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...
