In short (in case you don't want to read all of it :P)
Friday: played badminton
Saturday: volunteered at senior home
Sunday: library

My laptop overheated when I was trying to make this post. But I am always equiped with other alternatives.., iPhone! Haha. On Friday nothing interesting happened, Karen went home and I played badminton with Jen and Jason. JEN VERSUS JASON, WHO WILL WIN?



We ate at commons for dinner and I ordered Alfredo pasta with chicken. Adding that extra meat is optional and costs a whole dollar and a half more. Sometimes an Alfredo pasta by itself is really plain and boring so I tried it with chicken. The lady that scooped the chicken bits gave me a quantity so miniscule, that not even half the scoop was filled. Was 5 pieces of tiny chicken pieces worth $1.50? No. I sometimes put myself in the shoes of servery employees. Would it matter if I give a greater proportion to students? I'm not paying for the food nor will my salary be altered depending on the quantity of food that is left at the end of the day. By the way, the server was an asian lady with an accent recognizable to be of Chinese decent. To be honest it doesn't matter if I receive less than the reasonable amount, but what would they do with all that leftovers? Under strict regulations they have to trash it! What a waste.. There are kids in the world everyday fighting starvation.. And this is how we, north Americans, achieve a shameful lifestyle such as this! Sad.

So for the rest of the night I went to chill with my favourite mom, EVA CHUNG. we had the longest talk about everything, anything and all there is to talk about. I'm glad I got to know you so much more, hope you have a PLEASANT future ahead of you :D



ROFL

On Saturday, my psych group had a meeting with our TA to discuss and edit our essay. Justin didn't come because he was sleeping. Sandy went to Waterloo. So it was just Maggie and I. Guess who else didn't show up, that's right.. our TA didn't freaking show up! I can't believe we waited a whole hour waiting for that irresponsible woman to come. Honestly what kind of TA would forget to attend two group meetings arranged by both her and the group members... That is just wrong, I believe this is a great opportunity to bribe her for participation marks. But that one hour wait wasn't entirely redundant, I had a good talk with Maggie :) she got locked out of her res because she forgot her access key. I told her to report to the front desk that she locked herself out, but she didn't want to. Something about an ego of hers and it's almost the end of the year and how it will look bad on her :D kidding!
Then later in the afternoon I went to a senior retirement home to do some volunteering for my gerontology class. I need 10 hours of volunteering with old people older adults (Gerontology raised my awareness to misused terms towards the elderly) [Jen LOL]. So our task was just to chill with the elders. Talk to them, play games with them, watch tv with them, etc. Throughout the three hours I've spent there, I noticed older adults are living really tiresome lives. It's not in any specific way that I feel this, but its generally a negative experience to grow old, in terms of physiological decline and lack of socialism. This elder named Wes has really poor vision. He could not see us within arms-length distance and his hearing is really bad. In terms of mentality, he is very bright for a 91 year old! he had two wives, one passed away due to cancer and one passed away due to Alzheimer's. He has two sons aged 57 and 59. Despite the sad lost of his wives, he can still crack a joke at times, and be fully able to recall his past experiences of the world war with ease. Apparently, he was an engineer for the 2nd world war for Poland. He has a whole album of pictures he took during that time. It's really fascinating to explore 91 years of past history within a single individual. Imagine all the things he's seen in his life, all the places he's been to, all the experiences he had in the past generation. It's amazing to comprehend such a different life compared to our own. Cool.
During the second half of the visit, we spent time with an older female resident, Noel. She is described as bossy by the cleaning lady. Although i noticed she is a bit closed up at first, but she gladly opened up to those that approached her. She taught us how to play Backgammon, a board game! I never knew how to play before, but trust me elders are not stupid, they are fully capable of teaching Jen and I how to play board games! She didn't participate in the game itself, she only facilitated the game and made sure we wouldn't break the simplest of rules. She thought I cheated, but I didn't! Oh well Jen knows I didn't and it's no use arguing to her about it :P but Jen you only won that game because you got that extra turn LOL. So after 3 games of backgammon, we watched a video cassette (they still exist!) of some Disney movie about dogs. I fell asleep because I was so tired, but Jen found it interesting. Not more interesting than my iPhone right? Haha. So that was my Saturday! Went back to mac ate at commons to only realize I only had a dollar on my meal card. Karen came back to mac during the night and she and Justin made pizza and I ate some.

Sunday was boring. I was suppose to go back to the seniors home to volunteer again, but I really wanted to study for bio today. I kind of feel bad too because we promised Noel that we would go back and finish watching the movie with her. I hope she doesn't remember us or she'll be mad next time she sees us! So instead I went to Thode library with Karen. I got a fair amount of work done, I don't know about her but she spent most of her time staring at this girl sitting behind me scratching her ass. LMFAO. then later went to bistro (never went for a while cause we ran out of money...) with Karen, Justin, Jen, Jason and Natalie. Went back to res and did chem quiz, helped others (and also received help) to do it.

Karen and Justin came up at 12am. This is what they do every time they come up. He plays DS and she tries to cam whore with him.



They schemed a plan to make me eat all the lunchables they brought and make me fat, but in the end they ate most of it themselves. And now it's 4:20am and I'm still pecking my iPhone lol. Time for bed, good night..!

Fly awayy

There are so many things that need to be done, I don't even know where to start. The bio test next week is giving me so much pressure! I just need to do good on this one. I must! Then there's the psych report due on the same day. Not to mention my last chem lab just so happen to ALSO BE ON THE SAME DAY. But its okay! I just have to start things earlier and resist procrastination! I think university has taught me how to cope with problems like these. I heard from an upper year student that workload increases in 2nd and 3rd year, but people learn to handle the increased amount of workload. Afterall, we are specializing into a field we desire. Interest is a major motivation and an important factor in any studying purposes! It's work worth doing.
I seriously need to start applying for jobs. Time is running out but I just have no time... Ahhh! I'm still debating if I want to stay I Hamilton for the summer or not. I think taking summer school is a wise choice and I really want to do that. But I'm also viewing this case from my family's perspective. My mom missed me practically for the whole year. She told her sister (and my aunt told me) that it's like she lost her son or something. I think that's universal to any parent/guardian out there. As they watch their child enter university, it's like they've grown into adulthood and it is time to leave the family. I can definitely say that's true the moment anyone leaves for post-secondary education, after school people start working (for most of us, when school is done we'll be in our late 20's) and afford their own house and get married and thank mom and dad for raising you into a successful human being. What parents give to their children in a lifetime will always be greater than the amount they receive, be it love, morals, respect or values.
So anyways, the point of all that is, should I stay for the summer or not :(
I still need to get my g2 before my g1 expires in July LOL
