A Little Taste of Perfection (if I could taste anything with my nose this stuffed up)

I wrote a post initially a few days ago but my cranky old computer refused to publish it, pissing me off to no end. Can't wait to get a new one.

Sat. Oct. 21st

Not much sleep going on this morning, that's for sure - biochem midterm on a saturday morning, certainly gross, but I came away with 100%, seriously, so that didn't suck so much. Sunday morning, up early again for city league volleyball, loving our team, very balanced all around and we have a blast even when we're not playing spectacularly, which normally I would get irritated about.

Had an interestingly genial yet terse conversation with Dr. Langner, oh, sorry "Jerry" as he insisted we call him, lol about the small group ensembles (and how they can in NO way be associated with Greystone Singers). It's not like I'm surprised by any of this, I know the drill, but everyone in music gets so bloody territorial - shouldn't choristers have input into what they're singing (and I'm talking more than just 1 piece a year)? We're the ones that do all the work and give up our time. I did take note about doing things right the first time...in many ways you don't have multiple chances to mess with people's level of commitment.

Betsy surprised me with some a very interesting revelation as well - I'm just glad to hear she's surviving, having new experiences, and the important stuff will sort itself out. Despite my exhaustion, and the consequent onset of a bad head cold Monday morning, Sunday's highlight was a truly enjoyable and warm call from Steve in Britannica, much better than the early morning/"you have two minutes on your phonecard" call from a week or so before. Big happy birthday to him and I got to return the favour he'd done for my birthday back in May (yay chipmunks!). Too bad Anna won't be in England when I will be during spring break, she wrote back saying durned the luck, she's leaving at the end of January. Miss you MIghty Mouse!

I keep meaning to get this decrepit old digicam working and take some shots of the UofSask campus while it's still relatively picturesque (eg. before the snow and lack of leaves reduce it to a bleak greystone quarry). Also should get some shots of the house to send to mom, sisters (although I think dad took some when he was here initially). This cold definitely came at a bad time, just as I was making a strong push in the gym - I'm relegated to yoga for the time being (stretchy Stew). This whole E. coli scare with spinach is starting to get on my nerves, I miss my salads!

Psych quiz on Chapters 4, 5.....and 3(?) today - luckily I remembered most of that stuff and came through pretty well, I'm quite surprised how badly the class is doing as a whole - still wish it were on an ABC curve like a UofA cause I'd be sitting at an A+++, muahah. Pharm 216 is going to be a huge pain. Note to self, don't leave Lab2 until Sunday night/Monday morning!!!

Hope mom, dad and Grandpa had an amazing time at Dalhousie. I should call em...

lol not my best prose (a hodgepodge of various tangents to be sure) but it'll have to do for the moment!
