Today was the last day of my first week on placement. The week went well, though I'm a little tired out. Thankfully tomorrow is PD day, so I can get some planning done. I was enjoying the little bit of sunshine while we had it, followed by bone crunching cold winds.

Today saw the end of the council. Sadly, if you arn't into L5R you have no idea what that means.

The snow started up against today. I'm sort of glad it's no longer raining, but I'm really done with winter.

I'll have to bring this matter before the council, maybe they'll get rid of it. They'll know how too, from their learnings.

It's been some time since I've really thought about roleplaying. I remember back a few years ago when we were all really into it, including out stupidity where we'd play 2 nights a week. What prompted me to pick up the new D&D book, I'm unsure, but we'll see where it leads.

Downtown was nice today. Wasn't too cold, wasn't too warm. So we played some L5R at Fandom, then a couple of us went around, and walked up Sparks street. Keith's ears got red, and I thought it was funny since I remembered my hat.

I went down to the protest on Parliament Hill today. I'm pretty sure Facebook said it was going to be at 11. However, this sign downtown told me 1 oclock. Considering I was downtown around 9, I wasn't very amused. I wasn't impassioned enough to take part in the protest, but I wanted to see it. In the meantime I explored the gargoyles on the Parliament Buildings, and saw the cats that live in the back.


I did eventually see the protest.

I'm excited we've had a few days of natural light. I've been very excited about about this light. So next week I start my placement in a kindergarden classroom, I'm very excited, And it's close enough I can actually walk there in the morning.

I had a big list of things I wanted to do today:

- Get pants hemmed
- Move dresser from basement to my room
- Clean
- Run the vacuum and dust my room from all the stuff I've kicked around
- Ge my license renewed.
- Play with my Kotei decks a bit
- Go downtown early enough to take some pictures downtown

The first one happened. I got downtown in time to wait for Gilles to get out of the shower so we could go to Fandom.

Wow, I've made it to picture 20. Good for me.

Today we actually got the sun I was whining about yesterday. Everything seemed a little nicer, from the blue sky to the happily little critters outside, burrowing around in the snow for something to eat.

I'm getting rather tired of it constantly being grey and miserable outside. I don't know why, it doesn't normally bother me, but this year I could just about kill for some sunshine.

Same with this dinosaur here, outside in the cold. As you can see from it's eye, it's a very sad dinosaur because of the weather. Possibly the saddest dinosaur in the entire world.
