Thanx for all the emails and blogs. I'm not gonna lie to you guys, it was pretty demoralizing having to spend your entire birthday in university building which resembles a fallout shelter. Do you know that feeling... the one where you know your walking into a shit storm but there is no way around it... well i had that feeling the entire day.
I had to go to moot court which is a mock court. It went as well as it could, the judges tore me apart but no worse than anyone else. I think i held my own, maybe even better than most, but i'm biased. I got out of court around 10:30 pm. So I basically had about an hour and half to celebrate my birthday. In all honestly, i was 90% celebrating moot court being over and only 10% celebrating my birthday. I spent the rest of the night hanging out with the judges. It was a tradition that the judges buy the students a beer after the trial. In any case, i took the liberty of getting drunk off their dime... and it felt good!
My entire time in Vancouver seems like one giant vacation. Everyone tells me when you go back home... it won't feel the same. I take my fair share of ribbing from my classmates about being from Saskatchewan... but I don't expect them to understand why I love our perfectly shaped province. I can't explain rider pride to them or why we call hoodies bunny hugs.
I never want stop feeling at home in Regina. Anyways, thanks for remembering my birthday guys... every blog, email and call felt like a brief moment of home... and it was desperately needed by this home sick kid.
