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.

Class Registration
July 31, 2002 by Gail
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 are prohibitive (4:30 starts) or they conflict with other classes. Lots of Linguistics classes at Harbour Centre, and I did manage to get the one class I wanted very badly — LING 110 (this I had to withdraw from this term — long saga), and except one instructor I was warned to avoid, and the third instructor is the Acting Chair for the Department of Linguistics, which is part of that long aforementioned saga… which I may post one rainy, rainy day in the winter. Maybe. Suffice to say that it was not a pleasant experience by any stretch of the imagination.
The other courses are not full yet, except of course the class I wanted the most after LING 110, and that’s a Philosophy course called “The Meaning of Life.” No wonder it’s full — we’re all searching for the meaning of life!! When and if I do take that course, I wonder kind of mark I would get?
There is a Humanities course I really really wanted to take, about the *Future*, but it is at exactly the same time as the LING 110 class. Drat. I hope it’s offered again next term.
I just talked to my mother. I haven’t seen her since Mother’s Day. She says Madeleine is prettier than Melissa, more exotic. Yikes — how can you say that? I think all three kids are really, really cute, in their own way. They look like siblings, but each has his or her own distinct features. Besides, babies change constantly — how they look now is only going to last a matter of days … and how can you compare a 9-month old baby to a 3-yr old child?? Sheesh. My mother’s had 4 kids, so you’d think she’d be less biased about such things. Doesn’t having more kids (and seeing how much they change over time) make you more neutral? Guess not.

Quality Sleep
July 31, 2002 by Gail
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.
