Alive and kicking (and also cold and have broken shoes.)

Hey guys,

Just thought that I'd post something to prove to you that I'm still alive. The lack of posts hasn't been because I've been too busy like one might logically assume. It's pretty much because nothing has really happened since Montreal. A little bit of this, a little bit of that. Y'know.

Probably one of the only two things worth mentioning is Nuit Blanche which was a 12 hour art show all around Toronto. It went from like, 6pm to 6am but seriously, you couldn't see everything in that time even if you tried. There was a lot of shit going down EVERYWHERE. Zombies, rubber ducks in a pond, light shows and a lot of other stuff. I didn't really get to see much though, mostly cos we didn't leave the hotel till like, midnight and we went back at about 2ish cos all the bars were closing (which is kinda stupid if you think about it. C'mon, there were massive crowds of people everywhere! If you were a bar and had the sense to stay open after 2am you would have made a killing. I suppose it would have something to do with liquor licensing laws or whatever but still).

Next would be Thanksgiving. Canadian Thanksgiving is about a month before the American one. Take THAT America! I think Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving for the same reason as the Americans do which is weird cos like, I'm pretty sure none of that pilgrim stuff happened in Canada eh? I think it's just an excuse to eat turkey. Anyways, because a lot of people in the Primrose (as well as from other residences) had gone back home for the weekend all the international students who couldn't go home decided to have our own Thanksgiving dinner. We decided to each make a dish and bring it down to the basement level and we would proceed to feast on the carcass of a dead bird among other things. I made the cookies (someone threw out the ones I was saving for my sister which was disappointing. Mostly for her but y'know). It turned out a lot better than I thought it would to be honest, there was a good range of food there. The Danish guys made Danish stuff, the Spanish girls made Spanish stuff and everyone had a good time. I even pitched in for a crate of beer. Needless to say that was drunk pretty quickly. The really funny thing though happened the next day when I realised there was a security camera in the room we were in which caught pretty much everything. We weren't in trouble though which was good. Ming just asked why he wasn't invited.

I think that's pretty much all. Oh, wait, yeah, uni work is kinda starting to pile on right now. It kinda sucks. I didn't come here to study!

It's also steadily getting colder. I also have a feeling my shoes will break in a few days.
