Today I nearly broke my nose.  We had, and are still having, a very nice winter storm.  Ice, snow, freezing rain/ice pellets, high winds... the works. It started last night.  When I got home from school last night I had trouble walking up the driveway because it was so icy and my driveway is a really steep hill.   All school buses in the city and surrounding areas are canceled.  The snow plow came by this morning before my mom left for work and we had to go and shovel the snowbank it left across the bottom of the driveway.  So I've got my shovel and I'm heading down the driveway and when I get near the bottom, I slip.  I fell over backwards with the shovel in my hand and it went up in the air and came down hard across my face with the handle landing on my nose. I'm just lucky it didn't break my nose or my glasses! I'm not sure if my glasses protected me or not, my nose is all swollen and there is a bump where my glasses smashed it.... But all things considered I'm feeling pretty lucky.

I get the day off to study my speech that I have to present tomorrow in front of my Japanese class.  I have half of it memorized so one more page to go.  My homework assignment that was due today is now due on Monday (but since I have an exam on Monday I'm gonna try to get it done today), and I don't have to go back out into that storm to go to school! I'm gonna memorize the rest of my speech and then watch some tv, I haven't watched tv in a few weeks. I'm starting to feel deprived. lol

I've decided I'm going to buy a camera. I found a really nice one by fujifilm (that's the same brand as the one I have now). It's amazing how inexpensive cameras have gotten. I bought my current camera in the summer of 2004 so that I would have a camera for the Farscape convention in Burbank. I paid something like $450 CAD for it. It doesn't do much and the pictures are really grainy now... the camera I'm thinking of buying does a million more things than my camera and is SO MUCH better!!! and it's almost half the price!  it's a good $150 cheaper! So I'm kinda happy that I won't have to dish out as much money for the new camera! If anyone is interested in cameras you can take a look  here  http://www.fujifilm.ca/x15466.xml

well I guess that's about it, still going crazy with school but really liking the fact that I get to stay home today.  Gonna go take some more Advil for my head now. Maybe I'll go take a nap too.
