hey everybody
well its been awhile since i posted on here, since september started, i have finished most of my fall 2009 school semester (midterms are done!!) and started into my floor hockey season (www.alliancefloorhockey.com)
School has gone well, with some good courses, 2 Opma courses (inventory management and spreadsheets for business use), a Canadian studies class on humour, a sociology of sport class and two half classes of mgst (working with people and corp governance and compensation <- yuck). had 5 midterms last week, one for each class, it was a tough week but just like any other midterm/final week, its nice to be done. although its not as if I can just relax now, as there is still a month left with assignments, a paper and finals coming up. Although it is reading week right now (3 days off!), so I do have some time to do other things, which I am doing.
oh and hockey is going well, kinda. Our team hasn't had a great start, at 5-13 now, but we are still in a playoff spot I think, and its been fun playing. I have gotten a bit better so far, but it is hard when half the team doesn't show up for most games. Our team actually has 2 goalies, but neither showed up last night, so I got to play goalie, it was, interesting. Actually it was fun and challenging, and with the help of my teammates, I was better at it by the end of the second game, too bad that was against the better team. we lost the first game of the back to back 13-11 and the second by something like 17-8. So I had fun, even though I let so many goals in. It didn't help our team only had 1 sub, yet again. but its about having fun right? when our team shows up, we usually win, but our record shows how often that happens...
My sister and her husband get to move into their house this week, so they are up here getting things finished up for that, my dad will lose most of the furniture upstairs as they left it here til they get the new house. I need to buy a new tv or home theatre system, which will be upstairs, so my dad will use it. As I am a student, my dad will buy it and I will buy it from him next year when I move out/have money/the situation changes. So I get to shop for a TV etc, but its tough to get in the mindset of spending heaps of money, when I am trying to limit what I spend to a minimum. I need to have the perspective of what I will be willing to spend in a year, once I have a solid job and will be actually using the stuff, which is tough to do (and probably dangerous!). I am spending my money from 12 months from now, which is weird, actually it's kind of like having a credit card that doesn't earn interest until next fall. hmmm
Lately I have been listening to lots of music...wait, thats always the case haha. Ok but lately I have been listening to "the 401" and "thousand foot Krutch". I went to a concert at my church a few weeks ago and it was "the 401" which is a band I had never heard of. Good music, I bought their CD, which is called songs of Solomon, basically the love book of the bible. After listening to the cd several times and the lyrics, I understand why they named it that, but It is good anyways! Also a few months ago I downloaded (on Itunes) "Set it off" which is the first CD from Thousand Foot Krutch. I already had their last 3 but bought this one, and have enjoyed it. *Actually they have a new album out that I want to get, called "the Masquarade" not sure how to spell that haha. other music I want to get includes some Jesus Culture music, they are a good band that a friend of mine told me about. I've listened to some of their songs on youtube. Justin also shared the band "Sparta" with me, which I liked their cd.
I also would like to get the new NewWorldSon cd, the new Franz Ferdinand cd and the new Switchfoot cd (they finally came out with a new one), Hello Hurricane, which is apparently better then their last 2 cds.
ok, to finish, some one liners
