    Ma Famille*

    I MIGHT STILL GET METIS MONEY!!!!!! WOOOOO!!! …Did I ever tell you that my family is Metis? Well, we are. I also think that we’re quite possibly the last generation of my family who is eligible to claim it. Anyway, as a Metis post-secondary student in Ontario I can apply for bursaries to help fund my education. Last year I applied and received $750 in December. The deadline for this year’s application was the end of October, so naturally when I hadn’t heard anything by the end of December I assumed that for whatever reason I didn’t get it this year. WELL. Today I got a letter in the mail…

    Cancelled*

    I was supposed to go in for my first day of tutoring today at my school but the principal called me bright and early to ask me if we could reschedule. As excited as I am to not have to go all the way down there (it’s a bit of a trek) I’m also a little disappointed as I’d like to get started. I haven’t even met with the teacher’s yet because one has been away sick. So hopefully I’ll get in there next week. Last night we had a lovely impromptu dinner with Dee and her brother [Runner]. I went down to see Dee, then the Hubster and Runner…

    Jack Bauer*

    If you are a fan of 24, you will enjoy this. The Hubster found this somewhere and I just about died laughing. Enjoy! Top Facts about Jack BauerThe facts about Chuck Norris are impressive, but Jack Bauer has him beat hands down. If everyone on “24” followed Jack Bauer’s instructions, it would be called “12”. If Jack Bauer was in a room with Hitler, Stalin, and Nina Meyers, and he had a gun with 2 bullets, he’d shoot Nina twice. Upon hearing that he was played by Kiefer Sutherland, Jack Bauer killed Sutherland. Jack Bauer gets played by no man. If you wake up in the morning, it’s because Jack…

    145.5*

    Well, I didn’t move this week. Mind you, I’ve had a reeeeally busy week/weekend and haven’t had much time for anything, so I’ll make that my excuse. I suppose it’s better to stay at the same weight than to go up though. Anyway, I went to write this afternoon and my internet died. We just got it back a few minutes ago. So, here I am. I didn’t do much today– it was bloody cold out so I stayed in all day. The Hubster has class for most of the day so I use my Mondays to get a lot of my cleaning/laundry done for the week, and I try…

    Busy Weekend*

    I haven’t posted since Wednesday? Tsk tsk tsk. I’ve been slacking! Well, I’ve actually been really busy. Thursday is my insane school day where I am on campus from 10am-10pm, and I had my training at the school board on Friday! I’m very excited to start this tutoring program. I didn’t realize that I’d actually be teaching, of sorts. I have a lesson manual and books for my students (I’ll be working with 6 at a time) and I work with them for 2 hours. I think this will be an awesome experience for me. I’m pumped. Today I worked at Payless for the first time in 6 weeks. haha……
