*ugh* Need news!
Canadians dont know how to spell cricket, let alone how to play... Couldn't believe it when I walked into the downstairs bar (at the hotel) they're playing 5 sports channels full-time and not one of them knew ANYTHING about the game. Have the Pom's been demoralised again? What about Warnie? Any word on his shoulder?? NEED INFO PEOPLE!
The total lack of information is a poor advertisement for the Canadian nation, really. They should instate compulsory cricket lessons in all schools. "Howzat!?" should be a household word. Really.
I'm trying to get some information about ice hockey so I can go and watch the blood thirsty sport, but I've yet to get any idea of whats going on. I did hear that the final cut has been made for the Canadian Junior team, set to play the Junior World Titles later this month. Like that means anything to me...
Ice Hockey is just like grass hockey on steroids, right? Matty?? *meep*
I haven't seen much of the city, as I've spent most of today recovering from the flight from Auckland. I crossed the equator and the date line all in one flight, so I arrived in Honolulu before I took off, and have been confused ever since.
Hawaii is all crazy, with all the added securities they've put in place. To catch our connecting flight to Canada, we had to go through customs, collect our luggage, walk OUT of the airport and back in again.
I spent the whole time with a "what the hell?" expression on my face.... Mum got pulled up for a random shoe-check. I bet the poor security guard got the shock of his life. After walking around Auckland for a few hours, sitting in a dodgy bus to the airport, then another 10 or so hours in transit, mum's feet smelled priceless....
Its -bloody- cold here. I accidently walked too close to the automagical doors in the lobby when I was coming here, and got a nice chilling blast of downtown Vancouver coldness. I've been told that we might hit 8 degrees tomorrow, if we're lucky and the storm blows over.
*jaw drops*
I have no words.
Got my results from Uni.
A for the thesis, and 2 A's and a C for my coursework. Stoked about the thesis and I want to know what that bumps my GPA up to.
Dont know what else to say, really, as my past few days have been all about airports, which you know all about. Had enough of -them- already.
Hope you're all doing well.
Happy Holidays!
Jac.
