CIBC run for the cure

Tuesday, September 26th, 2006

I did the Terry Fox run. Now I’m going to run in the CIBC run for the cure. This one is specifically to end Breast cancer. Of course its for cancer research. My aunt Jeanne was just diagnosed with Breast cancer and she is now recovering from a double mastectomy. She’s doing well by the [...]

The essay is done

Monday, September 25th, 2006

So I finished it. I got to class 15 minutes late, but it was for a good cause. I must say that I have never felt like an outsider so much as in that Walcott class.  Walcott talks about are the themes that are closest to my heart and to listen to a class of [...]

Essay due!

Sunday, September 24th, 2006

I’m in the library now, its 8:00 and I’ll probably be here until this place closes down at 11. I have an essay to finish that is due tomorrow. It’s not a very long essay to complete, but it is based on the incredibly thick prose of Derek Walcott. The prof is a bit nebulous [...]

Fun Saturday

Saturday, September 23rd, 2006

Today was ISAY funday. It was looking like the weather wasn’t going to cooperate with us today. We were dreading this day for weeks now. The long term forecast made it seem unlikely that it was going to be safe to even step outside. Even today accuweather said there was going to be thunderstorms in [...]

Too Hip to Hop

Wednesday, September 20th, 2006

Went to the hip-hop beginners dance class at Tait today. I was quite shocked to see a white girl leading the class. She’s got the moves, I’ll give her that. The lingo needs some work. But this is a dance class and I can’t really expect her to be all black. Whether or not I [...]

No more complaining

Tuesday, September 19th, 2006

You know something. He’s right. I should organize my time better. First thing to take off is bitching and moaning. No one gives a rat’s eye lid any way. This bitching session will be my last. I just got a lecture from a friend regarding why I didn’t go out Saturday night. School I say! [...]

200!

Sunday, September 17th, 2006

Hello, welcome to post 200. The Terry Fox run went well. Ai, who is also in ISAY, decided to run with me. We both did the entire 10k. I ran it in 67 minutes and 15 seconds. Ai finished a good couple of minutes before me. For those who supported me: Thanks. I wrote an [...]

Post 199

Saturday, September 16th, 2006

Terry Fox run tomorrow. My mother emailed me in a panic. The 10k going to kill me!! Maybe, but at least its for a good cause. I have friends and family who have this disease. At least this is something. I’m already looking forward to the next run in fact. The CIBC Run for the [...]

Friday

Friday, September 15th, 2006

Just came from watching X-Men 3. They have these wonderful free movies on campus and it fits in at a really good time for me. I can catch my breath and say whew. That being said, X-Men turned out to be a pretty bad movie. Poorly written, nice effects. They killed off a hell of [...]

Buzzsaw

Thursday, September 14th, 2006

School has started with a bang. I have around 100 pages to read for each class, and I have 5 classes. I’m already behind. And this is the first week. Crazy. I wanted to go to pub night but I’m exhausted. I tried to go clubbing Saturday past, but that didn’t go so well. What [...]
