Themes and stuff.. interesting & Hello two week break!!

Thank God it’s Friday! I’ve now broken up for two weeks! But I have crap loads of homework, because the teachers think it’s ok to give us 5000 word essays on our holiday.. Like seriously from every single teacher we have like a 5000 word essay. But, I still have a holiday. Also I think I’ll steal Michiel’s stolen idea; That I’ll do a blog every day of April, Well, every day of the holidays. I’ll call it BEDEH (Blog Every Day Easter Holidays). So hopefully that will be on my blog.
Also, We all got together on msn and decided that we would try and theme our blogs, so this week is my turn to set a theme. It is really difficult to think of one, so.. Easter.. I have no idea what we can do about Easter, but we’ll see how it goes. So my question will be, do you get any break over Easter, if so what will you do in it?
Michiel also told me (if he’s reading- sorry for stealing all your ideas) that he has a button on his website where you just type in your email, then click on a button and then his blogs will be sent to your email. I was wondering if we could do that on here, and how we’d do that? If anyone has anyone knows how, or thinks that we shouldn’t do it then lt me know via email or twitter or comments or something.
Now, the questions:
Emma- I try to save for things, but I never succeed. I don’t plan on ever having to worry too much about money.. So, I’d rather ‘live for the moment’ and blow it all on books and stuff :D I suppose though that until I am rich it would be sensible to start saving money. Also, I have decided that it’s very likely I will end up as a lawyer, but I hope that’s before I do something like writing books or something (factual books), but anyhow becoming a lawyer means studying for a long time, and also quite expensive fees but when you do become a lawyer you get payed LOADS!!
Chris- I prefer non-fiction. I am a fairly factual person, I value information and treasure it more than money, so I love anything that fascinates me. I actually dislike a lot of fiction, mainly because I think if they are poorly written books then they’re just terrible! And I find a lot of fiction isn’t that good. Feel free to try and convert me, but for me fiction books are normally terrible or absolutely genious and the best book ever.
It looks like that’s all for this week, Bye!!

FUCK YOU EYES!

For some strange reason my eyes have gotten very sore over the past couple hours. I have tried taking off my glasses, but that doesn't appear to have helped much.


Anyway, I have just returned from Fall Orientation Kickoff, which probably means nothing to you. Every year during the week before school starts we have a Fall Orientation (formerly known as U of C: 101) for all of the new incoming students. The thing is, is that we have about 6000 new students every year, and at least half of them attend orientation week. This also means that they need people to organize and run everything. So they get about 200 volunteers to run the event, on top of the University staff, I believe it's one of the biggest orientation programs in the country. Anyway, due to the large scale of the project they start getting volunteers many months in advance, and today was the first official event to get everyone together.

In related news, they have also created multiple paid positions for the summer to do all the behind the scenes work with the various orientations throughout the summer. So in my on going desperation to find summer work I applied to all the positions offered, and am really hopping I get one of them. Especially since the orientations are really fun, and I would love a job on campus with normal hours. I miss having a job with normal hours haha. I also might have a part time job at the astrophysical observatory.

On a side note, I am potentially planning a trip to San Francisco Pride which is very exciting, and I really hope it works out. It's at the end of June!

On to questions:

My own: I think my favorite things to buy would be electronics, books, shoes in that order haha. I've literally doubled the amount of books and shoes I own in the past year. Now I just need to read them all...

Sam: I didn't entirely understand the case, but it sounds like you have the upper hand with this.

Emma: I try to save money for the future, and can do it if I really want to. But as a student it is very difficult to do. That being said I am forced to save money, since I have to make enough money over 4 months to live for 8 months. The last two years I have just barely made it, but such is life as a student. Fortunately I have not needed to take out any student loans as of yet.

New question: Do you prefer reading fiction or non-fiction?

Someday I’ll hopefully get enough sleep

I’m so tired and was about to go to sleep but then remembered that I hadn’t written my blog so this’ll be a quick one.

Last Thursday I had my big exam in my labour law course and I’ll get the result in three weeks. And today I started my two economy classes. So far I like both the professors but since it’s the first day and ten weeks left I can’t say too much about it.

Let’s continue to the questions before I fall asleep.

Chris question last week was about what our favorite thing to purchase is. I love shopping for clothes, if I had the money I could probably spend all day all days in different clothing stores and buy all the clothes I like. I also love buying movies. At the moment I think I have 6 movies that I’ve bought but not had the time to watch yet.

Sam wanted our opinion on the case and from the info you gave us I would say that he probably is guilty because he had the car key and ran. You don’t run when the police come and you’re innocent, even if you feel ill. You stay and explain. However I think it could be difficult for a jury to convict him since it’s almost impossible to make a positive id of the driver so that could work in his favor.

My question this week is, “Do you save money for the future? Or do you live for the moment and spend all your money now?”
