The past few weeks

Well I'm back from my break and the past few weeks have been interesting. What to talk about...

Final Exams:
I had 5 exams ranging in topcs from Ethical Theory to Stastics to Operations Management to Calculus to Economics. It was a real wide range. I think I did alright in Ethical Theory and I did ok in Economics, but those other 3 classes I'm not sure. They are heavy math and I'm not a math person at all. In any case If I have to take them again I'm going to pick prof's that speak English for a change.

Late Night Study Sessions:
We did 8 of these nights working from 10 PM to 6 in the morning. It was really busy at the start but as more exams finished there were less people that were there. It was easy work but we really worked with some useless sacks of sh*t there. Like comeon on if you're goingto put "reserved" signs on the door then put them up nicely and when you take them down, take the tape off so they don't stick together in one big pile. How hard is that?
I really liked when we came back after a few nights off and the carts were so messy that it took 45 minutes to clean it up...There was popcorn in the coffeemaker and popcorn oil all over the place.

Working:
I've had a long weekend from hell and a really nice and easy weekend so they have evened out. The long weekend, there was a machine down so the hospitals kept me really busy. That added to the patients coming into emergency with all their problems just made a busy night even worse. Don't get me wrong I still like my job but some weekends are better then others.

The Wedding:
Plans are moving along with it and we have a lot to do in may. We built the arch for the hall already so it can be moved and put in place. That will save 2 hours work at the hall. We have to meet with our photographers (Lindsay we've gotta meet sometime.), we're meeting with the priest today (he just rebooked our meeting to later today as he has to go to a funderal), and Jacqui is meeting he seamstress today. I'm getting my pants hemmed by Jacqui's mom and we're adding up the final numbers for how many people. Busy times.

My Friends:
I'm sorry to say that I haven't really had any time to visit to talk much with any of my friends. Working those two jobs thsi month and studying for exams have made that almost impossible. I know that next week will be better and that I can go out with them. Gotta make time for friends.

Well that's it for now. More to come. (oh and I turned comments back on now)

Taking a break

It has been just over 2 weeks since I wrote anything on my blog. Yah that is a long time on the internet but interesting things have been happening in my world.

2 weekends ago my aunt came into town with the new baby. It was my first time to see him and he is just a wonderful little baby. It was a good change to reconnect with my family and even though I had to work that weekend (as I work every weekend) It was still nice. See the picture of my new cousin with me.

Just this past weekend Jacqui had family on her side come into town for her wedding shower. I think about 30 people where there and it was a good time for her. As my mom said "You got a big haul" and she was quite right. Lots of gifts were showered upon Jacqui and she really enjoyed it.

While Jacqui was getting ready for her shower on Sunday I was having breakfast with my good friend Mark. We decided to go to Smitty's and just have a chance to visit. It was unexpected that he came into town so it was good to see him. We asked Zack but he was at a pancake breakfast at Melissa's (Lindsay's sisters) Church. Blessed pancakes must be really good...I've never had them before. Anyways It was good to visit with Mark and hopefully he'll have another unexpected weekend off where the 3 of us can go out again.

I'm now about to enter my final exams for this term and time is getting shorter for me. You can expect this to be my last post till the end of April when these classes are done and I have more free time to write my thoughts and feelings.

See you later.
