Happy Anniversary to...

Us! Today is our 5th anniversary! That's awesome. 5 years is a weird time...it's not really long enough to be long, but its not short enough to be short. So far it's been a boring day for me...class...paper writting...home...see Ben...blogging... Nothing to exciting, but Ben and I are going to go out for dinner tonight to somewhere yummy, tho we haven't decided where yet!

I also forgot that the 7th was my blog's 1st Birthday. Happy Birthday Blog!

Today is also the last day of school, which is crazy. This semester (and year) went way to fast. I can't believe it when I think back to the end of last summer (sending Ben to boot camp; visiting Dad and Pat in Saskatoon), the first week of school (my absolute terror at the start of Latin 301 and my excitement at Greek 101)...and now its over. Crazy.

Wednesday was a shitty day. I was running around all day like crazy gathering research for my paper, etc... and I left my clipboard in the girl's washroom in HUB in the late afternoon. I didn't realize that it was gone until the next morning while packing for school. When I discovered my missing clipboard I freaked out, phoned the Rutherford, the blood services...etc...but no luck. I went to school and scoured the places where I had been but no luck. I ended up talking to 2 friends who had seen it in the washroom in HUB, but they didn't know it was mine, so they didn't pick it up. I ended up talking to the admin ladies in HUB (who are super nice) and they told me to talk to the 2 cleaners who are on in the evening. I waited around for them and when I did, I discovered that they had seen it, and thrown it out in the garbage compacter. I was PISSED OFF...this same guy had thrown away stuff of mine while I was studying in SUB last school year. I was really pissed off. I hadn't even lost it for 24 hours and they threw away what was obviously school work (on the 3rd last day of school, no less), because it wasn't 'valuable'. GRRR... I lost my entire translation of the Aeneid...and our Latin final is on the Aeneid, among other things. It wasn't as tragic as it could have been - I do have study notes of most of the Aeneid, and the Greek and classics that I lost is of no consequence, but I'm going to talk to those admin ladies in HUB on Monday about placing a complaint. If the cleaners don't want people's lost shit hanging around, give it to Campus 50, or to the Student info centres, or keep it for a week and then throw it out. GRRRRR.... stupid...

On the bright side, at least today was warm and I could wear a cute springy outfit!
TTFN!

My last bit of bad news

So I got a phone call from McMaster University yesterday at 9 am. The Dean of Admissions (I think) called me to tell me that I wasn't accepted. I figured that much - usually the faster you hear from them the better. I told him my plan for next year - convocate, enroll as a specialy student, take Latin, Greek, and French - and he thought that was a good idea.

Hopefully next year I'll have better luck with this!

TTFN!
