My foot...And my arm...Both right side.
On Thursday, somebody stepped on my foot at work. It hurt, but it wasn't really an issue. This morning, I was running to make sure I caught the bus and I felt my foot crack. It's sort of been bugging me ever since. It doesn't help that I roll my ankle a lot. And my right arm...There's like this bruise on my tricep. I have no idea how I managed to get one there. I don't think it was there yesterday and I don't remember bumping into anything today...Hopefully I can recover over the long weekend.

My birthday was on Tuesday...It were all right. Apparently I'm 20 now...I feel a lot older though =P I grunt when I sit down/get up. I got a new computer chair! It's comfy. My main concern is that I'll fall asleep in it haha I also got some games and clothes. I had to work the morning and last hour of the day though. And I didn't get much sleep...Not fun. Not a bad day though. Kicked the crap out of last year's birthday =D

There's a "college" right down the street (from both my mom's and dad's) that claims to offer exactly what I'm interested in...Actually, it might be the one my sister is going to right now to become a nurse. I'll have to ask her...Maybe she can hook me up with some pamphlets or something. I think it's a 2 year program. Hopefully it's not that expensive.

So I managed to pass my FIN 502 exam...10/20! Not bad since I had to guess for like...Half of the questions haha The professor seems to have given us a 14% boost. Didn't expect that...This leads me to believe that people were right when they said he didn't actually give us 45 minutes to write the test. I don't have a watch anymore, so I don't know for sure, but it certainly didn't feel like 45 minutes. I messed up a few questions I shouldn't have though. No matter.
I also got my FIN 501 mark back. 60%...Meh. Not so good. I tought I did better than that, but I guess not. It's funny how I'm happy with a 50% + 14% but not pleased with a plain old 60%. Maybe it's because the 502 test was only worth 20% of my mark, whereas the 501 test was worth 40% or my mark. Whose to say? Me, I guess, but that's not the point.
My FIN 401 test is next Tuesday. I don't really understand much of what we've done this semester. Or maybe it's just that what dude has done hasn't really stuck with me. No matter. I have other tests coming up, but I don't know when. All I needs to know is that FIN 401 is next and it's on Tuesday.
I've been off this week. I've been playing a lot of Wild ARMs Alter Code: F. Good game. It's every bit as good, if not better than, as the original. The music seems to have more...Zing to it. I'm not a huge music buff, but I guess the PS2 just has more capabilities when it comes to sound? Or maybe the music producers just decided to take it to the next level. It's all good. I'm getting closer to finishing it. I really need to speed it up too. I just picked up a bunch of new games and I still have several waiting for me. I just picked up Musashi: Samurai Legends, Devil May Cry 2, Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition, Tales of Legendia, and Grandia III. In addition to those games I had Shadow Hearts: Covenant, Final Fantasy Origins, Vagrant Story, Dragon Quest VIII, Xenosaga Episode I, and Xenosaga Episode II. I may have a few other games too...But I can say that DMC 3: SE is probably the lowest in terms of the old video game priority list because I've already beaten DMC 3. Aside from that, I'm playing them as the mood strikes me. That being said, I'm thinking Musashi might be next.
After realizing that the EB Games at the Town Centre doesn't have Makai Kingdom anymore, I've decided that I'm going to grab the games I want as soon as I can. I've missed out on Makai Kingdom and Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana. I might end up missing out on Magna Carta and who knows how many other games. No more, I say! I'm not gonna go nuts, mind you...But games I really want will be obtained! Kingdom Hearts 2 is one of those games and it's supposed to be released at the end of March. I have enough money to buy a few. I'm still well over $1500 ahead of where I was last year and I don't see any major expenses on the horizon before I go back to work. It's funny...After I read that paragraph again, I was like "What the fuck? Am I thinking that? That's now how I am with money." I guess I'll just have to see how things play out haha

8:49 pm - Yay...An extra class
|
..Or...As of like, one minute ago, no extra class! Yay! I was prepared to take ACC 414 until I read that I might as well have the same teacher again. Apparently this woman "teaches" the same way the other one did. So, I added and dropped the same class in less than an hour...Summer school, here I come! Or, perhaps I'll just take it next fall. Or perhaps...Perhaps...This semester will kill me! Or you know...I'll get fed up and try to get into what I wanted to do in the first place...Something with computers.

