I got up fairly early in order to bring the car in for an inspection. It sounds like the Petro-Canada has to order new tires, but if I let them do that, they won't charge me for labor, which I like. I haven't used to the car too much over this last two years because the bus system here generally makes things easier rather than...

Tara reminded me today that we only have about two weeks until we leave. There's nothing especially left undone that can't be done between now and then. We're right on track, but I didn't realize how close it was.

In other news, Ed gave us his old Gamestation, so I guess our slack goes up by 5. I downloaded and burned Castlevania: Symphony of the...

All of my grades are finally in, and I did well in my Nietzsche seminar. Now, I just have to wait for my diploma as far as UBC is concerned.

Tara is making me cupcakes for my birthday. I look forward to them because her cupcakes rox0r. Tomorrow, we'll go to a Thai place in Gastown for dinner, and we'll likely head out to New...

Not much has been going on for the last few days. We finished getting the apartment clean, and someone from the moving company will do a walk-through tomorrow to give us a more accurate estimate of our stuff. The preliminary estimate wasn't too high, and I'm hoping it doesn't climb too much.

In other news, my Viking group got approved, so anyone interested in Vikings...

Well, 4/20 has come and gone. I got a good bit of rest and ending up going to sleep kinda early, likely because I just needed some rest. I slept very soundly, and now feel pretty good. I got an estimate for our moving expenses and it wasn't as high as I was afraid it would be, so that's good. I'm looking forward to the...

I feel very thankful to say that today I finished all of my official duties at UBC. I turned in my keys and everything. I would have preferred to skip invigilating an 8:30-11:00 am exam, but I got through it ok (due in no small part to coffee and a big cinnamon bun), and since I don't have to grade those exams, I have nothing...

I finished the main part of my last term paper today. I still have to go through, polish it up, and create the bibliography page, but that won't take too long. I finished well ahead of schedule, too so I'll have a few extra days off. On Monday, I have to drop off the papers that I should finish grading tomorrow, and on Wodan's Day...

Tonight, I finished one of my term papers. It came out longer than I was expecting, which was good. I think it's ok, but not my best work. The only paper left is the one for my Nietzsche seminar, and that one shouldn't take too long to write. I have to get everything done before the 21st because of graduation, but that shouldn't be too...

I got funding from Tulane, so we're going to be heading down South once everything is settled up here. I'm pretty happy. It'll be nice to take home 12 grand per year just to take classes.
