Kristin and I got invited over to Bernie and Martine’s place for a Swiss Day BBQ on Thursday! If there’s raclette, I’ll be one happy bunny.
This afternoon I had a bit of calm, so I tried to register for classes. I wasn’t feeling too optimistic about it, but I was surprised to find myself getting through on the third attempt of the day. I don’t have a great deal of choice for courses this term, unfortunately — either the times [...]
Handed in my Latin American Studies paper on the film “Strawberry and Chocolate”, so now I’ve just got two exams and that’s it until… September! A few weeks respite. I am currently running on one whole hour of sleep. Yep, that’s right, one single hour. But it was a quality hour.
Self-fulfilling prophecy — I pulled an all-nighter. The kicker was not being able to get into SFU’s telephone registration this morning. After half an hour, I just gave up and tried to get some sleep.

0 Comments Published by Gail (blogspot) July 29th, 2002 in Culture + Society, Student LifeAh, familiar territory. Almost half past one in the morning and I’ve got as far as the Works Cited section and figuring out what I’m trying to write about. Maybe my creative juices just don’t flow under normal circumstances. Maybe I need to be half-delirious first.
I’ve read some articles on “Strawberry and Chocolate” and find [...]
Back from a morning shift at the HI-Vancouver Jericho Beach Hostel infodesk, which went later than usual. I think trying to organize things are easier when there are two people on, because I was answering questions and all the brochures were piled up on the desk, on top of the stuff I needed to answer [...]
The most recent album is Friday’s HI-Vancouver fam trip: Catherine’s Chinatown Tour + the CN IMAX film “Kilimanjaro: From the Roof of Africa”.
