Posting too much lately... I think NOT!

Anyways, I have recently completed two more exams, both of which went relatively well (and it feels good to type this). My boring life has recently taken a turn for the worst as I now really have nothing to do for the summer except to work for (place of employment inserted here) and sit around...

I am hoping to find another job in london or surrounding area soon enough! Anyways, back to the books I must go, and I am loving the fact that I currently have to pack up all my shit and move out soon :(

craziness will ensue on thursday...
details friday...

Almost studied out, yet so close...

Well, I have not written any other exams since my last blog (that will be going down tomorrow...yes, two exams (one at 9 am, one at 2pm....ugh)). Anyways, i took a breather this weekend and went home to hang out with friends at a country western dance, crappy as it sounds, it was a debaucherous evening! (but then again, when isn't it?!)

I also did a classic Crabby Joe's night last night (also entertaining) and I realized that as much as I hate the small town life, I do enjoy the small aspects about it...and by this I mean going anywhere and recognizing everyone... love to hate this aspect.

But back to the books I go, I haven't had time to surf the net/ read blogs as of late, which is good...studying is key right now...

What...first years almost over?!?

As my eyes fill with watery tears, I come to the realization that yes...my first year is almost over (and by almost I mean I have 6 days left :( )

At this moment, I am taking time to reflect on the wonders that conquered me here at Western:
1) Residence: I would not change the experience that I had hear at all... I am glad I lived it up at Med-Syd, I had a killer in res soph, and an amazing o.c. soph...I made so many in-res friends (both first years and sophs) that I will never forget
2) The deuce: my floor, floormates, and now best friends... what can I say except that I fuckin love you guys... I will cry when this is all done, you know I will, but still this floor has left a HUGE impression on me... It's been fun!
3) Everything/Everyone: Friends from council (MITSC), fellow MIT sophs, acquaintances made just wandering around campus being my overly loud, often obnoxious self... you guys helped make Western feel less like school, and more like a crazy in-bred community (j/k... I mean, this isn't Ridgetown...my last farm-college joke ever... promise...)

But those are my thank you's!

now, onto other business.. A confession to all my readers, yes, I went to see Kelly Clarkson on tuesday night (mildly drunk, and hyper with friends)...and I am not going to lie, she was AMAZING! I hate to say it, but it was real talent... a singer, writer... she did it all (actually, that is about all she did, but still, she did it magically)

That is my embarassing confession "blog-style"

Enlightening?...f'ing cameron diaz...

First off, sorry about those last two posts (what a fake out? they will be deleted today)...

Today I was sitting in my house watching Oprah, yes...Oprah and I am not afraid to admit that. Anyways, Cameron Diaz was on and she was discussing about how she had travelled to Africa and she noticed that everyone in the world wanted the same thing (happiness and life). She also was discussing how your body is your body and you have to love what you got (I know, skinny Cameron Diaz came up with this indepth thought on how much you should love your body (the bitch)) but it all makes sense (which is almost more angering that this enlightenment came from Cameron Diaz).

Anyways, after much thought I did realize that happiness and bodily acceptance were two things that I would love to have (in complete). Yes, I am happy and I like my body, but alas there are somethings I would like to change (lovehandles, etc...). After coming to that conclusion, I realized (shockingly) that I was the one who had to change this about myself, so I am calling this the summer of a new beginning.

I am going to buy roller blades next weekend, and I have already picked out the rationale for my diet (and it wasn't near as hard as I thought it would be). But I figured, I would share how Cameron Diaz has helped me to want to change my body...again: that bitch.

I have to read a total of three novels over the next week, along with about 100 class slides from Grant Campbell (even though I went to all lectures, sometimes you just need to review...aka...information that didn't stick)

Back to the reading I go, I cannot wait to get through this thing known as first year and enjoy my summer, as I now have a tremendously large appreciation for the summer months.

a mid-exam blog!

Rob+ Exams somehow equated to blogging. Yet here I am. Last night, someone asked me for a link to my blog and for some reason I acted shocked like "my blog!??!", not sure why, I think it just took me aback (they are probably now reading this thinking "what the fuck?")

Well, I have an exam tonight (film), and then I have two full weeks off to study for Eng and French! (and Mit 026) I know MIT 026 pretty well though, hence it's position on the "back burner"...

Doesn't anyone wish that blogger offered the thing where u put in, my mood and my music... maybe I will just start doing that!
Enough typing for now, back to the film 020 books!

[my mood= restless]
[my music=Alicia Keys 'Karma']

Rob: sunburnt and tired

There comes that time at the end of every winter when you realize you don't need your comforter on your bed... although I knew that this time was coming (as it does every year) I still find myself clinging to the warmth that my comforter offers...There is something about that more dense, warm, fluffy sheet that offers you good sleeps, a comfortable nap, or just a place to lie on and ponder... Once the weather is warm, as it is now, and you get sunburnt, as i am now, you begin to realize that maybe moving into summer clothing would make more sense (ugh...the thought alone makes me frown)...

