So reading week is shaping up to be an exciting time. To start it off, wedding in Las Vegas for a few days. This should be great fun AND I plan on making quite a bit of money at the casino...
Then I am going to a conference in Toronto for Diabetic Youth Advocacy. I remember mentioning about wanting to go to the international conference... but they picked someone else out of the Canadian applicants, but this one in Toronto should also be fun, though somewhat less exotic.
Now, if anyone out there is interested in going to Las Vegas, consider yourself invited! There are a lot of package deals (flight and hotel) which are quite a bit cheaper when booked for 2-people... so it could benefit both of us. Air and Hotel would probably be around 5-600$!!! Also, the wedding promisses to be a good time, and I will need a date anyway(although from what I hear, Las Vegas has no shortage of escorts...).
I realize that I probably won't hear anything back about this, BUT I want to make sure noone is going to be sitting all alone on reading week with nothing to do....
I'm starting to feel the stress that this month is going to mean for me. Scholarship applications and finishing up my portfolio of McGill application and the little things like getting transcripts and details about letters of reference to teachers. Luckily, I think I read the application deadline for UBC wrong, so I have an extra few weeks to get that ready.. and that one requires an extra piece... which is actuall possible with the extra time! yay! Nevertheless, I started that application procedure tonight, so all will be well!

I'm going to have a good reading week too. I'm going out to Ottawa to visit bobert. It won't be as warm as where you're going but that's ok.

Vegas in Winter. That's smart. When we went in the middle of July it was +40 outside. If you even mention that it was too hot after you've gone I will beat you silly. Anyway, flight and hotel should be cheap if you book now. We only paid bout $600, but we could have gotten the same thing for $500 had we booked earlier.
