I cycled from here to Vancouver General and ALMOST all the way back – I was only about ten blocks from home and realized I just didn’t have it, so I also learned (thanks to a really snarly driver) how to get the bike on and off the rack at the front of the bus. Such a lecture your poor correspondent received!
Now I am about to jump on the bus again to go to RCH for my other appointment, and then home. Where I hope to just collapse.
While I was waiting at the clinic, the Luddite called with the best route home. He had guessed when I’d be sitting waiting and planned how to get home with the minimum of hills. I didn’t do it of course, being contrary, but it was ever so sweet of him.
Awww, that IS sweet! Good boy, Luddite.
Too bad he’s ‘about as sociable as a Trappist monk’ present company excepted, ‘f course.
I think you’ve got the sociable portion of the relationship covered. Opposites attract?
I’m not sure about us being opposites. I’m not the most sociable person in the world. Where we differ most is in his almost complete lack of regard for what anybody may think of him based on his appearance or behaviour. I always thought Dr. Filk was extreme, but the Luddite takes cheerful non-conformity to dizzying heights.
I wonder where Spence would fit in on this list? Met Spence for breakfast and we went to Cora’s where I had a beautiful fruit-filled crepe, signed some cheques for Jenn’s LSAT course this summer. Then headed over to Tall Girl’s to try to find jeans — about 4 hours later I emerged with one suitable pair of jeans and workout pants, some tops, a jacket and a scarf.
Oh my god girl…. you raised your precious snowflake to consider law as a career???? Quick, Loki, with the cautionary tales, provisos etc.! PS I took the LSAT but I wasn’t smart enough to get into Law School. Either that or I hadn’t perfected test taking. I didn’t prep for it. I recollect I got 680, but recollection is hazardous at this distance.
This was not my doing. Jenn wants to be a prosecutor in a state that has the death penalty and put away pedaphiles, rapists and murders.
Maybe it’s the prep courses for the LSAT that weren’t perfected yet. Jenn will write the LSAT off-line at the start of the course and again after the course — if her score doesn’t go up after taking the course, she’s entitled to more training, then a full refund. I think you were smart enough to get into law school, but studying for it is serious business (3 months full-time for Jenn then some more in the Fall while back at university) AND of course she has several law courses already behind her in her undergraduate program. (I don’t even know what the LSAT is out of — I’m sure I’ll find out this summer!!)
1200, or it used to be.
It will be interesting to see what score Jenn gets BEFORE she takes the LSAT course!!
