Air Crappy redeemed itself! Shocking, isn't it

For the last three years, I have flown numerous times to and from Ottawa and Moncton. For most of these flights I have taken the airline Air Canada, aka Air Crappy (due to delays or for other travellers missed luggage). Well this time my faith in the airline was restored. Not only was my flight from Moncton to Ottawa ON TIME it got into Montreal 30 MINUTES early-talk about good time. So after waiting an hour in the Montreal airport for my next flight, our flight again arrived on time and we arrived in Ottawa very safely. Only drawbacks of the whole experience-losing my glasses' cleaner to security (my own fault. Not only did i forget to put the cleaner in a plastic bag, but it exceeded the authorised amount for non-medicinal liquids). So rather than argue, I have now assisted a security guard to have cleaner glasses. Second drawback was entirely due to my own stupidity! I knew my seat from Montreal to Ottawa was 7D, and through the entire waiting time in the montreal airport I memorised 7D! Then, "This is a boarding call for all passengers on flight AC8973 in rows 6-10," played on the speakers so I jumped up and got in line. Then what did I do, sit down in seat 6A. Nothing close to 7D. well...I guess i had a senior's moment. I didn't even realise my mistake until the stewardess came over and asked both me and the guy next to me to show her our boarding passes. hehe...jokes up Heather. So I said I'd get up and move but no, there were empty seats closer to the front (the passenger was an elderly lady who wanted ot be close to the front anyway). so other than my two own mistakes, I have now restored my faith entirely in the Air Canada industry. However, before i make them a medal. let's just wait for the trip back.

cue Handel's Messiah's famous chorus....

I AM DONE-exams, papers, presentations, everything. well for this semester anyway...which means four months of my BA left! I am totally pumped yet am freaking out! I did work really hard this semester, which is funny cause I still was up till at least 3am the week papers were due. It's hard to believe that four years have nearly ended. I'm not completely sure what I wish to do with my life, but I have some plans. We'll see what happens, but whatever it is...God is there helping me decide.
i was laughing today, nothing unusual, because I was thinking back to grade 12 and how I desperately wanted to go Trent. I was still going to be an English major but not at little ole ABU. I did however, want to attend Oxford. And here i am, four years later, with Oxford on the transcript and a HUGE load of memories tucked away for safe keeping. I like how God shakes things up for us; we want something but He leads us in the opposite way. He tells us there is a place where the grass is green...and we can actually go there.

Christmas Banquet

Friday was ABU's Christmas banquet, held the first time ever at the school itself. I was very skeptical with that arrangement, but I was pleasantly surprised with everything. There was a nice relaxed atmosphere, which made it a lot more fun. I just had a great time.

Today at 2pm in the auditorium a Christmas play will be performed. It includes the line, "God Bless us, everyone," which clearly sets the tone for the whole message. Though it may not be completely organised, the play will be an interesting experience. Even if you aren't into theatre, you can come and watch me spazz right out onstage. Apparently, it's some people's favourite part.
