California- rain; Grand Canyon- snow

I am writing from the Grand Canyon Headquarters, where we got stuck due to heavy snow. Anyway, it is a tremendous spot even if you can't see the other side.

Yesterday I saw a coyote on my way from the restroom to the car, so finally I see same animals in all that national parks... nice!

Buffalo, NY, San Francisco

Holiday season!
After crossing the border with a Coach Canada bus we flew to JFK. Unfortunately, we missed the connection flight, guess what: Jet Blue offers NY-Frisco only once a day! So be back at the airport in 20 hours...
NY was cold and rainy (actually the bad weather in NY caused our delay, I just forgot about it) we had no hostel but shared the subway with some other people which were in the same situation. Well, I guess they are in this situation already for a couple of years. Anyway, at least I was in NY again!

I am now blogging from a youth hostel in San Francisco and will be heading to Yosemite National Park tomorrow... nice (and at least warmer than Toronto, St. Catharines or NY)

Fall term ended

Today I had my last exam and successfully (hopefully) finished my first term at Brock University.
The exams were held in the gym which would be a great idea for Hohenheim as well!
Tomorrow I will travel to California, so cu there!
(Oh, if you are not in California I wish you a nice time anyway)

studying and a german joke

Today I will hand in my second take home exam and write Money and Banking. I guess that is the reason for not writing any posts in my blog. Anyway, I found a nice joke, while learning on the internet, hah hah...
There we go:
"Mama, warum droht der Mann da vorne der Dame auf der Bühne mit dem Stock?"

"Er droht nicht, er dirigiert."

"Und warum schreit sie dann so?"

wish you a merry advent!

Final take-home exam

Well, actually I should do my take home exam. But as I am tired I rather write a blog entry.
I entered now the final weeks for the fall term. I have to finish my first take-home exam until Friday, but will receive the next one on Thursday already. Besides an economics assignment I still have to study for two final exams on the 8th respective the 10th of December.
So I will be busy, while Bekka enjoys Toronto during the strike at her university...

Hope this sounded stressful enough, so you look forward to reading my next holiday/traveling/ or whatsoever entries.

So far just one more Canada traveling hint: do not park within three meters of a water hydrant.

landscape photography

this are my tries to win a photography competition at the brock outdoors club. Unfortunately, I did not win.
Still, at least you might enjoy the pictures.

snow-finally!

finally the first snow reached St. Catharines today!
It was already snowy up north during the weekend (see bekka'a blog for further information)but today the winter arrived at my home.

Well, time is running. Last week (November 11) was Remembrance day. It was interesting as we had a remembrance meeting at school. It started with drums and a song by people from the First Nations, later on readings out of the Torah, Bible and the Koran and of course the national anthem.

Regarding University I am still busy finishing up some presentations, next week I will get the take home exams and the final exams will then be at the beginning of December.
