Sunday


It's Sunday! I have so much work to do. But that's ok because I have the time and I feel like doing it. I find it relaxing to just sit and do my homework, and, depending on what it is, I sometimes have music going.

It was homecoming this weekend so Saturday was pretty good. I also got to go the the Manitoba museum down town, nice bus ride. I met this guy, on my floor, turns out he's been to STFX the same year I was and ended up coming here as well. Small world. He took me to the museum thing.

I'm taking my time writing this in between breaks from my work. I really don't have much to write about at the moment. I'm sure I'll think of something as the day goes on.

One thing I do want to talk about is this awesome bacon sandwich I made this morning for brunch. It's going to be my Sunday thing now. The bread they have to make toast is really good and there's always a tone of bacon. I don't think anyone eats it because they're all proper students and think that they are being healthy and will get good marks. I can be healthy and do my push ups in my room while being happy eating my bacon sandwich and just loving my life!
Anyway it was a good sandwich, nice bread, butter, some lettuce and tomato but mostly bacon. :D

Notes are all done now! Sweet! If I can keep this up my Classics test should go well. I've got about 3 hours of reading to do today as well as some analysis of an ANTH article. No worries, I got this.

And ten years later....


I assume this is true for most people at a young age. When your young, you imagined what life would be like when your older. I know I used to do this. I even had some plans for when I was 20. I don't really know what all of them were but there was some general ones.

1) Not to look like a punk
This was more so for my teen years but I'm not quite out of them yet so I'll put it in. I remember watching TV shows and seeing "teenagers" with that punk look/style and being scared that I would look like that when I was a teenager. Well it didn't happen so yeah!

2) Play the drums.
I ended up playing the guitar which was wonderful in it's own right. But I do have the bongos and dejembe drum, so I'd say check!

3)Have a pet wolf.
Jack became my pet wolf. It wasn't that I wanted a wolf just a strong bond with some kinda animal that was my animal. Jack is my animal and I'd die for that dog. Enough said.

4)Forest home.
Working on it.

5)Travel
Now travel at the age of ten was to Halifax and back. I'm way ahead on this one. A whole 200% ahead.

6) Some random stuff.
I know that's broad but I can't remember anything else. There are some givens like school and money and wife/GF (ha!). But I guess I was a practical kid, or just really stupid and sheltered.

Now that I have some time in the mornings I'll get back on this thing and dish out my secrets to the Internet. maybe even a sex tape or 5.

Here in the "PEG"


6:30 Atlantic time I took off on a plane headed to Toronto; never to touch NS soil again until December.

The flights were awesome, however I didn't get to meet anyone cool. I was tired by the time I landed in Winnipeg air port but woke up fast enough when I was assaulted by a very excited best friend! :D

Turns out that Winnipeg is even better than i thought it was! My opinion might change soon though, from what I hear of the winters. But it's too late now, I've got to sleep in the bed I've made. What a nice bed it is too.

My room is fucking huge. Bigger than my room at home. There is one down fall, though, there seems to be a shit pipe coming out of my celling... It does look cool, and I was ok with it, but last night someone left a tap on for a while. I don't want to go to bed on a Saturday night only to find that some drunk bastard has left a tap on above me. Lol.

There was a social last night in the courtyard. The DJ was fucking sweet! No one was at movie night, or I was in the wrong place... lol. But no worries, I just chilled in my room and went to be at like 10:00. Damn jet leg...

I hope to pick up the last of my stuff today and find out where my classes are. I signed up for an orientation class today as well. Library 101, it's only an hour and I'll need to know how to use the library and online archives.

All is well
