Wrapping Up

I realized that the post I wrote a couple days ago didn't actually update a whole lot other than whining about gas prices and Bible studies. So, I decided to "take a break" and write.

I reeled in a couple scholarships last week, albeit not the biggest - any amount will help, actually - and it was pretty cool. I guess when you have a small school, they will actually have a chapel dedicated to listing every scholarship and everyone who's won them. The amount I got will help me pay for almost one course, so that is almost one course that I don't have to pay for!

Anyways, technically speaking, all my assignments are done for the year. Because of some inconvenience, there is still one paper that is lingering around; it is a group paper, and there is not too much that I can actually do while I wait. So with that said, I just hope to goodness that I can actually hand some sort of final product in on Wednesday because I really don't want to have to think about this paper anymore. The thing about group papers is that if one person slacks, the group goes nowhere. I don't want to blame my group members, but I was kind of hoping that the paper would be done before the weekend.

Aside from that, all I've got to do is decide on a church I want to work at for the next school year. I'm not actually sure how long the process will take because I waited so long to actually phone churches. But it seemed that our entire group hadn't done it either. Heh. And when I finally decided to phone up a few churches today, no one was available. Is it just me, or do all pastors take Mondays off? I'd personally pick Tuesday, but that's just me. Well, I have a good idea of what church I want, so I'll just have to try to work it out in the next couple weeks.

With my finals, I have three. They are decently spread out, so I will have good time to study for them. The only thing that seems a bit ironic is that my last exam is on Easter Monday. Yeah, I go to a Bible college, and we have to write an exam on Easter Monday. *Insert sarcastic smile* Given my failure of an effort in course work this term, I am actually in an okay position with my grades. Of course, getting a "B" on certain papers will upset me; but I guess once a B's student, always a B's student. So I should be in okay shape as I head into the finals.

Finally, the wonders of looking for a summer job. I haven't started looking yet. I find it funny that one of the goals I made this year was to be more driven; and although I have improved in some areas, there are still those other things that when I think about it, I just want to crawl into my bed and hide. I don't like applying for jobs, what can I say? Hopefully I can get to it soon!

Other than that, it looks like I'll be moving back to Edmonton on the last day of April. I'll take a few days after my last exam to evaluate the year and pack up. Then, on Saturday, I'll be making the drive back up!  My parents said they want to have lunch with the family that I live with, which I think is a nice gesture because I don't want to finish my exam and then just jet back up. That's a bit of a jerk move.

So, until then...
