Optimistic radio station...
"This looks like a great weekend for a movie- nothing but rain all weekend!"
This is what I call overly enthusiastic optimism.
AKA, trying too hard.
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!

Also, people hold open doors here. Not just if you're walking through right behind them. People actually kind of linger and hold the door open until you get there.
Fascinating stuff...

Captain's Log, stardate 64224.2
Captain's Log, stardate 64224.2
For future reference, the stardate is calculated correctly, as trekguide.com was referenced.
Observations were of a peculiar nature today, and are as follows:
-Raccoons are often seen in the daytime; this is not typical of other locations, but this has happened with some frequency at the current location.
-While en route to check postal correspondance, came across an art gallery; there were a variety of pieces displayed, including Van Gough's Starry Night. Did not purchase one, but am considering finding a Da Vinci poster at another location, i.e. online.
-There appears to be an elevator-like instalment outside one of the Buchannan buildings.
The following should also be noted:
-Have begun texting a friend in French to improve xenolinguistics
-Have commenced studying Russian, although reading vocabulary is currently at 1 word.
-The weather is fairly cold; the weather report is not to be trusted.
For the record, it should be noted that no other officers have been added to the crew currently; applications are still being accepted. Said applications should include name, and any applicable skills.
To be continued at a following stardate.

Dear,
Dear Canadian phone company,
Why don't I deserve to be given caller ID? Thanks for the confidence in my psychic powers, but this is ridiculous.
Sincerely, who just called me?
Dear Tim Horton's,
There's thing we have in the states. It's called capitalism. Basically, to make a profit, you have to be open. Which means your 4:30 closing time has got to go.
Sincerely, and you were doing so well against Starbucks, too...
Dear library circulation desk,
It's 6 o'clock on a Friday. I'm trying to study. I need to check out a book. What, are you trying to tell me to give up and go party? I'm going to study, no thanks to you.
Sincerely, what good do eight million books do me if I can't check them out?
Dear weather,
Hey, heads up, it's not even winter yet. Lay off with the cold. And that whole deal with freezing wind with sunshine? We call that mean.
Sincerely, I don't know whether I need a jacket or sunscreen
Dear caf at residences,
Class starts at six and ends at nine. Closing at 7:30 on a weekday leaves me starving. And you wonder why Whitespot and Pointe Grill do so well?
Sincerely, no one eats before seven
Dear people with 8AM classes,
So you're the ones who take all the chocolate croissants at the caf before I wake up. Way to share.
Sincerely, guess I can't complain when I wake up at 9 every day
Dear gym,
No one goes at 6:30 in the morning. So what if you're open that early? All it does is make us all feel bad about not going.
Sincerely, maybe I'll wake up early tomorrow
Dear econ TA,
Please, please, please don't change the prices in the problem halfway through without telling us. We have no idea why the cost suddenly went from $200 to $350. While you're at it, why not try finishing the problem, too?
Sincerely, this is why you lost half the class
Dear Canadian friends,
YES, actually, it IS very, very COLD today!
Sincerely, I might get cold easily but at least I TAN in the sun!

By the way...
Calculus is starting to look a lot like A Thousand And One Nights. Instead of a story within a story within a story, there's a derivativee within a derivative of a function. I like the stories better.
I've decided I would like to speak Russian one day. As well as French and German and Italian. I'm already... let's see... a fourth and a bit of the way there!
Tim Horton's is so much better than Starbucks. How is it that the USA can function without these stores? They have an adorably tiny drink size! And it's so good! And also, get this- a small iced capp was less than $3. And it tastes way better, too. Eat that, Starbucks.
My trend of laptop naming is catching on. I forced my friend to name his laptop, and my friend wants to name hers. Seriously, it makes the computer work better.
I went to Art History class yesterday. Econ had ended, and we wanted to get more work done, so we just stayed and worked during the lecture. Half of it was interesting. The other half was boring.
There's ice skating tonight!
