So I'm back for the next hour

I'll be glad when this week is over - traveling constantly is not my cup of tea.

Speaking of tea, I've drunk so much in the past week I feel steeped.

Let's recap:

Thursday night I got back from St. John's. It was a relatively uneventful flight, save that we received news my grandmother was in the hospital with pneumonia.

Friday I worked, and then went to the Bark & Fitz Staff Christmas Party, which was held at the Irish Village. Amanda and Dani and I made plans to do more drinking at a future date when the boss wasn't around.

Saturday I worked again. Lah-di-dah.

Sunday I cajoled my father into letting me sleep in and then we headed out to visit my grandmother at the hospital before trucking on to Hamilton.

The weather driving on the 401 was the pits, as was to be expected, but we made good time. The concierge at the hotel was rude and unhelpful, so I had no internet, but I survived.

Hamilton was, well, HAMILTON. Parts of it are super nice but those parts are beyond my financial means. If I were to make it into MAC (which, at this point, is unlikely), I would live in the town of Dundas, which is five minutes from the university and is its own autonomous village. There's also a Bark and Fitz opening there - bonus for me.

I really liked P.W., the guy I met there in the kinesiology department. I think he and I would be well-suited to each other. In fact, if I don't get in anywhere as an anthropologist, I might just apply again right away as a kinesiologist. I'm sure I could do it.

Photos to follow. I have to head to the airport in an hour.
