In a good way

:-(

Aw man, missed my obligatory Canada Day post.

Making a timetable for university is going really badly as so many of the half courses have only one set of times for lectures, making the placement of labs at a reasonable time nearly impossible. The organic chem course had the brilliant idea of making us choose one of two lab times: 8:30am-12pm or 6:30pm-10pm. Brilliant.

It's nice to be free from being totally governed by Britain, those silly Alaska-yielding fiends. I mean friends. The Americans didn't even appreciate getting Alaska. They just wanted it for the heck of it.

The news of the British North America Act, 1867, was nervously received in Washington, DC. It would create, on July 1, 1867, "one dominion under the name of Canada," and this led to expressions of "grave misgivings on the establishment of a monarchial state to the north" in what Canadians then called "the republic to the south." (See McNaughton's Short History of Canada.) U.S. Secretary of State William Seward thus urged, and the United States Senate thus approved, the treaty authorizing the purchase of Alaska from Imperial Russia for US$7,200,000 on April 9, 1867. The United States took possession and the American flag was raised over Alaska on October 18, which is commemorated as Alaska Day.

The purchase was unpopular in the United States, where it became known as "Seward's Folly" or "Seward's Icebox." Alaska celebrates the purchase each year on the last Monday of March, calling it Seward's Day.

Canada is now 138 years young. Go Canada! Go independance! Go Canadian flag which is now slightly inaccurate and it's all Nunavut's fault! (Referring to the 11 points on the maple leaf)

Delayed Canada Day

Whee, we're officially 137 years young! This should've been here yesterday but I forgot.

No Toogood fireworks for me, so I went to play with my own fireworks and sparklers.

There's not much else to say.
