It's our first weekend since school began and it was certainly a relaxing one. As was mentioned, there was a party at Ben's on Friday and another gathering here last night. Mostly just lazied around today and will be going to dinner and watching a movie later on this evening.

As well, on Saturday, a couple of us went to one of the larger grocery stores that takes about 10 minutes by bus. A return ticket for the bus cost 1€20, but I probably saved about €10 and was able to spend some time in a much larger selection. Geant was basically a Wal-mart type store and I will probably make a weekly trek there.

Meanwhile, I also spent some time on Saturday applying for co-op positions as they began posting them on the online job board. I applied to three positions for IBM at their Markham office: Public Sector Consulting Analyst, Project Office Analyst, and Marketing Specialist. I am hoping to have a bit of a leg up for these ones as I have already worked for IBM in the past. As well, I also applied for a Human Resources Co-op Student position at J. D. Irving, Limited and for a position at the Public Service Commission of Canada as a Human Resource Analyst.

If I am around, I am also looking into going to a concert on the 10th. Archie Bronson Outfit are coming here, which is strange since they mostly get smaller bands like back in Saint John.

Other than that, enjoyed a nice long weekend and will getting back to the grind on Monday with class and group work.
