Had a fairly quiet night in the
house last night by myself. I was woken to a car horn going off constantly at
2:30am which then made me think and wonder if it was maybe my car, but I was
too scared to look out the bedroom window. Yeah, I’m a chicken. Eventually it
stopped, and since I couldn’t stop thinking about it, I peered out the window
and couldn’t see anything. Not sure who’s car it was, but sitting here doing homework
today I heard it go off again, so I’m thinking someone doesn’t know how to work
their new car alarm or something. Have been fairly accomplished today, which is
a good feeling. Makes the decision for going out for Izzy’s birthday tonight
pretty easy. I was going anyways, but knowing that I won’t have as much homework
to do tomorrow is an even better feeling where I won’t feel guilty for going.
It was cold here last night, got down to 7C. Some of you might think that I've gone crazy already with temperature changes, but it got to 37C just a few days ago, so last night was cold. I saw that Edmonton broke a heat record the other day, which was warmer than here that day too. Everyone has begun to welcome fall here. As we complain about the cold temperatures in the winter, I have had to laugh a couple of times the last few weeks in listening to people complain about the heat. We are similar but opposite, you know what I mean.
I thought of this the other
night, and I couldn’t believe that I forgot to put this in my last post. Monday
this week I wore my Calgary Flames t-shirt to school, and before I left that
morning I had said to Aaron that I wondered if my History teacher would say
anything…sure enough he noticed and made a positive comment about it, it was so
funny, he was like “hockey, the Calgary Flames, nice shirt, bonus grades for
that” and pointed to one of the football players and said “now that’s a real
man’s sport, hockey…oh it sure is!” and everyone started laughing. Then on
Wednesday, I was sitting in the library killing some time before my next class
when he came up to me asked me about someone giving me a hard time about
wearing my hockey shirt the other day. I was a little confused, as nobody had
said anything to me about it, so he must have over heard something or perhaps
another instructor recognized it and made a comment about it. He said that
someone was talking down about it, but that he was all for it. Really nice guy.
He even asked me how I think things are going in the class, as I had spoken
with him a couple weeks ago to get more comfortable with the course and just
what to expect. I just wonder now if I stick out more then I really wanted to.
Guess we’ll see how the first test goes next Friday.
Training on Thursday night at
Paul Brown Stadium was interesting. We couldn’t figure out where to go and
walked to all these gates before we ran into this group of 5 from Xavier
University who were there for the training also. The guy seemed to have more
information on where we needed to go then we had, so we tagged along with them.
Before you know it, we were able to find someone who was able to track down the
lady who was doing the training and he took us up to the Club where training
was. A short while later a really large group of people came in. Not what I was
expecting, but I don’t know what I really expected. There were probably close
to a hundred people there. Maybe more. The lady went through a bunch of things
related to serving alcohol and what our responsibilities are and then we took
the test. Should have the results in a couple weeks, and hopefully I’ll be
fully certified to sell alcohol at the Bengals games.
I'm missing something important back home today, my friend Ellie is getting married, and I really wish that I could be there to celebrate. All the best to Ellie and Cam today!
