they say it's possible to me.

Wow, it's been awhile since I last wrote. I guess between Facebook & uploading pictures to Flickr, I figured anyone who wanted to could piece together the recent events of my life (with a little less bitching and moaning). But I got a very sweet compliment about my blog from a few friends this weekend which ulimately inspired the update.

(insert very random fact) Lately when I write - emails, even essays for school! - I've been starting many of my sentences with 'But' and 'And'. Growing up, I was taught that this was a cardinal sin. I'm not sure what inspired my recent naughtiness but so far, no one has complained. My English teacher (yes ANOTHER course in English - since apparently Canada's English is too far fetched) seems too "new school" to mind.

Right now, things are going well (what is there really to say to fill a YEARS worth of time since I last wrote). I am COMPLETELY swamped in bones and muscles for anatomy/physiology. I have a lab final on Thursday and I'm coming to accept that there's no humanly possible way for me to cram everything I need to know in my frontal lobe before then. It's actually quite sad that I don't get more time to really learn this material - it is interesting! But (see I did it again), a week isn't nearly enough time to learn the appendicular skeleton and the entire muscular system. (insert singing) The ichial tuberocity is connected to the ------- bone. The Pronator teres is connected to the ------- muscle and ------ -------- bones. Oh well, hopefully the exam won't be as nasty as I'm imagining it to be.

I finally received my student (f1) visa! I'm excited that the paperwork came through and I don't have to worry about having to deal with immigration papers for hopefully a long while. Although, I told Paul that if a certain politician becomes president in the next election I refuse to stay in the US... so we'll have to see.

2 more weeks and I'll be back in Calgary. Not so sure I'm as thrilled about going back since I heard it was -25 Celsius (-13 Fahrenheit). My bones seriously hurt thinking about it!

I better get back to the books. Thanks blog for the few minutes of procrastinating.
