Today was the first TCF Exec meeting. The new exec is now completely official. It's super scary. Tonight I have to edit my essay for my OE class... the third edit! So this time it should be somewhat easier (hopefully).

I'm planning a trip to Toronto, mostly to browse used book and cd stores, so if either of those (or both!) are up your alley, the trip will be on Wednesday April, 26 2006. We'll be going early-ish and probably taking the midnight bus home. (Lots of fun!) The more the merrier so save your pennies. The reason we're going on Wednesday is because the Greyhound bus offers a reduced ticket rate (around $10) if you bring a canned food item for the food bank. Anyway, it would be nice if you told me in advance if you're coming, and buy your ticket early. You'll also need to buy a TTC day pass, lunch, and supper in Toronto, so in total that's about $40 from the get-go, just so you're aware.
