Alright, so I’m at the library in Ryerson and I should be researching for my essay but I felt compelled to post a little since I haven’t posted anything in over two weeks.

School is officially underway and I’m officially unemployed. A part of me really enjoys the not having to work part but the other part of me is really beginning to stress the fact that I’m about to have no money whatsoever. Especially when my bills come in :S I mean, I do have a small amount of money trickling into my accounts but it’s really not enough to live on. I find out tomorrow though if I’ve got a job as an Arts lab monitor which will pay well enough for me to be tied over until I find something a little meatier.

As for other things in my life, school’s awesome. I’ve got a great semester ahead of me and I’m already underway with all of my work. Like I said, I’m in the library right now to do some research for my essay. Two of my essays were assigned the first day of class which inspired me to get my ass in gear. If I can finish at least one essay before the end of January I’ll be really happy. If I can finish both of my major history essays before the spring break I’ll be jumping for joy. So I’m getting my butt in gear. I’ve already done a good chunk of research, I just need more As for marketing, I’ve buckled down and taken one marketing course *blushes* I hate it so much, but I’ve got to grin and bear it, I think. It helps that this semester I’m finally in a marketing class with a friend and the assignments aren’t impossibly boring and tedious. Plus, they aren’t really hard. It’ll be great. I can’t wait to get my first really good marketing grade.

So life is good. To the surprise (and delight?) of my family I cooked a real dinner last night. I invited Gord and Tatjana along with my sister and my niece over to share the yummies. My father received a turkey for Christmas which we didn’t need so yesterday I decided to attempt a roast turkey dinner. Suffice it to say, I did good. I think I did reaaal good, to be honest, cause I really enjoyed my food. The gravy turned out, the potatoes were yummy and the turkey was juuust right. Not too dry, not too moist. Plus, my salad was kickass. I loved it at the very least. Now I’m inspired to cook more. I’ve got a book at home that I can’t wait to crack open. It’s got recipes that are easy enough for a beginner like me to muddle through plus some fancier things that I can try with the help of my mother when she comes home.

Speak of my mother, she comes home in 8 days from Poland. She’s been gone since January 4. I miss the lady, I do admit. We’ve been butting heads lately but you really don’t realize how nice it is to have a mom until she’s gone for a little while. I appreciate her a lot more now that I’ve gotta share the house with just my dad, lol. So yes, can’t wait for her to be home.

So that’s my life in a nutshell. Anyway, I should be off because I’ve got an essay to research!
