WEll this is my one hundred and fifty first post right now... I think the first one hundred went faster than the last fifty, but who's counting right?
I am at Head Hall which is the Engineering hub of UNB and Im in the Engineering library.... yep they have their own library, although I have never seen anyone take a book off these shelves. I think the shelves allow for there to be a divider between all the tables full of students studying for exams. Matt is studying for his final exam on Wednesday afternoon which happens coincidentally at the same time as I am going to be getting my eyebrows waxed. Good timing, this way I will remember to pray. I like to pray right at the beginging that his nerves will be calmed and that he will have the confidence and courage that he does know what he is doing and not be overwhemled with the black and white staring at him in the face.
Today was a great day. My phone began ringing at 6:33. I ran for my purse, finally dug my phone out in the darkness and said "hello" ... dial tone. SHOOT I missed it. Thanks to caller ID I knew it was Stacy so i called her right back. But lately MY reception has been horrible... any tips on what I should do about that? I havent been able to have one clear phone conversation in the last 3 weeks. It is terribly annoying. Anyway... I got sidetracked, back to the story. I called her back on Matt's phone since it actually works. She explained that the roads were horrible and that her husband wasnt going to let her leave the house and she was going to call our Boss. I turned on the radio and it was call after call of accidents. So it was finally decided to delay opening until 12. WOW a whole morning to myself. I could CLEAN!!!!! I got so much done. I finished laundry, amde Matt breakfast, cleaned the rest of the apt. Wrapped the last of the presents, dug out the suitcases for our trip which by the way begins on Friday when we head to PEI until dec. 28. I have that whole week off and we dont have to come back here so that I can work. I was SO happy and excited. I even called Dad and told him the good news.
Matt and I are going to exchange presents when we get to PEI. I cant wait for him to finally open it. I think the anticipation has almost killed him. hehe.
Anyway... I think that is all I feel like writing right now. I will talk to you all soon. Much love and caring.

PS MERRY CHRISTMAS... and HAPPY NEW YEAR
