Happy to be here, sorry to be gone. It’s really too bad that to be somewhere else you have to leave the place you’re in, at least for me in this circumstance, that’s the case. I realize the universal application may be a bit lacking. At least, though I’m in the city, I’m in a basement, which has the benefit of being cool (though it does let a lot of light in). My first full day here, Tuesday, was spent finishing unpacking, getting some groceries, and wondering how it is that an ant infestation preceded my arrival (and the arrival of the aforementioned groceries).

It seems a lot of people (not just you, Anne), are rereading at least Harry Potter volumes 5 and 6 in preparation for the release of the Deathly Hallows. I haven’t reread the 5^th one, and don’t ever plan to. I just didn’t enjoy it that much, especially as the best part of the book (and the only part I would be tempted to reread) had the unforunate coincidence of containing the death of my favourite character. Bah! I liked the Transformers movie more than the 5^th book, and also quite likely more than the 5^th movie. Too bad my favourite character had to die in that one, as well.
So, plans for the near future include: trying to register for a summer course, looking for a job, getting a start on the project component of my program, and spending some time outside. Yeah, sounds good to me!!
