I've moved to Vancouver so I thought I'd post some photos of my new apartment. No more sharing now that I'm no longer a student. YEAH!!!!
My living room. no couch yet and i need a coffee table or something.
Annoyingly, my place is looking all Ikea right now.

My roommate Ebony found out this past week that she got into the master's program at Mcgill that she wanted in Developing Nations in Political Science. It's a 1 in 125 chance as they only accept 4 people a year and get about 500 applicants.
We went out for drinks on Friday to celebrate.
The next night, we went to a Basque dinner festival. One of Ebony's English students is the president of the young peoples Basque Association of Montreal. It was a dinner event and the food sounded really good. I figured since I missed the Swiss Christmas club party last year I could do with a little dinner celebration and singing. We knew none of the songs and the singing was dominated by really loud singing of what we dubbed the "Basque JT" a little stubby guy who was constantly singing. The food ended up being really mediocre but the company was great. We sat at the hot table! It was mostly french basque boys. We had a great time as girls were a minority there!

...but i got some neat photos out of it.
We had a class field trip to a building downtown to learn about indoor air quality. I was tired and had a headache that day and it just went on and on...
the highlight of the field trip was getting to go to the roof top (34 floors up) and taking pictures of McGill campus and downtown.

My ergonomics group project is to assess the postures and loads of the cow milkers at McDonald farm (McGill's other campus has an agriculture program) for risk of musculoskeletal injuries. We had a lot of fun talking to the milkers and taking photos and videos. We also stunk like manure after spending 3 hours there and I had to take the metro home after. NOT COOL!

Last weekend I went to Ottawa to attend my friend's annual murdery mystery party. This is the 4th one he's done in a row. I helped with the very first one four years ago. It's a lot of work.
The theme of this year's Murder Mystery was cartoons and the setting was Biannual International Gathering of the Animated Singers, Scriptwriters & Entertainers Society
I got to Heather's house in the afternoon on Saturday and we dyed fabric (our skits and sailor collars), and cut and sewed our costumes until it was time to go to the party! It was so much work. Now I have a sweet Halloween costume. I was Sailor Mars and Heather was Sailor Moon. I had asked for an easy costume and that's what I got! Not so easy I tell ya.
At the end of the night, Shaggy and Princess Fiona solved the case. It was Peter Griffin that killed Mickey Mouse!
Betty Boop, Sailor Moon (my friend Heather), and Inspector Gadget (my friend Colin) won for best costumes and character acting!
Everyone went above and beyond and the costumes were better than ever this year!
Dora the explorer and Chief Wiggam
