The Dunns [dot] C.A.

I am here in Halifax at the Saint Mary’s University residence until Tuesday taking the UFE Prep course.  I got here on Sunday evening by train and class started Monday morning.  Wedensday we wrote a 5-hour practice exam and tomorrow we’re writing another one.  Fun!  All week we do some review of topics and things, then write short 60-90 minute practice exams. 

I miss my boys!

The girls in my residence “suite” are super nice, so I lucked out.  All of the students I’ve had a chance to chat with are really nice.  There was a pub crawl last night.  I didn’t get a t-shirt though.  I met up with some good friends down at our old fave the Fireside, and had a few martinis and some seafood crepes, then my friend Mark and I went down and met up with the crawl at the Pogue Fado.  It was a lot of fun.  John & Rhia joined us there as well.  Clam Chowder was playing and they did a slew of great Tragically Hip songs.  There was another pub crawl going on as well – a bunch of lawyers!  *LOL* 

From there we went to the Pacifico for some more drinks and dancing, and then sausages and cabs home.  It was a fun night, although I wouldn’t like to do it more than once a year.  I figured I’d better take advantage since I was able to sleep in.  Anyway, I had to do something to take my mind off of missing my little darling!

Rick sent me a little video of Marshall pulling all the newspapers out of a laundry basket…”organizing” I guess you might say.  *L*  I watched it twice already and will probably be watching it again soon.

My meals are included in the room fee and at first I was pretty disgusted, but it seems I have either gotten used to it, or it’s gotten a bit better.  Tomorrow might be a good night to go out to dinner since Sunday suppers aren’t usually spectacular.  The pizza is always a good bet though.

The buskers are in town so I might go down and see them tomorrow after our exam.  Today I slept in, had a massage and a physio appointment and this evening I’m just going to relax, and do a little study review.  Only 3 days left!  I’m getting a drive back to Moncton with my future coworker, Jordan.  He’s been telling me all about the firm I’m going to work for.  Sounds like a good bunch.

Well, off to study!
