Knock on Wood

This relationship has been going on for quite some time. For eight months we’ve been conversing and, although it seems like quite a one-sided discussion, I feel as if our relationship has only gotten stronger. It doesn’t bother me that we sometimes lack that spark and spice we had early on in the relationship because they have been replaced with deeper feelings (not to mention better writing.) Now, I think we both know that there’s a reason I’m saying all of this. Don’t worry; I’m not breaking up with you or anything. It just bothers me that even though we still occasionally have a great time, most of our get-togethers suffer from a lack of variety and thought provoking experiences. So I have taken certain steps that I hope will ensure a great future for the both of us:

I am enrolled in Writing 1000(B if you care) at the University of Lethbridge. This should ensure that I won't have to right click words like “I” and “although”, to select “synonyms” and find a word to impress you, because this course will provide me the know-how to impress you using simple tricks.
ex. :D

I am joining the Theatre Arts Society (a club at the UofL), in which I hope to be the representative for the first-years (ever since Harry Potter, “first-years” has never sounded the same.) This will (hopefully) get my foot in the door to many new and exciting Drama (which is my major) experiences. I also hear from my good “Stella-Loving” friend Adam Beauchesne that I “will meet some great new people and have an awesome time!”¹

The third reason it won’t pain you to revisit is after two years of saying “Yeah, I don’t think I’ll be around here much longer” and not doing anything about it I’ve decided that Wal-Mart, and its constant monotony, must be left behind. I have experienced many interesting events at that place, many of which I have written about, but I think I’ve sucked the place dry of ideas and a new, higher paying, workplace is in order.

The fourth and final boost to the site could in essence be bottled into one with the first and second reason. School begins on September 6^th and with it begins my adult life (this sentence alone could have its own blog.) I’ll be meeting new people, starting a new routine and, most importantly, I’ll be forced into society, a place loaded with stories just waiting to be posted on the internet.

All in all I would say I’m very excited to start University, not just so I can meet people and not just so that my path to becoming a drama teacher will be furthered but also because people will stop saying “So, going to Uni this fall?” If by “uni” you mean “university” then, yes, I am… Now stop calling it “uni” you’re going into Post-Secondary for Beelzebub’s sake!

I wonder if University Hall is going to be one giant Mormon Hallway...


1. He didn’t actually say this, I just couldn’t think of anything original to say so I thought I would make it look like he said it in hopes of not contributing to the over use of the words “great”, “awesome" and “people” on this website. But, I guess after all this I’ve said it once more than I would have.
