Gillian - Hanging in Toronto

Hi,
Today am in the big city doing errands and homework. Did you know they didn't offer me snacks on my air Canada flight? They had drinks but no pretzels or biscuits. Twas disappointing.

I got to my aunts place no problem and got some reading done on the TTC. I brought two textbooks with me and one regular book. The book is called 36 children by Herbert Kohl. It is about a teacher guy in Harlem school in the 1960's and his class of underprivileged students.

Today I went to the bank for hmm this keyboard doesn't have the euro's symbol. I got euro's. Then I took my aunts car for an oil change and it drives/sounds way nicer. While waiting I was reading my astronomy textbook. I got a whole section about star sizes, surface temperature and luminosity done. The majority of star classification systems were created by women.

I biked to the library to use their computers. The set up is not to any ergonomic standards. The seats and computer screens are not adjustable so everyone had to hunch over and the seats are bolted to the floor so I had to sit on the edge of my seat to properly reach the keyboard and mouse. Tsk tsk. It's almost as if they don't want you to stay long.

I am going to the gym now.
Ttfn.
