Good Mortereve everyone! I hope everyone has been having a very lovely week so far!
I have been having a good one so far, I guess....
Yesterday was really busy, we went to Canada's capital city and had quite a bit of fun. We toured the Parliament buildings, the War Museum, the Museum of Civilization, rode the bus around to get from place to place, and ended the evening back on Parliament Hill to watch the first night of the annual gathering of military bands from the Canadian, American, and even British (I think) Armies. It was really really fun!
I purchased some really neat things by which I'll remember the day.
Including an action figure-like toy of Canada's first Prime Minister. What can I say? It was irresistible!
And a new Town Square...hurray!
Well, a new Town Square
thread, I should say.

We have a reunion with them once every 3 years, and they are a lot of fun to be around.
All of my other extended family (at least 99% probably!) lives in the same state as I do, and we see them a few times a year.
So do you work at a restaurant then? Cooking? Or is it a different place? Sorry I forgot.
Sounds like fun indeed!
That's okay!
Don't feel bad about it!
Yes, my main job is working in the kitchen at a local restaurant. I haven't quite gotten to cook yet (but I think that's a good thing!), although I'm the cook's assistant so I get to make salads, pizza, pies, butter tart squares, muffins, and I do a lot of other food preparation. It's fun.

Amen! It can be hard at times, but it's a truly wonderful thing!

*points to the top of her post as to how she's been* Summer does go by much too quickly.
I quite agree!
It sounds like that 2,000 page nursing textbook will be a fun one.
It must be awfully thick though.... Did you get your uniform/scrubs in?
*reads more* Ah, I see you did.
They sound lovely!

Any time!
How are things going for you?
Valia wrote:Yes, Fanny, our defensive campaign of headquarters (er, home) was successful. We kept up our defenses vigilantly and our one intruder was quickly dispatched (A scorpion. We managed to safely get him out without any casualties to our troops, though).
Seriously, yes, it went well.
And that is a fun coincidence!
Yes, it was.
Mmhmm---though, I don't think anything all that exciting has happened around here since I was born.
Ah, I see.
I'm sure there's something of interest about logging, though.
I am most glad to hear it, General Valia! *salutes* A scorpion sounds like a most dangerous and intrepid intruder indeed! I commend you on your valiant and successful defensive campaign! (Do you want a medal with that?
)
Hmmm, yes. You are probably right. I seem to remember touring an old logging boat at one point, that was pretty fun. I forget what it was for, but it was like a small-ish fishing boat with a motor. Or something. Obviously I did not pay much attention.

Winterstar! *hugs back* How are you?
Cor wrote:@ Fanny. Thank you, thank you.... *bows* Look above at the list I gave Valia for the classes I'll be taking.
I was hoping to do most of my work via online courses, but everyone kept advising me to start with on campus classes, so that's what I'm doing. Orientation will be online, though.
Yes, as long as you can enjoy them from the comfort of your home. Being out in one? not so enjoyable.
Yes, especially in the Southern US.
Nice list of classes!
History sounds like fun.
Do you think you'll be doing any online courses later on?
Ah, yes. Very true. Being out in a thunderstorm is always a...different experience. My Dad and I drove home in a huge thunderstorm the other day,
that wasn't fun. So yes, I can agree with you there.

Nothing is better than to hear you are growing in the Lord.
I'm very excellent, despite a bad day here and there. I feel like God is starting to show me what he wants me to do with my life...ah, it's such a wonderful feeling. It's been something I have really been struggling with this year, asking myself "Does God really have a plan for me?" And now, after much praying, He has given me the peace to know that he does!
Oh, that is so wonderful!
I have struggled quite a bit with feelings like that myself, but just recently the Lord has showed me too a little of what He has in mind for me, and it
is exciting!
I will definitely pray that you continue to rest in the Lord's peace about your future!
Pogginfan wrote:I did finish it.
It's definitely my favorite Austen. I loved the ending, it was very near perfect!
This is probably Austen's heaviest book, but I think that's why I like it so much.
Now I'm looking for a film adaption of it, but I've heard all the one's available aren't very good.
Any recommendations?
Haha, that would be really fun, having all the Nwebbers make a MP film!
We'll all have to do it some day.
Hurray!
It, along with
Persuasion, is my favourite Austen as well. Even over Pride & Prejudice. (Shocking, eh?
) Hmmm. Well, I would probably suggest the latest adaptation- made in 2007. There's really no bad content in it aside from what you already know happens in the book. However, there are some character changes and event changes, as the film was made on a lower budget, so they had to cut some scenes from the book. The 1983 mini-series was pretty good, but it's long and the old style filming might make it hard to sit through. It is, however, more accurate and faithful to the book. It's kind of up to you, I guess.
And my reply is so helpful.

We have horses, llamas, goats, cats, rabbits, chickens, a dog and a guinea hen. Also, bats and mice and gophers and squirrels but those don't count. Lately we've been having not so nice goat milk, and the theory is that there's been residual soap in the jars... yuck. Anyway!
Ah, nice. >_> Did your theory prove to be well founded & supported by the facts at hand, and therefore the not so nice goat milk is on its way to being ended forevermore? (I hope so!) How many horses do you have?
Aiden wrote:Really, you're still working your way through Season 5? Glad to hear your vacation went well, as well!
Heh, yes! We have about six or seven episodes left now, but we're still working through it.
How has life been for you? Do you resume your scholastic activities soon? (Or rather, when does school begin for you?)
Aslan's Country wrote:*waves* the answer to this question would be, I was doing very well before I got sick, the last few days have been awful, and now I'm recovering, so I'm doing well.
And you?
I hope you are completely recovered now?
And how was your holiday? I hope it was lovely!
I am very well myself, thank you! Somewhat tired- my family and I were out yesterday and got home very late (or, rather, early, as it was about midnight or shortly thereafter when we got home, and 1 am before I got to bed) so naturally I'm tired.
But it was entirely worth it, staying out late and such.
Annndd I should be off. I'm just waiting for all the new music I'm putting on my MP3 player to be finished copying over before I go running. It ought to be fun running to the music I put on there...
I hope y'all have a wonderful evening!
