Ugggh.. I don't know how much time has elapsed but I finished four seasons of Chuck in a short amount of time. And now I have to wait for October for the fifth and final season.. TOO LONG!!
In the meantime...? I do have this weeks shows to catch up on. And at least I have good long shifts for then next week and a bit.. but still.. Oh well, at least September is approaching quickly.
Man it's bad when my only worries are about what to watch next... :s
Maybe I should try and get through one of those books I have yet to get even halfway thru.. I just want some intellectual stimulation!!!
But it has started to cool down quite a bit, summer is coming to a close already so maybe I'll go one some evening runs.. Or soccer in the field with roomie! I keep forgetting!!

TV Timeout
Augh I'm tired of TV but otherwise I have nothing else to do. And it helps me keep my mind off things that I have no control over.
Not that I don't have control over this, but I started thinking about my future. I was looking at all the classes that I'll be taking or could be taking for kinesiology. It clued in how tough it's going to be once I get to my fourth year (of the program), what with practicum and all (which will actually be really cool though). I can't help but worry that I won't be able to do it. Which is slightly ridiculous because of course I'll be learning things along the way that will prepare with the knowledge to complete these classes. And I know that I shouldn't be worry about what will happen in about 2 years time, because hey, that's 24 months and a person can change in just a sixth of that time. But it's also scary to look past schooling and see what you might be doing after.
There is a bright side to this though. Looking at some of these classes I realized just how well the programs are designed to prepare you for whichever career path you may take. I found that there's a class for ergonomics (which I've looked a bit into) and there's also a note on my degree requirements paper that says to take a certain class if you happen to be interested in biomechanics or motor control-which I very may well might be.
So it's not all doom and gloom in store for 2013-2014 :)
And once again I know I'm being presumptuous and dramatic when I say that, but right now that's how I feel. Just with everything that has happened to me this summer it just seems like that would be my path.
But I gotta keep it positive and look at what I have coming this fall. Now I just wish my advisor had gotten back to me today about the note in beartracks saying contact the faculty for certain restricted classes.. I hope to have at LEAST 4 classes/semester!!!!!! Tomorrow I have the chance to get into 2 more classes, but this time for winter semester.
Half a month to go!!!

Is It Over Yet?
Even though I know I'm going back to school I still have negative emotions. I guess it's just that I still kind of feel the same way I did before talking to my mom and deciding to do whatever it takes to go to school this fall. I so deeply want to be in all those kines classes! The good news is that I out of the 10 classes for the year, I am already in 1, and only 1 other is full at the moment. I have a chance at getting into 2 of them on Monday, and the rest I'm not too sure. I should have looked into this that first day, but I think I have to contact the faculty to let me in. So I emailed my advisor what's up with that. I assume hope that she asks which classes, I give her the list and she manually puts me in or something like that. I just hope that the 15th doesn't mark the day when everyone else has the same idea and tried to get into those classes.. All it said was don't contact the faculty before the 8th.. Man I am just kicking myself in the butt for not having payed any attention to this earlier. So I really have no place to complain if it doesn't fall together. So my fingers are crossed, and the logic works out in my mind that I should be back to a full course load for 2011/12..
A little side note: I love how because the faculty is pretty small that it's really easy to organize your schedule. So far for fall I have it set up that 4 days of the week I am done at 2. How awesome is that? That means more days open for work, soccer AND bowling practice! (And studying I guess.. :p)
I will be SO happy if everything finally just works out!!
Ps: Today was definitely a lazy day, I have barely moved from my living room. It would have been nice to go out on such a beautiful day but my legs (knees) are SO sore from working and then walking around so much yesterday.

A Social Situation
You all know how I am with people I really don't know. I'm friendly enough but I really can't hold up a conversation. Some days that's the same with my friends, I can just not be in a talkative mood. So you would think a night like tonight may make me anxious.
Surprisingly enough, that was not the case! I was thinking about it a bit, but I wasn't too worried since I get along quite well with my fellow coworkers. If you're wondering, this occasion was the Keg dinner for the 4 drink specialists at my work, we got $200 to spend since we hit our sales target for the month of July.
So for my $50 I got a prime rib dinner, 2 Keg sized drinks, a regular caesar and a tequila shots. The "older" lady (she's about 40, about twice the age of us other 3) bought the tequila. And it was the good stuff! Didn't need the lime at all!
While waiting for our table we were just chatting in the bar (that was a tad uncomfortable, shifty eyes (plus there was a soccer game on right in front of me-I couldn't help myself)) and then while we waited for our food we played Dirty Minds. If you don't know what it is, you definitely need to play it! Someone reads 3 clues and you have to guess what it is. But these clues make you think it's something dirty. The restaurant manager came over and saw and he even played a round with us, it quite funny.
My manager got a tad tipsy and she kept saying that we'll never think the same of her again. Slightly true, I'll just always remember that she's a light weight, haha.
All in all a great, free night!! I then walked home in the rain and finally got to see my roomie after almost 3 months!
I'll probably be in bed shortly, but it's the best Saturday night I've had in a while! Tomorrow is soccer, providing it doesn't rain!! It's shaping up to be a great weekend!

Fuck I Love Chuck!!
I love this show soooo much!!! Zachary Levi is just hilarious as Chuck and I just love him and Sarah! I wasn't feeling to great today, but once I popped in a disc, the laughs came swiftly and got me in a good mood again :D
They are entering their 5th and final season this fall though.. >:( What will I do without them? And I really must get my hands on seasons 3&4 :p
Apparently this show has twice come upon the risk of being cancelled but the fans saved the series. Thank goodness. If I had to chose between Friends, (and you know how much I love that show, which never should have come to an end) it would be really, really tough!!
And it's unfortunate that NBC only ordered 15 or so episodes.. but as long as they tie it up nicely I'll be happy.
I'm really looking forward to Saturday. I'll actually be busy all day and Amber gets here!

Any Day Now
I'm pretty sure I'll be hearing from the University any day now. I checked beartracks and it says my application is completed... And my class schedule is still there. Do I take this as a good thing (that I didn't get booted out of any classes)? Or is there still processing to do? I'm definitely going to wait for the official word before I get excited. But in the meantime I realized that my parents are going out of town soon so I should get on filling out my student loan application. Obviously I won't be submitting it until I hear from the U of A, but if it drags out too long I'll have to submit it anyways..? It takes 4-6 weeks to process if I remember correctly.
I just filled it out, I'm glad it's not a tough process. Now to wait - still.

More Cleaning
I don't remember being so bored this summer!! Maybe it's because I haven't had a two day weekend in a while, but none the less I'm not a fan. Let's see what I've been up to the last little while..

........TOO MUCH
At least yesterday I went for a run and cleaned a bit. I guess I need to keep that going today, I just can't stand just sitting around all day! There are things that I could go do, but it's just that those things aren't exceptionally important so I don't have the boost to go do it. Plus I'm stuck walking everywhere now, and my legs are sore from running yesterday now :p sad excuse, I know.
Well 5 days until Amber finally gets home, HURRAYYYYYY, which is super close so that's good :D
Ok time to make lunch then get cleaning
Ps. Anyone having problems with safari not finding the Facebook server? It's driving me INSANE. I'm thinking it may just be my computer..
