Saturday, September 17, 2005This past week was one of the busiest weeks of my life! Talk about hectic. Okay, so the Monday foods lab went smoothly, I love being a TA it’s fun teaching the first years. I also ran for a position on the FANS executive this week, after a lot of stress and giving a speech in a cramped room with 20+ people I am now 3rd year representative. I have also signed up for peer mentoring (headed by Mandy & Bria) which is basically a buddy system to help the first years feel welcome in the department and encourage them to come to our FANS events. My resume is looking better and better each year. Biochem lab on Thursday was long as hell, over 3 hours to be exact. Thankfully I have a really nice lab partner, which makes things much better then expected. This year is shaping up to be busy, this is what I have on my plate so far: - Working 1-2 shifts a week (8-16 hours/week). - Volunteering on Wednesdays at the Humane Soc. starting up again ASAP. - Fans 3rd year rep, includes weekly meetings and one monthly meeting. - Peer mentoring (assisting 1-2 students). - 5 classes, assessment lab and TA'n Foods 111 weekly + BioChem lab every 2 weeks. - Volunteering with the Healthy Eating Alliance. - Trying to think up an honours project? Any ideas? So. That’s that. I like the rush and excitement, makes the year go by quicker. In cat related news Elle is growing! I will post some new pictures when I get the chance. Simon woke me up this morning by throwing teddy bears off the shelves above my bed onto my head in hopes I would get up and feed him, smart kitty. So I think it’s time to get a coffee, my eyes are getting sleepy and work is really slow. FANS Pub Crawl this Friday (23rd) Come one come all, 15$ a shirt, 5 bars, drink specials and free pool!
