Christmas Adventures

I know it's been a while since I last updated. With all the craziness of Christmas I ended up not having time many of the things I was hoping to accomplish. All the school work I brought back with me remained untouched. My parents and I ended up flying out to Ottawa on Christmas Day to spend the rest of the holiday with her and her husband. Good times had by all. We spent a couple days wandering around outside. Did a tour of the Supreme Court of Canada and of the Parliament Buildings. We walked beside the Canal (no skating this year since it's been to warm and it has not frozen yet). All in all, it was nice to have a little break and go back to Canada but at the same time I became quite homesick for Scotland. I love it here and really missed not being able to walk around town and randomly run into people. I'm now back and have thrown myself headfirst back into my work. You know you're doing something you love when you miss not being in the library everyday. Or maybe that just makes me a bit of a nerd. Either way, it's been great getting back to work after a nice break.

So, to summarize the holiday:
Number of hours spent on planes: 21.5
Number of inflight movies: 7
Number of Canadian cities visited: 4 (although two of those were just the airports)
Number of UK cities visited: 3 (those were all airports)
Modes of transportation used: Planes, train, buses, taxi, walking, car.
Number of books read: 3
Number of Chapters of German done: 1 (sort of, I'll have to go back and review. No where near what I was hoping to accomplish)

I have an online photo album set up with pictures from Christmas and some of my other earlier adventures so feel free to browse at your leisure. http://picasaweb.google.com/medea.colchis

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
