My life is currently boring and unchanging. I hardly leave the house (I swear I'm getting cabin fever), I keep looking for jobs and applying for jobs and not hearing back on any of them, it's very frustrating.
So let's talk about news elsewhere!
In national news Toronto has banned plastic bags. The mayor wanted to get rid of the 5cent fees on plastic bags and then a council member went "Hey, why don't we just get rid of them altogether?" and the rest of council thought "That's a great idea!" So they banned plastic bags while the mayor facepalmed and started contemplating the effects of this hasty decision.
In local news plans for the new downtown arena continue and seem to be slowly gaining more support than when it was initially proposed. The city is also gearing up for the Edmonton Indy which takes place this weekend! I think, I don't really pay attention to racing that much.
In weather we are expecting rain throughout central and southern Alberta for the rest of the week. Generally appreciated throughout the prairies but a bit concerning in towards the mountains where a couple of rivers are already spilling over their banks just from the seasonal run-off and snow melt.
In sports news (other than the Indy) UEFA Euro 2012 starts tomorrow and I'm super excited!!! I'd love to see Netherlands win it all but I'm thinking it'll be a Spanish win, Germany in 2nd, Netherlands in 3rd, and England 4th. We'll see how it goes though, it'll be an exciting few weeks!
Well I think that's all I have for news.
DFTBA,
