And now, due to exciting circumstances, it is time for an excited entry. Be warned that euphoric use of swearing, caps and exclamation marks may follow.
Holy Shit YESSSS!!! THE NOTWIST are playing Lee’s Palace on February 7th, 2003. Now that’s right good news, boys. See Notwist put out like my favourite album of the year, and since they’re from GERMANY who’d have thunk they’d be coming so close to my very own little doorstep!!! So indeed, the plan is to go and see them, because goshdarn it who knows when the chance will come again! $15 I imagine will be well spent.. plus transport and edibles and whatever, but it’s still all good. Something to do with the 3 and a half thousand dollars the government just loaned me!
Yes, things are looking up. And not only that, I got the rest of my marks back, and it was a very pleasant surprise! 11 in psych and 10 in CMST (that’s A and A- in McMasterese). That was a WICKED ASS surprise, because I wasn’t expecting that at all. So my average is 10 even, so if I slip a bit this term, I could still get my 9.5 and keep my scholarship and thereby be able to go here next year without taking out even more loans, which just doesn’t seem like a wise choice. The weird thing I guess is that my lowest mark is in the discipline I want to pursue and my highest is in the course I most often asked “what’s the point, really?” about. Oh well, at times things just stack up like that.
And on top of that, a very enjoyable episode of 24 watched live for the first time in a while, plus a film class with a prof who seems super cool.
