I have power again! BUT it's still wayyy too cold in my apartment. I had 2 pairs of socks, longjohns, long sleeved shirt and a hoodie on. My space heater was right beside my bed on full blast and I was still fracking cold. The air coming out of it was really hot but it just wasn't enough to heat my room. I'm spending another day scouring craigslist. My move date moved from Feb 1st to Jan 15th. Just a few more weeks of living out of a backpack, unless I can't find anything:(.

Someone let me live in their house:(.

ugh, stupid.

I got my history mark. UGHHHH. A fucking C-. It's all my stupid fault too. I procrastinated all semester with my paper and failed deservedly. It's hard to come back from that when it was worth a third of my mark. Luckily I got a B on my midterm so I wasn't in real danger of failing the course unless I completely BOMBED my exam. It looks like I did just okay. I hope I got an A in anthro to balance it out. My guess is I got a B. Only time will tell!

So guess what. My stupid power is out again! I replied to a bunch of roommate wanted ads I found on craigslist today. A couple of promising looking ones. I want out Feb 1st. I want to put my notice in with my January rent, which I really don't think I should have to pay! But I'm do afraid of confrontation to mention. OH YEAH DID I MENTION WE DON'T HAVE A BUILDING MANAGER AGAIN? WHAAAAT THE FUUUUCK? I've pretty much been living at Tyler's/Justine's but it's so annoying not to just sleep in my own bed. Living out of a backpack sucks when you have to pack multiple work outfits for multiple jobs. Grrr.

AND TO TOP IT OFF IT'S COLD!

Phoney Balogne Lorraine Mansbridge is doing a photoshoot in the museum today. She is one high maintenance, snooty biatch. I wish it wasn't happening so close to my desk because I want to stab myself everytime I hear her talk to someone.
Avenue Magazine can suck my balls. It is such a pile of shit.


I've been here tons this month, which is AWESOME. I'm getting to a point where I can pay my rent on time without borrowing money from my parents. IT'S GREAT. I have a job review coming up. I'm probabkly not going to do too great because there was a period of a few months where I was late all of the time and hated being here and it showed. I like my job more and more though. It's not the most exciting thing but I actually get things to do during the day besides help customers. It means less homework time but I actually feel useful.

We have a cool exhibit on exotic shoes over the centuries called "heights of fashion". Besides being an exhibit on high heels, it is pretty interesting.

Yesterday was my last derby practice until January. Wednesday was my last day of classes. But do you think my schedule slows down? Not a chance. Im trying to go to Jasper for a couple of days when I'm done exams, plus I am still working tons tons tons. Even more so actually, and I have to study for exams. YIKES.

I've been all by myself all day at the museum. This is pretty boring but less annoying then a couple of the alternatives. The tech dude came by to give me a 'TECHNICALLY THE POLICY IS NO GOING ON FACEBOOK OR DOING YOUR HOMEWORK". Fortunately, people with actually authority over me don't give a shit. I don't like doing homework here though because people always ask me questions about what I'm doing and one time that combined with some dudes son choose the pink "girls toy" over the red "boys toy" caused a heated nature vs. nurture and origin of gender stereotypes argument. Also, people think being a first year history student and working in a museum (in a position that rarely allows me to see the insides of the exhibits) makes me an expert on everything ever. Which is pretty annoying in itself.

I had no power allll weekend. Well I had some, an outlet in my kitchen still worked. Anyways.. it went out Thursday and it was only a blown fuse. Why did I not get it back until Monday evening? Because my building is between site managers so there was this bug kerfuffle because the new guy didn't have all the keys yet blah blah blah. But now it's back! YAY! No more showering by candlelight.

pffffffffffffft.

Alright, so I've eaten and retyped my paper and finished it up and printed it and everything and I'm feeling pretty great about having it out of the way. Now I can catch up on everything else I'm behind on in school. WHOOP.

I had a game yesterday! We finally played our house teams against each other. It was amazing! Both teams played extremely well but sadly mine (Los Pistolitas) lost. I'm very happy with how I played though, especially compared to how I felt about my performance in Victoria. There was one jam in particular that I will think about often when I am feeling glum to cheer myself up. I just know we going to beat their asses when we have a rematch in January. This game also signals the end of a very busy year of roller derby. Just 2 weeks left of practices then a break until after the new year. A much needed break! I need some serious time to myself. Between work, school, work, derby, work, boyfriend, work I barely have time for my friends and family. I need to go to Jasper after finals. I need to spend a few days at my parents place. I need to clean my apartment. I need to ACE my finals.

On Friday I made my first radio appearance on CJSR! SO MUCH FUN. A few of us went on to promote our game.I was soooo nervous though. My hands were sweaty and pale and the first section of it I know I sounded nervous. But I loosened up on the break, enough to recite a couple of haikus at least!! Hahaha. I even made a derby one up on the spot. Fun fun fun!!
