I Like It Here.

     I find that the flexibility of a university timetable makes for a very long week. I like it, because I'm not in class for several hours a day, every day of the week. I have a pretty lax schedule, ranging from 1.5 hours a day (Monday and Friday) to 4.5 hours (Tuesdays and Thursdays). And then there is Wednesday, my happy medium of 3 hours. I like it because I start and end slowly and easily. 

    This weekend was the Terry Fox walk. It's a Canadian thing. Basically, there was this guy named Terry Fox who had cancer, and he decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. He only got as far as Thunder Bay, the city I am living in, before his cancer overtook him and he passed away. Anyway, it's become an annual event across Canada to do a run or walk and raise money for cancer research. My house (which is what I call my dorm and dorm-mates) did the walk together, and we dressed in bright and neon-coloured clothing to show our support. It was cool. 

     This weekend is going to be kind of busy for me. I am going to a university hockey game tomorrow night with my sister and niece. On Saturday I am playing floor hockey and participating in Fall Fest, which is something the university puts on. The main reason I am excited for that is because I will get to throw pie in my residence advisor's face to raise money. Then we will probably do something together on Sunday, or I will do some homework. My mother is kind of sad that I am staying here and not going home, but there is just so much to do here, so much fun to be had, and I don't want to miss it. Also, there isn't much to do if I go home other than see my family.

     I don't really have much to say. I have to get some reading done before class, so I will end here. Hope you all have good weekends, enjoy it! And don't forget to be awesome!