6:14 pm - School! Anti-yay!
|
So, I've been to all of my classes so far and I've met all of my professors. I can't say I have an accurate handle on how this semester will go down, but I'm getting the feeling that it won't be terrible.
Monday: 9 am - 11 am (or, more accurately, 10:40), Sociology: The professor seems like an all right guy. Since this is a liberal studies course, he said he doesn't expect us to become masters in Sociology, which is good, since my Psychology professor asked us to read and understand an entire Psychological study using only one perspective. Yeah right man...We weren't equipped to do that properly. Anyways, this guy swears a far bit, which I don't mind, but he seems to think it'll make him cool. Teaching well will make you cool, buddy. His stories are kind of funny. Nothing like a good story to get the mind going again in the middle of a boring lecture.
3 pm - 6 pm, Finance...uh...502 =D Personal Finance maybe...: So, I was hoping that this semester would involve courses that were only for Finance students...Nope. Not only is there about 100-150 students in the class, it's a big room and the teacher claims there's no way to project his voice. That is pure bullshit! We can see the damn speakers man. Just because you don't know how to do it doesn't mean it can't be done. And it sucks, he gets drowned out and he has a Russian (I guess...) accent. Understanding him is going to be hard. And there's a group project...What the hell! At this stage in the game, it should be optional. But it's not and now I'm forced to find a group to work with. Sucks.
Tuesday: 9 am - 12 am, Finance...uh...401 =D: Another massive class. At least this prof bothered to figure out how to use the microphone for this room. He's an all right seeming sort of guy. He seems intent on getting as many people to pass as possible. Another group project though...Bastard. Why not just save us all some trouble and make my grade out of 80? I had to swallow my pride and post on the BB in the hopes of finding a group. Only half the class passed the course last semested...Almost 300 people dropped it! And 75 failed...I intend to be apart of the first half.
Wednesday: 3 pm - 6 pm, Finance...uh...501 =P: The prof for this class is weird, but he's quite loud. Some guy was singing out in the hall and he looked out the door and said "Don't quite your day job, buddy" and the guy told him to shut the fuck up. He didn't even get mad. He just said "all roads lead to Rome. Consider me to be Rome. One day, he will be in my hands. I won't remember any of your names, but I never forget a face" haha It was funny. Well played, too. He said it to the class though, not the dumbass outside. There's another group project sort of thing in this class, but at least he's assigning us a partner. And the project seems like it'd be kind of interesting, though demanding.
Thursday: 10 am - 1 pm, Uh...CMN 279 =D: It's a communications course of some kind. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. All kinds of presentations and shit is what I expect...And it seems like that's what'll happen. The prof is...Acceptable I guess. She won't be the worst professor I've had. No one could ever be as bad as Esther Deustch (my accounting teacher)...Such a horrible teacher. I hated that course and I failed that course and I will have to take that course again, probably in the summer, which means I won't be able to work at Metroland again, which irritates me because I told them I'd be back. Fucking woman. Anyways, at least the class only has 31 students, though I expect that to drop to a nice 25. That makes presenting crap easier.
Friday: 1 pm - 2 pm, Sociology again: Hah! I bet you were thinking I didn't have school tomorrow =P I wish. This is the third semester in a row that they've done this to me. A one hour class on a Friday...Bitches. What was my Friday first semester like...I don't remember. Oh wait, yes I do! I had two one hour classes that day. 9 - 10 and 10 - 11, all time am of course. Meh, oh well.
And so, I'm left with the horrible realization that travelling to and from school will suck major donkey dong. I was late on Monday because I had to wait for two trains to go by before I could get on one. Then I would've been late on Tuesday (prof was an hour late though, so it didn't matter =D) because I had to wait for 4 or 5 trains to go by before I could get on one. And today, I had to wait again for an opportunity to get on. Sucks! And going home, bleh...Not as bad as getting on a train at Yonge station to get to Dundas (which is only three stops; it takes almost as much time to get from Yonge to Dundas as it takes to get from Warden to Yonge, which is 13 stops I think).
I plan to work harder this semester. I don't know how long that will last, mind you.

