My final assignment for my second web design course is due on Tuesday. It’s not a difficult assignment, persay, but, it is time consuming. And it can get a little bit complicated. See, we went over three different programs in the course of this course (ha!). Fireworks, Dreamweaver, and Flash. And each one could be its own course! I feel like I can’t remember what we learned at the beginning (because let’s face it, I was only half paying attention). This is when it gets frustrating. Because I can remember learning it but now, when I go to do it myself, I can’t remember. Yes, this is what I am doing on my Saturday night. Except for the frustrating part, and that my client is more difficult than I expected (so many changes! hahaha!), it actually feels pretty productive. I even went to the gym!

I do deserve a relaxing weekend though, if I say so myself. With the improvement in weather, I’ve been trying to make myself get out there a bit more. Not that I’m not busy, goodness, I am, but, you know, doing more things that are fun. Yes. Fun. A little less by myself, a little more being with other people. So, on Wednesday I went to a Blue Jays game and on Thursday to an art gallery. I had an incredibly good time during both, due both to the venues and the company.

For instance, at the Blue Jay’s game…wait, are they still called the Blue Jays? Or are they just the Jays? Anyway…I finally met Jess’ brother. He’s six foot four. His father is a 5′8 white guy and his mom is a small Chinese woman. Now, I don’t know much about genetics, but. I do know that he and Jess probably aren’t biologically related. But, instead of warning me about this, she grabs me and is like, “Alli, I just want to warn you: he has a very deep voice!”* She had to explain a lot of the strategy of the game to me, but, the whole sporting experience: extremely enjoyable. If I paid for my ticket (seriously, could that family be any nicer? They are all way too lovely!), I would say–Best Nine Bucks Ever Spent.

Thursday was a horse of a different colour. See, sometimes when life feels a little bland, all you need is a little pick you up from your friends. And Julia and Siobhan are two girls that can do that and more. In fact, we’ve joked about taking our act on the road. It’s that funny. And not just to us. I mean, we tested it out. At an art show. And if we can be funny at art shows (because we all know that people are weird at art shows, in the best way of course) then we can be funny anywhere.

Is there any point to this post? I don’t really think so. I think I’ve just been staring at a computer screen for too long. I think, for the good of all of us, I should just go to bed.

*For the record, his voice isn’t that deep.
