Although it would take Roddick's fastest serve (about 240 km/hr) less than 13 hours to make it.
Well, I have now almost been here one complete week. I still feel like I have a bit of jetlag, but I think that whatever I’m feeling it just more due to being back in school after being on a mental hiatus (well, not completely, so no cracks about it, please) for over a year. All of my dreams that I remember are still set at home with my family and friends from Ontario; does this have any bearing whatsoever on whether I feel as if I’ve really settled in yet?
I have not yet really had time to go exploring through the city, but I have been downtown a couple of times, and am getting to know my way around a little better. I’m more grateful than ever that I have a sense of direction. My classes seem like they’re going to be great, and I like (so far) my profs and classmates. Nothing too out of the ordinary as far as expectations and workload go. I’m going to be reading a lot of textbook material and journal articles, but again, that’s not unexpected. I have no exams for any of my courses, which means that I can be home for December (the whole month), especially special since it means I’ll see one delightful little girl celebrate her 3rd birthday … Now who could that be?
On the lighter side of things, I signed up for tennis and indoor volleyball intramurals, tennis ladder (where you try to get to, and stay at the top of, a pyramid of players), and am hopefully starting playing pick-up hockey tomorrow. So now I just have to go out and buy the equipment that I am currently in need of.
And a digital camera is on my Christmas list, because then I could post some pictures, but as it is, neither I nor my suitemate have one. That’s right, we’re stuck in the dark ages here on the Island. But it’s worth it, whatever that means. :)
One final note: NHL Pre-season starts next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D Go Leafs, go Canucks, go Oilers!!! And on a less exuberant note, go Sabres (don't ask).

Im being very very stupid, but where is the city you are writing about, perhaps I should know, but even so, perhaps I am not stupid and its just that none of us know, who are reading you blog, where you are?
Hmmm .... myabe if I knew who you were (a little more specifically that someone who doesn't want to identify themself) I would feel more comfortable with telling you where I am. But that's the Empress Hotel in that first picture, for a hint.
More updates plz!!!!
