It's been nearly two months since I posted last and for good reason--I've been terribly busy! Despite this fact, I have lost almost all of my motivation to do my uni work, which is not good. I tend to procrastinate more during our spring term. Uni's almost done and the weather is getting nice. This year has by far been the worst for lack of motivation though. There's is just too much life going on to be bothered by uni work.

Life that is going on that is getting in the way of my uni work:

  • I am going to Haiti tomorrow. Yes, Haiti. Tomorrow. Just for the weekend. I know, there have been some explitives coming out of my mouth quite frequently the last 10 days or so. I have a placement for the summer with a health clinic in Port-au-Prince, so I am going down this weekend to make sure that I really can commit myself to being there for the summer. My concern, as well as theirs, is that I won't be able to handle it emotionally. It is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and things like that break my heart. I want to make sure that I won't be needing to phone my mum everyday crying about how horrible the conditions are that people live in there. I'll try and post photos upon my return.
  • My birthday was on Friday. I planned my party, which was out of town, mostly by myself. Trying to coordinate the schedules of university students is a bit like herding cats. It was a good time though, once we actually got there.
  • Weddings. Lots of weddings. I have three to attend within about a 10 day span during the month of June, one of which I am in. There's a fourth in August, if I'm back from Haiti in time. I don't know about all of this bridesmaid stuff. It's a little confusing. I am hosting a brunch next weekend though. I am hoping I will pull it all off!

With all of that being said, I don't think that I actually failed my mid-term exam for my poltics class on Tuesday, which is a pleasant suprise!
