Finally back! This was an exciting week full of random discoveries and devoting my life to a slew of midterms and assignments (YAY! We're halfway through the term!)
What I discovered this week...
- Settlers of Catan - To say that I'm obsessed with this game after playing it twice is an understatement. My first exposure was on a previous episode of the Big Bang Theory, then at a friend's birthday. In the past week, I joined the Facebook group, monitored discussion boards and forums, and yes, I'm now recruiting others to play with me. How could trading sheep, building roads and robbing friends of their resources be so FUN? I'm a nerd and proud of it. Does anyone have any tips they like to share?
- Jeremy Lin - He is on FIRE. If you don't know who he is, he's literally taking the NBA and New York by storm in the 4 games he's played since last Saturday (over 23 points in 3 games and 38 in tonight's game... absolutely crazy). I don't even enjoy watching basketball that much, but I'm tuning in to Knicks games and actually considering going to the Raptors/Knicks games next week to take part in "Linsanity".
- Fair trade hazelnut flavoured coffee... dee-licious! And available in every corner of campus, which makes it my new daily treat.
What I thought about this week...
- The 2010 Vancouver Olympics all started two years ago. That's right... just TWO years ago. How time has flown by - I remember Sidney Crosby's goal/Scott Moir and Tessa Virtue's mesmerizing free dance as if they occurred yesterday! I was GLUED to both the TV screen and my laptop screen and didn't want to miss a single moment. This was around the time I discovered Twitter at this time too and I remember seeing how neat it was to read tweets from Canadians and folks around the world... it re-energized my Canadian pride and got me even more excited about the Olympics.
