A week of random events

Well now, we are heading into the final two weeks of school and it is hard to believe that I have been blessed with only one exam this semester. Because of my good fortune, I will be going to Toronto to visit Simon and Justine (and family) some time in early December. I have also taken up crazy Common Ground shifts where I make lattes and sandwiches galore- it should be a good time.

Speaking of the coffee house, I have discovered that I am a trained Barista! Isn't that exciting? All it means is that I can work the expresso machine, mind you, technology these days can have a mind of its own, so it is no easy feat at times. On a side note, I find specialty coffees an incredibly luxurious item. It is not only unnecessary in terms of nutrition, but it is also very over-priced. I think I will cut down on my mocha consumption...but 1/2 coffee and 1/2 hot chocolate do make one killer drink.

I also had another successful event with the Queen's Asian Cooking Club just this past weekend! It was an indian-Mekong luncheon and it was incredible because our executive just picked up two indian fellows who can cook very well. Needless to say, it went well and everyone left with bellies full, apetites satiated.

My volleyball team made it to the finals! I really like volleyball, and even though we have won most of our games by default (i.e. the other teams doesn't show up...) it still feels good to say that we are currently ranked first out of (*ehem*)4 teams. We also had a touch football tournament last weekend. My floor came in 4th! I was so impressed with some of the players! I wish I was more sporty...

Lastly, I have to choose my courses for next semester. This is much more difficult than I had anticipated because I am torn between how much time I wish I have, and how much time I actually have. I must admit that this semester has not been very academic- and though I would like next semester to be more challenging in the classroom, because of Don and my honours project, I wonder if I will be able to balance everything. Only time will tell I suppose!

On a happier note- The Holiday season is upon us! I can not wait to be surrounded by family once more.
