So for my phonetics final one of the questions was like this:

I'm curious to know how many of you can tell the diffrence between an American and Canadian accent, and how you perceive them. For instance, yesterday I was sitting in lecture and leaned over to my friends asking, "Is his voice just heavy or is he American?" Clearly "heavy" isn't exactly the technical term, but it's definitely the way I perceive ( Read more... )

Haha, this summer has flown by and I sort of didn't even realise it had been so long since the last time I posted. And then of course I feel awkward posting. I hope you all had a good summer ( Read more... )

Last night I went to the No Doubt concert with...well, my brother and our two best friends. Greg's really quite the fan of Gwen. But holy crap, I was in charge of getting tickets and I no idea what I was looking for at the Saddledome...and managed to hook tickets about ten feet from the stage? Like, could see the band better and in more detail by ( Read more... )

I just handed in my last bit of biochem homework! I'm finally free. Except for the part where my next set of classes start in a few minutes. What is up hour and a half of summer break.

Whilst eating ( Read more... )

Today I say goodbye to kitty and send him to his home. I'm doing alright now, but I'm sure I'm gonna burst into tears later. I won't be sad to start sleeping in more than three-hour bursts, but I've become used to having a ball of fur crawling all over me at all hours and sleeping and purring away in my bed ( Read more... )

Omgosh, my kitty has taken over my life. I literally spend most of my time worrying over him, cuddling him, cleaning him, feeding him, and either grumbling that he's pooping too much or desperately trying to get him to poop more. I have learned something: I should not be given children or anything dependent on my care. Particularly as he weighs ( Read more... )
