On Sunday I finally found a bookstore that had The Princess Bride by William Goldman (a.k.a. S. Morgenstern), and it was a hardcover version so it was a little pricey but...I have been looking for it everywhere and have found it nowhere else but in the BSS library. SOOooo....I bought it and it's pretty and I really like it and I already read about 3/4 of it when I took it out from the school library because I had to return it but at least I already know I like it. :)

Anyway...think have finally decided which of my potential university schedules I like the best and so that's what I'll be trying for on the online course registration at 6:00 am on Thursday morning. Geez, I can't believe it's already almost August 1st...August used to seem so far away...and my driving test is on August 2nd....Friday....*shudders*. I'm not a bad driver or anything, but there are a lot of rules and things during the test that people don't necessarily follow in real-life driving. Wish me luck.... although it's not really a tragedy if I fail since I am in the city next year and so it'd be really easy to reschedule sometime...

Waaaaaiit...I move in on September 1st...so there's still a day in between! *looks hopeful*

Well something will probably come up and I won't be able to go anyway...

Hmm. How very interesting. There's going to be a Sheryl Crow concert on August 30 at the ACC but the only problem about that is the fact that August 30 is the day before I move into a dorm room at my university. That could pose some difficulties to this otherwise intriguing notion. ...Is that bad? Well, I guess it isn't really the best day for it to be on...but I would really like to go...aw, crap.

Well here I am, again with nothing to do since I've finished everything, in my last week of being a government employee and it's actually gone faster than I thought it would. Well, not fast in the sense that I really want to do it all over again starting from the good old File Room, but it wasn't bad. Not really bad at all. I am glad though that I'll be getting a bit of time off between work and the cruise in August. There are always things I forget that I want to do, that I always say I'll do "when I have time", and maybe during my time off between the end of July and the rest of my life, I'll remember to do some of those things.

I don't really think it's all sunk in yet about university and moving to the dorm. I'll be living at the dorm for 8 out of 12 months of the coming year but my house will still be what I consider my home, in my mind. Somehow in my head it all seems a little temporary, just going away for a while and learning a few things (well, hopefully...and hopefully more than a few) and then eventually I'll be back. I don't know. Maybe I'm in denial about something, but I don't know what. Haven't really spent time thinking about how I'll suddenly be living with 3 or 4 other people and will be going to a new school and a co-ed school, no less. It'll be different for sure. I just don't know how different it'll be or how much it'll affect me. Don't know how this all works and am feeling strangely unsentimental and yet unprepared at the same time.

*shrugs* I don't know. Don't really know how I'm supposed to feel about all this other than feeling the way I feel, but it doesn't make much sense to me anyway. Maybe I'm emotionally closed-off or something, who knows?

And geez, how many times have I said "I don't know" in this post?

Oh, it's just terrible. I think I've finished finding information on the Internet for all of the topics I was given...does this mean I don't get to use the Internet all day at work now?? Who knows what they'll assign me with next? This is awful. But then, I had to finish sometime or they'd be wondering why it was taking so long.... ;)

Oh well. Was good while it lasted. Maybe the next assignment will be something where I get to use the stupid (albeit useful) machine some more? *looks hopeful* We'll see...

All right. I've officially added Spider-Man to my infamous list of favorite movies. Call me crazy -- hell, I already know I am, so it won't bother me or anything.

I don't even really know why I like the movie so much. I mean, honestly. What is it about Spider-Man that makes me enjoy it so much? There are some convenient plot holes. Mary Jane gets attacked far too often. So why is it good?

*shrugs* Well I don't know. Not going to figure it out anytime soon, either, by the looks of it. I'll just have to keep watching it (once it's out on DVD, that is...I've already seen it quite enough times at the theater) and find out my reasons one by one...

For Canada Day yesterday, my parents and I went to play glow-in-the-dark mini-golf. It was the first time I've ever actually won a round of mini-golf before so that was good :). While we were playing my dad accidentally whacked me on the head with his golf club -- it hurt for a while but there was no serious injury of any kind, and I used the incident to make him feel guilty for the rest of the day. ;)

I was in Ottawa on the weekend for my cousin Alana's wedding...it went pretty well and it was nice to see some of my relatives again. It was a 5-hour car trip to and from Ottawa and I'm really glad I remembered to bring my brother's Discman...even though I ended up falling asleep for the majority of the rides. But that's besides the point. :) Brought my CDs that are perfect for trips...the Sheryl Crow album I made is for the beach (Sugar Ray would also work for this purpose), Our Lady Peace for the car, and a bunch of others for backup.

Anyway...Glad to be back. Also: watched crazy/beautiful yesterday. It's a good little movie. Not one of my oh-so-numerous favorites, but good nonetheless.
