So early Saturday morning (Ok…closer to noon….but I was aiming for an early start but had a late Friday night) I picked up my new car! It’s pretty much the exact same car that I had pre-accident except for a few upgrades. I opted for power windows….since for the 4 months I had my previous car I was already sick of rolling the windows! And considering those 4 months were mostly over the winter…I’m sure when it’s nice outside I’m really going to hate manual windows. So when you upgrade to power…..you have to go up to the deluxe model. So apparently I have a better sound system, fancier tire rims, and some other details I can’t really remember. I also got my arm twisted into getting a sunroof. I’m embarrassed as to how much of a chick I am since I only care about frivolous features rather than anything important. (like Horsepower or something…)

Good thing for the power windows and sunroof, since Saturday was an absolutely gorgeous day. I met Luen on King West and then we cruised around in the new wheels. OK, we weren’t really cruising…we were mostly just looking for parking which is impossible on a nice day downtown. We had a manicure and pedicure date which was much needed. I baked some Banana Walnut Chocolate Chip muffins….and we sat in the spa….got pampered…ate muffins and gossiped about boys. Wow…I really had the chick afternoon with chocolate, spa, gossip and a new girly car! Next Saturday beer, sports and steak.

Saturday night we headed to Waterloo for this Science & Business Alumni networking thingy. It was a dinner and schmooze event to “bridge the gap between undergraduate students and successful alumni” It was fun seeing the new students and filling them in on how things were back in our day. Important stuff like why we started the Student Association (since we used to hang out all together anyways…might as well get the school to pay for our social activities!) nicknames of the professors (Neil “Gladman” Richardson and Profeckle) and our strategies of taking every assignment and splitting it up among everyone to get it done. I’m sure those are not the things we were supposed to be enlightening them about! Best part of the night was chatting with Dr. Globus who was the person who designed our program. He’s creating a new program for waterloo. Get this: Science & Aviation. Not only do you graduate with a BSc. But you also get a commercial pilot license, a recreational pilot license AND an pilot instructor license. All I have to say about that one is….Whaaaa?
