Being a Tourist in Ottawa

I know, I’ve been bad with posting lately. I’ve really been considering if I should post everyday since my life isn’t actually THAT exciting!!! I decided I wouldn’t go to OT to party this weekend, but my parents wanted to show my aunt around. We drove in Saturday and met up with E who brought [...]

Time Flies

Less than 10 days until Christmas, and a month until I leave. Wow. I still have to go get a visa!

In the Christmas spirit: here’s something I did with my dad a few days ago. He wants to re-record it with the electric guitar; this is all acoustic. Also, the timing is slightly off [...]

Speed Dating

A few of us were discussing speed dating at work the other day. I first heard about this a little over a year ago. For those of you who don’t know what it is, it’s one of the new(er) trends in dating. Basically it’s an event where you’re paired up with someone and you have [...]

Case Presentations and Next WeekendS

I have to do 3 practice case presentations for my ICBC class before Dec. 23rd. In fact, before this Friday because my partner is leaving to Colombia on Sunday, and I hope to be going to OT this weekend. I don’t know if that’ll pan out, but I’ll see how I’m feeling Friday. Haven’t been [...]

Day Off Today

I still have a bit of a headache. Drink responsibly kids…I definitely learned my lesson. Thankfully, I had the day off today to sort out some things for my exchange next semester.

Look Who Commented!

Wow. Now I really see how powerful blogs can be. I posted on Heather’s blog because I thought her article was interesting, and she actually took the time to post a comment on my little entry! Heather Hamilton was mentioned in the Financial Times…so I guess it’s almost like a “business celebrity” commented here. [...]

Heather's "Marketing at Microsoft" Blog

A new link has been added to the “Sites I Visit” link list today: Heather’s “Marketing at Microsoft” Blog. I don’t know her personally, but here’s her intro:

I’ve been reading Heather’s blog at work for a few weeks now. There’s a lot of good information and she’s got some quick wit which I always enjoy [...]

Freezing Rain and Christmas Presents

Today I had my first taste of the real winter when I had to scrape a layer of ice off my car that was about 1/4″ thick! Once again, it took me about an hour to get home. I guess it’s normal since there was a freezing rain warning and the roads were a bit [...]
