An Unoriginal Title
The dread that passes through one's mind when they walk out from some building to see the bus pulling away from their stop, is indescribable. It turns your stomach and twists it and thoughts of shouting frantically and waving your arms dramatically course through your mind. Such thoughts flooded my mind as I exited Sobey's this afternoon, but alas I found I could no wave my arms frantically as my hands were weighed down by heavy grocery bags. The thoughts of their contents flying in all directions outweighed those of attempting to halt the departing bus. So I resorted to catching the bus driver's gaze and telepathically communicate to him that the reason I was trekking across the Soby's parking lot to no particular car was because I did indeed need his assistance of transportation. Unfortunately my telepathic skills failed me and I thus had to wait thirty minutes at the deserted bus stop.
A once wonderfully warm autumn day had turned into a breezy, cool day and left my hair tossled and my fingers quite cool. The thought of snow not coming till January only dampened my thoughts further as I am extatic for the first snow. I've been told the falls are long here however and I believe it as only about half of the deciduous trees have lost their leaves while the others are still changing colour.
So what's been happening in my life here in St. John's? Quite a lot actually. Classes have ramped up and are in full swing with the semester already half way over. The assignments are finally coming and I find myself continually turning pages to finish 5 Russian novels for my Russian literature course with the final research paper looming in my mind with each chapter. Details on that exciting paper are sure to come...that is once I discover my topic that I'll write on and hope the prof enjoys enough to give me a satisfactory mark. Fortunately I do not have any midterms currently and am only expecting one to happen sometime between now and Christmas in my Russian language course. I have an odd doubt that it'll actually happen though. Memorizing my dictionary of 1500 words is coming along alright as long as I don't fall behind and find myself baffled and lost in a jumble of impossibly hard words to pronounce, let alone memorize the meaning of. It gets stressful at times.
As the majority of you have heard...yes there is a boyfriend. His name is Daniel and he is doing his masters of/in philosophy. Who knew I'd get to know a pre-philosopher so well?
Otherwise I find myself stressing out over the smallest things as people around me seem to be flooded with various exams and assignments to be done. Updates on that will also come as time progresses. I do hope all of you are living wonderful lives and will continue to do so until I am graced by your presence.
Cheers.
