university bound.

It’s been a while since my last post. I guess I haven’t done anything blog-worthy? Ha. Well, my status on the Simon Fraser site finally changed to say that I’ve been accepted. As long as my performance in English doesn’t cause my GPA to drop (which it might - depends how I do on the last essay and the final, really), I should be going in September. Finally, university. When I was younger, I suppose I just assumed that I would be going to university right away. Too bad I was a slacker in high school. Too bad I’ve been a slacker my entire life. I’ve always felt so stupid not going to university when all of my friends from high school were accepted into university straight from secondary. I always hate that conversation that I have with their new friends. “So, what school do you go to.” “Kwantlen.” “Ohhh.” Always with the same tone. Like, “Oh, that’s all right!” Meh, no one to blame but myself, right? Could’ve easily gone straight to UBC probably. But no, I always had more important nothingness to do. Well, as Inkai said to me, “All your years of procrastination has paid off!” Story of my life, eh? I’m looking into upgrading my math at VCC. Looks like it’s going to take me a full year just to catch up on my high school math. My brain will melt. Although I don’t think I’m actually bad at math, I’m just bad at doing the homework. I don’t know how easy it will be for me to get back into it though. Last time I did math was 2003. Sigh. I’ve been trying to organize my life to relocate to Burnaby around the beginning of May. Passed out resumes like crazy; no replies yet. Way pointed out that the new Shoppers Drug Mart was hiring. I went all the way out there on Saturday to apply, only to find that there was no way TO apply. A nice big sign saying NOW HIRING, but the store is empty (nowhere close to opening) and there’s no e-mail or website or anything. Confusing much? Hire me someone, pleeeease. I’ve been contemplating whether I should live on my own or on campus. I’m leaning towards living on my own. More expensive in the long run I’m sure, but I value my privacy. I do like the social aspect of residence… but maybe I could just join a club or two to enjoy that. I don’t want to leave my belongings (ie furniture etc.) with my father anyway. I’ll have to look for places soon… I’ll probably end up in a basement suite. I have to clean up the apartment soon so I can have the apartment manager over to do the inspection that she was supposed to do in October. Oops. I’ve kept putting it off since my place is kind of disgusting. And there’s stains on the (brand new) carpet that I’ll have to take care of somehow. I’m hoping that she’ll still have the heart to give me a reference. I was going to specify tomorrow as apartment cleaning day actually. Seeing as it’s quarter to three in the morning right now, I don’t know if that’s going to happen. I hope the “no pets” that I see on so many listings mean dogs and cats, so that I can still have my hamster. I don’t know what I’d do with her otherwise. I’m sure I could sneak her in anyway if I needed to? Meh. I feel like I have more to say. But it’s time to sleep.
