Bemused

I can't believe that it is almost that time again....my classes start next Monday. The next three weeks are going to be tiring.

This week I have to finish up editing the video podcasts and get them posted to the website. I have to begin/finish writing up the minutes from the Annual General Meeting. Trying to discern decisions from a meeting where all the delegates are yelling over one another for two and a half hours just SCREAMS fun, don't you think? And as if transcribing the minutes weren't enough I've also got to find time to begin laying out the profiles from our sponsors for the Corporate Directory. Fun times.

And the good times just keep coming. Next week I have my first class on Monday night (7pm - 10pm) and I have to wrap up whatever I didn't get done this week plus do all the updates in our database. Then when Friday rolls around I'll definitely be taking a nap after work before heading out for Ms G.'s birthday at Absolute. Saturday I'll be getting another early start as I have to drive down to TO for my nephew's birthday party which is at 3pm. Saturday will be a mix of making nice with the in-laws, screaming children running around covered in cake, my nephew opening presents but being most entertained my the paper and me wishing that I had bought stock in Tylenol because head will be splitting.

Come Sunday I may be comatose out of exhaustion and sugar overload. But I will still need to figure out when I'm driving back to Ottawa, thankfully Monday is a holiday (thank you Labour Day) so I've got time to figure that out.

The week after that: not nearly as bad. Classes Monday and Tuesday nights. I have no idea at this point what the work week has in store for me but on the weekend I've got to play nice with the boys. (Get your mind out of the gutter!) Three guys that I went to high school with are trekking it up to Ottawa to go see some wrestling thing at Scotia Bank Place, as for the reasoning behind it I haven't the foggiest. Anyway, we're going to go back to the aerial park for some trapeze-like adventures and some zip lining. After that I think the plan is to camp in Quebec somewhere but the prospect of being out at some desolate camp site with those three guys does not sound very appealing. Oh well, I'll cross that hurdle when I come to it. I just hope that it doesn't rain otherwise I'm the lucky girl who gets to end up with three houseguests who are as graceful as rhinos. The things we do for people...geez!
