...it's Easter weekend...

Today is Good Friday. That term always used to stump me when I was a kid. I mean, what's so 'good' about Jesus being killed and hung on a cross?? I didn't really grasp the fact that the 'good' factor took place 2 days later on Sunday when Jesus rose from the dead. Jesus wouldn't have been able to rise from the dead, and in doing so take on all of the crap-tacular things we do in life that separate us from God (nice of him, eh?), if he hadn't been crucified and died on 'good' Friday. This is what I never really understood when I was younger. I just saw a lot of people crying at church and I didn't see how that could be considered 'good.' It's a happy thing that as we grow older we gain insight into these matters.

"When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a [woman], I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known."
~ 1 Corinthians 13: 11,12.

...the pinnacle of procrastination...

Ah, it's been a while. I apologize for my lack of "blogging" but to be quite honest, my life has been less than interesting as of late. I honestly spend most of my days marking mediocre first year papers and working shifts at the Grad House (on campus Graduate pub). Yesterday's highlight, as I was marking with my friend Karen, was find one of her students had completely plagarised her paper. I was so excited I nearly knocked over Karen's coffee table. Seriously. I honestly can't believe that students are stupid enough to hand in plagarised papers...especially when you can find them on the internet by just typing in one line. Honestly people, if you're going to plagarise at least do it intelligently. Of couse...that does seem like a bit of an oxymoron, intelligent plagarism.


At any rate, to escape from the drugery of it all, I accompanied some friends to the Mic Mac Mall (the largest mall east of Montreal!! Woo wee!)on Saturday morning. The Mic Mac is where auditions for this year's production of Canadian Idol are being held. One of the girls in my program has a boyfriend who wanted to audition, so we all trooped down for some moral support. He made it past the first round of auditions, but was cut in his second audition. There was A LOT of waiting involved, but at the very least it was amusing and I was able to do some shopping.

Who doesn't love when the Gap has a sale?

I know I do!
