Back!! (from nowhere really...)

I have not died. But someone else did so I spent the weekend at home (and it was my Mom's birthday too). Anyways, yeah. Still here. Things just got busy.
In summary:
- I'm now a joint honors student in History and Law in Society - super excited and really not at all bothered by the fact that I won't be graduating this year. My advisor already has plans for me to be doing my masters afterwards.
- Our habitat budget it super low this year - partly due to the fact that we have three personal cars this year.
- My little brother scored his first goal in his five years playing hockey - so proud - so I took him to see Madagascar 2!
- Bought my Mom an expensive wine for her birthday - It was good but so strong - pretty sure I was drunk off a couple sips.
- The library recalled the book I was using for my big paper due on Monday, before I was done with it! I'm a bit stressed now.
- Only two weeks left in the term - but a busy two weeks it will be!

Ok.. I'm supposed to be starting this paper right now. So I should get to it. Tootles!

Am I a horrible person for thinking this is funny?

Embarrassing Moment of the day

I was talking to myself when I was walked into my building this evening. And there was someone else in the lobby. They gave me odd looks. Oops.

My history major is in military history. Ironically I am only taking my military courses this year. It's going to be a very violent year of courses. But super interesting. I'm learning alot of military strategy type stuff too. Which is also interesting. Alrighty, back to the RAF's super horrible bomber command of the early 1940s.

Meet new friends

LilL (also known as L) - littlest and cutest lady I've ever met. She's originally from BC and moved her with her fiance when he started law school. She's an absolute sweetheart. She's well travelled, smart and super kind. She's super little but is a ball of energy. So glad I met her but heartbroken that after this year I'll probably never see her again.
A - recently moved here as well. Also super well travelled. Working on his polisci masters. Can speak several languages. Smart, funny and all around nice guy.

yay for getting gussied up

So I got to dress up last night! Engineers without Borders were hosting a wine and cheese night and I got drug out by Islander and his gf and A (new friend! - but I've got no creative name...)
It was a very good time. Got to buy a dress and feel good. There was wine and we won a martini tasting night in the silent Auction.
We then went to the pub on campus for a bit. Islander's GF and I have hit it off and she's a real sweetheart so we got to know each other while the boys talked politics. Of course.
Ooo but speaking of talking politics. The other day we were out having a few drinks (all my good stories now revolve around alcohol... hmmm) and this friend of Islander's sat down with us and starts ranting about all this stuff which was all really stupid. I sat quietly while Islander, the weird guy and A argued for about 45 minutes. And then I'd had it. I went off on the guy for a good five minutes. I never do that. But it was quite invigorating and I felt very intelligent for once. It's been the talk of everyone for awhile now cause I think I caught everyone a little off guard.
Anywhoo now today I have all afternoon and evening with very little stuff to do so I can get some stuff done. ie. laundry, paper research, and habitat duties.
