It is Monday, 9.8.08 and it is cool and breezy.
Woke up with Jeannine, she left for work and I got ready for class. By 9am I was on the way to school. Had breakfast and worked on some Japanese before heading to class. Today we worked on verb conjugation which is extremely difficult for me. The conversational things I can handle, but the verb and adjective differences are really something I haven’t even looked at before. After class I spent some time with Forsey talking about my thesis and by noon it was too late to speak with Savickey.
I left school and took the bus all the way down to my old place of work to visit my boss and a few friends. The bus took almost 50mins and I had to change 3 times. In total, I traveled about 30km. Compared to Japan, that’s fucking ridiculous and I want a god damn transit system that does not make me want to buy a car just so I don’t have to fucking deal with such a terribly unorganized and retarded system of buses that don’t even take me close to where I need to go. Fuck you Winnipeg Transit. Fuck you City of WInnipeg. Make things better.
At Consumers, I saw my old boss and some co-workers and friends Maggie and Tyler. Caught up with everyone and had some lunch with them all. I waited for Mags to finish work and we went to the UM to have a coffee. Stu, her boyfriend and my friend since highschool, finished up when she began class, so I left with Stu. We headed back to his place where we just hung out and then decided to make dinner. A vegetable stir-fry with this amazing lime-juice sauce we discovered on a vegetarian website. Went shopping and then made dinner, Maggie came home and then we ate it. I was worried about the dogs, so they drove me home soon after.
Home, I’m watching TV in bed and feel exhausted, but can’t sleep. Stupid Jeannine not being here. Tomorrow I have a shit-ton of things to do. Everything from thesis-work to reading to housework. Wish me luck.
Sounds like my dogs were home alone all day…stupid Jeannine.
