Victoria Day


Hello, I've been back from Corvallis for about a week now. Toronto is getting warmer.



Since I dyed my hair from bleached blonde to jet black it started turning dark green in patches. It was really bugging me so I dyed it dark again on Friday. I used a dark brown instead of black and it covered up the ugly parts nicely. I managed to not wreck the bathroom or my hair but I now have dye marks all over my arms.



I have class Tuesdays and Thursdays now from 10-2, a three hour lecture followed by a one hour tutorial. I like the long lectures because I can settle in and concentrate and not have to think about anything else, but I don't like the tutorials because my TA kind of sucks. But at least she has a cool British accent. My professor is cool in a weird sort of way, he seems a bit run down but still very positive.



These pictures are from the fair forever ago, I just never posted them. I just scanned in like six new rolls of film and I have a lot that I want to put up, so I'll probably be doing a lot of little posts. But I like these pictures.



Today is Victoria Day here in Canada. Last night there were fireworks being set off in Queen's Park and I had a good view of them out my window. Basically Victoria Day is a joint birthday party for Queen Victoria and the current queen, but according to Wikipedia it also informally marks the beginning of Canada's summer season. Happy Victoria Day!

I'm tired of the old shit, let the new shit begin


Oh, hello. These pictures were taken in Ithaca, at Cornell.
I moved to a new place and the school term is over. The past week has been a blur of cleaning, unpacking, organizing, allergic reactions, generally getting shit together, and much, much more cleaning.



As promised I have been baking and cooking my ass off and a few things have actually come out pretty well. I am pleased. On the 8th I'm going back to Corvallis. This is a mini post because I'm tired so I'm going to bed but I wanted to post so this is a mini post.