11:38 pm - I feel sick
|
Sick of how I act, sick of how I treat people, sick of what I know, both about other people and myself. I'm just plain sick of myself. Change? It doesn't work. That just makes me feel sick too.
Or maybe I'm just hungry. I'm not sure.

My last exam is tomorrow at 8 am...And I haven't started studying yet. I feel so tired...So very tired. I think I'm going to go home now. Hopefully the cold air will wake me up and get me going long enough to get through the material at least once. Hopefully.
10:44 am - Yeah so, it didn't work. I ended up taking a nap from 11 pm to 3 am. I didn't get anywhere close to looking over all of the material...Which is normal. Oddly enough...I feel relatively confident that I passed. I was finished 100 multiple choice/true/false (there was...5 t/f? haha) in about an 1 hour and 20 minutes, including the time I spent goint to the bathroom. Everytime I sat down for an exam this semester I had to pee...Bad. I only went during today's exam and Finance. I suffered through the pain ther other three times. After my exam, I went to the arcade =D Then I went towards home...Then I got chips and pop =D Then I actually went home...Now I'm eating chips and drinking pop =D Woo...No more school until January 9th. The marks are going to be released on the 25th (whose idea that was, I don't know), so I probably won't find out until the 26th heh Which means I'll find out how badly I failed accounting and that my confidence in my exams was false and that I failed all of my other courses too! Super!

Only one more and it's not until Thursday! I'm going to slack off this weekend...And probably slack off during a large portion of Monday =D
So...My Psychology exam was...Easy...Which means I did terrible. It was just too easy. I was confident about most of my answers and even when I had no idea what the answer was, I was still able to pick what seemed like a decent answer. I didn't end up covering all of the material beforehand, which isn't a surprise for me =P I think I passed though. All I had to do was pass the exam and I passed the course. I already had 51.something out of 70 going into the exam, which means I could've gotten 0 and still passed the course in terms of numbers. Of course, my university has this policy where you MUST pass the exam to pass the course. Eh...But, that's a guaranteed C if I did pass the exam. My assignment...Godamn man. I made so many grammatical errors. A few times it was clear that I'd started to write something, stopped, and started again with a completely different train of thought...Or it was worded differently and the two halves of the sentence didn't mesh well. Other times, it just seemed like a different preference in terms of writing style. Pardon me for not wanting to use the same term over and over again. That's just how I were teached to do things =P No matter. I still got 76, so I'm pleased.
And now I am going to eat! Then sleep (probably)! Hoorah for slacking off!

2:31 pm - Another update!
|
Hoorah! Rin must be so happy =P
So, accounting...Yeah. I went, I saw, I got conquered. I have the same feeling about this exam that I had after the second midterm. I think I did all right. And that means I got 27.9/100! Yeah! That's what I got on the midterm for some reason. I guess that reason is I got 27.9 of the marks...Wait...How do you get .9 of a mark? That just occurred to me. This further confirms my suspicions that this woman is evil! She probably gave me 9 .1's instead of 9 .5's or even 9 1's. Wow. She's all kinds of evil. I keep imagining going into the Dean's office and offering him up some kind of deal which involves her getting fired or asked to retire early(? She could be as old as 80). I went to www.ratemyprofessor.com and went to the Canadian version (of course =P) and looked her up. She has 179 ratings (or something near that) and an overall quality of 1.1. 1.1 out of 5...That's just bad. No matter. If I fail, I guess I'll take it again next semester, unless they tell me she might be the professor, then I'll opt to take some other crappy job this summer so that I may go to...Summer school...I wonder how unpleased my dad will be with all of this. Probably all kinds.
So, Psychology is tomorrow. If it was on Sunday, maybe I would've put more effort into accounting, but it's not on Sunday. It's tomorrow at 12:30 pm. 90 multiple choice questions...That's gonna be a bitch to prepare for. The exam being at 12:30 gives me a bit more time to rest though. And there shouldn't be much in the way of material I'm not familiar with in at least a small way. Psychology = not nearly as boring as accounting.
And now I'm off! To play Soul Calibur II for a little bit before eating and/or going to sleep.

