listening: country song, seether
It's been a busy month. Alanna had her (beautiful) baby, the very same one that kept me up 'til one thirty last night. And yet it's hard to be grumpy about being tired, which is odd because yesterday I was just that. Yesterday I also helped Matt leave, and now I've been struck with a bout of uncertainty. We have four leaders for our small group, Matt, Tyler, Jason, and Dave. Matt and Tyler are both moving to the Greater Edmonton Area in mid May. Jason has already moved back to Saskatchewan. And Dave is going to med school in the fall, which will leave him with precious little time to be a leader anymore.
It's also a bit unfortunate for Adam, being that both youth interns are leaving now, Matt and Owen.
So there's a bit of uneasiness for next year.
And then we come to a more lighter note. After being inspired by a Top Gear episode, we (I) decided it would be a good idea to mimic the Car Sauna challenge. We parked Dan's car in the sun, turned the heater on full, and the loser would have to buy drinks for the victors. 30 minutes and 64 degrees later, Colin bailed out, and brought drinks from his house.
There Mom, I blogged.

Here's a post.
listening: closing time, semisonic
Mom, the reason I haven't posted in over a month is because I'm tired of posting the superficial.
As a matter of fact, that's pretty much what this blog has become. And now I'm posting not because someone asked me to, but because I'm starting to feel really stressed and I need a place to vent.
So. Here goes. Top 3 things on Brett's List of Annoyances and Grievances.
1. As per usual, the big number 1 is school. Homework. Physics. Physics homework. Physics. No matter how many tutorials I go to, no matter how much homework I do, it does not compute. Dynamics is easier than kinematics, but it's still the basics that I'm having trouble with, and it doesn't help that we're six weeks in and she is still introducing 'basics'. Basics on how to calculate the force of tension exerted on a rope between two boxes being pulled at a 20 degree angle to the right? Argh. Tutorials tomorrow yet again. Then there's English, where the teacher is not familiar with the English language. There are 2 spelling of 'civilisation', Mr. Engel. Z and S. Yes, pieces follows the I before E rule. Shocker.
The only class I feel really confident in is bio, and that's good because it's the only science I'm continuing in next year.
2. Baby. There is a baby coming. This one will be easier if I talk to myself.
There is a baby coming, Brett. You are excited for it. So why are you so effing freaked out about it? This one is more of an annoyance, because I have no idea why it's stressing me out so much.
3. People expecting so much of me. Yeah, when I come home after a slower day at work I've started to feel annoyed with my parents for asking how many trucks I did. (Subtlety is not my specialty, so I will address this directly to my parents.) It does not matter how many trucks I did, because there is always a page who does less than me. Several, actually. I'm good at my job, but I don't like bragging about it, and when I do less trucks because it's a slow day, it doesn't mean I suck. It means I do more than just shelve books.
And I thought that this post would help me relax, but really it just made me feel more annoyed.
