Why Can't I Ever Write A Short Entry?

HuGSS is a huge success! HuGSS; the Human Geography Student Society, has finally become a student group! Last month or the beginning of September, Sirina one of my friends from EAS 394 recruited me to help create this student groupd for oour fellow Human Geographers. I was totally for it, considering that we Geographers are a minority in the EAS department. Apparently there are, currently, only 30 majors in the subject! Now HuGSS will be the vehicle for which to network and make friends with others who like/love geography. I was nominated/volunteered for the postion of Recruiter/Fundraiser. My jos is to take the lead in any activites that the group is involved in. Basically, it's my job to get the ball rolling on all the activites we are planning to do,and to ensurethat they become reality, not just ideas on paper.

Thanksgiving was a couple weeks ago. My family, My Aunt Joan and Uncle Deithart's family and my Gran were all in attendance. Normally my family does Thanksgiving with my mother's side of the family, but this year, considering that it is my Gran's 90th birthday, we celebrated with Her and my Dad's sister. My cousin Veronica came up from Victoria for the weekend and stayed at our house. She's a lot of fun and it was nice to spend some time with her. Aswell, my cousin Gottfreid and his family came all the way out from Toronto to spend Thanksgiving with us, though we didn't get to spend a lot of time with him, because he has two young sons who are 1 and 3 so they were keeping Mom and Dad (Gottfreid and Natilie) busy.
Also my friends Shomei (from Japan) and Niyeti (from Washington D.C.) joined us for dinner. Neither of them has had a traditional Canadian Thanksgiving before, so i invited them out to share with our family. (although Niyeti has had American thanksgiving, she's never had the far superior Canadian Thanksgiving). Shomei was blown away with how much food was served. He and Niyeti were both sent home with huge plates of leftovers.

I got my paper back from my EAS 394 class. I'm so pissed off at how shitty i did on it. I could have done so much better. its not like i've never done an article critique before. In Lancaster, i had to do an article critique each week for my Geographies of Health class. What my problem was, i left it to the last minute and on top of that i just gave up at 2ami just quit and decided to hand it in as is. I should have stayed up later and put the effort into it that i needed to. But to be fair, i was super pissed all that day because of having to go to the hospital to get my Mom's hand put in a cast because broke it on a fucking Dog's head! sorry, i'm still a bit peeved when i think about it. I had taken the day off school to get the paper done. I was working dilligently on it and then that happened. I ended up losing 4 solid working hours and handing in a crap paper. I don't entirely blame my mother, i did leave this thing to the last minute, if i hadn't done so, i'd have gotten a way better mark.

okay enough ranting. Bedtime.

A Breif Update

My Week thus far....
I skipped and stayed home on monday, because i had an essay to write. I had stayed home in the hopes to get it done at a decent hour instead of pulling another all-nighter writing the bloody thing. I was working on it by 1pm, and making some progress. Then about 4pm my mother (who had taken the day off of work as well) came into my room with a broken hand!
She had hit her hand on a dog's head and broken it.
I had to drive her to the Royal Alex Emergency Room to have it looked at. I then spent the next 3 hours sitting in the parking lot trying to get my essay done. finally my brother Will came and drove me home and we left our Dad to take care of Mom.
I was really pissed at this point because i wasn't getting any work done and this essay was due tomorrow. I was sensitive to the fact that my Mom was hurt, but there was nothing i could do for her and i had a deadline looming.
Will has this very "high school" logic about him, it is super annoying. you know the kind of Logic i'm talking about. If some one makes a statement, it is automatically taken to be an insult at those closest around you.
for an example, i will now re-enact a scene from the O.C. (where Marissa is being bullied by a school bully)
"Tell me that you think you are better than me"
"But i don't think i am better than you"
"Oh so you think i'm dumb as well!"
Case in point.
This is Will logic, if he is losing a debate, he will ignore certain facts just to win. He was calling me selfish for being mad when Mom was hurt. I rebuttled that being mad is essentially being selfish, you are only concerned about what is causing you to be mad. For me, in this case, it was the fact that i wasn't at home working on my essay, i was forced to waste 3hours of working time waiting in a car.
Then he went on a tangent about how our sister does the same thing. I told him this had nothing to do with Alex, yet he persisted to call me selfish and that she was when she gets mad too.

okay, moving on.
Tuesday was better, i got my essay handed in, though i had to stay up until 2am to finnish it, and even then i really don't like how i just gave up and decided to hand in what i had written without thourghly going through what i had wrote.
Then our proff, cancelled the class half way through because the video we were supposed to watch wasn't working.
i hung out with my friend Erin for a bit, the picked up my mother and went home. One good thing about her breaking her hand is that she cannot drive so i get to go home early now and i get the car a lot more often!

And now today i am planning on getting some high quality work done, so i'd better sign off and get at it.
What does the rest of the week hold? who knows.
Though i am looking forward to going to MP with some International Students on Friday and having Veronica (my cousin) some for a visit from Victoria this weekend. Not to mention the turkey dinner for thanksgiving on sunday! Yum!
