I slept this afternoon. I hadn’t intended to. The plan was to come home from grocery shopping and do readings for class. These past few semesters all I had to do to nod off was crack open my Enviro Chem textbooks. They bored me to tears most days.

No so with this semester’s textbooks. Even the Stats one seems interesting. I grabbed my pens and hi-liter and was just about to settle a textbook in my lap when *poof* I feel asleep. Textbooks never moved from their stacked pile at my elbow. But I slept. Uninterrupted. For four hours! It was wonderful. I know I desperately needed it.

Of course the downside to sleeping through my planned study time is that I have more to do tomorrow. And the forecast says it’ll be between +6C and +10C. While everyone else is playing in the sun I’ll be in my basement reading papers, textbooks, and writing out my responses to my assignments. Unfortunately I can’t procrastinate this weekend or I’ll fall massively behind in my three (yes 3! – I still don’t know what I was thinking when I registered this past semester) classes.

Can’t have everything.

While I’m on the topic of school and Enviro Chem, my final grades for the course are finally in. Considering that I didn’t recognize ANYTHING on my final exam I’m thrilled with my final marks. I was dreading having to repeat the class since if I didn’t pass the exam I wouldn’t pass the course. Silly university rules! No option to fall back on a cumulative course grade to pass if the final exam isn’t passed…

Drumroll please.

I’ve added another A- (3.7) to my transcript. As far as percentages go, it’s the lowest mark I’ve obtained since I enrolled at RMC but thank goodness for grade ranges. No F (or B) on this transcript yet. It’s a huge load off my mind knowing that I don’t have to retake the class. On to bigger and better things now.

Before the much appreciated crash I did manage to make the trip to the Post Office and send Drew another package. Compared to one’s I’ve sent in the past this one was pretty sparse. Mostly foodstuffs. I didn’t remember to sit down and write a letter or record any home videos this week so I’ll need to try and do a bit of that tomorrow too. I’ll consider it my break from studying in the afternoon.

Next week I’m heading to STOMP! with Loxley and Boo. I’m really looking forward to it since I haven’t seen Boo in months. The following weekend is the Celt-X Rabbie Burns night and I should be picking up my ticket for that tonight. I’m bringing the camcorder and many tapes with me. Lots of former band mates and friends will be there and they all want to record a message for Drew. Shades of our social in Winnipeg. Drew was in Bosnia for that and we recorded messages for him. Of course, we have no VCR now so watching those again won’t happen anytime soon.

Must remember to charge camcorder batteries.

If you’re local (Edm area) and looking for something to do on Jan 31 consider picking up a ticket to the Celt-X event. Proceeds go to developing a school for pipers and drummers. A traditional Burns supper is in the offing and entertainment is provided by the boys of St. James Gate out of Red Deer. They’re an amazingly high spirited and talented celtic band and the official band of the Edmonton Girls Pipe Band.
