It was a LATE night!! 
Our potluck-crafts night was an awesome time.  It was nice to see some people that I don't get to hang out with very often.  Also nice to meet new people.  We sat up until around 4am before we decided to call it quits.  It was fun and the food was great. 
I was thinking that it might have been even more fun with a few more people, but then I thought about it and frankly, I'm positive that there would have been at least one death.  Either on purpose or accidentally, it doesn't matter.  More than six people in my tiny house carrying scissors, scalpels, exacto knives, fine-tipped markers and various other sharp instruments of death simultaneously wouldn't have been a good thing no matter how you look at it.  You gotta watch yourself around those fine-tipped markers.  Those suckers can be deadly.

School is progressing, although it is the last two weeks of the term coming up and things are getting hairy.  I find myself buried under mountains of work and truthfully, I should be working on my term paper right now instead of updating my blog.  I know that sometimes a person needs a break from school work, but I feel guilty for taking them, like last night.  I just have so much to do.  At the same time, I need them or I will go insane.  So I'm trying to find a healthy and productive balance.  It's harder than I thought it was going to be.

Maybe that's what I should write my term paper on.  Guilt over not having enough time for friends, family, school, household duties and work.  How and why does it manifest and what are long and short-term psycholog ical consequences on surrounding friends and family.  Maybe I could throw in some coping strategies and theories on why some people are better able to juggle these things than others.  Hmmm.  Interesting idea.  I've been having many interesting ideas in the last few days.  It makes deciding on a topic very difficult.  Maybe I could get some input from some friends I know who are also having trouble balancing everything.

Nevah!!

I have written letters, emails, made phone calls and tomorrow I have an appointment with my local MP to discuss the blatant ineptitude of the Canada Student Loans system of incompetence.  I swear to God, I'm a hair's breath away from hiring a lawyer and suing for compensation for financial, academic and emotional damages resulting from their back-assedness.

I'm writing letters to the local MP, the Minister of Learning, the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development and Federal Interlocutor for Metis and Non-Status Indians, the fucking Prime Minister!!!

I swear to God, if Canada Student Loan people don't get their heads OUT of their asses, I'm gonna blow a fucking gasket here!!!

On the plus side, the Sociology midterm went well this morning.
:evil:

You were born on a Saturday
Your Moon is in Leo
Warm, loving, and generous in your affections, you inspire tremendous devotion and loyalty in your loved ones. This is good, since you would never settle for anything less! You want to be adored and worshipped like the king or queen that you feel you are, and it is difficult for anyone to resist the warmth and attention you lavish on those you care about. You have a great deal of pride and need to be recognized and appreciated. The way to really hurt your feelings is to ignore you. You are genuine, sincere, and have a strong sense of personal integrity. You hate emotional games and dishonesty.
Your Life path number is 1.

The Julian calendar date of your birth is 2442276.5.
The golden number for 1974 is 18.
The epact number for 1974 is 6.

The moon's phase on the day you were
born was new.

New Moon:
If you were born during the New Moon phase, you have a childlike wonder and excitment about life. Open and demonstrative, you think and act spontaneously. With your bright, bubbly personality, you launch yourself into your work with tremendous enthusiasm. You are at your best when you are generating new ideas and beginning fresh projects, ever-hopeful about their outcome. Your eagerness leads you to work fast and furiously, but with the attendant danger that you can all too often exhaust yourself before reaching your goal. On the negative side, you have a habit of seeing life from a purely subjective point of view. You are likely to make your mark in life when you are comparatively young, and you will need to learn how to sustain that impulse throughout the rest of your life.

Wednesday, JK and I celebrated our 1st anniversary.  We went for supper to the Cave with Leah, who enjoyed the experience thoroughly.  Unfortunately, the evening was quite short-lived, as he had to work at 6.  So that's that.  Year number two is officially under way...heh.

Went to see Mr. and Mrs. Smith today with JK and MB.  It was pretty good.  Even MB liked it...hehehe.  :P

Anyhow, not much else to report right now.  I'm pretty swamped with school work though.  Only 2 more weeks!!  I have a feeling I'm going to be in trouble with my Psychology stuff here pretty soon.
