SlOwLy GoInG CrAzY, and other random thoughts...
ARGH! I am getting SO TIRED of doing schoolwork. It seems like no matter how much I do, I can never get caught up. Student Loan people are again driving me crazy, but seriously, they will not bother me as much as they did last year. I have a letter all ready to submit to the Bridgewater and Nova MLA & MP about what's going on, if necessary, etc... It's pretty bad when # 1- I spend almost as much time faxing, calling, and writing to the Nova Student Loan ppl and # 2- even though I work a very bad paying job, those student loan people think I am rich and barely give me anything, and THEN declare "over-reward" on top of that.
Okay, so I think Winter, sadly, is on its way. The mornings and evenings are super crisp all of a sudden, and Fall is definitely in the air. I don't mind Fall, except that means Winter is just around the corner, and I HATE WINTER!! I do not enjoy being cold, even in the slightest (unless it is on a very, very hot summer day...). I do not like the snow, I do NOT like how they do not PLOW roads in this city (By February there are some very deep ruts in the road from the snow and ice, it's like you are 4x4ing), I really do not like how my car, which works PERFECTLY the rest of the year (for the most part) decides to SHUT OFF while being driven, outa the blue, for no apparent reason, and turns right back on. The mechanics I've spoken to look at me like I'm nuts, so I cannot get this problem fixed. The only TWO good things about winter, in my opinon o' course, are: CHRISTMAS!!! :) WAHOO I LOVE CHRISTMAS!! and the chinooks here. Thanks to these chinooks, it does warmup here quite abit throughout the winter... :) Oh, and I do love a good snowstorm. But we don't get many of those here... not like Nova. Oh, and people are scary drivers here in the snow. My first winter here, on the radio it announced during the first snowfall of the season (2 CM), there was something like 113 non-injury accidents, 5 injury accidents, and 2 fatalities. Scary. But, they don't salt, plow, or use winter tires here...
So yeah, I gotta get some work done on my good ol' black beast b4 winter comes, and there is now a HEAVY SNOWFALL WARNING for Banff and Jasper- Up to 25 cm's.. YIKES...
I just got back from my last camping trip of the season, it was awesome. This time we went to a cabin we've been to quite a bit, and it's a good thing. The first night wasn't cold at all, but last nite was freezing and it rained all night and all day today. I can just imagine if we were all in tents. Yesterday we went looking for all these lakes that were on this recreation map we found, and it was so fun. I saw my first "real" lake since I moved here! :) We also saw 5 deer, goats, and coyotes, cows horses, and one tiny baby horse by the cabin. We had amazing bonfires, and ate lots n lots of good food. We were gonna do some more exploring today, but ended up leaving for home earlier than planned cuz of the rain. We then discovered my wonderful driving machine wouldn't start (spark plugs... good thing I'm prepared- I have 2 extension cords and a hair-dryer in the trunk now for times like that... works wonders when u blow-dry the spark plugs.. starts up right away :) And ppl thot I was nuts the first time I tried that... really need new ones now I guess) ( and a new wiper... Funny how the one on the passenger side wipes wonderfully, and the one on the driver's side just smears the water around... a new car would be nice... :) ).
Hmm.. what else... I'm excited for seeing my BIG LIL Bro play B-ball in January; I'm excited for my lil niece or nephew to be born in April, and I am excited for my sister's wedding in October :) So many good times to come :)
Anyway looks like quite the novel so I should go....

haha your funny...i love your lil rants. i HEAR YA with student loans man. i got to the point now where if they call, i just CLICK!
they sent mine to a collections agency cuz i missed some payents. so the i made DOUBLE what i owed and then the agency wanted proof that i paid. so i had to fax my receipt, what the asked me to do, but b/c it didnt say EXACTLY what loan number the ammount wnt to, they don't believe me. so, after a few more faxes of dang receipts, they STILL dont believe i paid.
i make bob deal with it now...and it makes me scared to pay my loans cuz WHERE THE HECK IS THE $$$$ REALLY GOING TO. i feel like cussing at them!
Holy Kristal I SO HEAR you!! Last year, I had to send my initial application like 6 times, then my transcripts a few times, THEN they said I had to get a loan from NB not Nova of ALL THINGS, then hmm.. oh yeah, cuz of the way Briercrest is Modulars, they thot I was not a fulltime student, then they kept not getting the fax from the registrar, then I FINALLY got money in DECEMBER and the first week o' Jan they declared overreward. I spent a carzy amount of money faxing them from Staples so I could have receipts that I DID fax stuff to them, so now, every time I re-fax them something I fax the proof of the previous fax. O, and to add to all that, even though I faxed my proof of enrollment like 10 times, AND they knew I was in the process of applying for a loan, they TOOK Monthly payments fr my bank account THREE months in a row, til I had my bank block them... GRR!!!!!!!!!!
