"dude!"

i have absolutely zero motivation to get my last assignment done for this mentoring seminar. it doesn't help that i just got back the result of my initial bible knowledge exam, which was a measly 38%. considering my assignment is looking directly at biblical examples of mentoring, it's pretty safe to say that i'm feeling extremely unconfident about what kind of paper i'd turn out. the class is due in exactly a week, but the professor hasn't returned any of my previous assignments to give me feedback. i'll have to skip small group on thursday and spend my friday night slaving away over a hot laptop if i'm going to get this done. but i keep telling myself i have an entire week to do it, and at the rate i've been finishing assignments so far i'm in that mindset where i now i can pull one off in less than 4 hours if i really put my mind to it, so it can wait.

but it really can't.
but i don't want to face it.
uuuuugh.

if there was ever a single person on the planet who has the excruciatingly improper wiring for self-learning, it's definitely this person. now, please picture me pointing at myself with both thumbs with enthusiasm and you've officially entered my mind.



i've been asked to come in to re-do my online courses for the bank this saturday, so that on a whim they can call me in last minute for a desperate saturday situation. they haven't been able to nail down anything concrete regarding fridays but they want me for saturdays at least once in a while, which is better than nothing. i told them that i'm not available fridays starting april now that they've waited this long but there's apparently some issues that have come up and they don't want me right away anyways. soooo i'm getting paid to go in and do a bunch of super easy quizzes for a couple of hours this weekend. i need to be out of there by 1:00 but that leaves me with almost 5 hours pay, which will be nice in 3-4 weeks when it comes into my account.



and it got sorted out today that i am going to visit nic and the fam at the beginning of april for a night and most of the next day...then i'm bringing jayden home with me and he's coming as my date to the children's ministry appreciation event and then spending the night at my place. i'm pretty excited for it because we haven't had a j&j sleepover in a while. we've had the kind of bond, since he was born, that has never changed even though i don't see him as often as i'd like to. he's remembered exactly who i am ever since we played our first game of "dude!" in the car when he was only a year old, which is a really special thing to me. although it always turns out that i'm more than ready to send him home after only a night, i look forward to our sleepovers because i get to be a very proud aunt jacquie and show him off to my family and friends.


well other than all of that, i certainly don't have much more going on. i have pants that fit and a thousand bazillion pipes and elbow joints waiting for me at the church. but i also have to somehow manage being in two places at once, because for some silly reason i double booked myself.

this is about the time where i leave you with a super cute picture of my favourite nephew (for now - soon i won't be able to pick) and bid you adieu.
