Snow and Graduation

Today it has snowed on and off for the past few hours. I don't understand this city at all. I wish that it would be more predictable, but at the same time it is a trait that garners much attention in the media so for that I am happy for Calgarys unconventionalness. I also graduated this past weekend. It was so glorious to have the family out including my immediate family as well as some from Edmonton and some from Ontario. It was a good show of education achievements as well as a good sermon by Bill McAlpine. After the big show we all went out for dinner at a little Italian Restraunt called "Abruzzo". One of the best meals ever, some good accompanining drinks and excellent dessert. Then to the symphony with the family. The music blew my mind, I mean it was so good. Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana" as well as a new experimental piece. Solid overall. That was a few days ago, and these last few days I have spent chilling, have meals with friends, enjoying the joys of not being in school, and attempting to not be frustrated by my lack of job. I wish that I would get a job soon due to the restraints of my monetary funds, but I am enjoying this time off to sit and reflect and enjoy reading slowly and for myself. And now I will go and do just that, slowly read for my own benefit. Until next time.

Special Report

I just finished my final final exam of all time. Also this morning I watched as white smoke poured from the chimmney, and thus a new Pope was elected. I also watched as he was announced to the crowd and then heard thousands of people cheering. What a glorious day. And now off too coffee with friends, and home to watch movies and enjoy the joy of being out of school.

History Papers, and Pre-Employment Testing

I am currently working on my final AUC paper, and its a fight to keep working on it, but I can see the light and am ever warmed by it's glow. Yesterday I also recieved an e-mail from a prospective employer telling me they would like me to go in for some pre-employment testing. I have been told by a friend that this is good news, and it is a step in the right direction. So with my spirits being lifted I will now return to my paper on Hitler and historians views on why he did what he did.

Coffee and Ben Harper

A quick note before I head back into my paper. I just got back from this thing we at AUC like to call Beggars Feast. It is a night of worship and word usually once a month. This month it was on a Saturday and that was kinda odd, and lots of people did not come, which is unfortunate since it was really good. I went with a great deal of weight on my shoulders from all the stress that I am feeling about this comming end of the year, and so I was kinda also angry. I walked to Central United and sat with friend Pam Remple. The night was excellent, I was is a strange quite emotional mood, not to be comfused with an emo mood, I did not wear tight jeans or a sweater vest, or a suit jacket, and I most definetly did not listen to Dashboard. Anyways, I was an emo-tional wreck, and perhaps cried like a sissy. Anyways I had been holding a lot of emotion in for the past while and I let it all out. It was extremely freeing. So after said sissy crying and the worship and talking was over I headed out to the Dorm to hang out with some friends. They had invited me out for coffee and what kind of person would I be if I turned down an offer for coffee. So we had some pizza, some coffee, and then sat with warm coffee in hand on the balconey of my home from last year, and they, Tjosie and Josh, serinaded me with Ben Harper and Jack Johnson. It was nice since Ben Harper speaks to me in so many ways through is beautiful music and astounding guitar playing. So basically what I am saying is that I left my house burdened with a heavyness, and now I find myself relaxed and a little less stressed. It's a good feeling to be a little less stressed, I was getting a stress rash on my arm, but polysporin took care of that, anyways back to my paper.

Rock and Roll Worship

This eve I played at Tehillah, it was a good experience, loud and in charge, and we were called Rock and Roll Worship. It was great. I should be working on trying to graduate so I will inform you of my life in a few sentences with appropiate descripitve words. I was sad when the Pope died, stressed with all the papers I have to do, happy that soon I will be graduated, stunned by the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, warmed by the sunny day today, and generally quite tired. So thats it, my life with excessive commas. I am sure that once school is done I will have more to share as my life becomes normal again.
