Scottish Deep Thoughts

I ate a lot of haggis, neeps and tatties tonight. The school put on a Robert Burns dinner. It was ok, but unusual to have a "dry" Burns night. The food was awesome but the singing and dancing gets awkward and uncomfortable quite quickly. More drinking, less dancing.

I suppose the Canadian voting public and I have been having a similar experiences as of late... We have both been fed things that we didn't know much about or didn't care to know about. Both of us have been subjected to long speeches in languages that I don't understand and seemed to focus around creating some semblance of a national identity. And finally, we both know that Robert Burns Day and another Canadian federal election will inevitably happen again this time next year!
