milestone: last first day of class

today september 11th, 2006 was officially my last first day of class. (the winter semester one doesn't count.)

in celebration of this momentous, never to be repeated occasion, becky, katie, ashley, napier, turnbull, and i went to the metro toronto zoo.

'twas a beautiful day to be walking about, enjoying the sunshine, enjoying the company of good friends, and being amazed at God's wonderful creation. i can't wait for heaven when there will be no bars between me and the cute baby giraffes and the fluffy white polar bears. (sidenote: polar bears have THE cutest bums on this planet.)

the moment of the day was when becky accidentally dropped her nalgene into the kangaroo pen, and ashley came to the rescue by jumping in. huzzah!

but i actually did go to a class today at night. History of the Islamic World. i couldn't hear the prof properly, and when i did i didn't quite understand her pronounciation. i kept hoping that the textbook will come through and clarify things. nevertheless this will prove to be a valuable class.
