Look! Up!

Something new for the nice folks at blogger: a Blogger Bar! It replaces the ad AND for those who were complaining that they couldn't surf to other random blogs on blogspot, it has a 'Next Blog' button. Oooh. Aaah. It also comes in four colours, but I think this one goes best with my layout.

Oh, and, yeah, the GRE yesterday. It was as fun and exciting as I'd expected. I did about as well as I'd expected, though I wouldn't have minded doing a bit better on the verbal. I think, though, that it's probably more or less in line with my transcript and the admissions essays that I've yet to write, so I don't really think that it will either help or hinder me a great deal.

And, yay, my friend from Vancouver came in last night to visit for two weeks. It'll be a crazy-fun two weeks. He doesn't believe that I've learnt to party since he left Montréal two years ago. I must prove him wrong.

Finally, damn efficient public transit. I budgeted close to two hours to get myself from home to the airport on the métro. I got there in under an hour. So I had all this extra time to wonder around the airport, pay $10 for a chicken wrap sandwich and a coffee because I was starving--we all remember that I tend not to eat when I get nervous, right? and I was nervous yesterday from the GRE--but it also meant that I had all this extra time to start reading the book I bought yesterday, The Old Gringo by Carlos Fuentes.
