Back to school

I don't have a whole lot to write at the moment. I had a lot of ideas but nothing that I think I can effectively materialize. This last week went really fast. Made it back to Kingston last Sunday afternoon. Monday we were back to class, and I found out that I really need to get my butt in gear. Last semester was a bit rougher then even I anticipated, but after talking to some people I discovered that's a popular trend with some students coming out of rural Manitoba/Saskatchewan, and the Maritimes. So I'm back to giving it 120% and working my butt off. Switched rooms on Thursday. I unfortunately lost my view of Kingston and the causeway. It was replaced with the ability to watch everyone in the drinking mess and listen to everyone who runs up the stairs drunk on a Saturday night. On the brightside I've got a good room mate. Friday morning we had to clean out the squadron storage room. We found stuff in there that belonged to people who graduated 2-3 years ago. In fact someone is missing an entire suitcase of civilian clothes. Since all this stuff was up for grabs my room mate and I grabbed a bunch. We ended up with some of those folding camp chairs so now we sit around in our room doing home work and reading in camp chairs. I do this while sipping on apple juice from a beer glass to pretend like I'm partying when in actuality I'm stuck doing school work. He also picked himself up a blender from the storage room and we got a few basketballs.

Oh remember how I was trying to pick up in the bar using French? Well my French teacher asked us if we practiced our French over Christmas and was proud to hear I spoke some for about 5 minutes in the bar. I didn't mention that I was trying to pick up with it though........

In other freakish news I was reading in a men's magazine about a surgery a person can get for their ears. We all know some people like to put those weird grommet things in their ears and weird piercings, but what do Star Trek and Lord of the Rings fans get done to theirs? They get the tips of their ears surgically enhanced or changed to be pointy like those of their favourite Vulcan or Elf. Personally not my thing, the surgery looks painful (having the tips of your ears stitched together!). More on this and other odd body modifications at www.stevehaworth.com

Well that's all for me right now! Keep on rocking in the free world and if you live in Manitoba I'll be seeing you in a few weeks (yes I realize I just got back to Ontario) when I'm back in the Keystone province for Spring Break/Reading week!