8:32 am - It occurs to me
|
I'm sitting here, wondering if I have enough lead for my mechanical pencil or not for my upcoming exams...And if I have any normal pencils to carry around as backups. I do, of course, but it reminds me of like...A 3 or 4 year period where I couldn't even say the word pencil without someone giggling. No one could say it, really. The reference is obvious. I remember it irritating the hell out of me after the first year. And as I sit here thinking about it now, not to mention the other stupid things, I'm starting to get irritated again. Man, we were such stupid kids haha
I played Morrowind for 2 hours or so the on Monday night after I got home. I only ended up saving half an hour of that. Much of it was me wandering around aimlessly trying to find some witch that stole this dudes clothes and his ax...Only, his clue fucking sucks. She should still be where you were camping (i.e.: about to fuck) Northwest of where I found you eh? Oh, what's that? You think the spell she cast on you might have left you disoriented and your directions might be off? Do you have any idea how fucking BIG this world is you fooligan? "To the Northwest" could be almost friggen anywhere, even to the Southeast! And I think there are more continents. Needless to say, I didn't find her. I actually ended up doing two other side-quest dealies in the process. Only one got saved. After a while, I ran into another dude who I guess ran into a similar fate as the first dude. Then I realize after talking to the second dude...The first dude is gone! So I'm like "What the hell?" I ran around for a while more and just deicded to shut it off. Then I went to sleep for...19 hours =P Not straight of course. I intended to get up at 11 am, then 12 pm, then 12:30, 1, 1:30, 2:15, etc., etc.. It went on like that until I finally forced myself out of bed around 8 pm. I had a headache haha I wasn't feeling all that tired though. My legs are starting to get sleepy again though. You'd think they'd have the endurance of an RPG character by now, but apparently not. You'd think I'd be able to run really fast too, but no...Or well, I guess I have no idea. I don't like to run. It's more effort than I'm willing to put forward.

11:24 am - Feeling ill
|
Hoorah, right before my exam...Well...Not RIGHT before. It's at 6:30, but that's not the point. If I'm going to get sick, I'd rather it be now than towards the end of the week. My easy exams are first...Yay for nothing to look forward to!
Over-confidence is a killer. My brain keeps telling me I know how to do all of this finance stuff, which is actually true I guess, but will I remember how to do it when it's important? Probably not. So I'm sitting here forcing myself to study, which means I won't remember it anyways =P
I started Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind a few days ago...It's like they took melee aspect of a First-Person Shooter and added a bunch of customization to make it seem RPGish...I made a Redguard and my own custom class. He looks like a chubby bald guy. So I put a helmet on him (I stole it =D). Now he looks like...Uh...A guy with a weird helmet on. I'm not really pleased so far. I like stealing from people though, so I continue to play on! Or rather...I'll continue to play on next week!

12:56 pm - Hungry

I got a sub from Mr. Sub today. Turkey breat on white bread, regular size with extra cheese, lettuce, and sub sauce. I ate it...And I was hungrier than before. I hate that. There's almost nothing to eat here and anything there is certainly couldn't follow up a sub. I'm debating on going and getting another...Last night I had these steak cut fries or something...They look pretty similar to potato wedges...Anyways, there was a regular fry in there. Kinda funny...I snickered before devouring it.
I haven't started a new game yet. I just watched tv on Saturday and yesterday I woke up around 6 pm again and watched tv for a while before starting my assignment...Which I don't understand much at all. And that's no good, since it's due tomorrow. It's only 5% of my grade...But I shouldn't just toss 5% out the window like it's nothing, especially when I've actually obtained an exact grade of 50 more than once. So, I guess it'll have to wait until tomorrow or later tonight if I manage to finish this assignment early enough.
And yay...There's just 4 more days of classes before I have 5 exams over 8 days...Or is it 7? Who cares. Psychology will definitely suffer because it's a day after accounting...And it's (my psychology exam) on a Saturday. I hate my school sometimes...Why the hell would they schedule an exam on a Saturday? Oh wait, I forgot, they schedule some on Sundays too...What's up with that? No Sunday exams for me this semester though.

