Hotels
So, a funny story from yesterday:
Me and my dad had reserved a Montrealean hotel a few days before we left. However, when we got to the hotel, the clerk seemed to have a very hard time looking us up. He could see us in the system, but there was no reservation intact. We all stood there bewildered for awhile, until he looked at our confirmation papers. He looked concerned and told us that we had registered at a completely different hotel. However, he said that he had some rooms empty so we could change our previous reservation for one at this hotel. Unfortunately, his only rooms were smoking, and we would have to change rooms in the morning. Seeing this as the only option, we continued with the registration process until me and my dad looked at the papers one more time and realized that the hotel we had signed up for was in the town of Laval. Now, the airport we fly into is in Dorval, a suburb of Montreal. However, the company where we are conducting our training is in Laval. The initial problem had arisen when we mixed up the city names and signed up for a hotel in the town of Laval, which was familiar to us because of where our training takes place. We had stayed in the hotel at Dorval before so that's where we expected we had booked this time, which is why we were initially disappointed to have registered at the hotel in Laval. However, we were tickled to find out that the hotel we had actually made a reservation at was a mere five minutes from our daily destination. So, upon learning this, we told the clerk at the Dorval hotel that we would just go stay at Laval, and thus were able to wake up about 30 minutes later than we would have had to otherwise. Hurrah for life!

Haroooo!
I know this probably sounds redundant/deja vu-ish, but I am in Montreal again, for another bout of training in 2020 Technologies' Catalog Tools, Catalog Creation Level 201. I guess this week is going to be pretty tough, so if I never blog again, don't be alarmed. Anyways, some people asked me to post about Germany. If you don't know anything about my Germany trip, just check me out on facebook and look up my Germany pics. If you aren't affiliated with my facebook self, do so now. My name is Tyler Quiring. Anyways, perhaps later I will provide an interesting and in-depth synopsis and synthesis of the information pertaining to my excellent Germany (and Poland) trip.

Summer at Southern
I like staying at Southern in the summer. It's fun, peaceful, and quite eye-opening. It was really interesting to stay beyond the day or two when everyone felt they had to leave right away, because I got a new perspective. I've realized that I don't always need to hurry to go where I want to, but instead can enjoy the current stage I am in anytime. Southern is not nearly as dead in the summer as I had thought, except perhaps for the dorm, which is quite empty. But if you even just go to the lobby to hang out, there are still plenty of people around. The food options aren't nearly as good as during the year, but who eats at college anyway? At any rate, I never knew what it was like here during the summer before, but now I think I really like it.

Our Group
Yo!
Last semester, my sisters and I started the best musical group ever, TAB. We haven't had that much time to record this year here at school, so we plan to do more over the summer and stuff. I did just upload a song five minutes ago, though. But at any rate, check us out:

My keyboard keeps falling.
I sprained my knee. I am now an ordained minister. There was open house in the boy's dorm yesterday. I have a junkload of things to practice before my cello lesson. My sister got a new camera. My other sister got a new phone. My Grandma's birthday was two days ago. I really really need to do laundry. Its about time for me to renew my license and registration. Wind woke me up last night. 2+2=5. The showers are being cleaned with chemicals right now so I can't use them. I'm going to have a cook-off in my friends' apartment tonight. I have to go make a video this afternoon for my human sexuality class. Today is one of the first days I can ever remember where both of my nostrils are generally unplugged. I had a picnic the other day. And, best of all, you are reading this blog post.
