Maple Tree

I’ve been pretty busy lately, so I am doing a ‘cop out’ blog post as Terrin would say. It's just some pictures that I like. The Maple tree in our back yard looks really cool this time of year, not to mention the fact that we made maple syrup this spring. I took these pictures just before the sun set, so the light is pretty crazy.

Notice the plane in the background of the last one?

That's all for now.

Finals Survival Gear – Spring Semester 2006

So that time of year has come around again. Despite the fact that it’s raining beautifully again and the snow is gone, it can still be a stressful time. The word ‘finals’ in no way, scares me as much as it did when I was a first year, but I can still feel the tension. It’s been a crazy time around CPC so I decided that the Spring Semester 2006 edition of the "Finals Survival Gear: The Mixed Tape" would have a bit of a mellow feel.

So after a lot of procrastination time I have made the final list:

And I know, there is no Yo-Yo Ma gracing my list this year. I realized this just after I had burnt off the CD’s, so for an honourary spot I nominate “Cello Suite No. 1, 4. Sarabande” I tell you it is the best music to study by.
