A Series of Unfortunate Events ....only me

1. I spent Wednesday eagerly reading my revelation text book to get my collateral done for Thursday. I spent three hours reading 75 pages, and reporting on it in detail and asking questions. I was actually proud of what I had done, I will now graduate having actually done a collateral 100% properly! WOOHOO.... So I showed my roommate, placed it on my desk which my laptop is the only other things taking up residency on it. I then went to sleep......night.....got up Went to chapel then came back ate lunch and at about 12:30 Tina wanted to come use my Revelation text and since I already had done my collateral it was not a problem... unless BAH I can't find it now... so I spent an hour searching for it I even had Sara and Rachel helping me... eventually I gave in and redid another collateral.... Tina came and got the book for like 20 min and we went on our way. She asked me as we got into her car if I had mine... I looked in my folder and low and behold there was collateral number one!!!!!!!! SO I let out my rage all the way down the hill.... Gavel was there early so I was able to tell him my funny story and handed in two collaterals. Told him he can now look at the difference between a well done one and a 20 min re-skim.

2. Get back to the room approximately 3:36pm think to myself I need to call the schools to which I applied to make sure everything is in and in place for Feb 1 via the deadline. So I called Tyndale the place to which I have been accepted for this coming fall and am planning on attending since it is close to my house where I can live with my sister in Toronto and save money to go to Asbury or Acadia.... dadada... So I call.... have an interesting conversation and in a round about way after the admission counsellor and I were confused he said... "Do you realized we are located in Texas, and we are a Calvinist Baptist theology and non denominational" this was stated in a round about way. WHAT THE HECK, HOLY STINK. ok so panic time I simply declined my acceptance and called my mom who was not home. I couldn't believe it I was applying to Asbury and Acadia for Jan 07 and going to Tyndale for the fall then transferring... Ok God what are you doing? SO I called Asbury to talk to my admissions guy and asked if this was the Asbury I wanted. Anyways I will get in this Fall, he said if I keep above a 3.0 I can get in as a transfer and then still go straight into my Masters of Arts in Counselling. Thank you Jesus.. went back to the Tyndale websites... there is not much deference and there is no mention of location on the Texas one... he also told me this happens a lot Ontario students getting them mixed up, you think he would have then clarified with me in October and not 6 days before all Masters applications are due across the world. So Yea WHO DOES THAT. Only me. Seriously...just like Boston NewYork

3. So then as I do each Thursday I go to Matt and Terra's and watch Smallville and hang out... so I had a mission statement due in Pastoral Counselling but to clarify it was not a statement it was a paper.... CRAP. so here I am in the middle of an open dorm... blah.. Leaving with a paper to do for 8 am tomorrow... so what did I do took my laptop with me and did three lines in three hours...

4. Yea so when I got back at 12.... I procrastinated with Missy and Rachel with a flute and violin and gold plated recorder thing (I made up that name I think they called it a tin flute)... lol and then got read for bed and put my glasses on... only to forget I hadn't taken my contacts out... HA so an hour goes by and I have a splitting head ache by now and thought I was just tired until I noticed my eyes were really dry..... yea Only me... I then went to bed....

So that is just the highlights of my day, there were many minor incidences that occurred that are not worth telling.... I have also had a signified episode day where a destroyed a fork and took the lid off a blender to have all the contents spray over the Woodard's kitchen.

Oh Woe is me.... LOL
