A random jumble of crap...
Well, I was ordered by Pooh-Bog to post...and since I blindly follow orders (ha!), here you go, Roman. Although don't expect this to be anything close to coherent or worth your time... In which I manage to cheat death (I think). It seems that whatever virus managed to overtake me last week is slowly looking for new people to infect and leaving me alone. For the first day in over a week, I can actually say that I'm feeling better than the day before, instead of horribly, horribly worse. Yay me. Although I think that one last visit to ye ol' Health Centre may be in order, it seems that I'll live. For now. In which I decide whether to slack or learn. I am currently registered in three night classes, and will be using this week to decide which one will win out. Today, I'll be sitting in on People and Cultures of South & East Africa (ANTHR 284), Tuesday will be Canadian Natural Resource Policy (POL S 440) and Wednesday will be World War Two (HIST 296). There's no doubt that POL S 440 would be the most useful to me, but I'm unsure that I'm going to have the time and energy to commit to a 'real' course this semester. Should I feel like attending classes, but not useful ones, I'm left with ANTHR 284 and HIST 296...both of which I would enjoy (don't laugh!) but are entirely useless if I'm actually up to applying what I learn in the 'real world'. Thoughts? In which I get my shit together. I have been notoriously bad over the past few years at doing those simple things such as paying bills, keeping track of expenses, etc. Now that I seem to be in this role of 'real person', I've been trying a bit harder to be good. It was all going markedly well (all my bills up to date, saving money, etc.) when I realized that I really had no health care of any kind. The plan had been to coerce Manitoba Health into insuring me for one more year (which, for anyone whom I haven't ranted to about this yet, is FREE), and then get some supplemental Manitoba Blue Cross to cover the extras. Well, not only did I not follow through on the Blue Cross stuff, while I was *this* close to going to the Emergency Room during my visit with the afforementioned virus last week, I realized that I had let my health care lapse and didn't even have basic coverage to see a doctor. Fuck. After much panicking (and a complete dupe of the Health Centre...yay me!), I sent in my Manitoba Health renewal this morning. Now, I just need to not get sick until the card actually gets here... In which I feel a little lost. This is the first year that I have beeen in Edmonton and not spent the first half of January up to my ears in Tuition Campaign. It feels...bizarre. Although I think what feels worse is the fact that - even if I was still a full-time student and involved on campus - I'm not sure I'd be up to my ears...maybe my ankles, but that's it. I've spent a lot of time thinking about it, and I think I've figured out why...but still, it's disturbing me nonetheless. In which I procrastinate. Alot. Things that are currently half-done on my to-do list, that were supposed to have been done a long, long time ago...
In which I ignore you all.
