We are trying to take an impromptu trip to Banff today to show some sites to my cousin visiting from Halifax. We were planning on leaving by 9 am. It's now 11 am. One possibility was going to tour the Columbia Icefields who to my surprise have accessible "glacier coaches." In my hiking days I would have rolled my eye at people who pay to ride a bus to a glacier. But I guess things change. We need to leave in the next 30 minutes if we are to make it the glacier tour launching spot in time. I suspect we won't make it and will end up somewhere else in Banff. My mom suggested a boat tour but I am not so comfortable with that. Something about the boat sinking and me going down with it...unlikely but enough that I have vetoed her suggestion. She is disappointed but I am not budging. One thing for sure, we will end up in one of the 5 candy shops on mainstreet Banff :)

I drank plain black coffee for the first time yesterday and to my great surprise I didn't hate it. It's usually a case that I have a tiny bit of coffee with a cup of cream and 12 teaspoons of sugar. And then I wonder why I feel sick after I drink "coffee." Anyways my new plan is to just drink my coffee black from now on. My brother has bet me $10 that I will not last 5 days.

School is going good. Other than the logistical nightmare of getting me out the door on time and finding someone who can come with me. But we are working on that and so far I haven't missed any of my classes. I am loving it. I have gone ahead and registered for another art history course for September already.

Wow I didn't realize it had been a week since I was last on here. I have been very busy with my class and a few other things (like finishing the crack laced Twilight books) that I have neglected my blog.

I haven't moved the blog yet. Haven't even looked into it yet actually. But I did figure out the blog thing for Twitter....which I momentarily linked to here but removed when it was causing sign in issues for a few people. So here is my experiment on there with a post today.

I am moving this blog to word press soon. And I am going to post some art pictures because I am loving my class. I hope everybody is doing okay :)
