On Friday I had a grammar quiz in English, which I did alright on, even though it was a bunch of stuff that I really could care less about. For instance, we had to read a quote and then state what the predicate nominative, or a subjective completion is. Definitely got that one wrong.
I was supposed to have French right after English, but our prof was sick so he assigned a reading and then sent us out to buy our textbooks, which I did on Thursday. $125 for a soft cover book that makes the French Texts as EMCS look phenomenal. Too bad I needed it right away, or I could have found one on the internet for way less.
I met up with Amber when class was done, we made chicken fajitas for dinner and then went to the Campus for Christ meeting. No free kleenex this time though. We both really enjoyed it, and afterwards joined the group to head off to a pub. Yes, a pub. I thought that was a rather strange place to meet up after church, but apparently not. We had some good food and great conversation...and some reminiscing about Adventures in Odyssey and Veggie Tales.
When I got back at about 10:30 the party had begun in rez. I joined for a little while, and then went back to my room to do some skyping when it got too out of hand. Around 2:30 everyone on my floor went out to Shwarma (I might be spelling that wrong...) which is a Lebanese wrap thing. I didn't have any though, eating unidentifiable food at 2:30 doesn't appeal to me much.
After Shwarma, Taylor and I just went to bed...despite the party which continued all night. There were some very tired people on Saturday!
For those of you who do not yet know what I did on Saturday, you should check out my photo album on facebook. Try copy/pasting this address:

And in case you don't have time to waste on looking at all of my beautiful pictures, I'll explain that Amber and I went to Parliament Hill, and then explored the Byward Market a bit. We went to a tea shop which everyone suggests when I speak about silk road. Silk Road is still my tea store. On the way back I found a hubcap which was plastic, so it's light enough that I can hang it with a removable hook. I'm going to paint something on it, and put it on my wall. Suggestions?
Taylor was out with a friend, and everyone else on the floor went to Hull for Cadeem's (I spelled his name wrong last time) Birthday, so when I got back I did some homework and some cleaning up before going to bed. Taylor ended up spending the night at her friend's place, and it was actually really strange having the room to myself. I didn't like it!
That brings us to today. It's cloudy and drizzling outside, the type of day to curl up with a cup of tea or hot chocolate on a comfy chair and watch a movie. Too bad I'm doing homework instead. I went to church with Amber this morning, we decided to try All Nations, which is the church that runs Church on Campus. It was a little too contemporary for me, and so the quest for a church continues.
Just before I end this post, I'd like to warn you that there likely wont be much posted this week, I have a major assignment due on Thursday for Politics. On top of that, next weekend is Thanksgiving, so please don't be too concerned if when I do post, I'm rather down, as I'm expecting to get hit with a wave of homesickness. Amber and Veronica are both going home for Thanksgiving, and I don't really connect that well with the other people from my floor who are staying here.
You aren't going with either of them? maybe they'll invite you, there's still time.
ReplyDeleteotherwise, that is sad :( we'll skype then, to cheer you up!
