"The Return of the Jackass"

So Smith emails me to tell me of his return to blogging and asks me if I will advertise this momentous occasion to you, the masses. Yay...everybody do a cartwheel. What Smith you want a medal? So far his return has been rather unexciting and his topics mostly centre on the U.S. Supreme Court. Although I do not care for the topic he is, as always, hilariously funny and is taking jabs at old councillors which is always entertaining.

I have returned to school (my last year!!) and in my first week I managed to be sober once. Friday was a very difficult day because my hangover seemed matched by the pathetic weather. We went to watch the Esks game in the cold, damp weather and the Esks played like shite. Maybe they were hungover too?

My time has been basically spent going to and from from school, getting hijacked by friends I haven't seen all summer to go and have a few beers, and watching sporting events (you'll notice the general lack of things like studying, buying books, or reviewing notes, which is what I should have been doing). Last night I worked at the Oilers Rookie game Versus the Golden Bears. The Bears won 5-4 in sudden death overtime. It was a good game and the press was all over the place. It was cool to see all the old school Oilers like Lowe, Mac T, Huddy, Simpson, etc.... I was a goal judge which basically meant I had to press a button. I pressed my button 4 times. It's all very complicated as you can well imagine, but I figure this is good practice for when I finally get on Jeopardy and win big money.

Also entertaining are all the new first year students on campus. I call them Grade Niners. I was approached in V-Wing by one very confused grade niner on my first day and she asked me if I knew where 'vwing' was. At first I was like, "vwing?" I thought I heard her wrong but no...I contained my giggles until later but I think she's on to something...V-wing shall now be called vwing, rhymes with swing, until they knock it down.
