All Things Good - An Update

It's hard to believe it has been two weeks since I have updated my blog. I have been incredibly busy (as per usual). After April I will slooooow down and stop spreading myself so thin. The past two weeks I have just been working my gazillion jobs (okay, it's more like two but it feels like a gazillon) and going to school.

1. My Freebies!

2. Edible Stuff

 *One of my favorite de-stressors - eating frozen yogurt

* Chapman's Frozen Cappuccino yogurt

*Raw oysters!

*Sweet cakes and desserts from Vancouver

3. Study Material

 * Self made binder label for my course "Practice with Individuals"; my stick person is wearing a cape

 * Self made binder label for my course "Practice with Families"; my nuclear family

 * I am taking five courses this semester. Thank goodness I only need four textbooks! The total for the four texts was $478.22! All the books were bought new from the University of Calgary Bookstore...there was no used texts. =(

- Choices (4th Ed. Canadian), Shebib, $104.95

- Working With Families (5th Ed. ), Kilpatrick, $101.90

- Introduction To Group Work Practice (6th Ed.), Toseland, $130.75

- Social Worker As Manager (6th Ed.), Weinbach, $117.85

* My notes for "Practice with Families"

4. Goodies and Gifts

 * Key chain from Jen. A

 * Tickets to see Brian Eno: An Illustrated Talk (went with Dad and Karen). I was disappointed with talk because he did not bring sample music to play to us, and the few illustrations he showed were mediocre and generic. I felt the talk was a bit scattered because he didn't have a central topic to discuss. He talked about the history, revolution, function, and appreciation of art and music composition, but he also went down "rabbit trails" during his performance with stories. Nevertheless, I enjoyed watching Eno, he is inspirational, as well as a witty and engaging presenter.

 * Chapstick basket

* Books- The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pick-up Artists by Neil Strauss and 101 Dogs by Rachael Hale.

* PUA (Pick-up Artists) I have a lot to say about this population...I'll save it for next time

 * Gap dress pants!

5. CPR and First Aid

* I'm certified!
