Harumph

It snowed yesterday in good 'ol Quebec.  I cried a little (ok, a lot) on the inside.  I bought a bouquet of daffodils on Wednesday from the Canadian Cancer Society's table in the school library.  It's a fundraiser they do.  So I have daffodils on my kitchen table and snow outside my window.  Something is seriously wrong with this picture!

I'm doing my volunteering at the local library today.  It's the activity time with kids.  Read stories, play games, do crafts, all that good stuff.

When I walked into class on Wednesday my profesor asked me if I had gotten any news recently.  I go ummmm no.  He then asks if I had gotten any GOOD news lately? I'm really confused by this point.  He said not to ask any questions.  The whole time he has this cat ate the canary smile on his face haha.  The first thing that came to mind is Grad School...he is one of my references and I thought maybe he somehow knew I had gotten in? But I just got the email from my school last week saying they'd received all my documents and I was expecting to hear back 4ish weeks from then...it had only been a week and a half at this point.  Then I thought it might be the bursary I applied for (which I found out today I got-800$!!), but it would seem weird for him to know about that.  It's been driving me crazy!!  I'm dying here people!

Happy Sunday!

I'm spending mine chained to my desk.  The topic of the hour is neuro psych.  Did you know that the golgi apparatus produces lysosomes, which are sacs that contain enzymes and whose function it is to break down cellular structures no longer needed by the cell? Well, you do now.  Don't you feel enlightened?  I also have to read two more chapters of my quebec history book and write a 500-600 word summary for each chapter.  I have two midterms on Tuesday: neuro psych and psych of human sexuality.  Oh ya and a novel to read for tomorrow.  I've read it before and the novel quizzes are super easy.  Things like, "what is the father's name?" The book is only like 100 pages too.

Yesterday was library day! Once a month me and a few other girls from Bishop's run an activity day at the library.  We read stories (duh), do crafts, and play games.  Because Valentine's Day is in February I made pink cupcakes with pink frosting and bought different sprinkles and cinnamon hearts for the kids to decorate with.  It went really well : )

Anyways, back to the golgi apparaturus...

Flirting with Grad School

Recently I've been doing spending a lot of time researching Masters programs.  I'm not 100% sure about teacher's college, and I've found some really cool programs for library studies.  I would want to be a children's librarian, so I could hopefully find a library job in a school.  I'll be applying to SFU to do teacher's college prereqs, and two Grad schools (one in Ireland and one in Ontario) for sure.  I'm looking at two others in Alberta and Quebec.  I would really really like to get out of Quebec though haha.  Lots of exciting options for next year!
