On Monday I went with my mum to tour the Lakehead University campus, which is the university that I have applied to. The campus is relatively small, but I still think that I am going to get lost a lot in the beginning. The residences look pretty good, though. The rooms are pretty spacious, which is good as I like my space and privacy. The campus is pretty, with a lake and river running through it, and lots of trees around. They also have a pool in the rec centre, which is a major plus for me. I love to swim, and having a pool nearby will be really fun.
I have been waiting for a reply to my applications for a long time (I sent them in November), and I have finally heard something from the admissions office. Unfortunately it was not an acceptance, but a letter telling me that I didn't have all of the requisites for being considered. Turns out that a course wasn't put onto my application. So now I have to get more paperwork and stuff done, and wait even longer. I am pretty upset about it, but at least now I know what's been taking so long.
I am probably just as bad as you when it comes to procrastination, Katie. I have discovered that I am a believer in the pleasure now, work later philosophy, as opposed to work now, pleasure later. I think I work well under the pressure of a looming deadline, which doesn't help the procrastination at all. I looked up Zipped, and it sounds like a really intense book. It probably has a major plot twist right at the end or something. I also love Shakespeare; his plays are a reason why I have chosen to major in English. I have never been to a music concert, which sucks, but I have been to a ballet. It was amazing, and I'd love to see one again. As for e-mailing teachers, I have only done it for e-learning (my online courses) and for an e-mail assignment I had to do for co-op.
Kira, I think the pop/soda thing stems from the Canadian/American differentiation. I have always said pop, everyone I know here says it, but I know that Americans say soda. I've always found that one a bit strange. Your explanation of robotics sounds insane. Do you make or assemble parts? I think that making parts could be pretty difficult. I don't think I've ever had a migraine, but I used to get really terrible headaches. Turned out that I had a condition called Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension, which isn't as bad as it sounds (I don't know if I've told you all about it before). Basically, pressure in my head with no apparent cause. I hope you start feeling better soon!
Campion, your strange obsession with bad movies confuses me a bit. I can't stand bad movies, or movies when things don't make sense, or movies that are just bad rip-offs of other (better) movies. I can be pretty picky about what movies I like.
While I was writing this, I was thinking about my thought and writing process. Most times, I write pretty coherently, with things separated and all English-like. On the rare occasion, I just let my mind spew out and ramble, which I don't think makes for very interesting posts. I'm not a big fan of random thoughts, as I am an organization freak.Also, like you Katie, I tend to kind of read everyone's posts twice. I read them on the day they are posted, and then go back and reread them on Thursdays, looking for things that I want to say or reply to. It helps me with remembering if you guys asked a question. I usually open up notepad so that I don't forget something that I want to say. Ends up looking like this by the time I'm actually ready to write:
I hope you all had good, relaxing breaks. Don't forget to be awesome!

(P.S- I think I am going to choose a colour and have all of my posts be like that. I really like the way it looks when Katie does it.)
