Another Weekend Come and Gone

Greetings,

Well it's onto a new week. Only 51 days until I am done my last exam, so I have a ways to go but it should go fairly quickly like the first part of this semester has. This weekend my mom and dad and Leia were visiting me in Victoria. I had such a good time. It seemed way to long from Christmas until now, I missed my dad's sense of humor more than I knew too. Haha. Anyhow, we didn't do a lot of touristy things because it was the official "Tourist in your own town" weekend where there are tons of discounts to all the museums and tourist places. Instead we enjoyed the natural sights. We went beach combing where my dad was so excited that a crab that we found had clamped onto his pen. It's his "crab pen" from now on I guess. We walked around the inner harbor, went shopping, went to "Joseph and the Technicolor DreamCoat" play at one of the high schools, and just relaxed. The director of the play is the piano player at my church. He is one heck of a piano player, director, singer, etc. He is awesome. The play was so good and although it was all singing we all loved it, including my dad. We also went to "Vantage Point" at the theatre. It was really good. It was a lot better than I expected and even my mom really enjoyed it. We scarfed down the popcorn before the previews even came on, but it was good times.

No new updates on my life really. School is over halfway done, thank goodness. This has definitely been my toughest semester yet. I am waiting to hear back from Bamfield to see if I will be taking a class out there in the summer. The closer it gets and the more I think about it, the more excited I get. It will be a nice change to get out and away from this classroom format and do more hands on things.

Now a little rant about the NBA. I don't watch it that much but I did hear about Shaq getting traded to the Phoenix Suns. So I decided to watch a game last Sunday. The Suns lost by more than 30 points. Steve Nash didn't look like himself and I think that it's do to his lack of teammates able to catch his passes. I saw him do a behind the back no look pass and Shaq couldn't even catch it. He isn't agile enough to bend down and save a bad or low pass. He looks like a post and that is what he is. He is the last one to get down the floor and he hasn't seemed to make even a slight impact with the team. The Suns game plan was once to run and gun well they can kiss that away. I don't care that it has only been 3 games since he was traded, Shaq does not fit that team well. I guess I will have to stay tuned to it and see what becomes of this change. I don't have high hopes. It almost makes me not want to cheer for them anymore. I have never been a fan of Shaq and never will. I know that he is so tall and has to shoot down at the basket, but any man who shoots a basketball like that shouldn't be in the NBA. I don't care who you are.

That was sort of negative but those are just the thoughts that I have had about the whole thing. I miss the NFL too, my Sundays are so boring without it. Anyways I am hoping to get more creative with this thing so that it will be more entertaining to read. Later days!!!
