Because I suck

Because I suck most of you probably haven't heard from me in forever and a day. I'd like to apologize for that. I've been having a pretty hectinc time at it for the past year and have been kind of out of it. I resolve to be less sucky in the future. Now let's stop focusing on my suckiness and instead focus on my greatness as I quickly recap my life for you...

First year of university was interesting. Up and down, left and right. Good and bad. I've ended up changing my major to a combined Business-English double-degree program, so go me!

After school let out I jumped plane for Hamilton for an AIESEC conference. Then when I came back I was working a lot at Payless. After some stupid drama and moronic policy changes on Payless's behalf I quit that job and went to work at Best Buy.

After I started at Best Buy I disappeared for a week to go to Mexico which was hot and fun and relaxing, though kind of boring near then end when I had nothing to do.

Then when I came back I worked at Best Buy until the end of July when I was offered a job as a teller at CIBC so I jumped ship again and went to work there (I'm still working there through the school year).

I also took a vacation from mid-August until September in Europe visiting Italy, Germany and Austria. It was fabulous and wonderful. I bought things. Many are chocolates. If I see you in the near future I will assault you with delicious German chocolate.

So now I've started school again. Strangely enough I'm only taking two business classes this year. And I'm taking 4 English (2 full-year classes). It'll be fun and I'm looking forward to another year though preferably without the sucking.

So there we are. I want to say good luck and I'm sure you'll all do amazingly (thanks so much for the phone message Jason!! Sorry I didn't catch you before you left!)

And again I'm sorry for completely disappearing like that for the year. I promise this time (and Natrix knows I'll be held to this) to call you all soon and we'll do something very soon. And for those of you in Edmonton I'll call you too, we definitely have to catch up, it's been so long and I miss our little grouplet.

Well, hopefully it's nice hearing from me again and it isn't met with the throwing of tomatoes and possibly drinks in my face.

Oh, and Oshi that sounds amazing. (it's Juliard isn't it?!) Keep me posted it sounds so exciting. You'll be like Julia Stiles!!

You don't suck, Kris. You just sometimes fail to mention when you're going to disappear and/or come back, leaving us wondering if maybe you are on vacation, or you've simply discovered time travel and disappeared to a different century. or something.

Glad to hear of all the funtastic things going for you - you should really come up and visit us U of A folks (and drag other people with you =D). It would be fun, and glorious, and a nice break from all the evil, evil reading some of us have to do (ie. me and maybe Rubin, I'm not sure. Nyx just has crazy projects).

There was some other point/thing I was going to mention, but I've completely forgotten what it is. Oh well. It's still nice to hear from you.

Yay! ;)

Ah my dear Kris:

You don't suck at all! Jeez! You're probably one of the closest friends that I have! I certainly the longest one I've had!

But it's so great to hear from you! Like Twill said, you just sometimes fail to mention when you're leaving/coming back and if you have discovered time travel, take me with you one of these days so that I can torture all those organic chemists who are currently making my life very frustrating...

But ya! It's uber-awesome that you're posting on the board and I look forward to reading more from you!

I'll be calling you when I come back down to Calgary!

MAIL CHOCOLATES.

It'll be the closest thing I get to real food.

Also, how dare you not suffer through 8 business courses like me! GRAAARRRGHHH. Et le boo.

I don't know how you can be in business with only 2 business classes, and you barely had any business classes last year. The commerce people here are ruthless and have mafia connections I swear. Have fun at the bank, and try not to be robbed. It doesn't really matter when you disappear for extended periods of time, because as long as Mulder and Scully are around to make you reappear, all will be right with the world. Down with rain, it makes all the beautiful nordic gods hide. But at least there are lumberjacks. Beautiful beautiful lumberjacks.

Aw Kris,

you don't suck... entirely. ^^'... But yeah, any time. Or, almost any time. Hm... I heard from Iris that you have a couple hours between your classes sometime in the week. When is that?

Anyways, yeah, haven't seen you in a while. And now we don't have classes together cuz I'm FINISHED with math! Muahahahaha
