The Unfriendly Cat Paradox

I’ve more or less settled into school and the Okanagan. It’s really nice living with Jay and Jenn (Roxanne’s brother and sister-in-law). Like all McLeods, they are quite friendly (it’s genetic). Their cats, Mookie, Honey and Riley, however, are somewhat less friendly. This contradicts my long held belief that all cats like me, so I am slowly trying to convert them. Although UBCO is in Kelowna, Jay and Jenn actually live in Vernon. Fortunately, they live in south Vernon, and the school is in North Kelowna, so the drive is only about 35 minutes. Plus, it is quite a stunning drive. The highway winds through the hills above the beautifully multicoloured lake Kalamalka. If you’ve been here, you probably remember that lake. No Ogopogo, though, but it’s only a matter of time, well, that and being transported to an alternate dimension where Ogopogo actually exists.

The program seems decent and the people are really nice. Coincidentally, the teacher from that class is part of the family that owns Andrews Farm, an historical farm near Lac Brome. I've joined a carpool with some of the other people from Vernon--finally, the earth is saved! We take 2 classes for 3 hours each everyday. Right now those classes are educational technology and adolescent psychology. They’re not bad. In ed-tech one of our projects is an instructional movie group project. I’ll try to throw that up when we finish; it’s pretty funny. The image above is a Photoshop poster I made for that class. I put it up because I felt like putting it up.

Happily, next Saturday is the 2-year dating anniversary for Roxanne and I. We will meet in 100 Mile for the weekend. I’m really looking forward to it. Not only because of the obvious goodness of the event, but also because I'll just have finished my first 3 exams and my projects, so I'll be ready to party, which means playing a board game and going to sleep at 9:30--EFF YEAH!
