Finished Mom's Cancer, I'll talk about it tomorrow. All I have to say, is fantastic book. Definately merited the Einser Award.

Called my mom's friends yesterday--Pat (there's two. one here, one in Montréal. Mind, before we moved both lived in Montréal. ha.), Jennifer and my godmum and my godfather too. Told them the news and many of them await my visit and/or return to Montréal. Found out Jennifer is not only an English Secondary teacher but an IB English teacher. (...hm.) and if I live with my Godmum, I'd need a car. Turns out she's further out than I thought. Aie. (I mean, St Lazare is far/close to Hudson, but you'd have to drive to Hudson to catch the commuter train...see map. Hudson is on the Dorion-Rigaud line which goes out to Rigaud, Qc...near the Ontario boarder) However, she's going to call a friend of hers whose daughter is coming out here for her Law degree to see if I can stay with her or if she has other people to recommend. Other than that much talk involving "Omygoodness, I can't believe it's that time for you already!" and how proud mum would be and such and how it would be nice for me to visit. And judging from what my godmum told me, mum was a much greater writer than I initially thought.

Oh and I had an interesting conversation with my godmum (who surprise! Is also a Secondary-level English teacher *laughs*) about Alberta's Immersion programme as she was curious about my practising my French still and such. She had a good laugh about how there's only one French bookstore in Calgary and explained that if I decided to go back to Montreal, I'd be in for a shock with the spoken French and that I'd have to re-adjust and such.

Also, my godfather Uncle 'Kingston' (totally not his name as Kingston was what I thought his name was. But after 15 yrs he's used to it) wins. :D

Since I was in a bleh and moody all weekend, I neglected my homework and just remembered after listening to the Flames game that hey, I have 30 definitions to do for Social tomorrow. So, if I finish 20 or 25 tonight (I have 3 done), I can do the remaining 5 during spare. Procrastination...I hate it alot. And I'm at a 65% in Math...and that's because the Unit test was weighted 12 instead of the usual 6. Should talk to Poirier about where my mark is in Social because I bet it's autrocious right now too. And I must talk to Ms Espevidt(?) tomorrow about CALM online.

And my dad's at it again.

He's trying to influence where I go now. He's been pushing for Ottawa (well, because my auntie's there.) and saying for me to send in my reply now and suchnot and told me to tell friends that I was calling yesterday in Montreal that I was going to Ottawa and not Concordia. He's justified, yes. I mean, Ottawa has my aunt, who has a house, who worked at the UofO for 20-30 years and my cousins in Hull visit often but the whole "Tell them you're going to Ottawa" has gotten old and terribly annoying. Plus, I think he's maybe jinxed any possibility of my going to Ottawa by continually saying "You're going to Ottawa". I usually don't make decisions when I'm being forced to choose one without having thought of which to choose beforehand and if I'm being told to choose B over A I look at A more than B usually.

In interesting news, I installed the new ADSL....It's insanely fast! (50+KB/sec to about 100KB/sec or more sometimes. Compared to 10KB/sec to 20KB/sec with Cable) But we need a new wireless router. Eh. I'll use the cable for the wireless until we cancel it.
