And so begins week 2 of back to school and I'm none the worse for wear. I must admit that  I was very weary about leaving my Christmas break nest of blankets and knitting in my warm bedroom to return to the cold winnipeg weather and crazy stress of school but right now I'm really happy.

Rings and Fields today was an absolute blast. My prof is so ( Read more... )

So I'm quite excited for today. That's right, it's that math/stats departmental New Years party hosted by yours truly and my wonderful executive! This is the first time we're trying out a New Years party. The last two years we've had "Non-denominational Politically Correct Holiday Celebrations" :P, or as I prefer Christmas Parties, but term ended ( Read more... )

I would just like to register a complaint against the university for changing the keyboards and mouses in the uplink centre. It's a new fangled French keyboard and I can't find any of the non-letter keys and all the buttons are too close together and I keep hitting wrong keys and it just feels wrong. Plus the mouse is just bizarre and I can't ( Read more... )

Well, it's nearly 2007. How in the world did time pass so quickly? I remember the 2000 New Year so vividly. It's hard to imagine that it's been 7 years since then. I guess that means that I'm growing up doesn't it? There's nothing special planned for tonight. Probably just watching movies and doing some knitting. Desperately trying to forget that I ( Read more... )

And so it's now Christmas Eve... well Christmas Eve day at the moment. But in a few hours it'll really be Christmas Eve! Which means one more sleep until Christmas and lots of family and I couldn't be more excited. I love Christmas time. But it seemed to come so soon again this year. It's like you blink and wham! Christmas again. This past term has ( Read more... )

Two more days until Christmas, eeks! I'm quite excited. But mostly excited to get to see my extended family. Or most of them. My aunts that were coming tomorrow night backed out and I don't know if they'll be at either of the other two family dinners I'll be at. But one can always hope on the holidays right ( Read more... )

Where to start? Perhaps pleasant and then move to least pleasant?
My trip to Toronto was quite superb though entirely too short. It was a really neat experience getting to meet all the people on the CMS Student Committee (Studc) that I'd been corresponding and working with for the past year. It's much nicer to know who's on the receiving end of your ( Read more... )

Another night of contradictory feelings. So much I wany to do but at the same time I don't want to do any of it. Or I want to do the exact opposite just as much. So I'm just sitting in a kind of limbo. My brain really not registering anything. Half watching CSI, reading a bit fo "A Complicated Kindness". I'm trying to read more. This weekend I read ( Read more... )
