Tis' a calm night
It's always all inspiring to watch my younger cousin play the piano. To me it's a symbol of accomplishment, a strong resolve, and the feeling of chasing a goal. It's a great to just watch. But, it must be better to do it yourself and I know that in order to do so I must work hard. I must think less and act more.
Well, this sucks. As I now must inform you I was given one of the last choices in order to pick my time tables for next year. Every half hour it seems a wave of students are given priority over me to get a chance to pick their time tables and I did so well last year too! If you are not familiar with what I am talking about. UBC has standard time tables set up for students each year and people who have scored the highest grades get first dibs to pick their time tables. So eventually these tables sell out fast and are too full to be registered in. My first choice along with my 7 or 9 backups were all filled out. I can totally understand though because high school students have never attended a post secondary institution. What I'm saying is it totally sucks for me!

Random Thought
Don't you ever like thinking about the world and whether there is something you can do to make it a better place? Like if there was a day where everyone could do a good deed to someone in their life or an act of random kindness. How much better would this world be? But, things like that can never be so simple for us and I don't know why.
Why is it that in some cases we're able to come up with intelligent questions or answer equally brilliantly and yet we're so irrational when we get emotional. I always seem to like to wonder about the essence of human nature as it must be one of the most fascinating things in the world.
Not to mention that with better understanding of human nature which is sometimes irrational suddenly becomes so logical by your feelings. Anyways, that is the end of my thoughts and I must be getting to sleep now as it is late.
Good Night All,

Good Night All,
Behold my next post! Today, well... technically yesterday I was looking up the blog squad at UBC and was thinking of joining their team. At the same time I feel intimidated by the feelings of a several readers peering over my writing - which is in fact a lot of pressure. I tend to over think things in situations like that which hinders my writing a lot. I hope you're all enjoying my little blurbs. They're not much, but for now they're all I have to offer.

Max Fitness
I just got back from exercising. These days my body feels significantly healthier because every time I work I burn more and more calories. The feeling of nausea is beginning to fade away. My calorie burning has went as follows.
Session calories(j)
1..............300
2.............400
3.............500
4.............800
I hope to aim for 1000 next time. But, most likely I will be jogging so I will need a step counter to keep track of my burnt fuel. On other notes, I've been practicing my arithmetic consistently and it has been improving significantly faster each time with increasing number of digits. Although, my method of addition is a bit awkward. I may have to backtrack in the near future in order to calculate more efficiently rather than using the wrong way for the rest of my life.
I plan to keep up on my calculus review. Also, I am waiting for OSAP that is taking way too long... I am getting a bit nervous because the deadline nears. But, I will be in Guelph for awhile. It's putting me on the edge. When will OSAP send me notice?!

Today, I took up the opportunity to call a guy hiring window cleaners. For others I know it is not that big of a deal. But, if you knew me it was really hard for me to talk to other people and get over the nervousness because of my lack of people skills. But, this time I felt it was okay and that it helped a lot that I called even though I didn't get the job. Well, that's probably my last hope of a summer job. He told me to call back a week later in case one of the guys he chose didn't work out. Honestly though, how many people can't climb ladders and wipe windows? I won't keep my hopes up. But, I'll definitely call.
Slowly I am beginning to review my calculus. I hope that I can have mastery over it along with various other subjects before my study at UBC. Inside I cannot contain the feeling of excitement despite my outer appearance. I really want to start fresh but at the same time maintain the deeming qualities in which made my year at Ryerson successful. I will never forget Ryerson for what they have done for me. Despite what others say it is still a big loss in many ways in which not everybody would immediately understand. I was given a comfortable life there, my finances were garaunteed, and I had good professors and a lot of freedom. However, this time I have chosen to be on the more adventurous side and pursue that otherside of me. Who knows what will become of me next year. But, I would like to follow my insticts this time and experience all the world has to offer.
