Breaking the habit
So, I guess I should break my recent habits of having a monthly update, so I will have a second post in May!
First off, this time next week, I'll be back home in Waterloo. Flying back next Wednesday, so I will have less than a week now to do whatever I need to.
Now, I really don't remember everything that I've done while here, so here are the highlights in semi-chronological order:
-Saw Iron Man. Really didn't expect too much with it, but it was actually a pretty good movie. Obviously not going to win best picture, but for a superhero movie, very well done. Fun and entertaining, which is all you can really ask for in a movie.
-Went skiing twice. Once in early May, and it was absolutely gorgeous weather and ski conditions. I'd never gone to Sunshine with it so nice out. Then the second time was almost the end of the season, and by the end of the day, it was about 20C at the base. Thus, our last few runs were in shorts (and a coat, since it was chilly). But the shorts honestly weren't bad. It was very comfortable with them. If skis didn't kick up some snow, I wouldn't have had any troubles with wearing them.
-Saw Indiana Jones. It probably wasn't that great of a movie, but it was Indy, so still fun to see. Worth watching.
-Otherwise, nothing too much. Spent time with friends, family. Went to Vulcan yesterday to see the Star Trek stuff there. Heading to Radium tomorrow to relax in hot springs. Lake party Saturday just after I get back from Radium. Then I guess a day or 2 to pack next week before flying back. Getting really close to the end. It's been fun, but it will be nice to get back to Waterloo. Plus, I'll still have another week and a half of laziness before work starts to do some last minute cleanups around my room, and spend my last real time off before work (as I've told people, I'm giving retirement a test run now).
