Right so I'm back in Halifax and started with the whole learning thing again. It's going ok, taking an arts based class it's interesting but I doubt the way it's assessed is going to play to my strengths, so the chemistry class and physics one are going to be far nicer I feel.
Anyhow the main thing that has happened since I got back was that James came and visited me. This was pretty awesome of him, even if it did ruin my chances of doing much work at the start. Naturally his visit involved a fair bit of drinking, discovered a nice bar with plenty of choice of drinks, also visited a Scottish pub, it was ok just dead because it was a Monday. The nicest bit was running up a $100 on cocktails, very very tasty and very handy for falling asleep afterwards. Of course we had to go to a hockey match, and it just happened to be the best one I've seen. A 4-3 win for the Mooseheads, behind for most of the match then got the winner with 5 mins remaining off an absolute beauty of a pass to set up the one-on-one. Even better as the teams were more evenly matched they were a little bit more fighty which definitely does increase the spectacle. Had a nice wander around a very icy Point Pleasant, which made it look fairly amazing, if a little difficult to wander around. Also Air Canada left his bags in Heathrow, so you know well done guys.
Starting to get used to the Halifax winter. Essentially it snows, stays cold for a few days then gets up to around 10C all the snow melts, before it plummets by around 20C and gets covered in ice and then snow, and the cycle repeats. This whole cycle takes around a week to happen, so yeah there's some pretty indecisive weather.
Also the NHL started yesterday after being on strike for months, everyone has gone just a little crazy it's great.
