a world of difference

back at school again.
frouke, gertine and myself braved the bad weather to come down to hamilton, so i could go back to class tomorrow. now, in itself i would have rather stayed, but exams and assignments dictate otherwise. church was cancelled for the afternoon which signals the extent of the bad weather, and as expected for the first 50km we could see less than a meter in front of us, and the rest was just an endless array of whiteness. but of course, as we come south there is next to no snow, and i have relearned the definition of winter ... and we dont have it in hamilton. except for cold of course .. which now is where it should be: outside of our walls.

and ... this time a real good drumroll please ... the heat is back! a whopping 21C. which makes me very happy, after a humbling experience, i wont be taking heat for granted again. plus i got the battery for the computer fixed, so this week will be much better than last if only for warmth and limited computer problems. i am also very excited for my laundry soap. i realize i must sound pretty crazy like it, but it is vanilla and waterlily, and it smells soooo good!! little things in life.

too bad ottawa lost to toronto in a shootout this weekend though. which has been nicely rubbed into my face this weekend by my so-called friends. i did for a moment think it was not really fair to put the pressure on my favourite J-man to win the game, but then again it was just a game. and shootouts in my opinion are not really a game ... more like an expensive way to flip a coin. either way, congrats to those who care.

song: "Ik ben boer Harms en kom uut Drent' en ik hou van disco Ik weet het is nie te geleuven moar het is zo Als ik die disco heur dan tril ik op mien benen ..." - nothing beats these kind of songs

Dude...that is so true.

Your J-Man tried his best. The rest of the team should have played better for the first two periods.

Glad to have you back.
