Wow. I haven't updated in a long time. I've also not checked out other people's blogs much either, but Jordan assures me that no one's really updated.
My job at the co-op's starting to grow on me, for better or worse. I have no idea how standing around can grow on you, but it has. I supposed you just get to start to know everyone, especially when it's your job to recognize as many people as possible. I'm also getting benefits now. They're also giving me all the time off I ask for, which is good, especially since I'm still making up hours that I was paid for but didn't actually work through the school year. I'm far from content to work at the co-op the rest of my life, or even a few years though. I want to DO something with myself, but I'm at an impass as to what to actually do, and there's still this problem that I'm terribly lazy.
I tried getting into a grad level psyc course at UNB, but I wasn't allowed in since my marks don't meet UNB's grad school requirements. Boo. There goes any plan of being able to tell any possible supervisors "Look, I know my marks aren't the greatest, but I can do grad level work!". There's still the possibility of boosting my average. I could take some 3rd and 4th year psyc courses here, do my best to get A+, and get my average to an 80, or close to it. Or I could get some music courses under my belt and do the same thing, cept UNB or STU doesn't offer enough in terms of what I'd like to have. Or I could go back to almost scratch and get a useful degree, ie, one which could get me a job. I still don't know what I want, except that I don't want to let the situation wait for another year, which, uhhhmh, isn't all that helpful. I've been mulling about what to do with myself constantly for the past couple of months, and I've gotten little nearer to deciding what I want.
My computer's fixed (again), hopefully for longer than a day or month this time.
So that's what's going on with me these days. Nothing terribly exciting. Perhaps I'll get around to posting some pictures from my trip to Toronto in April.
