BP Christmas Party soon!

Wow, how quickly a week can go by. This was one of the busiest weeks ever. Most of it was spent writing up my thesis proposal intro, which I finally finished today (it took the whole day to proof read!). Now I just have an exam to write tomorrow, and then I will be off to the Christmas party. And then it will be Vegas! How great is that?
Work was a blast yesterday, even though I was so sleepy. Jackie worked, which was great, but Nancy was off again (for her Bday).
In election news, this week we saw Harper make a broad range of promises: changing the charter to not include gay marriage anymore, cutting the GST by 1%, and improving healthcare. He said “no tax is a good tax, and I don’t like any taxes.” Kinda scary when you think of all the services that ride on those ‘bad’ taxes. How the hell does he plan on improving health care? Oh, privatisation! Now it makes sense. Honestly though, he is doing well. He has taken the leadership role, and is making promises that people will care about (except the gay marriage thing). I think he might just win a minority.
New pet peeve of the day: Coughers! I know you’ve heard them. There those people who cough every few minutes, like clockwork. It’s that dry cough, with the mouth wide open. No covering of the mouth (probably because they cough so much). What’s wrong with these people? What they hell are they coughing for? It’s not like they’ve got phlegm or something. They cough more in one day then I do all year, honestly. There was once a female cougher on the bus, and I had to move because I was going to throw up all over her. She had mastered the cough, sticking her tongue out in rhythm with each open mouth cough.
Oh, and I finally listened to Madonna’s new cd. Actually, I’ve heard it playing everywhere I go: at the mall, at Ego (hair salon), at the gym, and in school. And now it plays in my home. I think the cd is great. Better than her last. Who knew she could come back so strong after American Life? She did! That’s it.
