First off, a reminder that today is World Aids Day. Though we're only reminded to do so once a year, it's important to remember those who are forced to deal with the reality of HIV/Aids every single day of their lives. So do it, punk.
My wonderful friend Mark, or 'Muck' as he is affectionately referred to, flew into Toronto last night from the Old Country of England. We haven't seen him in over 2 years, so it's been fantastic for him to be incapsulated in our borders once again! He is working busily on his Ph.D. at Nottingham University, so he deserves this break. Hopefully we're able to show him a decent time, what with all the studying I have to do in betweem socializing.

On an academic note, I got some marks back for my Global Warming and Waste Management classes today. I am happy to annouce that some of my hard work this term has paid off, which is comforting, seeing as I spend most of my non-lecture time holed up in this room, studying. I can't believe exams are just a couple weeks away!
And I am still trying to decide whether I should try to change my major in Environment and Resource Management to a Specialist, or if that will only further complicate a complicated 5-year degree. If changing to a Specialist means extra time is need here, then I say forget it, but if not, it would mean I would have an Honours Bachelor with a Specialist and a Double Minor, which is pretty ambitious. We'll see what's on offer for summer school first. I keep 'flip-flopping' on my summer plans. Everytime I think I've made a decision, I change my mind. I have three options:
a) go back to BC for the summer and work full-time
b) stay here and take summer school while working part-time
c) go to Europe and mooch all over again (ok, I can dream)
I guess it's asinine to try to figure this out now, what with it being only December. I just felt like putting it out there though, thereby relieving my stress temporarily. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Ok, ok. Time to hit the books.

Well, coming home is pretty tempting in its on way, because it means minimal responsibility and maximum mooching (also money-saving for school expenses!).
But then I would have to find someone to rent this place for the summer months which sounds like a hassle. And there'd be a stranger sleeping in my bed...
hello, bjorgen smjorgen.
i can't believe how big this blog phenomenom has become. this will be a short comment, so you can get back to studying:
merry christmas in advance, or "winter solstice" as some may call it.
hey Krista
this is JP, Sarah's coworker at the 'Bucks. Sarah can probably vouch for me, but when I saw what you were majoring in, my eyes lit up and got overly excited. I am majoring in geography, formerly with a specialty in human-environment relations, now with a double stream in "the city" and "society and culture". i am a huge geography geek - ask Sarah. hehehe. anyhow, just thought i'd say that im absolutely thrilled that there's another quasi-geographer out there. hehe.
