5 days to my birthday!

what a great day i've had!! i spoke to 4 new ppl - 3 gals and 1 guy - and talked to them as bravely and confidently than never before.. unbelievable..

the first person was this gal called Fiona who was sitting next to me in the Link doing her FREN 131 homework.. i said "Are ya doing French 131?" and yeah she said yeah.. talked about French and France.. then she told me that she was majoring in Anthropology and she was first year, boarding in Burnside.. that was p brief though coz i kinda waited towards the end when she was abt to leave for a class...

the others well were in my GENE 212 lab.. there was Tamara who i recognised from Psych and met before in classes.. then had to work with this gal and guy from other table in the lab to do some computer work for today.. never met them b4 coz in a lab there isn't really time to get to know ppl beyond ur table.. and it is p big for GENE 212 coz there are only 2 streams on Friday and Monday.. that and the fact we don't do enough interesting stuff like splicing DNA and all that, are my two gaffs against GENE 212.. btw my test is tomorrow at 7 pm..

anyway, could tell this blond gal was American coz of her accent.. during BLAST search on Internet - which is a process that takes 5 minutes if u're lucky ur sequence is similar to any known in the world's Genomic database - took chance and talked with these two guys.. there was Ken from Hayward and the American gal's name was Lauren was it? or Laura.. she's from South Dakota and she's only in Dunners for this semester, on exchange from this uni in Minnesota.. anyway talked abt that and the genetics test.. she was p friendly.. yeah that was p good eh..

i feel the time has come where i've got to take chances and break out of myself and talk to different types of ppl.. not be afraid.. this yr, i've done that and talked to random ppl and have reaped the dividends.. i feel much more confident and sure of myself about saying the right things and when not to say anything.. a skill i prob dint have 3 years ago.. but u know 19.. i guess if i don't talk to more gals, i'll remain a bachelor.. or rather i'd be raising the chances of that happening.. that's why i'm glad i'm doing this.. of coz got to be careful.. but felt today like the wicket was good and had a lot of runs in it and i could get a century on it.. and i did.. and that's why i like Pastor Andrew's sport analogies.. also met up with Claire and yeah talked a little bit to Hanna.. ah the moment.. i'm going to ask her out again on Weds.. i don't care if she says no.. but i don't think so coz i did ask her and she couldn't only bcoz of Stats assignments..

anyway, i'm glad when Tuesday is over.. then the hols can start.. well not quite.. got to start Stats project.. but i mean once this Genetics test - worth 15% - is out of the way, yes! i've been reading my Genetics notes over and over again and i'm kinda getting a bit sick of it.. but need those 15 points and u have to write the answers this time.. and there's this lecturer whose questions requires quite a bit of detail.. almost like mini-essay.. but with the Lord's strength i'll be sweet!!
