And the troubles begin...again.
Jan. 8th, 2005 12:30 amTuesday - I spent the day back at SWC. Teachers wouldn't let me into their classes though, except for Mr. Birnie, who was helping his art class set up for the art show, so he had me help out a bit with putting up posters.
The Antonuk has added a new weapon to the arsenal of keys around her neck: a USB flash drive key.
Mr. Baldwin, the singing assistant principal, was more than eager to hear about my engineering/drinking woes. At the mention of Engg Week, he groaned. He knew what it was all about, and he knew that no matter how much the activities have been toned down on the out-/official side, the rest of the traditions still remain - the 'excess of testosterone' part. The system can change quickly to accomodate gender-equality...but the culture takes far longer.
Bought for Monika what will probably be the last bottle of vodka coming from me - she's underage but I'm too nice to people like her, don't know why, she's so different from me. They've installed security cameras at school, but I'm not that worried about them finding out what I'm doing - I'm not that sloppy :P
Today - Got back up to Ed' at noon, had lunch with dad. Strange how, the moment my dad drives away I'm suddenly all depressed again. It's the thought of being alone again, I guess.
Was stupid and put a $20 bill in the change machine; got 80 quarters. Does anyone need any change?
Enjoyed some crispy fish and chips at PP; the Chardonnay was slightly sweet, just the way I like it. I did need to remind myself why I like white wine. Paid with a neatly geometric stack of a $5 bill, 1 toonie, and 27 quarters.
Visited Chinese Dave after. He offered to give me wake up calls at 6am every morning if I switched back into the 8am chem class, so I did. I'm sure he can do it, and so can I, since I know he'll remember to call me.
