So I just came to notice that my last post was over two weeks ago! Shame on me! Granted, the past two weeks have been far less packed with goings-on as I am on a water-tight budget at the moment. Here is a round up of some of my recent activities:
1) too much homework. Finals is right around the corner, and i keep having to write paper after paper.
2) been to the Dollar Cinéma several times. I love the guy that works there because he is just so relaxed about everything!!!
3) went to a ROLLER DERBY match!!!! It was soooo sooo cool! plus I got to ride in a car for a wee bit. I miss driving :-/ I know that its bad for the environment.....but still.
4) Changed my flights to go home for Xmas. Going back on the 19 Dec! Not long left...and I will already be half way through my time in Canada.....can't believe it....

Club in the Clouds
Well this weekend was certainly interesting. Some epics nights out, along with a club on the 43rd floor of a skyscraper in Centre-Ville! Soooo cool! You can google pictures of "1 Place Ville Marie" for pics of the building, or "Club 737". Saturday was a great gathering. We all met up at Sarah's house and made MEXICAN! She lives a relatively short distance from Provigo on Avenue Mont Royal, so we walked over there and bought all the ingredients, including a pumpkin pie and ice cream!!! The conversation was riveting, including a game or two ;) All in all, a succesful and relatively inexpensive night for all.
Sidenote: I go home for the holidays in 6 weeks. And I have been in Montréal for 3 months. Jeeeeezus.

All Hallow's Eve
Last weekend was HALLOWE'EN! Ever money-smart, I did my cowboy costume again. Bought a cowboy hat, pink and fluffy for a fun effect, and borrowed a pink bandana. Got to say, I was a much more colourful cowboy compared to the other ones running around. Friday night we went to Club 1234. First off, never go there. The service is crap, drinks are costly, and too many people squeeze in. However, having fantastic friends makes a difference! We danced our way through the evening, along with some lovely time spent on the outside deck (with even an accident slip in a puddle by a few people *wink*). Anyway, late night homemade fries at Morris's was a great way to end a yet another lovely evening in the city. The day of Halloween rolled around, and in full collegiate style, I woke up around 3pm. Lazed around, studied as much as I could (hehe), then watched Johnny English :) Here is a piece of advice: ever sad? Watch some British comedy. The night was finished off with a feast of sorts at Cameron's, with "Corpse Bride" and "The Others" as company. Sunday was studying-filled. Monday, the start of a new week of school...Tuesday, a disappointing election for the LGBT community. Wednesday, I went for a walk up the mountain with Bonnie and Sarah, despite it hanging around 4 degrees Celsius (about 39F), then we got hot chocolate form Tim Horton's to defrost! Helped Bonnie with some french, then on my way home, I walked into a conference on Obama's first year in office. One of my prof's had mentioned it in class, and it was certainly intriguing. Obama's health care efforts were analysed, and clearly everyone on the panel was in favour of them. All seemed to rather positive of his job, but were expecting better in the future years. I find Obama to be a good president, regardless of my opinions on the issues. I do not line up eye-to-eye with him on several things, but he did pass the hate crimes bill last week, so its a step in the right direction regarding that issue anyway. Class tomorrow, so it is bedtime for me. Perhaps another posting soon :)

Quick let down
Just wanted to leave a quick message that Maine has let its LGBT community down. Those who voted to keep same-sex marriage are to be congratulated; those who voted otherwise, well aren't.
