Where's MY Magic Schoool Bus?

This is just a tiny photo-less update. While we have been taking loads of snaps, we have been having difficulty getting the Kodak (not so) EasyShare software to behave itself. Also, the two laptops seem to be having the occasional death twitch. Not good. I am on my own in the house today, while Col is out at an interview. I am going to jump into the shower and then see if I can get some work done before I have to go to work. Next Monday I have: a theology midterm, a 4 page paper and an 8 page paper due. Next Friday, I have to give a 30 minute presentation. All this on top of attending school and going to work. Where hast thou gone, Reading Week?!

Road Warrior


I passed my driving test! Woo-hoo! I fooled 'em! You see, they actually think I can *snickers* drive! Mu ha ha! Well, it is nice to have that out of the way. I had to laugh at the things I was getting docked points for... going too slowly... braking (gently!) upon noticing I was over the speed limit... using a European steering technique (delicate fishing) instead of Alberta's rough and rugged hand over hand... All things I can work on. Anyways, yey!

School is going okay so far. I have a few presentations coming up rather quickly, including one on the film of the same name as this post. They should be okay so long as I give myself plenty of FUBAR-buffer. This means trying to finish about a week early so that I will know if I need to ask for some further direction from my profs.

Mémere is visiting us again on her way back home. Technically she is not staying with *us* per say, but it is just down the street so it just feels like she is in a faraway wing of the house. There are also some relatives from Edmonton in town overnight. Edmonton is not really that far away, but I rarely seem to find myself up there... *ponders*

I have added a new clickable banner to the site. It takes you to a page that enables you to lend part of a micro loan to someone in another country who is looking for a loan so that they might expand their business and better the future, It's a really innovative idea that enables anybody with a Pay Pal account to contribute a part of a loan being raised. Keen! Give 'er a clickity!

I have started working at Rogers Video twice a week. This has been pretty darn nice as far as work goes. The free rentals are an easy distraction from schoolwork though! Oh well... I suppose it will provide me with the opportunity to grow in self-discipline.
