Election

Today is election day in Canada. I was up bright and early to vote.

What saddens me is, most people I speak to do not take the time to vote. What took me a short 4 minutes, from walking into my polling station to walking out the door, is considered a waste of time to so many Canadians. They tell me they are far too busy to care about politics. Yet in turn, these people end up complaining about the Canadian government. I don't know about you, but to me that sounds rather ironic.

My theory on voting is, a lot of people gave up their lives in order for us to have the ability to vote. To not vote dishonours their sacrifice.

We live in such a wonderful country. Vote. It literally takes minutes.

Polls close at 9:30 p.m.

5 Months!

Dexter is 5 months old today! And he is now 10 lbs. :)

Turkey Day!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I think I'm going to get a kitten tonight in Niagara-on-the-Lake, eeeeek. But he isn't for me, he's for my brother. ;)

Dexter and Canned Food

I have no idea how to get my little guy to eat dry food again. My mother started feeding Dexter canned food and all of a sudden he wants absolutely nothing to do with his dry food.

This is really frustrating.

It's About Staying Strong

I've been lying to myself. For years now. It was my way of putting things behind me. It worked but it was such a temporary fix. Now that everything is out on the table I am moving on and it feels good. I'm stuck in a bad place because of past decisions but in time I'll move on from this. I have faith. I am such a strong believer in fate. This happened for a reason. I may never find out why, but all I can do is work through it. And for the people who stuck by me, thank you; I cherish you. And for the people you left when times were rocky, fuck you; I never needed you to begin with.

This life is so magnificent. There is so much to do and see.

Hopefully I'll meet some amazing people on my journey.

Tee's

I really want a Surf Saudi t-shirt. Brilliant.

Course Extension

I spoke with Athabasca U this morning and was able to get a course extension on my PSYC205 Portfolio Development class until December 31, 2008. I'm not completely out of trouble though as my course load is quite extensive next semester.

I'm now enrolled in for next semester (November 1-February 28):

PSYC290 General Psychology
PSYC304 Research Methods in Psychology
PSYC315 Psychology and the Mass Media
PSYC379 Social Psychology.

But my stress has now been significantly reduced. I have two major essay's left to write and two final exams and then I can work on my Portfolio Development class.

I should have applied for this course extension a month ago, it would have saved me a lot of pressure and stress.

Awesome. I'm happy.
