Updates

I'm sorry there is no update,

It has snowed for the second time I have been here, and dead set, it's just too much for me to know what to do...

I just walked home and there is ice over everything... (I have never considered that before...)
It's undescribable!

Return of the Cold, Part 1

For the last week or so, the weather around waterloo could almost be described as pleasant... I never imagined before coming here that I would describe 7-9oC as pleasant.... But now that the weather has returned to it's chilli old self looking at a -1oC on the thermometer and scraping ice of the lids of wheelie bins before opening them, I can finally realise that I am adjusting to the bitterly cold temperatures that Canada has to offer...

Yesterday I decided to go out in just a fleece jumper, (my god that was a mistake!) it was ok when i went into uni, but coming home the temp had dropped to a low 0oC and that was freezing riding home... Particulary since the jumper is not my any means wind proof!

So anyway, in a link to my blog it was suggested that you should never ask Australians about the weather here, since they will always complain bitterly about the cold, so I feel that I at least need to do my duty and keep everyone informed on the craziness of Canadians living here in Canada... Better them here though than in Australia.

My house seems to have this amazing ability to hold smells, and since my roommate seems to enjoy making smelly foods, whether on purpose or not, (last night he burnt popcorn) since it's cold here (had to mention it again) the houses don't really get aired out as they may at home and as a result, the smell sticks around like a bad smell.... (Bad analogy)

What else.... I think I have been at uni everyday for the last 2-3 weeks, that includes weekends! woohoo!

I still haven't gotten ralf's birthday party invite, perhaps he didn't really invite me... (Will have to chase him up!)

Scrubs Season 4 has begun here in Canada, I have gotta say that it comes close to being one of my favourite television series! And with the purchase of a TV for our house it's not even a trip anywhere to watch it! (Tuesdays 9:30pm on CTV (ch12))

Anyway thats it for now, maybe some photos in the next post... can't be sure...

HL2 - Apparently it can have someones babies...

Well First of all, I got my hands on Half Life 2!
Thats a pretty darn impressive game I do got to say! It hasn't done much for my study routine, (I'm having to limit myself to an hour or two a day... HL2 that is...)

Unfortunetly like many others, I had a had quite an unfun time trying to get it. I wanted to buy it off Steam, but for some reason it didnt like my Credit Card, and as a result, after trying across a couple of days (planning on preloading) and so on I gave up the day after it was released and just bought it from a local computer store... The let down is that I don't get HL:Source... which has to be the most disappointing part...

Anyway, after being chased by helicopters in an air boat, and dodging countless head crabbed zombies I can safely say that the game rocks...

For now, I have to return to studies, until next time!

Blogalicious

Well, I know that I have been slack on the update side of things, but like I said on my Tag Board, Uni has been a world of pain lately, Last week I had: a MUSH due (big text based adventure game style of thing (6-8k lines) then I had a Programming Algorithms thing on Wed, then I had Operating Systems on Friday, then over the weekend I had part two of a Specifications document, and another smaller Programming assignment due on Monday, and coming up on Wednesday I have another rotten written algortithms one, and then it's start building up again towards major assignments in all four subjects ending by about Dec 6. Then it gets heavy again as I begin to prepare for my Final Exams,

So Unlike you lads and ladets (female version) at home finishing up at uni, it's just getting hot here (not really in the temperature sense, although we had a high of 9oC which could almost be considered pleasant! ) And it's a chance for you guys to think back at when you guys all started and I was waiting around to leave... So all in all, It evens out... but until then I have to be content with my 2 week break over Xmas - starting back on the 4th of December!

Until Next time!

I told you is freakin cold!

How is an Queenslander supposed to deal with this? I mean the puddles left by the snow have now frozen solid! You can literally skate on them if you wanted... Is that freaky or what!

This whole thing is a bamboozling experience! I mean why use a fridge at all?

SNOW SNOW SNOW SNOW SNOW SNOW

Well fortunately for me, it got more exciting today, it snowed a fair bit, (OK not much at all, but it was exciting nonetheless). Here I am outside my unit taking it all in. I even made my first snowball... Snow is so light, it melts the moment it touches you, but it is kinda cool. (no pun intended)

See updated picture list here.

If only I could enjoy this and not have to be studying!

SNOW....

Well it snowed this morning, only a small bit, but I can officially say that there was snow in waterloo!

That is all...

Ahh Canada...

Here in Canada, I enjoy attending my lectures... (/sarcasm)

Well one of my lecturers here is deaf. Now personally I have nothing against deaf people, and I mean this guy trys REALLY hard to be a great guy, which he is. However being lectured by him would have to be one of the strangest things to have happened to me whilst I have been here in Canada. So that you can all experience him, I have gone to the trouble of recording a minute or so of his voice. Now this is the same lecturer who turned up to his first lecture wearing the shortest denim shorts ever... (I didn't think they came that short) and proceeded to dance around the class. So nothing against his deafness, but this guy is a "nutter". But a nice one of course...

He has many theories to his name too including why they serve turkey's on thanksgiving, to find out more, visit his website. There is even a "LARGE" photo of him there if you want to see it...


For more fun, listen to this song: Canada, Land of Dirt...


In other news, it reached a chilling -1oC the night before last, (no chance to photograph it, the camera wasn't handy... But expect one soon, according to the weather network, it will be snowing within a week or so.

I have also finally finished all of my mid semester exams, in comparison to my Australian friends who are just getting into SWOTVAC and final exams. Good Luck everyone! I hope you think of me during my long 2 week christmas break.

What me Wash?

Who said boys don't know how to so the washing???

Update to Fall in Ontario

Well it would appear that Fall is almost over here in Ontario, with most trees having lost all of their leaves. I have added to my collection of out my window shots, see them all: HERE
