This should make up for my lack of November posting....

So lately, I have been a bad, bad blogger. Here's an update!

• I had three papers to complete for school for today. Because I am a procrastinator, I started writing those papers about three weeks ago. Not such a good idea. Also in there, was a class presentation on dangerous dog legislation in Ontario. So this is what I've been doing since my last post. Law school is my life.
• I haven't seen my niece Emily since the weekend I last posted. That's how nuts life has been. I miss her and can't wait to see her in the little polar bear suit we bought her! I'll post a picture when I see her in it!
• I went to an Imogen Heap concert on the 8th. If you don't know who Imogen Heap is, then you need to check her out... best concert I've been to in awhile. And the guy that opened for her, Kid Beyond was just unbelievable.
• My birthday came and went. The party my friends threw for me was AWESOME! We ate great food, had some wine, talked, laughed and then we walked over to the bowling alley for some good times. Best birthday ever! Even my sis was there! AND - I was surprised because Nic (Marquis) and Missy came too! So fun!
• Last weekend I went home to my parents because I desperately needed a change of scenery and a hug from mom! I also got to spend time with my little sis on the train there and back. It was just what I needed to get myself back on track with my papers.
• I got an extension on one of my papers. The shortest one. My prof was super understanding and said, don't worry about! What a relief, because I'm pretty sure that I would have handed hers in late anyway! So I have until next week to do it.
• My other two papers were LONG. The first on dangerous dog legislation (in particular the pit bull ban in Ontario) was 6500 words and my second, on whether genocide is occuring in Darfur, Sudan was 8500 words. I wrote the first paper in less than 2 days and the Darfur paper in about 3 days. That doesn't include researching. I have to admit, the Darfur paper was quite depressing and if you don't know what is going on there, then I suggest you find out. It's probably the world's biggest humanitarian crisis to date. Think Rwanda.
• This past week I think I had an anxiety attack! But... my one of my bestest friends Corie, all the way from Barcelona, Spain, was able to help me put it all in perspective. Man I need that girl to COME HOME NOW! So get your butt on a plane and come home! She'll be back in February - thank goodness!
• And what about James? Well if he isn't just the biggest breath of fresh air to me. I love that kid a bunch and couldn't have made it through this stressful month without him.
• What's next? I still have my last paper to write, on restorative justice and youthful offenders and one exam, on real estate law, how fascinating. Please pray for these two last things that they don't drive me crazy with boredom.

Oh and it's December - Merry Christmas. I will officially start celebrating and looking forward to it on December 13th at about noon (because that's when my exam ends and I can start focusing on life, instead of the law).
