Olympics

uhh, not sure if it is just me, but it seems that Americans don't really care much about the olympics. True?

I like how Canadians are patriotic!


GO CANADA!!!!!

Reading Week 2010

eeeeks, this reading week is gonna be quite suckie cuz I got lots to do. So much school work that it is demotivating me to do them. Someone give me some inspiration.

I have been quite tired lately. Not sure if it is because I don't have enough sleep or if I am going through a coffee withdrawal. I usually get some sort of coffee every morning at school, but ever since I left St. Catharines for reading week, I haven't drank anything with caffeine in it. uhh.... zZZzzzZZzz I am yawning as I type this and it is only 7:21pm.

I can't wait to hang out with friends from Thursday to Sunday.

I need to focus.


There is no point to this post.

Mercy??

So I got really ANGRY today because students were being so DISRESPECTFUL. Angry, so so angry!!!!!!!!!!!!

Long story short, students were supposed to get their theses approved. They showed up 15 minutes before my office hours ended and expected me to sign their paper. They told me that they were busy with midterms so didn't have time to see me. THEY had OVER A MONTH NOTICE about this and they still decided to put it till the last minute.

I told them that they should have came to see me weeks earlier. They said, "well, busy with midterms, couldn't do it". We as TAs are also busy people and we can't accommodate every student!!! and it isn't FAIR to me, students or everyone else.

I stayed in the office to discuss some school work with my classmate after my office hours ended. At 2:25pm, this girl from my tutorial wanted me to approve her theses. Now at this point, I told her that my office hours are done! My TA friend even told her that we couldn't see her and that she will lose 5%.

Now, here I am thinking, what is the right thing to do? Tell her, that I can't approve her thesis or just accept her thesis? As a Christian, how much mercy should I give? If I accept her thesis, she won't learn from her mistake and won't understand the importance of getting things done early. However, if I don't accept her thesis, she's gonna lose 5%.

ahhhh.


How much mercy should I give?! should you always be merciful....even in ridiculous circumstances?!

God is a merciful so I should be too, but ........

Second Chances

wow. so my mistake. I think the Lord is making me learn from my mistakes because I have to substitute for a TA friend tomorrow. There will be 234902384 students coming to see me tomorrow about a really confusing topic.

I thank God for second chances. I pray that I won't screw up tomorrow. I have been going on a mistake streak lately..... uhh, this is NOT good.


Prayers needed.

TA-ship

Being a TA is really fun but at the same time, stressful and nerve-wrecking.

When you say the wrong thing that is different from the other TAs, you get blamed by students because you said the wrong thing.

I am scared because I said the wrong information to a student who isn't from my seminar/tutorial and my TA friend is not too happy about it cuz I made a mistake.


oh man, I made a really big mistake and I don't know how I am going to resolve it.


Please pray for me.

Happy Valentine's Day

So I've noticed on facebook that some people call this 'single awareness day' or S.A.D. What's so "sad" about it? I understand where people coming from, but... what I don't understand is why people think Valentine's day mean only spending the day with your lover. Just because you are single, doesn't mean people around you don't love you. I am sure friends and family have given you cookies, candies, cards or have even done nice things to you that made you feel loved.

Even though I am single, I absolutely LOVE this day. This is the day when I get to reflect on God's love for me. I know I should be doing this daily...or constantly, but this is one extra special day that I can feel extra loved by my God. All the blessings that he had bestowed upon me and His Cross for me because I am such a bad bad person, man, noone's love will EVER be greater than His. So who cares if you are single or not single, and who cares if the world hates you, God's love for you is UNCONDITIONAL and UNFAILING. So stop with this "I hate this day because I have no one to spend it with"

Something special always happen on Valentine's day. Two years ago, it was a snow day at mac so I got the spend time with my roomie. I don't remember what happened last year, but it was something good. Now this year, it is on the same day as Chinese New Year! Lots of food, lots of parties, and lots of loveeeeee from friends and family.


I LOVE Valentine's day! <3


Peace out.
