So, yesterday I let it slip that I started a blog. And honestly, I had a bit of a panic attack because I was ashamed of the lack of effort I had put into this. So, I decided to add another post to this embarassing blog...in case someone outs me....
Anyway, yesterday was a really great birthday. It was a weird day...but a good day :)
For those who don't know - OC Transpo (our public transit system) went on strike. And it snowed like crazy the night before. So, I was forced to take the 30 minute cab ride in rush hour traffic, or 30 minute walk in the crazy snow to my exam at 9am. So, being the super trooper that I am...I bundled up and headed out into the snow. I arrived just in time...for NOTHING. They ended up starting the exam 45 minutes late (to accomodate for the students who were expectantly going to arrive late). After sitting there for 15 minutes I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs..."C'MON!" But i didn't. I just waited and waited...looking over my notes...and looking over my shoulder at the 50 other students who had managed to arrive on time. Seriously, c'mon.
Anyway, I finished the exam (quite successfully I might add) and ran out of the room with a post-exam twinkle in my eye...only to step outside and remember...I have to walk back home. If it wasn't for the fact that I had just written an exam, I would've cried the entire way home. On the bright side, I'll be able to tell my grandkids about how "when I was your age, I had to walk miles and miles in meters of snow just to get to school!"
Jan took me out to Benitz for dinner...it was yummyyyy :) Had cornish hen and creme brulee...and some random drink made with alize :) Got my presents - a gold necklace and earrings, and Pride and Prejudice miniseries with Colin Firth (definite highlight!). Then, in Joo family fashion decided to go grocery shopping...seriously, I feel like we go grocery shopping ALL THE TIME. But we had no food at home.
So, my phone had been acting up all day, so I finally had a chance to catch up on my msgs, emails, and txts. Got home and skyped with J, L, and C.
Funny story: Ray, jan and I recorded a christmas card for mom to read on christmas when she's in mali. So, we got ray on the phone on the computer and we harmonized "merry christmas" but because he kept hearing an echo...he was always behind by a couple second...so it sounded like..."merry, merry, merry CHRISTMAS (supposed to be altogether).........christmas (that would be Ray thinking that he was singing on time...)!" This would happen EVERY single time we did it. Oh man, I laughed for like an hour. Actually, I'm laughing thinking about it. It's probably one of those things where you need to be there. But it was funny nonetheless.
I think from now on, I'm going to refrain from posting too late at night...because this is almost more embarassing than just having a single entry per month. Back to my take home :(
