bone in sub

last week, i visited my family in virginia for a week. my sister’s high school graduation ceremony was on Thursday. i did a lot while i was there:

• a nerve test involving electrodes placed inside my arms via needles (no nerve damage or carpal tunnel!)
• more driving than i’ve done in the past year
• attend two parties thrown by high schoolers – that was a trip after being in university for three years
• buy some new clothes; funny how i used to hate buying clothes and now i love it
• watch the final playoff game – i don’t really watch hockey, and it was a great game to watch!
• set off $70 of fireworks…this doesn’t happen much in downtown toronto
• lose an arm-wrestle to my sister’s boyfriend
• play two hours of Guess Who and Connect Four with the above pair
• check in friday night and go through security to find that my plane home had turned around shortly after leaving toronto for mechanical reasons
• eat a lot of barbeque sandwiches (one of my favorite foods, and a rare one in toronto)
• take the next plane (saturday morning), arrive in toronto and take a taxi to work, and work for the rest of the day

i got my grades back last week – amazing. i honestly didn’t expect to do that well!
