Getting away for the weekend.

It is a 5 day weekend. Well, that's not really news... since I never have class on Monday and Friday's anyway. But this weekend Josh gets them off too! We're going to Radium with his folks. It should be fun, good to get away. I can get away from everything here that is driving me crazy. I was hoping this weekend would be a break. But unfortunately I have an exam to write (submit online) and 3 assignments and then studying for another exam next week. But I will be in a different location. Plus... I get to do some soaking in the hotsprings... and probably have some tasty food. Very exciting. The ipod is being prepped for road trip!

Last weekend was the climate change weekend. The Be Aware Club (Biology and Environmental Science students) here on campus (which I am a part of) held a funeral for the climate. :) I didn't attend, but I was excited to read the coverage of it. They had a a priest, a coffin, grim reaper and much talk about the changing environment. They had it on the steps of City Hall and then walked down to the MP's office. These events were held all over the world. Not all done the same, but the same topic. But as Canadians we are not keeping out Kyoto commitment. We signed the Kyoto Accord, but have not reduced our emissions much at all. So sad. We could do so much!

Anyway... now I'm going to be bad.. and we're DRIVING to calgary. But there will be 3 people in our car. From Calgary we will all car pool out to Radium, rather than each driving seperately (or even as couples..).

Anyway, I was sent this video from a faculty member. Really interestinng. Watch it.
