I almost forgot about co-op.. Probably because I don't think I'll get in.  My interview sucked ass.  Anyways, maybe you should get your mom a hand cream (a nice one).  My mom's hands are always dry/cracked from doing house chores and she really digs lotions.  It would be more practical than say, an expensive purse, if your mom's the type to save nice things for special occasions.  

I don't know when I'll be coming back.. My aunt's baby is due on the 21st of June but I hear first-borns always come a week later than when it's due.  I'm so not looking forward to course planning..  Can you believe we're already in 3rd year?  We have to get "real" jobs pretty soon.  I'm nervous just thinking about it.. >.<
