neglect

i guess i've been neglecting this blog.

there isn't much to tell really. because the mundane is really mundane.

here's a rundown of my week.

i get up monday to wednesdays and go to class. as of late, i've been leaving class more often. i'm restless and bored. my notes are disorganized. it's all on loose leaf paper that gets tucked into my school bag. i'll organize them for review as exams come closer. but this term all the courses only require a 60% to pass so i'm really indifferent about school.

wednesday nights i ride into toronto and stay at my friend marc's apartment. i sleep on the couch. i dread the car ride to toronto because we leave after class and hit the road at about 4:30 so by the time we get to toronto we're sitting in traffic and it's dire. we might get to the outskirts of toronto in half an hour but we end up sitting in 1.5 to 2 hours of traffic trying to get to the other side of the city to drop natasha off. it's exhausting and incredibly annoying. the ride back thursday after my practicum day is about the same. just an annoyance all around and thomas, nat and i are all really quiet in the car back. we hate it with a passion. the first couple of weeks were ok, we talked but now, it's like why bother. it just sucks all round.

thursday, i work with clients in the community. it's a lot different working with adults and seniors than it is with kids in school but i am grateful for the experience because a lot of these people are losing their vision later in life, their at different stages of grief and acceptance and it's interesting to see how they cope and they're attitudes towards travelling indpendently.

my practicum superviser has been great. he's really relaxed and has confidence in me. i enjoy my time with him. he challenges me a lot and i love that. keeps me on my toes.

then there's fridays. booo. i have one 2 hour class in the morning and then that's my day. i've been tempted to skip that class because, well, it's a waste of a morning really. but i have been good. i show up and doodle.

saturdays i spend at home in front of my computer. i've taken to taking walks in the cold for an hour or two. or walking to downtown (1 hour) and taking the bus to the mall and wandering for a couple of hours and then riding home on the bus. going to the library has been good too.

sundays, i walk (40 mins.) or take a dial-a-bus (bus on request) to church. or a i skip church once in awhile and do personal devotional time. then the rest of the day is spent in bed or in front of the computer.

so that's me in brantford this year so far. only 30 more days of this. 4 more weeks of this and i'm home to vancouver in time for cherry blossoms.

yay.
