There is no logic in my Logic Board...

Hi all, so the end of term is drawing ever nearer, I have only three more classes left of my BA, and on Easter Sunday my lovely little iBook decided to crash... I only lost the work I had done on two end of term papers, and possibly all my photos from this trip, but hopefully not! I now know to back up! It looks like it is the Logic Board that has gone, so hopefully the Harddrive is still intact. I'll be buying an external Harddrive very damn soon! Ah well, all these things work themselves out, and I am now in the process of negotiating with Apple to see if I can get it fixed under warranty or not - as well as negotiating with Profs for extensions on papers!

Other than that, we had an amazing day at Whistler on Good Friday, the snow was slushy but the sun was shining and we just had lots of fun. Good times. It is sad to think that the season is drawing to a close, but the sun makes up for it! I also got two jobs and a place to live last week, which is a big relief! I may cut back to one job once I have started them both and got a feel for them, or I may do both and just rake in as much cash as I can for the summer! I'm going to be living in a little house just off-campus, on a lovely tree-lined street, and it is dirt cheap, so that has worked out well.

The cherry blossoms have just started to now fall off the trees, so we have shifted from having beautiful aromas to having pink snow on the ground! I have only one more day of classes, then on Thursday afternoon is 'Arts County Fair' which is a big concert/party put on here at campus, supposed to be one of the biggest campus parties in North America - should be fun. De La Soul are playing, which'll be sweet. Friday I start my new job, at a place called Watermark, check it out here. I've also been offered work here (it's called Bridges), which looks potentiall really good if they offer me the gig upstairs in the actual restaurant, as opposed to the Bistro downstairs. So that will all work itself out, and hopefully I'll have time to hang with mates and chill out and enjoy the city as well! I'm sure I'll manage to juggle it all!

Apart from the computer crash Easter was good, had yummy Turkey dinner on Monday night thanks to Kat and Chrissy, which was gold (oh and Jovan's Cornbread was excellent too!!). Nice little study-break that was. I hope you all had a great Easter and are back into the swing of things wherever you are.

Anyway, I'd best dash off and get some food before my final Spanish class. All done with exams on the 25th of April, then move into my new place on the 1st of May. Take care, out for now...

Hometown Baghdad...

I've just got back from class and was talking to a class mate over a quiet lunch-time beer about the Baghdad Burning blog that I've recommended you to, and she told me of another, called Hometown Baghdad, which you can find here. This 'video blog' is a collection of home-video style documentaries that discuss life in occupied Baghdad. As you can probably tell, this issue and media has really captivated me, and I thought I'd share with you! Please if anyone has other similar sites I'd love to see them... OK time to go job-hunting! It is a beautiful sunny afternoon, I've just got an invite to a wedding from one of my best mates Scotty, and am feeling particularly far away from home right now as I'm not going to be able to make his wedding... These things happen I suppose, I just have to be philosophical about it and realise that everything we do means that there is something else that we can't do! On that note, time to go look for a job!
