Well the 2nd Monday in October is not the wrong time but it does mean November can be a long month of no holidays. Except Remembrance Day, we get that off but it's a Wednesday. Still, Thanksgiving on a Monday seems wacky to me. Overeat and then have to roll into work/school the next day? No thanks. Also that means it's harder for people to travel to be with family for the holiday. Though from what I've seen of the students around here, they'll form their own versions of family with each other and just do it that way.
I was not around to celebrate though; I traveled back to America to celebrate Columbus Day instead. It was a good time for me to go back and see John (my visit closely followed his birthday) and just catch up with people because I won't go back again until Christmas. It was a fun weekend, like stepping out of my life in Vancouver for a bit. It made returning to school and getting back into this routine very difficult though,
Cool, fall weather has set in around here. Not so many leaves to change color here so I'll miss that. But splashing through puddles in rainboots is quite fun. For now. But things are generally quiet around these parts. My building is being renovated so I can hear the workers' conversations every day. (Men are just as gossipy as women for the record.) Halloween plans are also in the works which will be a nice way to relax after a very busy week coming up.
Also, I got my British Columbia Medical Services Plan card today. I'm officially in the Canadian healthcare system. Maybe I should have them check out this potential ringworm. Gross, I know. But it's not a worm! Just a fungus.
