Fffff, I've really slacked with this whole journal thing, haven't I. My condensed update on things;
SCHOOL: I originally signed up for a Philosophy course, went to my first class Monday afternoon... and I wanted to rip my hair out. I've had some boring profs, and slow profs, and not-so-good profs... but this one was pretty special. None of his jokes were funny in the slightest, he seems really awkward and quiet, he didn't finish half his sentences, he has a really strange way of speaking, the handout he gave us was full of mistakes, missing a page, and his ramblings were so disorganized. So yeah, I need out of there, and fast. I got really lucky and a spot opened up in a Family Studies course for Human Relationships (which was a course I originally signed up for the September term), but I got in, managed to join another class I was interested in for the September term that was during the exact same time, and I've heard this prof is really great and fun and interesting. So yeah, now I'm actually excited to start class tonight.
WORK: .... there is no work. Minus school work. hah.
FRIENDS: My friend who was on exchange last year came to visit me (... Vancouver) Sunday-Wednesday morning. We didn't get to hang out tons since they had to leave early Wednesday and I went out for Julie's goodbye party and to see Aidan to wish him a happy birthday. And yeah, Julie is leaving tomorrow... well, kind of. She's off to Toronto for about two weeks, coming back for four days, and then off to Hong Kong and Australia for a year. As crazy as that girl is, I think I'll miss her. We went out to a gay club (same one I went to last Friday, haha) for drinks and dancing. There are still a bunch of people around Vancouver that I'll be happy hanging out with, Anna is here until the end of the month and Marie is here, Aidan, Casey and Kristin, Manori is around, just in North Vancouver, and some more random people that live downtown.
BOYFRIEND: loveloveloveeee. I have to admit, we have been getting into little 'spats' lately, if that's the right word. haha. I was thinking about it the other day, and to me I know (or assume?) that they are totally normal, but of course I'd rather have no spats than small spats. I think it's just that it seems every day of my summer has been going wonderfully. No anxiety attacks, no bad days without knowing why, no bad days in general really, beautiful weather, getting up and actually going out and seeing people and doing things every single day for the last three weeks, so I think I'm just a little more vulnerable when those little tiffs do occur. Plus not to mention neither of us are argumentative people to begin with. I'm just glad that they have never been something that's lingered, I'm actually quite proud of myself that I tell him what's up as soon as I feel a little moody or upset, and things get solved. And in retrospect things are really going so wonderfully. We dogsat for his housemate's doggies while they were gone for the week, and it seriously made me consider what it'd be like sharing a place with him and taking care of a puppy with him... and not just me, since after we finished dogsitting he told me in the car one afternoon, "I want to get a puppy with you." It seriously made my heart melt. Mind you this is not happening tomorrow, haha. But it's a serious consideration come next summer after I finish graduating and such. I can't believe it's been almost a year since we started dating, and 9 months of officially dating. We were also listening to Gogol Bordello in his car yesterday when he picked me up after he finished work and told me that almost exactly this time last year he was listening to Gogol Bordello in his car, waiting to get started at work, and texting me. One year ago.
O sigh. How I love that boy. ♥
More updates and commenting from now on, that's a promise.
