So a few posts back I mentioned I was interested in creating a few recurring features for the blog, and this post is introducing two of them!

The first will be part of my 2008 Resolutions. Number 4 is to read three books a month, outside of school-related books, for a total of 36 books at the very minimum. At the end of every month or beginning, I will write reviews for the books I am reading. On January 31st or February 1st, I will review this months books which I categorize under “Books I Could Watch”. They are:

• I am America (And So Can You!)by Stephen Colbert
• V for Vendetta Graphic Novel
• Don’t Eat this Book: Fast Food and the Supersizing of America by Morgan Spurlock

The other feature will be about reflecting on my past and trying to remember some of the cool things I have done. I’ll do this every week or every other week and it will be called “Reflection Friday”. I’m just so cool to have come up with a name like that, I know.

Also, everyone should check out Adam’s WordPress powered site at www.adamp.ca.

Other than that, I have had nothing to do at all. I walked to Safeway yesterday and bought some more yams (see inset – yes I took a picture of the yams I just bought…). I cooked with yams for the first time on Thursday. Made a yam casserole of sorts (brown sugar, milk, honey, mashed with boiled yams and baked with pecans on top), and it was really good. I actually went to Safeway for margarine and cheese, but decided yams were worth buying more of.

Adam came over yesterday as well, for a little. We watched Home and Garden Television. We were planning on going to a movie, but couldn’t find anything worth going to see, sadly. We debated for a while, but soon the smooth house-hunting skills of Kristie and Phil on Relocation, Relocation took over, and we were laying around watching that. Such is life. He went home, and I went to bed, but woke up around 1am feeling naseous, dizzy, faint-y, and, oh lucky me, was hallucinating. So I gave Adam a ring and he came over and spent the night with me to make sure I didn’t die or anything drastic. I kept hallucinating about Dani Gore, and only thing morning did I find out who she was with the help of google. What a weird thing to hallucinate about. Jeepers.

Oh, I did start working on my passport application yesterday, which is the beginnings of #60 on The List and part of my 2008 Resolutions. I will hopefully be able to throw that in the mail by the end of this week so I can get on to travelling!

So, I begin classes today. I have four history classes. I was taking a film class, but the professor sounded like a douche (see inset) in the course outline and I discovered care of a rather nice website, Rate My Professor that his first exam only had a 52% average. Yeah, no douchebaggery for me thanks! I have a class about Medieval Violence, Women’s History, Napoleonic French History, and British History. A good line up, and a rather nice schedule, I get Fridays off. Which will give me time to work or accomplish things on my list or something.

I went to my job interview yesterday, we’ll see how that turns out, I’m not overly sure how it went or what my chances were. I think I will stop at a few places today and grab applications.

Nothing exciting for the rest of the week. This weekend I may be re-vamping this with the help of Adam. So possibly, maybe?, expect some changes. I sort of want to go to Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump but I think Adam will be all driven out from his drive home and all. More time for a job search, I suppose.
