World on a Plate was a success Tuesday night, but it also managed to pretty well knock me on my ass for the rest of the week. I got behind in work for the first time this semester and was just plain exhausted most of the time. But it was worth it. After serving up all of our latkes and kugel we all pretty much collapsed onto the floor. I got to that point of drunken tiredness where you just start laughing and yelling and making sad camel noises as loud as you possibly can. I haven’t been to...

Jess, Tama and I keep seeing bunnies every time we go out a night. It’s all very strange. We see them. We try to lure them to us, and then we sing “Bunnies make the world go around” to the tune of the cabaret classic “money makes the world go around”. It hilariously entertaining.

So I’ve mentioned my qualms with Jesus Week. I was not impressed by their slogan “Absolut Truth” and thus I took action. Besides my little t-shirt protest, I also sent an e-mail to the Multi-Faith Resource Centre, the Central Student’s Association, the CSA Human Rights office, the Human Rights and Equity office, and to all of the Christian organizations on campus. This was the e-mail I sent out: I am a first year student at Guelph and I am writing in regards to the slogan and symbol cho...

Last night we had a drunken party of fun on the third floor and it was awesome. I haven’t been drunk once at school all year, and I wouldn’t say I got plastered last night, but I was at the happy fun point of being buzzed where you laugh loud, and sing loud, but are still able to keep guys from grabbing your ass. A good place to be as far as I’m concerned. The best part of the night was that our Vice President of the rez came up stairs and did like ten shots on an empty stomach within an ho...

I went to dance class by myself tonight because Jess and Tama had to grocery shop for world on a plate. Whatever. I almost didn’t go, but willpower prevailed and I braved the cold and the snow to make my way to modern jazz class. It was actually a lot of fun tonight. One of the girls in my acting class is also in the dance class so I stood with her and we identified the “sass cats” in our class. Oh there are many a sass cat. They can commonly be identified by bragging about how they are a...

This is the e-mail response I got from the Jesus Week coordinator after I clarified why I found the statement “Absolute Truth” offensive: "Thanks for replying so quickly. I think you are right that the idea of "Truth" can seem derogatory when one religion is contrasted with another. Oddly enough, the word "absolute" entirely modifies this connotation of truth; "absolute" means that something exists or is measured independently with NO relation to something else (Oxford Advanced Learner's D...

He can say the nicest things about me followed by the meanest things about me and yet we laugh about both. I gots me a good relationship with my oh-so-tolerant pseudo big brother.

So today my goal was to finish reading Utopia. It didn't happen. I read forty pages, but it took me two hours because I kept falling asleep. (not enough sleep last night!) But that's okay because I'm a virile woman. ) After my readnap I went up to Jess and Tama's room where we laughed... a lot. So the afternoon wasn't a total waste. Anyway, there's a serious blog to come, but I just wanted to take some time to talk about titles. I like my titles. But apparently I've been confusing ...

All I want to do is get this essay done, yet instead I find myself staring off in space. Not good. All I have to do is write 500 to 750 words. Not so bad. In fact I just wrote 320 before deciding that maybe I should change my topic. I wish I had something thrilling to write about today other than my own boredom, but nothing all that exciting happened. Nor do I have anything to review or bitch about. Meh, I guess I can't complain.

Did you ever notice how Oblivian and Bolivian are only one letter placement apart? Maybe it's a sign I should go to Bolivia?

I bought my very first photocopy card today. Look at me go figuring out how all this shit works! Though I must have had a blatantly first year look as I struggled with change and the machines and such. Ah well, yay me! This week has been chock full of insanacrap. I've been staying up until two or three every night and then getting up at 8am every morning. It's not a good scene. The trouble is that Conan is tempting me too him in the wee hours of the morning and I just can't refuse! I...

I'm leaving for my reading week in the next half hour, which may maean a severe lack of blog. Well more severe than usual. Bah. I'm so excited for sleep tonight! My room mate had to leave for a flight to Bermuda at 4am today, so she juststayed up all night. Good for her. Not good for me! At three thirty she was practically jumping on her suitcase while making aggravated noises and I was in my bed stuffing pillow into my ears and praying for sweet relief. And now I have to do my dishe...

So I'm home. And I've been sleeping in until one in the afternoon. It's only been two days so far with the sleeping in, but it's making me want to spend all day in my pjs instead of going outside. Ultimately it's not such a bad thing, I just have to be careful, because that can lead me into the depression. And I'm trying to avoid that. I haven't done a lick of work, but I'm going to try to do some today. I've been spending most of my time with Phantom which has been great. It would be b...

So here I go. I'm back in Guelph and fighting my way into the rest of this semester. I'm feeling okay. I've got some hardcore work to do in the next little while, but since I pretty much have to get through it, I suppose I will. But I'm sitting here listening to the new Ani Difranco cd "Educated Guess" that Jess just gave me, and I think it's going to save me for the next three weeks. Ani has saved my life so very many times without knowing it. What an awesome power she has. Hopefully m...

I'm taking a well deserved break from Spanish, as I've been at it for two and a half hours. It is break time. Today was sunny. And the sun lasted until after five thirty. And this made me more chipper than I had expected. It's like the magical sunshine spring teaser was what I needed to make it through the day smiling. Today in terms of classes it was a phoning-it-in kind of day as I just watched presentations. Otherwise I've been Spanishing it up old school, which is very necessary. ...
