A Few Quick Notes 112

-Today is another pretty nice day in Montreal. Fortunately, things have started to cool down and feel a little more autumnal. For a while I was worried that I would be suffering through several weeks of summer-like conditions. Hopefully the newly overcast sky won’t lead to rain or any other form of precipitation in the near future.

-Several days ago I received my special ballot for the upcoming Newfoundland and Labrador general election. This is striking because the writ has not yet been dropped and candidacies made official. If I had been on the ball it would have been possible for me to vote in late August, many weeks before the campaign officially started.

-The mouse or mice that Nithum and I discovered several days ago does not seem to have gone away as we had hoped. Nor do any of the traps set by the exterminator seem to have worked yet. I know this because at about 5:40 AM I was woken by the sound of something being chewed or nibbled on, seemingly about 12 inches from my head. Upon figuring out exactly what it was that woke me I moved my sleeping pad to the centre of the floor and tried to get back to sleep. Unfortunately, the discovery had startled me enough that returning to sleep was more problematic than I had hoped.

-Tonight will mark the beginning of my second week back at work. Though it is likely that tonight and tomorrow night will be a little quieter than the equivalent days last week, I do hope that things are still pretty busy.

-Though my first class was on Tuesday I am already done for the week. So far they seem pretty good. Most importantly, the assignments seem to be worthwhile, something that, unfortunately, has not always been my experience in library school.
