Me and Adam are presently renting a nice little apartment 3 blocks south of his work or 98th Ave and 104th St. We've got a 3 month lease on it, and will be getting phone and internet on Wednesday.^_^
It's nice to be one 20 minute busride from school, cause I have SOOOO much work to do. IF I can manage to get off my lazy butt, this week, I will be going insane from working.
Also, Saturday was 12 Hour Comic Day. It was basically a 12 Hour Comic Jam and was a lot fun. I even got my picture and a quote in the Edmonton Journal. Yay!
Can't wait for May.

NAIT's on Fire!
Well, not anymore...
In the first half of my English class, we heard the alarm and thought it was just another silly fire drill. We head outside and complain about standing in the cold for forever when there's not even a real fire.
Then we hear the firetrucks coming.
A little while later, we're allowed to head inside to the nearest hallway, but we're not allowed to leave that hallway to enter the E-wing. Probably cause the E-wing smelled like burning. After some standing around, we (me, Steven, Nicki, Alex, Sheldon and Reba) headed over to the HP centre, where I took some pictures on the pedway.
After that, we headed to the South Lobby to see if we could back to our lockers. No such luck, but there were people playing Guitar Hero. Pretty soon, Ceima and Jesse and Alex find us and tell us we need to go to the gym. George is at the gym and he tells us afternoon classes (except the field trip) are cancelled. i didn't HAVE afternoon classes, so it didn't really affect me.:/
Someone opened the door to tell us that it would be another half hour to an hour before we could go back to the E-wing. Me and Steven head off to get some food in the Common Market and run into Rosalee, Daina and Dolly. They were able to sneak back downstairs to grab their stuff, but by the time we went to where they went, it was blocked off by another teacher.:/ We strolled around the sports area for a while until we were finally let back in E-wing. I grabbed my coat and keys and headed home.
I was supposed to get out of school at 10:10 this morning. I didn't end up getting home till 2:00.:( Oh well...
Apparently, the fire was caused by a small torch in the denturist section on the second floor. Not a lot of flames, but tons of smoke and water damage, leading to about $100,000 in damage. I was actually sitting next to some of the dental students on the bus, and one was saying, "I wonder if we can just have smoke-flavoured dentures?"
Anyhoo, here's some pictures I took:

NAIT Welcome Week
So Monday was the start of NAIT'S Welcome Week.
First off, there was an ice breaking thing in the gym where I got to briefly meet some people. One girl who I became friendly with, Andrea, noticed my henna tattoo and that became the starting point of our conversation. I REALLY need to get myself a henna kit, especially if it helps make new friends.:)
After the ice breaking thing, we were put in groups and were taken on a tour of the main campus. It looks like a really great campus and there are lot's of places to eat and study. There's a coffee shop, a Mr. Sub, a Pizza Hut, a Common Market, and even a campus bar, The Nest, located next to the swimming pool. It'll be free to go to the pool, so I think I might end up going there quite often.
When the tour was finished, we headed over to the Shaw theatre for a comedian presentation about managing finances. I ended up getting 5 bucks for being "the smallest freshman."B)
After that, there was a free hypnotist show at The Nest with Damian the hypnotist. It was pretty fun. I was laughing so hard I was crying.
The next day, I went in early for the free pancake breakfast and registration. As we were having breakfast, some French guy asked us to sit at his table and we talked alot about politics, since he said he was going to be a polititan. Very friendly though. The registration went quickly so we were out of there pretty soon.
Afterwards, we went to Surf's Up! at a cheap theatre. The movie was really great. The only downside was that a daycare brought 196 kids to it and completely filled it up. My dad, who was late(as usual) couldn't get in to see it with us.:/
Anyhoo, it's been a very exciting week so far.:)
