Back to normal (?)

Early this week I have submitted my paper for LA 2 and I guess this almost marks the end of the semester. I guess there are still some things to do:

a) To have the revisions and corrections on my M.A.paper done. (This can be very tight since I have until the end of the month (yes, that is next week!!) and I am still waiting for comments from my supervisor. )
b)To do some grading for the final exam of the course I am TAing. (The final is next week on the 28th)
c) To actually go to that final (It is early at the morning, oh oh!)
That' s all and after that, I am done....
So, my life returns to normal. And what is normal? (you may ask...)

Well, I started going to the gym again. (I completed neglected myself the last two weeks and as a result I gained a pound!!) Now, all my joints hurt but this is actually a good thing (no, I am not turning to a masochist!!!)
Today, I went to the department, stayed there a bit, talked to Émile, (and verified the habitual TH tribute),Yukio, and to John and Gustavo at the lab and then headed to the gym.
After I revitalized myself by working out, I went to TH where I found Émile, Erin, Jake, and Heather. Eventually, Heather had to leave (I will do my best to see you on Tuesday) and the rest of us continued chatting about movies and Southpark (a topic I almost know nothing about!!)
At around 8.10 we left TH and moved to Cinema du Park to watch Kung Fu Hustle . The movie is directed by Stephen Chow (who also starrs; he is the guy that directed and starred in Shaolin Soccer, one of Asia's greatest performers) and it is absolutely hilarious!!! Sometimes it was just difficult not to laugh loud (O.K., I didn't do the Lion's Roar) but still, I was noisier than normal...
If you love martial arts, appeciate a good comedy (the Bugs Bunny type) and thrilling Tarantino action rhythms, I strongly suggest this movie. And if you wonder what the Lion's Roar is, I guess you have to see the movie yourselves. (By the way it can be done with a speaker as well!!!!)
After the movie we split up; Erin and Jake going their way and me and Émile going Émile's way. You see, I walked with him up to Mont-Royal Metro (on my own personal free will I have to admit since I thought that would be a good exercise).
Then I got the metro back to Sherbrooke (yes, only one stop) and walked back home.
Isn't the end of the semester lovely??
