Hey guys

Erm, havn't updated for a while, so I thought I aught to. Err, first I've got my first midterm back, a solid 95%. Not bad, but I think I should have had higher, all my mistakes were stupid. Umm. I went to the astronomy club viewing - it was VERY cool. Highlights included A globuler Cluster(M80?), the ring nebula(caused by a super nova colapsing into a white dwarf) and of course, the moon! Seriously very cool to see the craters on the moon. If you get the telescope looking at the edge where the moon meets space(towards the dark side) you get really cool 3d definition. You can actually see where the craters are and just HOW big. Only planet that was up was Uranus, and I didn't get to see it. Oh well. Don't imagine it could have been that high quality, I think the telescope was 18 inches, but that may not have been enough. Wish I had a hundred thousand to spend on one.

Anyway, my mom's also in town, so I got to mooch! :) For those of you still underage or planning to visit somewhere where they ARE underage - chinese/japanese/ethnic bars and resteraunts NEVER ID. Was great, now I have a supply of shampoo to last me a while :) Also detergent - a definite necesity.

I'll be back in edmonton on friday, arriving in at .. 10:13. Leaving on tuesday early.

Umm. also, my kitty died :( I just found out wendsday. Sad to think that a life could deteriate in 3 weeks.

Now i can't remember what I wanted to say .. Blah. Anyway, I'll update in a few days, see some of you pretty soon.

Simon
