Finally Updated Flickr!

Wow, I can't believe it took me a week! But my Toronto pictures, as well as a few that have been taken since then, are now on my Flickr photostream! It was weird, as I really didn't take all that many in Toronto (mostly the building pics, but also some cat pics at my friend Shawn's place).

Oh, and my dad finally posted a few more pics on Flickr. Please check them out, they're awesome! You can find them here!

Home from Toronto!

I am now home from Toronto! I had a lot of fun during my trip and cannot believe that it is over already! Now I'll have to catch up on sleep....

The first night I hung out with a couple of friends in Brampton and we had a Bad Movie Night! I would go into details, but I am trying to forget about one of the movies we watched (Queen Kong). The next day I went back into downtown Toronto and stayed with my bro. We had many wacky adventures (like buying yogurt spoons). Sadly, I did not take many pictures, but what I have will be going up on Flickr.

Toronto!!!!!

I have to get up bright and early tomorrow because I'm off to Toronto!!!!! My flight leaves at 6:30am, so it's going to be an extremely early morning. But I can't wait!!!!!

School is Over!!!!!

My final exam was this last Wednesday. I've been playing Halo since then, and didn't have a chance to update this blog. School is officially over for me this year!!!!! My two exams were both this past week, and everything else was handed in prior to that. I've gotten one of the two papers back so far and did alright on it. The two exams went alright; the Popular Fiction exam I feel extremely confident on, the Canadian Prose one not so much. But it doesn't matter, as they're both over!!!!!

A School Update

Yesterday I was officially finished two of the three major projects that I have this term. First of all, one of my two essays was handed in. This essay was for Canadian Prose; I wrote it on both Sir Richard Burton's First Footsteps in East Africa and Margaret Laurence's The Prophet's Camel Bell. While I didn't particularly enjoy reading Burton's book (I did like Laurence's), I really enjoyed writing the essay. It was a topic that interested me, which made writing it a whole lot easier.

The second project that I officially finished yesterday was my group project in Popular Fiction. I lucked out and had only one other member of my group. Between the two of us, we had the project finished this past Tuesday. The project ended up four posters depicting key issues within the graphic novel Watchmen. It was a lot of fun to make (I had fun drawing pictures of people exploding for the Nuclear War topic. I drew three pictures using charcoal which turned out rather well).

This leaves one more essay to write, and then two exams and I am finished school for the year!

360 Back Home!

My Xbox 360 came home yesterday! Well, it isn't exactly "mine" that came home yesterday. They sent me a refurbished one. I believe that they are taking in the ones that break and sending out ones that they had already fixed. But that doesn't matter to me, as all of my saved games and downloaded content are on my hard drive, which stayed home this entire time.

Needless to say, after enabling everything on the new console, I played Halo Wars all night last night.

The Continuing Xbox 360 Saga

So my 360 was shipped off last Friday. I got an email this afternoon saying that Microsoft had received it. And then when I checked my email again this evening, I had two new messages from Microsoft: my console was fixed, and it has already been shipped back to me!!!!!!!! I can't believe they've fixed it so quickly!!!!!!
