  Late.
I should really go to bed. I'm not going to bed though, because I'm a little too wound up right now. Hopefully typing will let me settle down, but somehow I doubt it. Oh well, doing it anyways.

Ottawa is a really cool city at night, especially during the fog. I was walking over the canal on the way to fencing tonight, and I just had to store Parliament in my memory as "cool things to see". Just the way everything was lit up, from the spotlight coming out of the middle, the Peace Tower all lit from within, and the roof of the east (not sure...) building all lit from underneath made everything look quite wicked. Add the fog to that, with the clouds forming almost a halo over everything upgraded the image from wicked to jawdroppingly wow. It's times like that that I wish I had my digicam now, but then the fiscal part of my brain reminds me of the extra taxes should I buy it in Ontario. Also, since I can't take it to/from work right now, and since that's probably when the majority of my photos would be taken, there's not much point as of yet. Soon though... soon.

In a side note, apparantly one of my marks from last term, specifically CMPE300, (the only real software engineering course I have taken so far) got upgraded from a B to a B+ as a result of the U of A's relative incompetence with the newly-adopted 4 point letter-grade system. This pleases me.
