Hmmm...howdy y'all.
I'm aware it's been a few days since I last wrote...but quite frankly, don't know what to write! Have had the weekend off from study before 'going under' for another week (paper/exam)...then my study here is done...'til I hit home and start work on my final paper due Feburary 01st. It's so monotonous to keep you informed of my SCHOOL work! But pretty much that's a lot of my life at present. The end is nigh!
So, my weekend-off was great. Went to a Christmas banquet on Friday night which was super slick. Very yummy food, some fun dancing and hanging with the girls. The only photos that were taken were mega posey ones...so yeah, didn't really manage to capture the event on film very well other than our faces...and you already have a fair idea what I/we look like! Saturday night Sarah and I went and saw a most enjoyably funny movie. It took 45mins driving around to find a carpark in downtown Vancouver amidst the horns tooting, glaring Christmas lights everywhere, limousines and crowds. The experience really confirmed for me...I'm not a city girl that's for sure! (By the way, apparently the story I did have in here doesn't make sense...so I've edited it :)).
Last night, went to a Dicken's Christmas church service (Bah, humbug!). Then a movie night at Sarah's watching 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas' with Jim Carrey. Surprisingly enjoyable and apparently a 'must-do' Christmas tradition. Yes, have never been so 'Christmasised' in my life as I have whilst being in North America. In fact, let me take a pic of our Christmas tree. :) Haven't had one of those for many a year either! Quite fun really. Oh, did I mention the 7 spoons and tub of Mars icecream too? (That's just a girls night tradition not a Christmas one).
Tim tells me he's doing well in Bangladesh amidst the crazy driving and copious amounts of rice and curry. Wind is howling and work to do. Hope you're all doing well.
