Tid bits
Most important things first, a few long overdue congratulations:
To Kendra and Brad for the birth of their incredibly cute and adorable baby son Daniel Rohan King!! Lots of hugs and congratulations to abuela Doris too! I imagine that Daniel must be going through some major spoiling right now with grandma visiting from Honduras :) Wish I could be there playing with him too.
To Maya and Chris for their "amazing" engagement!! Chiqui, I'm so excited for you! Name the date and time and we'll go dress shopping together in TO or Philly or India or Spain (you know? have to keep the "international" theme from your engagement going)! We can make it into a party and get Min-ching and Zahra to come from Kingston :) What do you think?
To Min-ching on the successful completion of her MSc Thesis. You're done!! No more histamine and its effects on LTP in the brain of urethane anaesthesized rats... well, until your Phd. And congrats on the NSERC scholarship!
To Ron on finishing his PhD and getting an awesome new job in Bowmanville! Dude... or should I say Dr. Dude, congratulations on all your achievements. Sorry I couldn't make it to your good bye party but hope you liked the card. Wish you, Sarah and Evelyn (the cutie!) the best in your new home!
Okay, so scratch the whole idea of writing every two or three days... I should have aimed for a more realistic goal: once a week... or a month perhaps? Mayo, have you not kindly reminded me of my blog, this post would not exist. Sighh... I've actually been rather exhausted over the past weeks. I've been making up time at work for all the days that I took off in August by coming in on weekends and holidays... and it's starting to catch up on me. Work has been unusually busy, with a sudden explosion of studies that require specific things to be done at various time points, compounded with the unwelcome realization that I'm in dire need of some major studying for the GRE (which I'm signed up to take in a month), is not making me a happy person.
Granted, I've only started studying a week ago, but my practice scores are beyond pathetically awful. Tomas couldn't have phrased it any better: "Agueda, it's not your fault that they're testing you on all your weakest points. You have no critical thinking ability, your math sucks... and you can't write. If I wanted to design any test to really mess you up, it would turn out to be just like the GRE! Your only hope is for me to go take it for you!" (what a nice brother eh? Sadly, there's so much truth to what he said)
