I was going to update this weekend about how great things are going here in Hamilton - which is completely true. My tutorial group gets along really well, in fact other tutorial groups make fun of us for being so co-dependent. I'm doing better than average in my class on all kinds of examination/evaluation type things. The people in my program are very cool and I enjoy spending time with them. My birthday was awesome - going to Toronto with Foreman and Rivera (my friend from tutorial and Foreman's Spanish-Phillipino cousin - it's a long story but they are frightening together). We took the "GO train" which was a bus to Toronto and then went for lunch at Elephant and Castle, walked around, Keith got my flexi-pass tickets to Theatre Passe, we spent hours in Indigo Books (aaahhh!!!) and bought a shwackload of books. And then we all went for dinner with the illustrious Yames, the Wise Hairstylist. Foreman still hasn't found a job yet but he hasn't really been looking that hard until he finds out about the teaching thing which is another 1-3 weeks (f**** bureaucracy) but I'm kind of glad he hasn't because after this Unit things are supposed to get "really busy" for me so this way we get to spend a bit of time together at the beginning of our marriage - y'know which is nice. Foreman is playing soccer though so that's been good and it seems like he's not too bored yet, hopefully we'll hear about the teaching thing soon.
Other than that things are still good, we got a new laptop after the thieves stole our old one (well, I guess I can't technically call them thieves when my husband left the door unlocked) but we learned from that and we're ok. I love what I'm learning in school. Med Students Go To Camp was fun and I got to see the AKB last weekend which was good. I was all good this weekend too until WAM! I suddenly got a ferocious bout of homesickness that knocked me to the floor. I don't know what triggered it. I don't think anything triggered it really. But yesterday I just layed on the couch pretty much all day which is very unlike me and did not go to the Med Halloween party last night even though Rivera, Foreman and I had all picked out costumes. I just couldn't bring myself to go - especially when I knew there was a party at IHOP. I just wanted to be at home with my friends that knew me and loved me and even though people here are great - they are not them. (great I'm crying now :P) So yeah we were going to go to church this morning too but I don't think I'm up for that either. Sometimes sadness just knocks you out and normally I'm too busy and keeping it at bay but sometimes you just miss your friends, y'know?