But anyways, I am sunburnt and my face feels like it is on fire, but other than that I did have a job interview this morning at some sketchy telemarketing place. I smiled and tried to fake interest, but really...this job offers little or no stimulation to me. The lady was trying really hard to make the job seem interesting, but I think we both knew that this could not happen with a job such as a telemarketer...

Back to the studying I go,
--Rob

almost at my first exam...

Well, tuesday is my first exam and I have just sat down to study...

After a skim of blogs, a game of msn wheel of fortune (embarassing, but I will admit it), and turning myself into an emoticon (yes it can be done)... I realized that a computer plus myself is not a good study combination...

So I wrote about it :) My lifes a joke... I would also like to comment on how I have changed my music style turning to my childhood for inspiration... Could it be rob has been downloading ace of base, puff daddy (in his golden years), and even busted out Jagged Little Pill for a good laugh...

Oh how pop culture has tainted me.. and I am obsessed with the words "circa" and "alas...

ie... I wanted to study, but alas, I have not... ie... I am going to the bar circa 10 o'clock...

lets put these words back into circulation.

-over and done with

1/4

Well, I am officially done all of my first year classes (and man am I relieved...)

Yes, I still have exams, and I still have a ton of studying to do...but for the moment, kick back and relax and enjoy my three seconds of spare time...

Eng 024, Film 20, French, and 026 are the exams that are going to try and rape me, but this year I am wearing a super sized belt...so bring it!

--Rob
going out tonight as a last night before exams party :)

Woot Woot!

Well, I kicked ass on my last film essay with a calm, cool 90%! which means I am safely finishing the year in that course (not to say I was anywhere near failing (I think I was at like a 78%, it's just that this seals the deal!)

Anyways, I am pretty stoked about this weekend as friday night is going to be huge! Saturday-Monday is going to be non-stop studying as I have a midterm tuesday night...ugh...but it will mark the end in my first, first year course!

I am loving the weather right now, I am loving how everyone is getting into a good mood (minus exams) and I am jetting home tonight to do 6 hours worth of laundry!

Dear end of the school year,
Although I am a fan of you, I grow tiresome of your workload. Perhaps you might wish to quicken my month to accelerate me into a summer abyss of parties.

Thank you for your time,

Rob Stewart

P.S. could you also get me the marks I need for second year? ...I mean, if you have some spare time... :)

A one hour guessing game...

Names will be kept hidden...but I am willing to admit that I spent an hour on msn guessing someone's middle name...this might sound like a simple task, but it wasn't your average Matt, Mike, etc... it was much more difficult...

Anyways, I solved it, and I am glad that I was successfull! and I had a wonderful convo while guessing that really brightened my day...

Just to let everyone know, I do have a job interview for a telemarketing job (hahaha) I would have never thought I would be doing telemarketing, but it should be a good way to make money and keep my other job, I need a little extra cash flow as staying in london around all the fellow sophs this summer will mean partying ( a lot )...

Assignment and then bed for me!
And alex, I hope you are churning butter this summer at the Pioneer Village (I would die laughing... and would so come for a tour!)

--Rob

How was your day?

Well, after about a five hour blitz of class and homework this morning, the perfect punishment for those who went out the night before, I decided it was time for "me time". I usually don't try and sound selfish, but after doing all that work for others to read, I felt I needed just a few seconds to recoop.

A nap, a snack, a drive, and a episode of American Idol later I am sitting in my room realizing I have only a week left until my first exam (AGH!)...

But there are some words I wanted to "write" in closing the year:

I had the time of my life at UWO this year, I had no idea what I would be getting into when I submerged myself in western and residence culture and began my year in MTP. I never would have known I would be meet 35 wonderful floormates (guys...this year was amazing because the deuce was sooo tight), I never thought that I would sit on a council of 10 hilarious people, I had no idea I would meet people born in Egypt, who lived in the Bahamas, and lovers of the Big Apple; I love the fact that I have met a wonderful soph team (MIT2K5), I experienced the kick ass soph team (most of whom are close friends now), and would be surrounded by so many first years who all took the time to get to know the crazy kid in your classes/tutorial.

I fell in love with every faculty, residence, and building at Western, and although this sounds kind of like a sales add for it, it wouldn't be the same if I hadn't come here!

I loved first year, cannot wait to help those next year experience it, and can't believe a little marijuana got me into this big of a thank you!

--enjoy that -Rob

Finally...

Well, a lot has happened since my last blog, so I will do my best to fill any readers in...

First of all, you are reading about an MIT soph (ya, I am in MTP, but we have to represent within our faculty) and we had our first soph pub in which yours truly got a little drunk and still has some gaps in the night which will hopefully be able to be filled in at some point in time.

Anyways, I have finished all first year essays (thank god...) and am currently just getting ready for my first round of university final exams... My personal goal, sounds extreme, is to have an average on my exams of about 75% (maybe higher, depending on how much studying I do get done...lol)

But alas, although short I am going to start blogging more with hopefully more interesting stories as I have been reading random blogs lately and realized that mine is pretty clean cut in comparsion...

Lates--
