First things first, I passed my general exam yesterday! The presentation went pretty well and I thought I did a decent job of fielding the questions from my committee. I know that I get over stressed and worked up about these things but that’s just how I function. Immediately after the exam I was struck with two feelings: physical relief and exhaustion! I celebrated passing my exam with a nap, a run around Green Lake and a yummy dinner!

This morning I up very early to fly home to Ottawa for the weekend. I took the above photo at the Toronto airport during my layover. As soon as I got through customs and security I made a beeline for Tim Hortons’ to play Roll up the Rim to Win. As you can see, I won a coffee! It’s good to be in Canada.

I can not believe how much snow is on the ground here! The side streets are barely 1.5 car widths wide in places! I don’t ever remember it being this bad before. It is a pretty winter wonderland though. It’s supposed to warm up this weekend so hopefully conditions will improve.

My main goal for this weekend is to watch as much basketball as possible (and maybe some curling on TV too). It’s the Men’s CIS final 8 and my family has tickets to the whole tournament (10 games). Go Carleton!
