Dog Day

This past week's highlight has to be the visit from some furry friends. I live in student accommodations called Nido. The Nido staff are great about planning community events. Most of the time these are parties with bands or DJs. Those events are not usually my scene. But this past Wednesday Nido hosted Dog Therapy Day and that was lovely. Ned and Dash were brought by an organization that specializes in cheering people up with a little K9 attention. This was a lot of fun. Ned is a German Shepard mix and Dash a King Charles Spaniel. Dash, coincidently is also the name of Queen Victoria's favorite King Charles Spaniel. Many of the residents gathered in the lobby to hang out with our tail wagging visitors. Treats were provided so we could bribe the pups in our direction. It was fun to hang out with the dogs and unwind a little.

My focus has been and continues to be the final case study. It's due on Friday and I'm moving into the final stretch. These case study projects are all about research and academic rigor. My natural writing style is not the tone and technique that is needed so I have been visiting the writing centre at school to make sure I'm on the right track. I'm feeling good and ready for these last few days of work on this project. After which, I will move on to the last two assignments of the course.

Next weekend, there are bound to be some celebrations in having finished the case studies. I'm looking forward to them!

Take care!
