It’s +6 degrees out. People are wearing T-shirts and eating ice cream in front of the engineering building. Sure, there are still snowbanks around and the boards for the skating rink are still up, but I noticed that there are buds on the trees in front of the James Admin building, and even bigger ones in front of Redpath. I also noticed one of my profs walking outside puffing a big pipe, which was cool.

And further more, I just got permission from the Associate Dean to do a philosophy minor, should I so choose. I might even be able to wrangle it so I can pay Quebec tuition my last year. I’m still gathering information about it, and I might not decide to do anything differently in the end. I know my mom and dad seem dead set against it, but I’m very happy to have the option.
