Bored while doing school work

Hi There

As I try to take a break from finishing a project I have decided to write a long overdue blog post. I'm trying to do my design notes for a spillway for a dam so that people downstream won't get washed away when the dam gets too full. My water resources prof decided to show us a bunch of videos on what happens when dams break just to show us how bad it is to make a mistake here. It made me glad that I won't be doing this for a living (well, hopefully).

Not sure where I left off on my last post. Have I mentioned that I am going to Scotland for the first three weeks in May? A friend from school and I have booked our plane tickets and hostel dorms already. I just need to go get some cash to take with me and then it's all good and also book some bus/train tickets hopefully if I can remember. We're going to Edinburgh, Uig (Isle of Skye) and Aberdeen and hopefully stopping a whole bunch of places in between and seeing some sweet castles. Or remnants of castles. Things feel kind of rushed right now because finals are next week then promptly after finals I have six days to move out of the apartment and pack and leave for three weeks. However will definitely be good to get out of town for a while and forget about stuff here and just have fun and relax.

Not sure what else is news-worthy. Charlton Heston died this weekend? Baby was born with two faces/heads in India. Protesters ruining the carrying of the olympic torch (haha my favourite news item).

So I've been thinking about work. Once I go back, that is it. No school in September and no temporary job - I will be a lifer. I'm not complaining about having to work - duh everyone needs to pay bills and stuff but it will probably feel weird to know that I am there on a more or less permanent basis (permanent as in longer than 8 months, certainly not forever). No more school means no more ridiculously long vacations at Christmas time and no more days of sleeping in because I feel like it (although I very rarely miss class this way). They're going to hold me accountable for my work and I will have a lot of responsibilities. I sound so adult now haha ohhhh if only they knew I'm not really that mature.

Janet has gone back to Germany after coming home for a month and a half so I will see her in August. Quite a few people I know from school are graduating and moving away, mostly to BC and elsewhere in Alberta and even some out east. As much as I hate school and have talked about my general hate for it on this blog and all past blogs, I am feeling a little...well...sentimental right now (not that I would cry or anything just disappointed-ish). I'm not sure, maybe I have some kind of mental disorder that is making me just a little bit sad right now. Surely I won't miss Engineering.
