2nd semester go go!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
Did everyone enjoy the holidays? Mine was mostly celebrated with family and immediately after new years, the next day I had to prepare to go back to Victoria and start the new spring semester. Looking at my semester schedule, I wonder whether I will survive or not. I am sure like any other semester I will, but this will be the first time I will attempt to complete six courses in one semester. I have always done four to five per semester. Pray I will go through this semester not smoothly... because I can foresee the tough times ahead but just merely going through the semester is good enough and not give up halfway. The good thing about the courses I'm taking though... I probably won't have exams during exam periods so my semester will finish on the last day of classes. Woot woot.
So what does the new year have in store for myself?
Right now, I see myself attempting to get through this semester whilst finding a job whilst possibly finding a new place to stay. I have to start thinking about summer plans as well, whether I will take summer school or not. On top of that, the funding is a big worry for myself.
Some might say, I should not worry about the summer stuff and think about my semester and just make sure I don't fail all my courses. That is of course a priority for me so when asked about my plans for 2013... I only have a four month plan so far and that is to study and not fail these six courses.
I received a great motivation today as I picked up a final essay I slaved over last semester and received this encouraging mark a long with encouraging comments throughout the paper.

I am so happy and proud that this paper will be my motivation for this semester. I can do this. The prof even said that she would like to use my paper as part of her course, when she teaches the course next semester. It was a simple and small gesture but it made my day today because even though I slave over and feel like giving up, if I work on it for a while, I can do this. This semester, I strive to be more organized and write most of my essays like this. MOST, not all because I know it's impossible, no matter how you think it, as I will have 6 courses. One of them is a language course on top of that. 
This paper... will be my motivation! yes.

Blueberry picking day one?

Today... Was a freakin loooong day! I started pretty early around 8ish? Well I woke up around 7ish to get ready and my whole family along with my mom's friend went to the blueberry farm. It is an organic farm so everything is natural. Well it is a good thing for the customers but it is quite a challenge for the pickers. Since it rained last night, early in the morning the bushes were still wet. It was slightly chilly too. In a way it made work a lot more tolerable because it was so cool and I thrive on the cool weather. There was one summer where all I did was raspberry picking. From then on I never wanted to eat raspberries again. However that has been slowly changing. This time if I continue to pick blueberries I might I won't want to eat blueberries for a long time. That is a little sad but sadly it might come true. We worked for a long time until around 4ish and I didn't do well. However it was also the first day or everyone. I don't know. I only managed 2 bucket...

End of the semester!.... soon

So.... my 3rd year as a university student is slowly coming to an end... Exactly on April 5th it will end... That is if I don't take summer courses this semester. I am still wondering about that this year. Whether to do that or not. Anyways, I have exciting news to post today. I got an e-mail from the university, after FINALLY declaring my major of a general Pacific and Asian Studies BA, I can graduate next year in April. If I don't decide to minor that is. If I do decide to minor then I'm afraid I have to graduate in 2015 but if not... I can graduate next year... in April. How exciting is that? I know most people would like to be a university forever... but I think otherwise. I am kind of tired of school right now and just do something... mind numbing for a while I guess. However, I probably will get tired of that too quickly and need to find a job. I don't know what job I can get with my major but I'm not worried about that... as much... right now. What I am ...

Now that I am home

I have been back home for 3 days already. It feels more like a week already because this stupid jetlag is not helping me at all. Today is the 11th already. It doesn't feel like it. Today? Yesterday? well on the 10th, I meant to wake up earlier... like 10 in the morning but instead, I woke at around 4 in the evening. Just in time for the dinner gathering my family had with my aunt and uncle that came by from the other side of Canada. It was nice to see them again but the whole time I was kicking myself in my head because I didn't wake up earlier. Now I am suffering from the consequences... It sucks because outside... there is light already.  I should go to bed because there is another family gathering I have to go to at 9:30am and I have an orientation thing that I have to go to with the volunteering thing I am doing this summer at 1pm... and I think I might have to drive for it. But here's the thing... I can't sleep.  Sleep~ please come to me now... at least for ...
