expanded family

while i have a ginormous econometrics assignment hanging over my head ... i do have the time to introduce you to my new friend, 'booh' he was a birthday gift from one of my new, and superbly awesome friends here in ottawa. i will take good care of him, and make sure that he will be an avid sens fan, which i am sure he will just learn from me by osmosis.

this weekend another friend made a comment about how people, in general, have a tendency to want to rush life (ie. can not wait for the weekend, can not wait to turn 19, to graduate from school etc.), and i have to agree with her. as such, i am now going to enjoy the next few hours before i go to bed .... sweet dreams!

and then you - greg laswell

a little bit wiser

"let’s go far away

see this world that God has made

and know our hearts are in his hand

this lovely one who counts the sands"

i have been playing this song a few times over, the last few days, because it is so simple, but poetic and well ... so good! since i have exhausted my playlist over the summer, and the first few weeks of school i am so excited to have full access to the internet and find new music to love. i also like downloading textbooks, which the bookstore so inconveniently does not carry, so i can study econometrics via the pc. it is econometrics that is creating a bit of a dark cloud, and a bit of rain over my birthday, but i guess signing up to do a master's degree means you are relinquishing your freedom of choice. so i won't be able to choose to take the day off tomorrow. and now that i am officially a bit wiser, i might be able to finish the assignment?

i better. when i have some more time i will actually fix my header. and my facebook wall. and install a curtain rod. and ...

since i don't actually have a lot of news. and i also am a little tired from the party we had tonight ... i might just call it a night. well, since it is night, that is not anything original, but you know, it is about time to hit the hay. sweet dreams!

dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge

after an interesting night of playing dodgeball, for the first time, and well .... dodging for the most part, i am watching late night episodes of shortland street. i have no idea why, although i am thinking this long and difficult econometrics assignment may have something to do with it. and i have a pile of marking to finish over the weekend. i think i might have to skip on my own birthday.

and i better catch a few zzzzz's

robbie seay band - shine your light on us

smoke signals

hello!

i am still alive! once i get intertubes installed, or a wireless version without tubes, i will make a greater effort to update regularly. of course by that time, i will be officially busy times two. but it'll be okay.

since i am in the habit of listing a song i currently listen to at the end of my posts:
theo tams - sing

before september ends

on facebook i may have uttered a deep hatred for matrices. well, i want to take it back, and replace with a similar feeling towards differential equations.

18 more days until hockey unofficially starts. with a game against the rangers. more officially, hockey does not start for more than a month. enough time for me to get settled, and have found a really good bar to watch the game at. especially since i am pretty sure we won't be able to afford cable/satellite for any time soon.

also, 25 more days until my birthday!

and that is all i have to mention, especially because after a weekend of studying, and some more studying i don't have very many exciting stories to tell. although, i did go to manotick on saturday: such a lovely little town.
