Little life update

*Just finished my last exam of the three summer courses I took. So glad.
*Took the Québec students back to Montréal by train on Saturday and then hung out there with some other YMCA staff until Tuesday morning.
*Spent an exorbitant amount on a meal at La Queue de Cheval restaurant!
*Stayed in a hostel two nights and then upgraded thanks to Hotwire to the Delta Centre-Ville!
*Had la meilleure massage ever! Another splurge, but so worth it!
*Finally found that wine I looked for last time!! Au marché Jean-Talon! Now need an occasion for it...
*Experienced a fantastic brunch place, thanks to local friend, Val!
*Checked out the wild hippy Sunday Tam-Tam thing in Mont-Royal Park and realized that I am so not a hippy. Who was I fooling in high school?
*Was reminded again that my French conversation skills are considerably lacking. Continuing to consider immersion experience...
*Decided this week to NOT buy out my Civic when the lease ends in two weeks! Even though I kept the mileage real low and kept it all in good shape, the HST makes the buy out ridiculous and too much effort to re-sell to make a few hundred dollars, if I even could! And now that I am a student, I probably really should get a much cheaper kinda car. Gonna check out one tomorrow. The search begins.
*Found out recently that I'm gonna be an auntie again!!
*Been really wanting a dog lately. Resist. Resist.
*Been watching an insane amount of television on dvd. Firefly, Smallville, Alias, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (I always had a thing for Dean Cain as Superman in the 90s) And many of these I bought!
*Also have got into True Blood, thanks to someone's recommendation.
*Our community garden is exploding! Very cool to see.
*I found out last night that I won a draw I entered at the local market for $15 worth of food! I never win things like that!!
*Summer job finishes officially tomorrow! Three weeks ahead with few commitments.
*The humidity has kept me from biking as much as I thought I would this summer. Now I have to push myself.
*I've had cravings for ice cream almost every night this summer!
*The Cold Stone that is inside Tim Hortons in Kitchener, was a big disappointment. I went the other night and the guy really didn't know what he was doing; he didn't know he had a serious reputation to uphold!

That's all I got!
