Two Weeks Already?

Gosh, I suck at blogging! I have a googleReader, so I still get to keep up with all my friends blogs, but wow, I’ve not written a post in TWO WEEKS! I’m sorry. I am bad a keeping in touch.

Basically, not much has gone on this past fortnight… classes have just finished on Wednesday past, I had a term paper to hand in that week too, and I got my midterm back with an 85% – which was a higher grade than ANY of the 5 super geeks I like to call my friends. I was so pleased….

I’m currently working on my final assignment in Canada, an 8-10page paper on the success of feminism, and its effects on masculinity during the period 1870-1970… It’s ok, I have a comprehensive plan… I just don’t have a thesis yet! I think I’m almost there on the thesis development though, with the main theme of my argument being that women posed a threat throughout this period, and that as such, for every gain made, men belittled and lessened it as much as they could, right up until 1970’s.

That’s really all that’s been going on… school, work, sleep…

This week finished up kind of badly to be honest, I seem to have gotten sick, I’ve got a bit of a head cold, which isn’t helping my cognitive functioning, that’s for sure! I also had some aggro in work this week, when one of the assistant managers gave me 6 demerit points for something which was A.) accidental, and B.) not as big a deal as he’s making it out to be. Basically, if he’d done HIS job properly the first time round, the same mistake would not have happened twice… but no, he was in the office with his girlfriend… and it’s ME that’s being accused of neglecting my duties. Grr. I hate student run government and its associated places of work! haha!

It’s all good now though, I’m chilling out in the library with Kelsey, I’m supposed to be working on my thesis, but then I realised how long it’s been since I blogged…so here I am… I’m gonna miss Kelsey so much… she showed up today with snacks and sweets for me, and a box of tissues in the library. She’s the best. I love her. Her family have invited me up to their house in Toronto for Easter Dinner next Sunday, and I love her mum and her wee sister so much – we’ve been up to their ski house in Collingwood a few times this winter, and Christine is just a wee dote. Kelsey and I are hatching plans to marry Justin and Christine off the day and hour that they turn 18!! haha!!

I can’t believe I leave Kingston so soon – this year has flown past, and to be honest, the last 2 years have gone by so fast! I only have 9 days left in Kingston, although I plan to get at least 5 more driving outings in before I leave, I need to make sure Diana will keep driving after  I leave!! We drove Minnie on Thursday night for the first time since December, and she was perfect. We’re driving again tomorrow, and will hopefully ground drive Mickey, who has been lame for a year with a fracture.

Once I leave Kingston, I’ll be shipping down to Boston for a few days, and will be kicking about there for a week and a day, until I fly home on April 23rd… Scary stuff!! Looking forward to getting home to my horses etc, and seeing my friends and family, but I’m sure it’s going to be a pretty big relocation and adjustment – I’m going from single, independant gal, with few committments, to living with my parents, juggling rules, a new job hopefully, and plenty of new horses and ponies! There’s so many things I’m going to miss about Canada… the horses, my friends, my profs, my university… but I think what I will miss most is how it smells on a sunny day… that smell just doesn’t happen in Ireland… I can’t describe it, but I just love it.

I'm working on my hands, but they're getting better!