2:27 am - I beat it!
|
I beat Tales of Symphonia! 61:22 (or something near that) with the ending included. Unfortunately, I don't know how accurate that time is. I did a bunch of sidequest crap and was often interrupted during play. Oh well. That's not important =P I spent like...14 hours playing it yesterday/early this morning. I woke up around 6 pm and finished off the game around uh...11 pm? No, 10. What's next? I'm not sure yet. I almost want to try Kingdom Under Fire again, but I don't know if it's going to work and I know it'll piss me off immensely if it doesn't. I guess I'll find out in a few minutes muahaha
And uh...Yeah. They were selling 2L bottles of pop for 97 cents. I bought three. I would've bought more if a) I wasn't worried about spending too much; and b) I was sure I could carry them back without dying. My fingers almost died. As soon as I got inside they cried out in pain because the house was warm and they weren't. I should've bought more food too. I bought bread and chips haha That was it for edibles...Oh well.
And I'm off to...Eat I think. Or maybe play a game. No, no, eat. Yeah.

Am I fucked or what? haha I have an accounting test in...Approximately 7 hours and I'm just finishing chapter 7 now. The test includes chapter 7 and 10-13. I started around 8:30 and took an hour break from 10-11...So, yeah. I hate accounting. None of my other textbooks managed to pack that much seemingly important shit in one page. And of course, I have no prior understanding of any of this because my professor does not actually teach. I could've done the homework I guess, but I'm paying to be taught by someone with experience, not paying to teach myself so someone with experience can make $100K+ per year just for showing up to three or four classes a week and just standing there. Oh well...It looks like I'll end up on academic probation after this semester. Just lovely...They said I'd be done with school after grade 12. Bunch of lying assfaces.
Edit: Rather...I do have some understanding...Whatever I just so happen to remember from Fall 2004 seems to come in handy when it allows me to skim through one page in amongst the other 40+ for the chapter that I don't understand. Yay!
Edit again: It's 4 now...And I'm just starting chapter 11 and my brain is already barfing it all back up. I'm trying to decide if I should just take a two hour nap or force my through what I can...I'm already in a far better position now than I was for the last test, I think. I'm still shit out of luck, but hey...I've pulled off the seemingly impossible before. I think the wisest course of action would've been to drop the course before it got to the point where it went on my transcript. Hindsight is 20-20 though. Dang...I was looking forward to not having to take accounting ever again. Looks like I'll be taking this class again next semester.

I hurt my neck while playing a hockey game. Not while playing hockey, but while playing a video game. The other team managed to score three goals and I guess I shook my head a little too violently. And that's pretty darn shameful. Needless to say, it's making it kind of hard to do my assignment...I started on Friday, but, as usual, I've been procrastinating. There's always tomorrow...Yep...Tomorrow between 12 am and 6:30 am, since I want to hand it in in class at 9 am, but I guess I do have until 3:30 if I really need it. Lots of time left though. It's a pretty small assignment. Only 8 pages double spaced. It's worth 25% of my final grade though, which means it's worth more than both of the tests I took for this class haha No matter...Barring my professor saying I've committed some form of plaigarism, I'll probably get my usual 70.
I'm almost finished with Tales of Symphonia...I think...I'm 42ish hours in and I just hit disc 2. I think Lloyd's learned all the techniques he's going to learn through levelling, which makes me kind of irritated. He's the only character I can use with some degree of efficiency. Granted, that's a high degree, since I've been controlling him in battle for most of that 42 hours. My X-Box may be fine after all, so I'm not sure what I'll play next. It depends on how well my PS2 controlers are working.
Oh well...Back to the grindstone.
