I'm exhausted. I just got back from another bike ride to the far reaches of Ville Saint Laurent to visit Elyse on her lunch break at A&C Chemicals: fifteen kilometres there, and another fifteen kilometres back. I'd like to say that she's the one motivating me, but, in the end, my desire to get exercise that drove me out of the house ( Read more... )

The rain started yesterday and never seemed to stop. Granted, I'm ecstatic about not having to work, but if this keeps happening I won't have much of a job anymore. Apparently while I was on the road this morning, Stefanie from Moozoo called to deliver the verdict ( Read more... )

Three hours until graduation starts. I didn't really want to go, but my parents twisted my arm. I finally showed my dad how to use my digital camera; hopefully my quick tutorial didn't go in one ear and out the other. I just got off the phone with Ben. Apparently the whole thing lasts close to three hours. While I don't know at this point whether ( Read more... )

Today was great. Not, that being able to tie up loose ends in a few of my classes wasn't a high point, but the mini-carnival the Marianopolis Student Union put together for us at Activity Period definitely stole the show. They had cotton candy and SnoCones, plus an inflatable basketball thingamajig. I even managed to avoid a sunburn too ( Read more... )

Keeping in mind the flight to Detroit is tomorrow (technically), it kind of bothers me that I haven't packed my bag yet. I went through a process of weighing the pros and cons of going to the wedding until eventually I couldn't take the guilt anymore. It's surprising how powerful a force it can be, considering I could have gotten the house to ( Read more... )

It's a miracle I didn't suffer any brain trauma after karting tonight. They didn't have seat belts, but managed to accelerate really quick. I would have thought that I knew a thing or two about centripetal force, having been subjected to taking several Physics classes. Apparently I didn't learn too much ( Read more... )

I think I'm a believer now. I'm a believer in wishes made while blowing out birthday candles (even if they're in tapioca pudding, and not a cake). I'm a believer in miniature gongs that are supposed to bring a year of good luck (especially when the waitress knows it's your birthday). I'm a believer in Hindu blessings on international express ( Read more... )

I wanted to write about my March break, about going to the Eastern Townships, and taking a trip across the border to finally see Krissy's horse- Hurricane de Bromont (a.k.a. "Carter")- at the stables, but I never got around to it. Come to think of it, something came up as well when I wanted to mention the lab apprenticeship at McGill's Centre for ( Read more... )

I got back from Arne’s this afternoon feeling kind of groggy. My morning daze wasn’t so much attributed to my losing miserably at a game of California Kings, but rather the fact that I didn’t get much sleep the night before. I think I was naïve to have expected a good rest, anyways, with seven of us packed into the basement, keeping each other ( Read more... )

I didn't learn much about foreign policy; I learned that what Americans lack in being able to hold their liquor they make up for with their proficiency in debate ( Read more... )
