I'm gonna go skating finally!

Okay so I forgot to post again, but no biggie because it's only 12:45 right now so it's not that late. I am getting better lol. 

This week has been pretty good, I think I've started the semester too relaxed though, I need to make sure to keep on top of my readings, unlike last semester. 

The canal has finally opened for skating here, so I'm going tomorrow with some friends I met here and again on Sunday with some friends from back home who also go to school here in Ottawa. Hopefully it won't be too cold, but it will be cold enough so it doesn't melt again right away. Also my sister is going to be working at the Beavertail Shack on the canal both those days so she said she'd see if she could hook me up with a discount, score!

Today in my film class we were going through a brief history of film and we got to watch some of the first films made. It was really neat actually. I liked watching Le Voyage dans la Lune by George Melies. Partly because it was pretty imaginative, because it was so old and the hand colouring was cool to look at, and because I remember seeing that in Hugo whenever that movie came out.

I got a pen pal from Australia, which is pretty exciting. We met on tumblr and decided to write each other. It's been fun getting to know her through letters. We plan on sending each other drawings and other trinkets too when we can. 

I've been looking at some old story ideas I wrote throughout high school and I've been inspired to write them out, or at least expand on the idea some more so I have a better idea of how the story all pans out. It's bound to be a slow process, but it's fun and it's better than never doing anything with all the little idea blurbs I write down all the time.

(potential slight Hobbit spoilers in this paragraph) Deidra, there's reasons for why the eagles don't fly people everywhere they want to go. Pretty sure it explains it in the book, so maybe you should read those next. But yeah Radagast was the best, loved him, loved his animals, and it is now my dream to be pulled on a dogsled like him by epic rabbits. Don't ask me how, but it'll happen, just you wait.

Katie, hope you're feeling better. Kate, yes less internet is good so read more (a note I should also follow). Campion, congrats on passing high school, and just keep chugging, I'm sure you'll find a job eventually.

DFTBA
