friday

the first full week of classes
has come and gone

including:

one (unfair) parking ticket
a broken windshield wiper
from the giver of the (unfair) parking ticket
numerous downpours of rain
random slurs while driving in the downpour
without a working windshield wiper
several fire alarms
one very inconvenient fire alarm
so. many. tissues.
an incredibly red nose.
several naps.
too many wasted attempts at trying to read textbooks
one impossible-to-find classroom
one too many french slip-ups
one pathetic attempt at a film class*
an awesome accomplishment**
an order placed for a fantastic book***
and, finally.
friday.

* i am not a film major.
thus
when you say "screen the film"
im not sure what that means.
i can see other students vigorously taking notes.
so i mimic.
what have i written?

- wearing big shoes.
- dancing around
- no words...?
- some girl stole a baguette
- gaze...?

yes.
these are my actual notes.
and yes.
i dropped the class.


** i am on the board of directors at the women's centre
surrounded by amazing women
some peers, some profs and all friends
my cup runneth over.

*** courtney e martin
you have done something fierce
and i love it already.
cannot. wait. to. read. this book.




and a lovely tune to keep you
buzzing throughout the weekend:
