I'm smiling now!

And there's good reason to be too. Exams finished up on Thursday. And I must mention that it was my second last exam period ever. EVER. It was quite painless too - just 4 exams, and all finished within just one week of writing. I don't think I'll ever miss the 2 weeks, 7 exams of the previous two years.

To make things even better, I'm leaving on Tuesday to spend about two weeks in England for Christmas. I'm in the midst of packing right now - so there's lots lying on my bed, and not much in the bag just yet. I'll probably have to scale it down a bit, as I always end up taking too much stuff. I fly Tuesday evening from Hamilton to Montreal, then on to London, where I'll be meeting up with my family, which makes me really happy. Mostly because I'm just excited to see them, but also because it will be like the opening scene from 'love actually'. And I like that movie. From there, we all fly on together to Manchester, where we will meet up with Jonathan and Britt. Finally, we will all pile into our rental van together and drive to York, where we will stay in a holiday home. Which reminds me of 'The Holiday'. I like that movie too. And we will do lots of cool things there, and lots of shopping (maybe more looking though).

So, to the five of you who happen to read this, I hope you have a wonderful Christmas! Enjoy your time with your family and friends! I'll be back in 2008, with hopefully a few pictures to share!
