It's been beautiful and sunny all day so I was hanging out on our balcony to soak it all up. I feel tons better: I joined the YMCA so I could take some classes and keep in shape, and I'm much more calm about classes now that things have sort of settled.
Graham helped me study for my last French test and it made a huge difference! I think I'll repay him in food as I'll need his help for the final.
We had another burrito dinner yesterday. Really hit the spot, as I've been craving, of all things, Taco Bell. At least we made a healthy, more authentic version of the stuff. I've kept up the vegetarian eating since summer and I just realized it's been about 6 months! Go me, but something about the 6 month mark is making me really crave greasy meat. I'll admit I ate the lard created refried beans that Morris made. I just couldn't help it, the craving was too strong.
This weekend I also reunited with some friends I haven't seen in a month. It was really nice because they're some of the first people I met here and we all really bonded over trying to find housing together.
Nothing much else to report. Grandpa sent me the second installment of Proust's In Search of Lost Time - sometimes all I want to do is curl up and read it until I'm through. I'm glad it's come in time for winter, it will make the snow all the more beautiful as I make my way through his page long sentences.
This week I'm going to see the Waterhouse exhibit at one of the art galleries in Montreal and I'm going to have to go to a theatre performance or two in order to write my review for class. La vie! J'aime Montreal!

Many moons ago I was in Tucson selling at the big gem show there in the winter, when this Mexican chap came by my booth selling tortillas. My hippie comrades passed them by as they were made with manteca. But, I gotsta tell ya, they were soooooooo delicious. Lard, yes, good.
