Sweaty and steamy times

Hello all! It’s my last night in Vegas, and I’m excited to get home. First things first…
Judy, you were in my dream this morning! You were marking my Phil and Ethical issues paper and gave me a 50%. I didn’t understand why, until I looked at what I had handed in. There were misspelled words, and there were parts written in 1 point font. It was too small to even see that they were words! I was sad. I also got back my thesis and got a C! I was so upset, I kept thinking, “she nominated this for an award?!” Funny stuff, I still remember your face as you were trying to hand them out, and it was all getting confused. When I woke up, I had to stop and think for a minute.
Today I went to the YMCA, and had an interesting time. I ended up speaking to a guy there, who asked me “what do you think we can do about Iraq?” He told me his plan, which is too long, complex and unintelligent to even bother writing. He also asked me what Canadians think about the US (to which I said “not very much”), and if we had dollars made of gold. Oh, and he also asked me “do you have a lot of these Muslim people there?”(I told him lots, and that they are nice). He then told me about how their Koran tells them to hate people and kill (I tried my best to educate him about the truth though). He then asked if we have a lot of Mexicans, and I told him “not really”. He responded by saying “I’m going to go down to Mexico and hand out directions to Canada!” We both laughed at that one, but I think for different reasons. Oh, and he also called his pot belly an “illegal alien” (I’ll write a rant about this Mexico alien thing at a later date). He did admit that the world must think that the US is pretty stupid after Iraq. Funny guy. Another guy at the gym exclaimed about the administration in the US: “All these damn Liberals!” Wow, how uneducated and Conservative is he! After that I then went into the sauna and steam room for my first time ever. Wow, those things are hot, but relaxing. Fun times. I’m also a wiz with the buses now too. Too bad I’m leaving tomorrow…ya right!
Today my Grandmother had a small freak out because she apparently did not like the dress my Mom wore yesterday when the neighbours came over. It got all the way to “dis is because you just tink of me as stepmother!” I think she’s a little nuts. Anyways, next time I write I’ll be in Canada, the land of the free (thinkers).
Tonight I'm off to Goodtimes with Mike!
