This past weekend Jen and I went on a short road trip, to visit some friends in Parry Sound. It was an awesome weekend, I really like Parry Sound. Lots to see and do, we built an inukshuk! We had a great visit with our friends and a relaxing time away.

On the way to Parry Sound, Jen and I recommend taking the White Falls Rd exit and heading towards Severn Falls, you will end up in a place called Big Chute. In Big Chute you will find a marine railway, it is the only marine railway of its kind in North America, quite a sight. Continue Reading…

College Thoughts

Welcome Back!

I thought today I would just type some thoughts about college. As I am currently sitting in class, a few things pop to mind. Especially in this class, we have watched a few movies, so far we have seen Juno, Little Miss Sunshine, and today we get to watch Precious. Movies are just the tip of the iceberg, we have seen many short clips from Two and A Half Men, Big Bang Theory, and All in the Family.

Now I can sort of understand why we watch these things in class because this class is about family systems, and I know that my prof is trying to give us examples of families that have issues so we can understand the concepts better but do we have to watch feature length films?

Sometimes I feel like my tuition could be much better spent than watching films in class. On the bright side, I have my laptop, so at least I can surf the net!
