Ah, Sunday ... and a New Flatmate?

Ah, it's Sunday! And I LOVE sleeping in until noon. Yup, that's what I did. Don't remember when the last time I slept that late was ... oh yeah, yesterday. :-) Anyway, today has been a very uneventful day. I slept late, made brunch (eggs with edam cheese and banana nut bread - yum!). Ran into Matt this afternoon when we were stumbling around the kitchen - we have a new flatmate! He came in this morning, early, I think. His name is Robert and he is from Vancouver, Canada. Quite an old fellow too! He has a 17 1/2 year old daughter who is studying computer technology at Brown University (Matt & I think he is in his 40s). He is here doing his MA in Law. Seems like a nice fellow though he is very difficult to understand. Apparently he is originally from Wales then moved to Vancouver and is now back here doing the MA. He hopes to stay a year, but may have to move back to Canada. Matt & I are opting he moves back because we like our house of "under 25 year olds" quite well. :-) Yes, we are being discriminatory.

All it has done today is rain. It is 7:30pm as I write this and it is already dark outside. I had even convinced myself to go running, but then the sky fell! So, I stayed inside and surfaced the internet for textbooks. I can't believe how expensive books can be! When I was at Transy, I took 4 or 5 classes and only spend $500. Here, I am taking THREE classes and I am spending almost $800!! One textbook is about $100 - ridiculous! Oh well ... so Mom has gone to Borders to see what she can get with her discount. Keep your fingers crossed we can save some money.

Oh! So, I made dinner tonight. I must say - ain't too bad! I threw chicken in a skillet and cooked it with asparagus, onion, and carrot and potato slices. Needed a little pepper, which we don't have. Guess I'll run to the Spar tomorrow for that. The veges were a little crunchy, but they were still good. I was quite proud of myself!!

Nothing else exciting on my side of the ocean. May have to pop in a movie (bought Walk the Line and American Dreamz the other day) and watch that ... I can only take so much of Beloved at once because it is very dense.
