Busy, busy.

Must:

a) shower
b) go to bank
c) go to school and beg and plead for them not to cancel my fall/winter classes because I haven't paid for my summer class yet AND beg them to let me add a course, too
d) hightail it back home
e) pack
f) go to the cottage

The bad news is I don't even want to do a, much less b through f. Actually, doing b would be nice, because, hello, money. But c-f can bite me.

The good news about the cottage is that we're taking two cars to go up. This means, ladies and gents, that I WILL NOT BE TRAPPED up there! I can just take the car and come back on Saturday evening, if I want! (And will probably do, because I have to work from 2-9 on Sunday, and, please, do you see me attempting to drive on the highway at 11am on a Sunday? Yeah, I didn't think so.)

The scary thing about the cottage is, OMG, DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ALONE. I have never done that before. I've driven with my dad, my mom, PF, James-the-driving-instructor... but never alone on the highway before. If you hear about a 40-car pileup either tonight or Saturday evening in Montreal on the Laurentian Autoroute or Decarie Expressway? That's probably me. It was nice knowing y'all.

And now, to shower, because... b, c, d, e and f await.

Oh, and randomly, I had my 3 month evaluation at work last night. They love me. They really love me. And I felt bad informing the assistant field director who gave me the evaluation that I was leaving in less than two weeks (apparently, he didn't hear about it), after he kept telling me I was sure to be able to test for level 2 ($9.25/hr) by the end of the current evaluation term (ends in November). He seemed really disappointed to have to tell me that 2 days a week is not possible, but he was all "if your classes change, we'd LOVE to have you back" etc.

Also, I am known as "***THE*** [real first name]" and "the FAMOUS [real first name]". Apparently, my team leaders (both A and A in Elements and A, L and D in Fire) have been extolling my praises and I am a delight to them.

It sucks to get such awesome feedback and then have to quit.

Only four more shifts there. 23 more hours.

And I am torn.

Okay, REALLY need to shower, 'cause the school is closed on Monday, classes start Tuesday, and I need to get this taken care of TODAY. This may call for a cab ride downtown.

So much to report!

It's funny that, in the span of four hours since my last post, I can suddenly have a lot to say.

I showered!

I went to school!

I bargained with them and got them to remove my block, so I registered for my Research Design and Analysis class and dropped my Math gen. ed. course for the winter. Here is my (hopefully final) schedule for the 2005-06 school year:

My schedule! )

Sweet. This means I can work like, Monday, Wednesday and Friday at my job, come January, if I want. Or Sunday, Monday and Wednesday. Or some other combination.

Also, my A in Research Methods is official, in that it is ON MY TRANSCRIPT! :D My GPA is now 3.35. I am pleased.

I have yet to pack or leave for the country, but that's what I'm about to go do.

People to whom I owe icons, look for them this weekend. I'll play with stuff while I'm up north.
