deported

Tomorrow the new articling student starts at our firm. So, unofficially, I guess I'm done my year. Things are pretty much lined up for the bar admission, as long as I can make it successfully through this week.

Duncan bought me a really pretty dress last week, for the ceremony. Pretty excited about that. However, also 'exciting' is that my father was deported on the final leg of his journey in a Minneapolis stopover, because he didn't have a transit visa. Just great. In his words, after travelling 25000km in 48 hours, he isn't sure whether he'd want to do the trip again in a hurry. I was apprehensive about him coming, but trust me, him not making it here at all is infinitely worse.

Victoria Day Long Weekend!

I moved to Edmonton a year ago!  So technically I should be done articling now, but with scheduling delays, everyone's schedules, etc, etc, my bar admission won't be til the end of July.  Which is okay.  A slight towards the inevitable taking on of real professional responsbility.  =P 

So what's new?  Oh, yeah.  My dad is coming to my bar admission.  I haven't see him in 6 years.  I hope it doesn't turn into a disaster.  I can certainly see the dangers as well as the potential of him being in Toronto for 3 months with my mom.  Stay tuned for the crazies.
