See I am bad, because I actually changed the posting date so it seems i sent this on my dad's birthday. I actually talked to him yesterday (or should i say 'today', so it is all good.) Ihope he had a wodenrful time on his birthday. He said he was going out for dinner, and it sounded really good!
I just wanted to leave a little message saying that I am trying to get to my blog and write in it.. I have lot's of stuff to write about and my fingers are itching... but I'm to tired. So Instead I am going to bed... it will happen though! Eventually ;-)
Hope everyone is having a great day or night and write you soon!

Crazy prof action..
Hey there, it's been a while so time for a little update..
So many thoughts in my head so little time really. Last time we where visiting Poppa he showed us these really old diaries that his relatives have left him from the 1800's. It was *so* neat. It really made me want to keep a dairy, not just this blog, a real one.. I mean what may seem sort of every day to day stuff now might be alittle treasure 150 yrs from now you never know. I could have spend all day reading those little diaries.. awesome..
Then I was trying to catch up on some blog reading that I have been neglecting. My friends are such enthousiastic writers that it is sometimes difficult to keep up to date on everything. M's travel log is really quiet cool. It makes me want to travel through Canada even more then I already did before.. Oh well it will have to wait a little while yet.
Saturday was first work and then a birthday party of a friend of mine. We met her at the park and played frisbee, had a picknick with lots of good bad stuff, and then went out for pizza.. Yum but pretty unhealthy. I have noticed that my body really doesnt like unhealthy food as much anymore as it used too before we started to eat better. After that we went over to her house and played a bunch of board games. I'm not much of a boardgame person, but these were a lot of fun!
Sunday was the burrial of Alan's grandma's ashes. The cemetery was really quiet a lovely peacful place and in ways different from the ones back home. She was burried close to her sister and other relatives. The ceremony was more approriate then the first one as well. I find it really difficult to write about things like this because it feels like I dont really have to vocabulary to explain what I really mean to say without sounding superfyshial. I mean of course it is a sad event but.. I dont know I cant explain it.. When we got to grandpas house we decided to walk to the old dairy where they make really good ice cream. Grandpa had done some cleaning up and had found change in all sorts of little spots where grandma had tucked some away. (little things like that make me smile and make me feel sort of warm inside because it reminds me of my oma and the little things she used to do. Eventhough as a child I thought they were kind of strange they now have a special little spot) Grandpa decided we should use it to buy the ice cream as Grandma's treat.. The icecream was very good. I had chocolate moosetracks and strawberry.
Monday I worked my two jobs and so I left the house at 7:30 and and came back at 22:00. It was along day, but it will be nice ones I get my paycheck. Today was a schoolday, and I disccovered my biology prof is a little bit strange. He completely freaks out when people talk in class, and when I mean talk I mean bend their heads toward eachother and whisper so softly that the person next to them cant even hear them. He is really paraniod about it... Are you talking? There's only one person talking here at the time.. bla bla yadayada. He also has a thing against cellphones ringing in class. Appearantly he writes questions for the midterm/final right after each class so he knows what has been covered and what not I guess.. but anyway, he claims that if people disrupt his class by talking he will put really hard questionson the exam... If a callephone goes of he will ask us a 'cell phone question' aka impossible to understand for anyone but him, and so everyone in the class is boung to loose marks.. He gets really worked up.. to the point where you can tell he is trying to supress his anger.. starts paseing you know.. the whole bit.. Anyway, this could be an interesting semester between him and the organic chem guy who is not into teaching at all... We will see, all I can say is.. 'always look on the bright side of life' tweedlydee' Gotta go my nrighbours have arrived!

"prep" week of school
Time goes by so fast and yet so slowly. I know, that sounds kind of strange, but the last couple of days have been crazy. Probably because they where so long. Anyway, let me tell you about the last long weekend of the summer first. We decided to go down to visit Alan's poppa on the weekend. It was veru nice weather. We helped him with a whole bunch of stuff around the house and went for a wonderful meal at Alan's aunt's. Had a swim. The water of the p0ol is basically the same temperature as the water I use to shower with, realy quiet nice. :) Alan's cousin's where there as well and it was good to see them again. On sunday we helped poppa taking down an old shed/barn. unfortunatly I wasnt very careful and got a bunch of splinters in my arm. Because the wood is so old the splinters break everytime you try to take them out, and so I have a few little guys that will have to come out on their own. Oh well, not everyone can say they have piece of 100 yr old barn in their arm :P
Then this week is the "prep"week as we call it at itv.. oohh sorry I mean CUtv, still not very used to that name. But anyway, I started back there on tuesday. It was very nice to see everyone again after the summer. we have three new people working for us... I'm not to sure what to think of them as of yet so a character sketch will have to wait till a little later. One of the girls at work is pregnant which I think is really cool. She looks pretty cute with her mommy tummy.. We'll have to play the "name game" and find her baby a name, we did that for one of the other ladies who was going to be a grandma, we actually almost named her granddaughter and grandson, but they changed their minds .. *sigh* oh well.. whatever
other then that I'm still working at the book store, so I am working quiet a bit at the moment, nothing wrong with that, and tomorrow is my first day of classes. I think my biol prof is really enthousiastic. He has his website up and running, has like notes and slides and handouts and practise questions and all that stuff on there already, and he is starting the labs this week.. yeah, you heard me right! Normally labs dont start until at least a couple of weeks from the first day of class... oh well. Luckily labs dont start until friday, and my lab isnt until tuesday, so I have a little bit more time to prepare. Well kids I am really tired so I am heading to my little bed..
ohhh just wanted to mention I had a free supper as there was a welcome newstudents and president barbeque on the main quad at school, so I got a free hamburger and drink and chips.. Score for me, I never had frosh week so I deserved that burger I tell you :P anyway.. night night...

Short little update.. I'm happy because:
- stage one of my blanket has been completed.. All 80 squares are finally done, still 3 more stages to gothough
- rumour has it my littler big brother has graduated! Hooray for him :D I'm so proud of him! He is doing really well
- I am going away for the long weekend to Alan's Poppa, which should be a good time the weather is supposed to be really good
On a sad note. I have heard that our favorite thai food place burnt (down) last night. I'm not sure how bad it is.. I hope nobody got hurt and the restaurant is still salvagable.. :( Poor people..
Sad notes are usually not a good place to stop writing, but unfortunatly I am running out of time as I still have to pack... Talk to you when I get back
