My goals for this summer:
- learn how to use R
- learn structural equation modeling (disguised as a course)
- have a rough draft of my dissertation proposal
- prepare an article based on my master's thesis for publication

I plan to boycott these Kingston businesses for the time being because of substandard service:

* Coffee & Co. (53 Princess St)
* The Grizzly Grill (395 Princess St)
* The Merchant Taphouse (6A Princess St)
* Phnom-Penh Restaurant (335 King St E)
* Tango (331 King St E)
* Sotto Sopra (354 King St E) - now out of business! Hurray!
* Zellers (Cataraqui Town Centre)

This list will be updated from time to time.

Packing for two reasons:

1) moving downtown.
2) going home to Alberta for a visit.

The amount of time I have spent sorting my stuff so far has been ridiculously lengthy considering the amount of stuff I actually have.

I have not been sleeping well for the past month or two. Maybe it's the bed. Maybe it's the stress. (One paper to go.)

Well, all of my classmates (and the professor) in my curriculum course know about this problem now, seeing as we had a discussion on energy drinks, sleeping, and remedies during our 'night out' this week.

Well, I took the bus to the EGSS Winter Social last night at Megalos Restaurant. I was the first one there, which was strange, considering I had to travel from the middle of nowhere. I had a turkey sandwich, since most of the either entrées were mostly red meat or pasta (which I am taking a break from).

I also had a cocktail. Yay, more alcohol for a body that doesn't like it. But their drink offerings were not that great.

Wet snow seems to be more common in Kingston than real snow. Yesterday it was extremely windy, today it was just cold. And I hate waiting for the bus.

Well, I can't believe I'm going to be homeless in less than two weeks. Time to start looking. Again.

Winter is finally here, I have finished my T.A. duties, and my cupboard is empty - what a great weekend.
