Chilly

So recently it's been a little cold around here, getting down to -27 C last night (that's -16.6 F for all you Americans). While Canadians usually know to stay inside in this kind of weather, my crazy British friend Laurence decided that to truly experience the Canadian cold, he ought to sleep outside. So he did...on a picnic table which he covered with cardboard from the recycling bin and a dirty blanket (he was preparing for his trip to Algonquin in February, although I'm assuming that he'll at least have a tent then). He obviously survived and thus wins the prize for the craziest activity of the week.

My friend Luis wins a prize for creativity. He is a TA for calculus and he designed a form that everyone in the class had to fill out. They had to draw a picture of themselves, do some other stuff, and then answer the question of how much they liked calculus by a) they loved it, b) something amusing that I can't remember, or c) they thought it should be called cal-cool-us. He was disappointed that no-one chose c). He was most impressed by the student who put down "d) not as much as you" because Luis "hates" calculus (he obviously didn't tell them that).

Other prizes will be awarded as I see fit.

Oh, I am taking Salsa lessons, which I thought that all of you who know me would appreciate. I have two things to say:
1) I did not hate the first day like I thought I would. I even enjoyed it.
2) I feel much more self-confident. I decided to be a guy for the night and so I danced with just about every girl there, which was weird, but I have to say that I think I have a much more attractive back than any of them, which definitely improved my mood. :)

That's all for today.
