Matters on a. Mandar's Heart

I don't know where to start. I need to update more frequently.

2 midterms before reading week. 2 more after reading week. 3 group assignments/presentations. 50 lab reports to mark. 1 mainland girl.

I had another traditional Lover's Day. A great night spent with the Carter Boys + Korean food. You guys are awesome. Then followed by some poker action at Ray's...although i didn't play.

I was privledged enough to be invited to a cottage getaway this weekend. I forgot to tug in my head while playing in the snow, that has resulted in a sore neck but it was well worth it. Nothing beats "british bulldog" and football in a huge snow bank that is higher than my hips. Trying to watch Broke Back Mountain was something else. And playing hockey was also a first- or should i say skating while holding a hockey stick. It was nice to spend time with friends, without worries of reality. It was an added bonus that the weekend was spent with the 'older' people.

I found out my dad almost died on saturday might. They had to call 911. Quite the reality check.

1 more day to study before the highly anticipted road trip to visit our drug dealing friends =))) eeeeee....CAN'T WAIT!

Ouch

I Fell hard. But at least the lesson was worth learning =)

On a lighter note, when i was TAing on monday, one of the students asked how my TA experience was going. I said that i found the monday class more challenging because it's the first class of the week and sometimes things get messed up and the unexpected may occur so I always have to be on my toes. I asked to feel free to email me suggestions about my facilitating. And she said that everyone really appreciates my help. How usually TA's are just there for the sake of getting through the stuff but she was able to tell that I really cared about them and want them to do well. That conversation made my day =)
