So here goes my attempt at keeping my blog more updated, and some little things happened today and yesterday that I can share. Last night there was a BBQ/quiz night down the hill at the rec centre, Kristin and I went together and picked up Michael on the way (Alan was at frisbee or something crazy like that). Went down there, ate some food (was decent, not fantastic). At some point Kristin and I lost track of Gandalf *Michael as he referred to himself at one p...

So not much has been happening this week, but since I've been told to update my blog, here it goes. Mostly just went to classes so I'll give a little blurb about what I did during those. Had my first Indigenous Women tutorial on Wednesday, the room was in such a weird place that the professor herself was 20 minutes late trying to find it. Each person had to sign up to present during a week on a different topic and I chose to do the week on Indigenous Art - very ...

After that, si...

One thing to note: The Australian Lit & Film class that I dropped to take Conservation Biology has Aubrey from Maine (new friend in the making), Alan, AND Michael in it. Crazy. So I had Indigenous Women first, and the professor herself is an indigenous woman, go figure. No exam in that c...

Alright so I just added a blog yesterday, but so much has happened between then and now that I thought I should add another one. Last night (Friday night) figured I was just going to be in for the night since no one made plans when, lo and behold, Kristin shows up and asks if I want to go out to a club. Not having anything else to do, and curious about it, I said yes - of course dragging Alan into it as well as asking Kristin to ask Michael *who lives closer ...
