So a much longer post needs to follow this one concerning my weekend but today was just a day filled with little highlights:
1. When I was walking to school, I was stopped at a light and all of a sudden cars started honking because one car was stuck in the intersection. They continued to keep honking however even after the car had moved. I then realized about three cars were just having fun with each other and honking a rhythm out between their cars.
2. Thanksgiving Signs. Interestingly, the Hot Beverage Society at school is having a Thanksgiving celebration with pumpkin cider, hot chocolate, Charlie Brown and "festive arts and crafts." I'm not quite sure what festive arts and crafts entails but I enjoy the effort. I'm also not sure what the Irish are being thankful for but just like we celebrate St. Patrick's Day, I guess they can celebrate Thanksgiving.
3. I was wearing sweatpants and a hoodie and was told "that my tracksuit was simply grand." I'm seriously going to miss the Irish and their descriptive adjectives.
4. The city turned on it's Christmas lights. Even the school has a Christmas tree with lights on at the student center.
5. There are sales on Christmas chocolate at the local convenience store.
6. Harry Potter comments on the female bathroom stalls. I'm not sure who is taking the time to write comments about the new Harry Potter movie while in the female bathrooms but there is an entire conversation thread that goes: "Harry Potter comes out today!" --> "Yay" --> "Voldy is mouldy" --> "Dumbledore is hot" (seriously??) and --> "Dumbledore is dead."
That is pretty funny about the cars just honking out a tune. Don't think it would happen here!

And we saw the Harry Potter movie already but I guessed I missed the memo about writing on the bathroom walls! Good movie, a big brooding but kept up the suspense, and I think a little more intense in the IMAX!
ReplyDeleteI can just picture that "tracksuit" but somewhere I never quite came up with "simply grand" before! I can see where you'll miss the adjectives. I'll try to work on that before you come home :-)
Did you go to the Thanksgiving celebration?? I'm extremely jealous of the arts and crafts!
ReplyDeleteI didn't actually go to the Thanksgiving celebration. We made Thanksgiving at our apartment and then watched the Saints play the Cowboys at a bar on campus.
