Return to Sanity

Sunday, September 17th, 2006

Renovations are FINALLY done, after more than a solid week of *bang bang bang* *BUZZSAW*. I finally have my room back, and my desk all set up.

Though it cost me a few days of grumpiness and set me back from studying for a bit, it’s well worth it. The laminate flooring and tiling have brightened the house up. Getting rid of the dusty and gross carpet makes everything feel clean, and the air much more breatheable.

My family-members are a bunch of pack rats, and the cluttering that’s built up over the years gives me nausea everytime I come back to Edmonton.  So this whole renovation also gives all of us the reminder that yes we can throw away junk that we’ve accumulated 8 years ago.  Things are now bright and fresh and gooder.

At least now I can focus on the very thing that has been haunting me, calculus.  Seriously, all this renovation has really made it hard to hit the books for calculus.  Confronting math has been one of my greatest fears in school for the past 2 years.  I’m not terrible at it, but I’m just not proficient enough at it to express the concepts into mathematical language.  Of course, I’m also a prodigal procrastinator so that doesn’t really help my cause.

Anyways, I’ll get my backpacking story up soon, promise!
