Hey hey!
Just a few friendly reminders for you:
1) Attempt to clean your units before you leave for the holidays. By that I mean throw out any food that'll go bad (vegetables, fruits, dairy, etc.) if you're not going to eat it. Or throw it in a freezer or take it home. Last thing you wanna do is come home after the holidays to a smelly house with surprise visitors as well. With that in mind, make sure to throw your garbage and recycling into the dumpster.
2) Conserve Energy. (Something Al Gore's passionate about..as we saw in "An Inconvenient Truth." Global warming. Look at the Christmas we're potentially having. It's most likely gonna be green...which is alright..but not the same. And all this crazy temperature changes.
Anyway the point is, winter's here, keep your windows closed if you have your heater on. Or, turn down your heater and open up your window a bit for some fresh air. But remember when you leave to close your window and turn the heat down so the heat's not blasting for the whole week.
3) New Duty Don Cell Phone
Please make note that effective immediately, the duty don cell phone # has been changed to 519-500-3037...so hopefully you haven't been calling the old phone number.
4) Happy Holidays! I will be coming around tomorrow and Thursday to see you off (hopefully I haven't missed you yet). Good luck to all the co-op students who are going on a work term. I hope you enjoyed your 4 months here at CLV. Of course, I look forward to seeing the rest back from holidays. I'm very much excited to hear about your holiday travels and adventures!
Take care,
Cecilia

Gingerbread House Decorating Contest
Gingerbread House Decorating Contest
So I mentioned at our dinner a few weeks back that I wanted to have a gingerbread decorating contest. I haven't forgotten about it. Just looking for the right time. I understand everyone who has exams to write is writing exams...but I'm going to have it anyway...cuz it'll be a fun break and great laughs!
Here's what I need from you...
If you're interested in decorating a gingerbread house ...and you will get to keep it after you make it...
Get yourself together with 2 or 3 others to make a team. Give your team a name. Email me your team name and the team member's names. I will take the first four team entries. Also, email a few dates and times (it'll most likely be in the evening) when you would like to have this contest...whether you're coming to watch or decorate. Sunday Dec. 17 doesn't work for me.
Cool?? Awesome. And there may be prizes................key word is "MAY"
Cheers,
Cecilia

An Inconvenient Truth
Need a break from studying? Interested in the effects of global warming on our environment?
Fan of Al Gore?
Did you answer 'Yes' to any of the above questions?
If you did, then you should join Zara and I this Wednesday December 13, 2006 at 8pm at our place to watch Al Gore's documentary "The Inconvenient Truth". I've seen it once and ready to watch it again. I believe he has a very important message to tell everyone who lives on this planet.
Here's a bit more about the movie...
This powerful documentary looks at Al Gore's efforts to bring attention to the serious environmental threat posed by global warming.
"[I]lluminating, fascinating and sometimes frightening. A thought-provoking cautionary tale that is also lively and entertaining, the film showcases the dedication, warmth and, yes, charm of the former vice president." (USA Today)
"One of the most exciting and necessary movies of the year..." (New York Times)
"An eco-horror film that is anything but escapist entertainment..." (Sight and Sound)
4 stars out of 5 -- "Even more than a call to action, it's a fascinating glimpse at the leader he might have been and, if rumours are to be believed, may yet become." (Total Film)
"[A] movie that joins recent polemics like BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE and SUPER SIZE ME in jolting the heart and gut as much as the mind, by entertaining while educating." -- Grade: A- (Entertainment Weekly)
"The former veep delivers his message with the ardor of a true activist." (Rolling Stone)
Yeah exams are craziness. If you can plan your day and come watch even an hour of it or something, it'll be well worth your time.
Hope to see you on Wednesday! Bring a blanket, pillow, mug and get comfy.
We'll feed you some snacks too.
