no 4

Right. So after the horseback riding, I've basically done nothing exept study... well, occasionally i sleep a few hours, too *sigh* The term is almost over, so I have lots and lots of tests coming up, papers to write and hand in, a group presentation, 2 projects I have to do and then write a report on.. in other words, I'm quite busy. Which is funny because David, the professor in charge of our exchange program, said he would be disappointed if studying for university ad going to classes would make up more than 50% of our time - ha!! More like 85%, these past weeks!!!! The good news is, I'll be done by november 27th, and then the next term only starts in january. So I should have time to recover from all the madness.
The only thing that came up was Halloween, but since I didn't have much time (or energy) for partying, I just went to see a Stephen King movie on friday (they were showing it on campus, and it was for free)... I must say, I was scared out of my mind when I watched that movie when I was 12 years old... now I just kind of thought it was funny.. and a little scary. Still, I went with Stephan, a French exchange student, and Jette, a German exchange student - we had a nice evening, away from all the schoolwork the 3 of us have to do. And then, on wednesday, the 31st, I heard the Dalai Lama was speaking in Toronto, so I got a ticket and went there... that was very interesting, he's a very smart man - I think - and very funny, too! I was impressed.
The first thing he did was take off his shoes, and then put on that funny hat because the spotlights were blinding him :) Very funny.
And that night, I went out with James and Kaela (my roommates) and Aaron and Magali and some other people, since it was Halloween. So we actually dressed up (which, if you know me, is a big thing, because I usually do not do that), and went to the Gay Village, where they had a kind of street parade. We saw some pretty amazing costumes, and had fun (AND were home by 11:30 p.m.) :)
So. I was... i don't know, an evil monk? I wore one of Kaela's masks. James was "Dead Cedric Diggory's Reanimated Corpse" (Cedric being a character from the Harry Potter books), Kaela was the crazy/sexy clown, Aaron was Elton John, Magali was... maybe the Invisible Man from a movie, but really she just put on a mask last minute, and Julie was Amy Winehouse... we all looked the part, I think :)




Okay, I have to get back to work, I want to get some more things done for school before the day is over (it's about 4 in the afternoon, now). I'll let you know if anything out of the ordinary happens!
biiiiiig hug!!!! :)
