hello again

hello
So i just found out that all my classes are cancelled today. Im thrilled to have an extra day to my weekend. now hopefully i use it to catch up on all th many thing i am behind on.

I had a great weekend. My uncle was in town from montreal and i got to hang out with him. saturday we went to goldstream and watched all the rotting fish. we hiked a little, and i realise how much i missed that. it was a beauitful day with leaves falling down and getting caught in the water. they flowed downstream in blankets of leaves like quilts. the sun was beaming through the branches, the air was warm and fragrant, the forest was everchanging, tall massive trees were swinging slightly in the brezze. I loved it.

Yesterday we went sailing. Ive never been on a sail boat and have always wanted to. what a gorgeous day. 3 hours flew by. Our skipper's name was al, and other than him we were the only ones on board. we were bundled up in warm clothing and learning the ropes as it were. jibing and jibbing and tacking and steering. what fun!
It made me feel so removed from everything else. what a relaxing way to spent your day. one cant focus on lifes stress while hailing on ropes and changing the sails direction.

And now a surprise elongation of my weekend- to do all the homework i ignored while enjoying myself. what a wonderful way to start a week ...which will also end early since im coming to nanaimo, for macbeth maddness, on thursday!
