Well, another year of constant schooling is done with. That’s 2 out of 4, not too shabby.
Last night’s exam was…interesting. I feel that the professor pulls questions out of thin air which are not based within the textbook or the lectures. So then I have to take wild guesses at the answers. I find her to be very unprofessional – as in she is telling everyone to shut up while the exam is occuring but then is passing out essays (by calling out people’s names). Way to let people concentrate lady!
I am on Day One of Freedom and am pondering what to do with it. It looks like it’s going to be a killer weekend coming so I will have time to finally clean my car after a winter of neglect. I also have to map out what the heck I want to do for summer holidays. I am toying around with the idea of doing some camping in the Adirondacks/Catskill and then heading into New York City to see the sights. But at the same time, I think it would be cool to go down to Gaspé for a bit to hang out with the folks. Haven’t figured out if I will head home for summer this year. There is a wedding I could go to, and there’s also Lumberjack Festival but I really didn’t care for the festival last year so I don’t know if my time could be spent elsewhere. Plans to plan, that’s the rub of it. I have to submit my vacation want list by next week. Yikes!
I am also looking forward to catching up on some reading of things I LIKE, rather than school readings. I am nearly down Stompin’ Tom’s second autobiography and I am starting a book Krista lent me which is called The Rebel Sell which talks about how culture can’t really be jammed because it just envelops the jam itself. For example, when a little revolution comes along (like punks for example), culture just wraps themselves around it and then it becomes a commodity (like how it’s cool to be punk). I am interested to hit upon talks of the alternative scene and how Kurt Cobain couldn’t handle the stress of it all – wanting to be anti-establishment when he eventually became the establishment. He was the figurehead of the alternative scene which is an oxymoron later on as it really wasn’t an alternative scene, it was THE scene of the moment.
Also want to buckle down and get some songwriting done. I have bits and pieces of riffs, lyrics and song ideas floating in my head which I need to solidify into actual songs.
I also want to reconnect with friends – it’s not like I’ve lost touch (well, not in my mind at least) but I don’t get to see people all that much due to school.
All in all, I am looking forward to the next few months before school hits up again and I get sucked into its pit of doom. Until then, p-a-r-t-y time!

WOOOT!
Bring on the summer!
Hey I see you’re thinking of not attending the Lumberjack this year, but I wanted to let you know of some changes, although not too many…first off, all events on Saturday will be in the park with nothing out across from the arena, then Sunday all the horse events will be out at the arena with nothing on the park. They think this might help. Don’t know if you know yet, but it’s Dr. Hook that is playing at the festival this year. I’ll let you know more as I find out!
