Before I go, a friend of mine sent me this info: You can enjoy the wonderful taste on M&Ms and help Breast Cancer Research. They have created a special package and Pink and White M&Ms which will be available online and at local retailers. For each package sold, they will give 50 cents to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. It’s time to sweeten up your life, and the lives of many women suffering from BC.
Yes, blogging from school… what a leech! Well, I’m done with my group work and I have to wait until 7 p.m. for my Anthropology class, so. I could’ve gone home, rest and come back, but I didn’t feel like taking the train and spending two hours of my life “sur la route”. I’m now in the process or answering e-mails and looking for information for my different projects and I’m really happy about the fact that a guy from the Kennesaw University was absolutely nice and sent me copies of his articles about physiology.
I’m deciding what to do. Stay here, until I’m numb in front of the computer or go to the other building, lounge in the cafeteria and read my book about the Iroquois. I guess the second option is more interesting, academically speaking. We’ll see.
How do bears, bees, frogs and other creatures stay alive in a barren, subzero landscape? — That’s what I’m going to learn about when I start reading Winter World, a book I found in the “Nouveautés” section at the local library. My leisure reading time is very restricted these days, but I went looking for documentation to work on my Climatology report and I couldn’t resist the new arrivals. What a nice surprise to see a book about Biology, especially related to one of the classes I’m taking this trimester which main subject is animal adaptations. I’m anticipating it’s going to be really useful :-) Bon, je vais faire dodo, bonne nuit !
Colombian coffee bean growers began an effort Tuesday to boost income, opening their own coffee shop in Manhattan. Take that, Starbucks! ;-) “New York’s 2,000-square-foot store, which can seat about 200 customers, will be considered the flagship of an eventual 300 Juan Valdez stores worldwide.” — Now I’m eagerly waiting for Juan Valdez to come and open a shop here in Montreal. Wouldn’t that be lovely?
