It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time!

Just thought it was a funny title. Well, it makes me laugh...

I had originally started this blog on Monday, then saw something shiny and got distracted. Well, it more or less happened like that. Without further ado...

Bit of a sports busy weekend. I attended the Oilers home game vs. the Chicago Blackhawks. The Oilers should have pounded them but alas, it was a 4-3 loss for the boys in blue. It was still an entertaining game, just would have been much sweeter to see a win. Then I got to watch the CFL Western Final on a 60+ inch big screen tv. It was a good, intense, and tight game. It was all tied up in the fourth quarter and it was the team that makes the first mistake that would lose. Thankfully, Dickenson throws an interception and the Eskies turn it into the winning touchdown. The last minute was still nerve-wracking because B.C. had the ball and could have won on a miracle touchdown. The Eskies coaches had to make some tough, somewhat questionable decisions with the football. Good thing they pulled it out because if B.C. somehow pulled it out, I cannot even think of what the backlash could be.

By the way, it must be near exams or something because the blogs have come back alive a bit. Sigh, in the meantime I've got some group projects to work on. I'm just trying to make it to Christmas. Than to summer. Than next Christmas, than graduation! Yay!

And speaking of Christmas, it is nearly December and hasn't snowed. I wish I can find this kind of toque somewhere for the winter. Looks spiffy to me =D. But to keep going, its not very cold at all! What up with the lack of white stuff on the ground? Remember when we had the Grey Cup in 2002? Or the Heritage Classic in 2003? Those were both late November games and it was FREEZING temperatures!! Now? The only sign of November is the fact that it gets dark really quickly.

In a completely different direction, I would like to try to do some kind of self reflection. I think its fairly evident I hardly practice that on here. Time to time while I'm sitting on the bus or whatever I think about what I've gone through or my opinion on certain topics and how I could blog about it. Oh, then I don't. Even right now I'm having lots of trouble deciding what I want to type. I think I need some help out here on this one...

Actually, does anyone have a topic I can try to think about for myself? Or ideas to just get started. When I first started having a blog, it was just fun to have my own little space on the net. At the time I was also looking at other people's blogs and saw what kind of thoughts would come out. I thought eventually that I could have similar types of things happen, that my writing could improve, that I could "grow". Oh you know... all the good stuff that comes with having a journal. Well, I don't think that has happened. So I'll try to get some kind of opinion piece at the least coming out.

"I walk alone... ", "no its I walk the road!"


The title comes from a small disagreement between my mom and my dad over a lyric in Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams." In any case, my mom was right (like always? I really don't want to admit it). Yeah, and this came up because my mom's new favourite song is that Green Day single. Suddenly she has become a Green Day fan and wants to pick up their DVD "Bullet in a Bible." Thanks to my so deservedly won Best Buy coupon from McDonalds, we'll be doing that.

So my placement just ended. Really, I don't know where to start. It wasn't great, but it wasn't horrible. It was pretty good and it close to what I kind of expected. However, at times I felt that what I was doing could have been done by anybody. In regards to Ryan's blog, I feel that I enjoy the fact that my profession has a broad range of opportunities. I can enter mental health, work with kids, look at job safety and so on. However, this is also a weakness because I find there is some lack of direction for the profession of Occupational Therapy. Generally there are some things associated with OT, like splinting, but I still find it hard to come up with a simple explanation for what we really do. Um... we try to keep you functional!

I'm just continuing this draft that I started on Monday. I was thinking that I would try to blog weekly and have Monday entries. Well, I'll shoot for Monday or Tuesday as I missed it yesterday.

However, I have to cut this one short because I need to head to bed. There is potential that I might be up again at 2-3 am. To be clarified later...
