It's felt like spring these past few days. There's been a fair amount of rain and gray days, but the snow is gone. So is Troy, Shannon's oldest brother. Sunday evening we sent him on his way to the UK for about a year. The beauty of having a dual citizenship I suppose. But it was a good weekend and a chance to relax before the beginning of finals. They are fast approaching. My adventure here in the True North is about to come to a close. I'm not ready for it, so I plan to savour my last few weeks.
Friday I went out with Shannon, Troy and two girls from my program, Tess and Marilia to see this band Sebadoh at Lee's Palace, a dingy club/bar where you see smaller bands play. Flogging Molly was going to play there, but sold so many tickets they had to up to a bigger venue. I'd never heard them before, but some of their songs were definitely good and I would listen to them again. I'm not sure how I felt about the state of my knees and sweating profusely. We finished the night out at a Mexican bar. It was a dive and the beer was awful--but the nachos were good.
Saturday was a sleep in day, with great Thai food at Spring Rolls for dinner. And then we went to see the movie Reign Over Me. I think I laughed when I shouldn't have, but some of it was extremely funny. I thought Adam Sandler was great though and sometimes he just can't help but be funny. It was very good though on another level than just comedy. Troy said it was the funniest movie Adam Sandler has ever done. Tough to call since he also did great movies like Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison. The evening of course ended with Hemingways and some long island iced teas.
Sunday started late--I really love sleeping in. But basically ended with a trip to the airport and a sad goodbye. Three months has gone time too fast. It hit me that soon Shannon will be leaving and I will too. I started to get very nervous in the airport and I'm not even leaving yet! It's going to take a lot of work before I'm able to step on a plane, but I'm going to have to, sooner or later.
It's back to the school week and a lot to do before Kat comes to visit this weekend. I'm extremely excited, but swamped with work at the moment. But, it's a relief to have the class part of the semester almost over with. Now there will be time to explore the city in springtime. I look forward to leaves again.
