New Month

So it is November! Finally! School has been tres hectic as always, my research adviser dumped an ethics proposal on my lap this week, and wanted it within two days. Meaning Shannon and I (my research partner) had to pound out a 16 page ethics proposal within 2 days, right in the middle of a plethora of tests and presentations.

This academic year is much different from ones past. Firstly, everything is done in groups which makes for very frustrating/unproductive working sessions. People continue to tell us "You'll have to work in groups in the real world so get use to it". Although I find flaws in this logic because I think if I was in a working environment in which I didn't enjoy my co-workers, I have the ability to quit and find a new job. Unfortunately, assigned group work in university does not afford such a luxury. I am stuck with these people and thankfully in a few weeks it is all over. Until next term!

At least next term I have a few online classes, which there cannot be any group work. I look forward to hunkering down in my room and doing my work, all by my lonesome.

Outside of school things are pretty dull. Everyone is busy so it doesn't allow for much social time. However last night we decided to have some themed movie nights within the near future. Such as "Mel Brooks Night" "Bond Night" "Police Academy Night" and a few others that are still in the works. It'll be nice to watch some of those movie and devote a few nights to good friends.

34 days until I get back to Newfoundland and I am pretty jacked about that.
