus on Communication and what's happening to media, based on the volatile political and economical condition. I'm actually super interested, and looking forward to just getting into the meat of things so that I have more requirements to cross off my check list. That's literally one of the only reasons I look forward to diving right back into things - I just realize that it's one less thing I have to worry about, and I'm closer to finishing my degree. Ugh, if only things could just pick up the pace a little.
Today, me and Nikki met up after my class ended and headed over to the Highland Pub on campus. I've never everrrr been there, and have wanted to eat there for so long. Except when we got there, it was closed. The people working at coffee place underneath Highland said that the pub wouldn't open till 5, and since it was just NOON, me and Nikki decided to head over to the Dining Hall. It's mainly for the students who live on rez, but overall the Dining Hall is a great place for practically anyone to eat (at the small price of 8.40), study, and just chill. After paying the small fee to get in, you have free reign over the buffet, where they have an amazing selection of main meals and desserts and sandwiches and soups and a freaking real life, honest to God waffle maker. What campus on earth has a Dining Hall with its own WAFFLE MAKER? SFU does my peeps. And it was actually my second time going to the Dining Hall, but only the first time I'd ever eaten in there, so suffice it to say I really dug in and made use of the fact that I got to eat whatever the heck I wanted. It was sooo hard trying to pace myself, I'm not gonna lie.
Tomorrow, I don't have any class. I only have school on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. On Wednesday Friday and Saturday, I've given availabilities to all of my work places ('cause yes I do work somewhere else other than xxi - I tutor for SFU's tutoring program and actually get paid more there, I even get paid for travel time for when I go to a location to tutor), and since my tuition is the most expensive it's been in a while, goodness knows I'm gonna need to cash in a little. 'Cause ya, I may have reached my summer savings goal of $_000 dollars, I'd still rather keep it above student level and always have enough to pay for my education... I'm paranoid like that :P
Last night, me and Genina watched the funniest thing on TV, which was Comedy Central's Roast on James Franco. It was effing HILARIOUS, I literally died laughing. I mean, this one was probably the best Roast that Comedy Central's ever hosted, because judging by their previous roast recipients and the friends they had brought in to do the burning, it wasn't any real comedy. For example, when Charlie Sheen was the object of the roasting a few years ago, freaking Mike Tyson was one of the people who went up to roast him... not only was his set awkward and hard to understand, it just didn't make a whole lot of sense. Since James Franco's a comedian tho, all of his comedian friends were able to join in on the burning of him - people like Jonah Hill, Aziz Anzari and Sarah Silverman. It was amazing. If y'all can somehow watch the James Franco roast, I suggest you do it, 'cause it totally made my day, and I rewatched it again with Genina today on my laptop 'cause we just couldn't get enough. Go on. Get on it, dawgs.
I forgot to mention how crowded and busy it was at my campus today.... I mean, yeah it's the first day back at school and it's the start of the Week of Welcome, but it was raining for God's sake people. The academic quadrangle was STILL packed with all of the clubs and booths and promoters, and the line up to the bookstore was insane. I just couldn't believe that I was back at school. I didn't realize that I kind of missed that busy atmosphere of busy and learning students, but I'm sure I'll come to hate it again like usual, once everyone realizes they're actually ditching half of their classes to get some rest, and all I'm up there to see is a bunch of rainfall and depressed kids. Ya, you can tell what kinda mood I'm in when it comes to school. It literally feels like I just started my break, but whatever. I'm going to be in school for the next two years until I graduate in Fall 2015. NO MORE and probably no less. I mean, it would be great to graduate earlier than Fall of 2015, but at this rate, that's probably gonna be the season. I gave myself five years to graduate from university. If I graduate in 2016, I'm gonna feel kind of let down that I didn't meet the goal that I made for myself.
Who knows. I'll probably look back on this time and think to myself - why did I want to graduate college so fast? It was the best place ever. Who knows.
Now that summer is winding down, a lot of my favourite shows are coming to their mid-season hiatuses. Pretty Little Liars, Teen Wolf, soon to be Big Brother and The Challenge: Rivals. I don't know how I've gone so long without them in the past, 'cause I am literally dying for another episode of Teen Wolf right now. I don't think it's coming back until January, and I'm super choked about that. Argh.
Anyway, there's not much else to talk about. My next class isn't until Thursday, which I think is about the Cultural Production of Music? Or Advertising? Or something? Anyway they all have something to do with Communications somehow, I just know that they're requirements on my Grad check list. Don't look at me, peeps.
Going to bed. Hungry. Sigh. I should start eating breakfast. Anyway, bye-bye y'all.
Post title is from the song, aka my jam of all jams at the moment, which is weird because I'm not JT's biggest fan, Mirrors. I've been listening to it ever since it came out, and it's pretty much my fave song of the moment, and will probably be one of my top faves for the rest of my life. I dunno but that song just gets to me.
Fun fact: if I could only listen to one song for the rest of my life, guess what it would be? Okay three hints, just for fun.
- it's an 80s song
- it was sung by a female icon of the 80s
- it's a religious song, but the music video is quite sacrilege.
Figure it out? It's Like a Prayer by Madonna. That is the song I would choose to listen to for the rest of my life, if I could only listen to one. Listening to the lyrics and feel good symphony in the background of it, I'm sure it's not hard to really understand why.
Anyway, goodnight again. Gelina out.
