Almost home time!!

Only 9 more days and I leave for home! That's right the 20th and I'm gone for two and a half weeks and I am so excited to get a break from this routine! I've been noticing lately that this adventure in Toronto is starting to get a little bit dull, even though it's only been a bit over 3 months. I'm starting to get pretty bored with the same thing over and over again...so I am so excited to get away for a bit, so hopefully, I can make it an adventure again when I get back. I think my biggest problem is I don't have anything to challenge me right now...especially since I'm a cashier, and know pretty much all the codes for the produce, and my challenge of the day is dealing with the rude customers or learning a new code. So if anyone has any challenge ideas, let me know. Anyway, just wanted to share my excitement with everyone and say Merry Christmas!!

Good Night and Good Luck

I know that many of you are in school right now, feeling the crunch of exams and so I wanted to send a huge encouragment to all of you frantic students, that this too shall pass. Tomorrow I am having my first university exam, and to be honest, I'm nervous and abit warry of what to expect. I've had tests and the like at this dreaded institution, but will my exam be different? It doesn't help that this is the first testing that I've had for this course. I have no idea where I stand coming into this exam, so that kinda gets me shakin'. I really don't like exams and school has never been my "thing." I'm not an academic and exams is what always killed me all through high school. I would go into a course in the 80's and come out after my exam in the 60's. I guess that only happened once, but that one time was enough to psych me out for all proceeding exams.
I wish you all luck throughout the next couple of weeks. I'm extatic for the 13th when it will all be over, (until January) and I can enjoy my holidays with ease! I wish you all the same and until next time, "Good Night and Good Luck."
