Once again I went down to Feeding Hills! It's always an exciting drive, made even more exciting by the never ending rain we encountered on the way to pick up Ben in Vermont. The ran was crazy, and we could see some lakes quickly forming on the lawns and fields we passed by.

When we were no hitting up grocery stores for canned food, getting lost in town, or enjoying a fine beverage, we took the time to draw on more than a few of my cards for the tournament the next day.

I am going to be going to the States again this weekend for another L5R event. This one is called The Obsidian Championship, and whoever wins gets to choose who the next Obsidian Champion (he or she is a bad guy) will be. I'm not aiming for winning, just aiming to do well, I came 2nd place in this event last year.

Also, this will not be a shock since a lot of my updates have been late lately, but obviously I will not have access to a computer and internet so I will not be updating this weekend. Next week when I put up my posts I am going to aim to get back on target of updating every. It's just a little hard to find the time to process pictures, edit them, upload them and write a little bit lately. I just have to find the time to make the time, or at least get back into order.

Here is what I have learned so far in Introduction to Children with Exceptionalities:

Everyone things they are right and everyone is wrong. Because you once worked with a kid who has X disability you are now the grand master expert on everything to do with that disability. None should argue with you! How DARE they argue with you!

I've also learned to just sit back and draw cartoons to keep myself entertained while the ladies go on and fight about nothing.

The one thing which really catches me off guard after a long weekend is how the day after doesn't feel right. Sure, I went to school today, but it feels like Monday. Feels a little bit off. Couple that off with off routine activities like visiting Fandom after class and the whole day seems like bizzarro-world.

Most of this weekend was spent getting my Crane collection together. Really, considering over 15 years there have been about 295 Crane cards printed and I'm now only missing about 59 or so of them...that isn't half bad. So I took time to get that ready this weekend, took time to get school work ready this weekend, and apparently opened up my bed for the cat to use.

Everyone in our family has a different Thanksgiving tradition. Some people carve turkey, some people wait in front of the stove all day smelling the turkey cook, staying not too far away from it in hopes that the turkey falls to the ground.

Went headfirst into a bunch of old cards! Was looking to see what old rares I had and what I could do if I decide to make a Shiro Big Deck (an alternative format for L5R). For some reason I decided it would be a good idea to make a Crane collection. So now I'm going to try and collect one of each Crane card ever printed. Oooo boy. This is going to be hard.

My teacher was really generous and decided that she would cancel out Friday afternoon class right before the long weekend. People were happy about that. Problem is, I didn't know so I didn't get the email. So I bussed it for an hour down to Algonquin, had my class which was only one hour (ended up being more like 35-40 since no one showed up because the next class was cancelled), then left and took an hour getting home. It wasn't a huge hardship and I probably would have gone to the class anyways, I just dislike the new emailing system. Stupid microsoft.

I missed my class last week because I was rather sick, and apparently it was a good thing. Class went past 10pm. This time though I don't think we even went to 8pm. The teacher gave a lesson on activity write ups (I've done like a hundred of those for my placements) and then said we could leave. I will certainly not complain or argue with her.

So many nice days in a row, it was bound to just come down raining eventually. Bleh.
