New Year Update (late)

30 01 2008

I’ve been meaning to update this blog for awhile but I have been too lazy. But since I arrived at school early today, I might as well give this blog a shot of update.

It’s been awhile since the new year, but I noticed i havent posted an entry for this year, so here it goes:

I bought an Asus EEEpc this past christmas as a Christmas present to myself (currently using it as I’m typing this post). It cost me $350 with tax, but I had to spend about $40 more dollars to get a 4 Gig SD card for more storage capacity and a second hand DVD drive (to install XP and Microsoft Office). It came with Linux Xandros as the default operating system but openoffice and abiword (word processors) pissed me off.

So its a new year, a new school semester and new resolutions. I’m only taking 4 courses again this semester: Psyc 304 (Brain and Behavior pt 2), Geog 122 (global modernity pt 2), eng 223 (american literature) and Geog 312 (global climate). My schedule kinda blows because i have to start early on tuesdays and thursdays, but I guess I’m glad that I end early.

I’m one who usually makes a new years resolution, but breaks them in a week or two. So for this year, I want to keep it easy (I hope!). I plan on concentrating more this semester after getting terrible marks last semester (53, 53 and 67). I’ve asked for fewer shifts with work, so I hope I can bring my average back up.

In a different subject, my physiotherapy doctor finally gave me the clearance to play sports. I have been getting some treatments on my knee for the past two weeks. My left knee has been acting up for the past few months so I have been getting fat with little exercise. I was diagnosed with a strained knee, but nothing serious. The doctor hasnt been able to pin-point as to what is wrong with my knee, but he said I just have to build up strength and stability on it. 

Anyway, I’ll end my post here. Its currently 10AM and  I should be in my discussion/tutorial right now, I’m late for class.
