this one is for Jason "the body" Bandura

it's true.

I am still alive.

I saw Jason Bandura the other day and he told me he checked out my blog and he thought that it was pretty out-dated. If I have people like Jason B checking out my blog, I guess I better start writing. So this one is for "the body."

Regina was great. I love going back to that place. The people there are very close to my heart and I always leave there thinking "why don't I just live in Regina?"

Nic has mentioned it already, but I did get to see everyone there a lot more when I lived in Oman. Ironic really. I wish I could be alot closer. I always feel like I'm missing out on the fellowship and fun that everyone seems to have. I think that more roadtrips are in order.

I got to play hockey for the first time since last christmas. The first game was a little shaky, and my legs didn't work after the first 10 min. It also didn't help that Nic lent me his midget stick and I had to get on my knees to even use the thing. That being said, I didn't think I performed to badly.

It was good to get out there in the cold air and have some classic Canadian fun. People only care about football and bball down here. For example, I turned on ESPN this morning to catch the highlights of Ducks vs. Oilers, and they showed one stinkin' goal from the whole game, and it was the OT goal. THAT'S IT? ONE FREAKIN GOAL FROM A WHOLE GAME?

As you can tell, I was a little riled (?) up.

Oh well. Less than three weeks now till Clair and I are back in the mother land. Can't wait.

harder than I thought.

I really thought that once I got to school I would be in a more blogging mood. But I guess I was wrong. It's hard to be motivated to type anything after 4 hours of calculus, mechanics and physics homework. Alas, here I am on a Saturday morning and nothing to do.

I find it hard on weekends, just because I love getting up to the family hanging out downstairs or outside. Its different in the dorms, because if there is no one in the room, then it feels like there is no one on campus. But if you give it to about 2 in the afternoon, life starts to appear.

The big news this week is that Clair and I finally got cell phones! We are officially cool and connected. Except its sad to see all that money leave my wallet. We were charged 300 deposit on the phones because we don't have any credit down here, and we get it back after 6 months of paying our bills. Keep your fingers crossed.

Its funny how cheap the cell phone plans are down here. For two phones, with 550 minutes shared, 300 text messages each a month, free minutes between all sprint customers and free minutes on nights and weekends, it only cost us 60 a month, plus tax. What a deal!

In other news, I have started playing JV golf, and they are making it really serious this year. We have 4 practices a week, and 5 tournaments booked. At the practices they are coaching us and giving us drills to work on, so there is mucho improvemento so faro. Im loving it a lot, and seeing my golf game shape up feels so good.

Well, this afternoon will be spent doing some more homework, but then we can relax tomorrow. Miss you guys back home.

go riders go. oh go go riders go go.
