The end of my work term is just around the corner! With Christmas less than a month away, you would think that things would be nice and relaxed in my world. Unfortunately, I've been pretty busy lately. My Distance Ed exam is this Saturday and I've decided to take on a relatively ambitious work report. So it goes...

This past weekend I stayed indoors and worked all weekend except for a brief interlude to buy groceries. Because the closest supermarket to my place here moved to another location, it took me 2 hours to get groceries. Gross. I got a lot of work done though. Because I always work best at night, the side effect of my getting a lot of work done is that I became almost completely nocturnal this weekend. I was sleeping at around 5am and waking up at around 3pm. Needless to say, Monday morning was painful.

If you haven't done it yet, go read Microserfs. I just finished it. An excellent read. Especially for techies.

Have you been back to your elementary school since you left it? A few weeks ago I got to take an extra long weekend and I went back to Toronto to chill. For the first time in ages, I found myself at home on a Friday afternoon. So, on a whim, I decided to go to my old elementary school and see if my favourite teacher from back in the day, Mr. Stanford, was still there. It was a little surreal. When I first walked in, I thought, "wow, things have changed." On further inspection, I realized that they hadn't. I had. I ended up finding Mr. Stanford and having a nice chat. It brought back a lot of nice memories.
