Blogging Milestones

Something happened recently that is a true milestone for my blog. As of my most recent post about Trent University, I have hit one hundred posts.

In my last one hundred posts, I complained, I ranted and I generally got stuff off my chest. What lies in store for me in my next hundred posts? Only time will tell.

Until next time...

University of Ontario Institute of Technology

There is some news on the education front that I would like to share with you all. I have been accepted into the concurrent education program at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT). I will be majoring in physics and minoring in math.

I got accepted to teacher's college. I will be a high school math and science teacher. I had said I was going to go to Trent University, but now that I have been accepted to the concurrent program, I say forget them.

UOIT is perfect for me, other than the lack of social sciences. It is only fifteen minutes from my house, and I will still be staying on residence for my first year. The proximity will allow me to keep my job if I want, and the best part of all is that since I am doing both my bachelor of science and my bachelor of education at the same time, I will not have to apply to teacher's college when I graduate. I am already in.

All in all, this is going to be great.

Until next time...

Trent, Here I Come

I have accepted the offer of acceptance, I have applied for residence. I am as good as there.

It has been a few days since I posted, and this insanity with Trent and the Ontario University Application Centre (OUAC) has left me a little drained. That and I seem to have a cold.

It has been a fairly good last few days for me. I am Smart Serve certified, I've finished with university acceptances and such, and just generally I am feeling great.

Huzzah for everything.

Until next time...

Natural Light, it Burns...

I learned a very important lesson yesterday, the lesson having to do with the harshness of nature. The lesson was, wear some sunscreen when you will be outside for the better part of seven hours.

I now have first degree burns to my face, neck, hands and arms. To top this all off, I had to work with those burns last night, and I have to again in a few hours. I have taken an advil and used the sunburn first aid spray I bought and it still burns like hell. I do not know what I am going to do once those two things wear off.

Damn you, ultraviolet rays.

Until next time...

Stress

I am so stressed out lately... Between work and my co-op, I have not had a day off in weeks. The problem is that I am not just sitting down all day learning. I am actually doing work all day every day.

With university looming over the horizon as well, I have money woes to add on to my pile of stressors. What I need is a Saturday or a Sunday off, where I can just relax and get away from all the things in life that are stressing me out right now.

I think that what may do me some good is to go out with some friends. Maybe that would help relax me. Maybe just a coffee or something, or a night out. I have not had a night out with my friends in a good month and a half.

Anyways, I shall now bid you all farewell. Yours truly needs a bit of sleep, so that he might help children to learn tomorrow morning.

Until next time...
