Human Services Term Paper

Well, I just completed the largest paper I've ever written in my life. I think it's probably the most challenging assignment of the semester. That's why I haven't updated recently. I was so nervous, because that previous paper forced an all-nighter out of me, and it was one third the size and required half the research. I'd tried to prepare for this more major paper, but I was worried that my preparations would not be sufficient.

I surprised myself, though. The morning of the day before it was due, I was such a nervous wreck. Remember the time I did that all-nighter and OD'd on caffeine? Yeah, this time around, I had heart palpitations before I even put anything in my system. Pure anxiety. But once I got going, I was good. I even managed to get some sleep the night before.

One third of the class failed to hand it in, and it was a very major paper. Late penalty is 40%, with a 60% requirement to pass. Basically, you need 100% to pass if you're late.

I've been getting telemarketer calls on my cell. You know what for? For the Kitchener-Waterloo "Do not call" list. They advertise a service to stop telemarketer calls by using a telemarketing system...

I also got a call from the Guelph hospital. No idea why, they didn't leave a message or anything. I just saw the number, called it back to see who it was, and found myself at the Guelph hospital reception desk.

My cell phone has a weird beep that rings out after a phonecall from some kind of business. I have all it's sound settings muted and the ringer is on vibrate. When a regular person calls, there's no beep, but for the telemarketer call and the Guelph hospital, it beeps after the ringing is done. No idea why, and it's quite annoying.
