Gone for a year in 8 days.
Love you all.
Hey everyone,
Starting immediately I will be offering high school tutoring for Math 10, 20 and 30, Physics 20 and 30. Applied math, junior high and parents of elementary students are also welcome to contact me.
I will be offering general tutoring, exam prep, as well as diploma review.
My qualifications: I'm nearly finished the second year of my Bachelors of Science (Honours) in Physics program, at the U of C. If you need a younger child tutored in math, I have a great deal of experience working with children (please contact me for further details).
Willing to travel or meet publicly. Flexible scheduling. Group rates available!

I'm tagging pretty much everyone in my list in this note, because I really don't want to accidentally neglect to tell someone. So, here goes:
I realized the other day that I have neglected to tell everyone I'm going to Sweden.
So, I'm going to Sweden, you know, the country under the testicle looking thing called "Norway". I'll be gone as of late August and return in late August.
I'll be going to school there at Lund University. I'll be getting a bunch of physics course credit (although, not quite as much as I'd get here), and a couple of humanities credits (Swedish course, and a course on Viking history, awesome, no?).
From what I can sort out they don't have traditional residence. Essentially they seem to own a bunch of buildings around the city and rent them to students, although some of them are close to the form of traditional rez.
The town of Lund has a population of about 76 000, the majority (40k, I think) of which are students. It has an area of 24.99 km^2 (Calgary has an area of 726.5 km^2).
It's located in the very southern tip of Sweden, almost directly across from Copenhagen. It was established in 1666. It's really close to the slightly more known town of "Malmo". It's about a six hour drive to Stockholm. About 10 km from the coast (Maybe that'll be my motivation to run every day?)
My motivation for it is that it's an experience I may not have the opportunity to fulfill later in life when I have a career or a family or whatever other commitments come with adulthood. From there I'll be in a good position to visit some of the other places I'd really like to see: England, Israel, China. These extra trips being the reason I'm likely to stay until the end of August (If you want to travel Europe next summer, let me know!)
Of course I have my doubts about it:
I'm going to miss all of my friends, and Jenna, here more than you guys can imagine. But, I also take great pride in all of you because I know that I'll be able to come back after a year and still be as close with you guys as ever. It also may cause some trouble with regards to my education, being in an entirely different living and learning situation.
But, I'm casting these fears aside with the frame of mind that it will never make sense, or be practical to do anything new or adventurous. Ultimately the familiar and normal is what's easiest. But reflecting back on my life as an old man I can't see myself regretting having tried new things and having immersed myself in new and exciting (and terrifying!) situations.
I strongly encourage you all to visit me, even if you aren't one of my closer friends. It'd be nice to see some familiar faces. I know some of you guys will be abroad (and possibly close to me?) next year too, so it'd be nice to see some of you guys too! I'll post up information on what breaks I'll be returning home for and what breaks I'll have available for you guys to come for an extended stay.
PS all of the other "So, I'm going to Sweden" notes are copies, Facebook limits how many people you tag.
PPS
Also on a more practical note: I'll have another room for rent in my house in Ranchlands for the course of my travels. If you're interested in it let me know. Alternatively, if anyone has the money I might just rent the whole house out to you and you sub-rent it, to make yourself some cash.
PPPS If you're looking for flight info, check Malmo, and Copenhagen too.
Let's get over it, Canada didn't burn down the white house. 1867 >> 1812, sorry guys.

I wonder if I can write a clever and worthwhile blog entry to entertain friends, or at least help them pass time as theirs do when I'm really bored.
Nope..nevermind.
Irony
Hypocrite
Ignorant
Belligerent
The Andy Warhol picture was mine first, and I made a more clever comment than yours (it has layers- like an onion... and an ogre) so sukkit long and sukkit hard.
Lawl. Maybe I should quit offending randoms. They ultimately just end up spamming me back and then ignoring me so I can't even share my clever retorts with the world *sad*
Okay, so I have about 100 friends on Nexopia, I probably actually only know 90% of them, still speak to 30% of those and like about 15% of those, considering only about 5% to actually be friends.
When I get really bored I still feel the urge to read my 'friends' blog entries. HOW THE HELL AM I TO KEEP UP WITH THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS, SUCCESSES, MOODS, SONGS LISTENED TO, FOODS EATEN, RESTAURANTS VISITED, ADVENTURES PARTAKEN IN, HATED TEACHERS, LIKED TEACHERS, BOYFRIENDS, GIRL FRIENDS, BEST FRIENDS, EX-FRIENDS, ARGUING FRIENDS, LOVING FRIENDS, HOOK UPS, FUCK UPS, SUCK UPS AND TEENAGE ANGST OF 100 PEOPLE?!

Seriously, this shit is like house, you miss one episode you might as well have missed the whole season.
