This morning I woke up at 8:00am to start studying for my exam tomorrow, (I know! sooo studious!) which is at 1:00pm, not 2:00pm as I stated in my last post. I was completely aware of this fact when I last posted, but I have received some concerned msn messages... don't worry I'll be on time!

As I was sitting at my desk in my room, all I could hear were the sounds of the world waking up. Especially, these incredibly loud geese and ducks. It sounded as if they were having a huge party. And since I LOVE to procrastinate, I ran down to the basement and told James that we were going for a walk. He was not impressed. James is definitely not a morning person.

This will add an interesting dynamic to our marriage considering I love the early morning hours of the day (between 6:30am and 9:00am) because that is when I get the most done. James, I suppose also loves the early morning hours of the day, but that is because he prefers to stay up ALL night and then go to sleep at 5:00am. Those are HIS productive hours.

Anyway, I managed to convince him that it was a good idea and we made our way down to the Thames River. Unfortunately, I think we saw like 3 Canadian geese and that was it. All the squawking had ended. I have to admit that I was a little disappointed, but it was a nice way to start the day. The last time James and I went for a walk by the Thames, we saw a marmot. Or what I originally thought to be a marmot, but now I'm not sure. Because when I looked up marmot on the internet, they are actually just groundhogs. Funny enough, I am pretty sure that there is one that lives underneath my next-door neighbours garage and he hangs out in our backyard. So that still doesn't explain the animal we saw by the river.

Any ideas? I know it wasn't a mink, because it wasn't long and sleek like a mink. He was big and fat like a marmot/groundhog. Enough procrastination... I'm going back to studying.
