Here's a post for March...
I am quite exhausted.
There's been so much schoolwork lately that I've been racing to get done. I feel like a used SOS pad. Or maybe just a damp washcloth. Either way, I'm feeling like Bilbo...
"I'm wanting to see mountains again, mountains Gandalf!
And then find somewhere quiet where I can finish my book."
I'm not sure if that's only from the movie or the movie and the book, but it's a great quote that I've often thought of while I'm in the lonely flatlands that are the praries of Canada (that's a much nicer way of saying - I don't like it here, don't like Calgary, I want to move on!).
Yes, I want to see mountains again and I would like a place to finish my book... or books.
It doesn't have to be somewhere quiet though. I miss family...
...and family is NOT quiet.
I guess it has more to do with the fact that I'm ready to move on. It's soo close to graduation (or at least it feels like it should be).
BUT there's a lot of work ahead. When will it end? This is a testing time. The kind of period where my trust in God is challenged. I hope I can get through this without going too crazy.
Speaking of crazy, I did that "What is English" presentation last thursday. It was a good experience to get that done. Well, I gotta go get coffee. It's going to be a long night.
I'll prepare something a little more in depth concerning my presentation later.

It's been a few months but last time I was in Calgary there were mountains there. Where did they go?
Well, I guess you can see mountains while you're in Calgary, but you're pretty much looking towards Banff.
I guess after growing up in Chilliwack, where the mountains would be a 10-15 minute drive away (depends which mountains though, some would be five minutes), I don't think that mountains that are an hour or so away are actually 'in' Calgary.
I guess it just comes down to the fact that I'd rather be closer to mountains (although I really like the view of the Rockies from Bearspaw - just on the outskirts of the western part of Calgary) and that part of me is that typical guy from BC who just likes his home province better (seriously though, it's mostly being away from family that makes us want to go back). Well, there's my little rant. Maybe I should have made this a post. oops
Okay, I just noticed I said 'I guess' quite a bit there.
Well, "I guess" it's just that I have some sympathetic attachment to the Canadian praries. I really do. :)
I seriously need to edit myself before replying - it's "prairies"
not PRARies
