Well, this past weeked was action packed for me:

I went to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts to see the permanent collection with a group of students from a McGill club. We had a great time and it was a wonderful activity for a grey/rainy Saturday. Following the museum visit, we went to Bombay Palace for Indian buffet and it was delicious.

In the evening on Saturday I went to see my friend Myrrhine perform in the a cappella group Effusion. They are a fabulous group of singers. Apparently the group recently placed in an international competition and will be representing the Northeast corridor at a competition at the Lincoln Center in NYC later this month! I hope that they do well.

Sunday was my roommate Laura's 20th birthday and a bunch of us went out to a lovely dinner with her. She discovered a chic French restaurant on St Denis and we went there for a happy birthday evening. The restaurant is called L'Express and has scrumptious food and an extensive wine list. The French waiters are adorable as well. I ate une petite salade verte, ravioli au saumon et asperges, et tarte au chocolat. I almost died and went to heaven.

This the last week of lectures for me. I'm staying on top of everything and am preparing for exam time. I am very proud of my marks on the three midterms in neuroscience, especially since they are solely multiple choice exams. This week I shall also receive my mark on the history essay that I wrote. For those of you who are curious about the topic, my title was "Alchemical Contributions to Early Modern Science During the Scientific Revolution." The course is HIST319 The Scientific Revolution and my professor, an elderly British gentleman, was very lenient about what the students chose as topics.

Hope all is well.
