As Time Goes By

Aww, Chels. I hope you're feeling better and less lonely, now that Dan's there (is he still there?). You're almost done! Btw, you + that poster = very professional, i must say. :)

Thanks! I'm not sure if I mentioned this to you folks (I know I told some people, just can't remember who), but I have a French final exam the same time as my screening for On the Bus (on the 17th). I went to administration and talked to the lady there, and she told me that if I had a really good reason to reschedule it, then I should contact the head of the department (so in this case, the Modern Languages department head). I sent him an e-mail because he was in a meeting and outlined everything and he replied saying, "There's nothing I can do at this point. Have you spoken to your professor?" That was pretty disappointing. I hadn't spoken to my French prof since I thought he would have more authority over these things than her.

But I went in on Monday this week to talk to her and I didn't get to outline everything -- only that I had a screening to go to for a short film I wrote -- because we were having this discussion out in the hallway rather than in the privacy of her office (she had just come out after finishing with another student and there were some other people around). Anyway, she told me pretty much the same thing -- "I can't help you. If I were to let you do it another time, I'd have to do that for everyone, blah, blah, blah..." I got so angry after.

Anyway, I'm going in to see a counselor on Monday and see if there is anything at all I can do about it. I just want to write it possibly a few hours earlier that day, and I can't go around telling people the questions because it's an off-timetable course so I don't even know who the hell is in my class. Arrrggh.

In some good news, I managed to get another music gig back at Trees Organic Coffee (on Granville street downtown, between Hastings and Pender) on Thursday September 10th. Oh, and the guy who hosted last time won't be hosting it (apparently he doesn't host on Thursdays). I'm going to finally finish my demo before the day so I can give some copies away after performing. I hope you guys can make it!

I know what you mean by us all having goals and doing different things with our lives. In some ways, I do feel like we're all growing up. It's kinda cool. :)

I'm so glad I'm almost done school. Only... one and a half more weeks to go before exams and then I'll be done! Yay. We should get together before school starts again (for some of you)! When is everyone free?
