back in the game

okay,

been a while. but these things happen. they sure do.

I have begun to naturally flock to places where people congregate, in a seemingly social manner. It is semi-enjoyable. I remember my old social self. On the other hand, my preoccupation with acedemia is having a noticable effect on my gpa. If I keep this up I might just get into the University of Manitoba.

I really have become a good student but I have also become boring. Part of the boring-ness must necessarily rest on the lack of funds (I chose not to work this semester) but mainly it is from the work ethic.

And all the volunteering. Paige, who I haven't seen in a while, chastised me for my pro bono work but I am enjoying it. Working weekly with learning disabled kids through the Students For Literacy program (and trying to expand the program to focus more on adults), the UVSS, the senate, the Environmental Responsibilty club. I am a joiner. yay.

I am trying to get on a University steering committee to increase the reputation of the university amongst business leaders, high school counselors and others who feel the need to rate universities (note: just checked the Macleans Magazine - UVic is up to #2 in comprehensive universities - take that Guelph and SFU!). Anyway, it is in my best interest to make UVic number 1. Then I get to tell prospective grad schools that I am matriculated from the prestigious University of Victoria. Now, I assume, they still consider it a party school with couch riding surf-kids (which is not too far off the mark). There are a lot of surf-kids here. Lazy bastards.

gotta go study now.

damn surf-kids
