One Week to Go!

Happy Birthday to James =) Hope your 21st has been an awesome (although I suspect you may be more than a little tired). It's been awesome knowing you and calling you my friend for the past 7 or 8 years, and I hope it'll remain that way for many, many more =)

(Sorry I can't make it to your party though)

And I now enter my last week at UBC, in this room. It's kinda sad =( I like my room. It may not be as big as my room back home, but it's nice, simple, has everything I need (which, let's face it, is really just my laptop), and is actually more often tidy than my room at home. Go figure.

Had my second-last exam today, it was ok, pretty much the same as normal. Since Thursday I've done not a lot - except get addicted to Tetris. Friday I really didn't do much. Slept in, and messed around until about 4, when I went to Metrotown with Andrew.

We spent 3 hours looking for a sheep, all over this massive shopping centre. It was big enough for me to walk past the same store three or four times, and yet still have no idea where I was. So we walked into many, many stores, looking for anything relating at all to a sheep, and eventually found a little toy sheep at Toys R Us.

I managed to buy nothing but a few lollies, which have already been consumed =(

The shopping centre did have a giant rocking horse though, that actually rocked. It was a bit weird...

Saturday I didn't do much, Sunday I studied a fair amount, and played a fair bit of Tetris. Stupidly addicting game. My problem is, if I do badly, it doesn't count, and if I do well, I need to have another go at it to do even better. It's a vicious, never-ending cycle.

Today was my exam, I slept in, and studied a fair bit (although I did manage to double my previous high score in Tetris an hour or so before the exam).

Had the exam, which was fairly easy. I thought I was running out of time, rushed through it, and then finished half an hour early. It did mean I could waste time checking things stupidly though...

Went to the Village (just outside uni) for a crappy Malaysian meal (tasted like salt...almost), and then went to Mountain Equipment Co-op to buy a backpack for travelling. Picked up a nice, rather large bag for $140, which has a detachable backpack which I can use during the day. Handy =)

And came back, played Super Smash Brothers for an hour or so, and then wasted time. It's been a fairly good couple of days.

I'm gonna spend the next few days tidying up a few things, and perhaps even studying for my last exam on Saturday, and generally sorting things out for my trip.

I've booked my train to Edmonton ($160) on the 18th, and then my flight to Toronto on Christmas Eve ($480 -_-), so yeah, at least I've got plans for a little while.

Anyhow, I think that's it for now. Hopefully post again soon. Not sure if my laptop will be travelling with me (I keep changing my mind), but if it doesn't I'll be sure to at least drop in occasionally via an internet cafe or something.
