A very happy birthday goes to my dear friend Leah. She turns twenty today, so everyone go wish her a happy birthday

Excuse my dust. I’ve moved servers (ie, I’ve moved web-hosting companies) so things are a little wonky-looking right now. Pay no attention to the funky strings occuring around the site. That just means I haven’t gotten around to fixing that just yet. Oh, and nothing other than the blog has been imported. I’ll let you know when that’s up.

God, this was (almost) more effort than it was worth :S

ETA: the rest of the website apart from the collective is back up and running. It’s past midnight. I couldn’t be less inclined to do anything else right now.

Happy first anniversary, Gloryfades.org

It’s my birthday. I’m now twenty years old. It’s also quarter to four in the morning. So I’m going to sleep! Gnight!

You should see my desk right now. It’s strewn with papers and a fifty-six page timetable calendar from McMaster. I’m so glad I found this thing. I don’t understand why Ryerson wouldn’t schedule all of it’s classes for Fall, Winter and Spring semesters like this. That way you can pick and choose when you want your classes, instead of waiting until you’re given your schedule to find out when Ryerson thinks you should have your classes. God, it’s so frustrating.

I’m mainly frustrated, though, because my school hours and my work hours are conflicting. I don’t know if I can keep my job at the bank and I’ve only worked three days :S Thus far, though, I have missed two classes and will miss another two on Friday. There’s only four weeks left in this semester, but I honestly don’t know if I can stick it out that long without going to all of my classes. Haha, I can hear some of you laughing … Not like you’d go anyway … yeah, well at least it’s on my terms when I don’t go, not the banks

That being said, I’m not having a terrible time at work. It’s been mostly all training these past three days and promises to be more training for the next few weeks. The first two days I stood behind a real CSR (customer care representative) and watched her do her thing. Yesterday I sat in an office for four hours working on these training programs on a computer. I went nearly bug-eyed by the end of the shift cause it was so boring. Today promises to be another fun five hours of that sort of thing. I’m nervous because I have to finally confront my boss about these hours and I’m frightened of how angry she’ll be. It took them so long to get my ass into this job and now I’m not going to even be able to work it? Oh man, they’ll blow up, I can feel it.

So I have emailed all of the professors of the courses I wish to take at McMaster in January. They are all history courses:

+ Early Modern Britain
+ Historical Antecedents of Globalization
+ Introduction to the History of Art (guilty pleasure, I love art! :))
+ Europe from 1789 - 1945
+ The United States in the 60s

Hopefully all of them are transferable. Cross your fingers for me guys!
