Reading Week in Ottawa!

Here is a little glimps into my adventures in Ottawa this past week. We had a ton of fun and actually learned a few things about the Canadian government. I was actually able to sit in on questioning period of the House of Commons... it is basically a time for each party to tear apart the other. I found it quite interesting to say the least and who knows, maybe I will end up there with my internship!! HA! Another big experience for me was the bitter cold that I have experienced this past week. Today it got down to -20 but with the windchill it turned out to be -30. If you know ANYTHING about me, you know I do NOT do cold... so that is probably my one and only complaint! Anyhoo, we fly back to the west coast tomorrow morning and head back to hit the books... oh joy! These are a few pictures from the week... enjoy!!

We are Sparta(ns)!

This past weekend TWU was able to host both the mens volleyball and mens basketball playoffs and boy was it a weekend to remember. It was a triple-header (best 2 out of 3) weekend for both teams and a 3rd game was necessary in both cases. TWUSA (TWU's student association) organized a "Spartan 300" night on Friday and it was a complete success. Instead of me trying to descirbe the amazing-ness of that night I have uploaded a video for you to check out how it all went down! All in all it was a pretty good weekend. The mens basketball won and I believe they have now secured a spot at nationals... however, the mens volleyball took a heartbreaking loss in the 5th set of the last game... Don't worry though, we will be back bigger and better next year!!

PS. You will have to excuse the commentary and screaming in the video... I was just oh, so excited! :) Enjoy!
