Yes! The Grad Club is having a mascot design contest!

This was from last Tuesday's Western University convocation. I was so happy I participated as the Graduate Student Representative to Western University's Board of Governors (I did two convocations and a formal dinner on the Tuesday.)
I'm in the left (stage left) of the framed shot. Congrats!

I'm attending my first opening of a play, ever, tonight at the Stratford Festival.
I'm catching the Scottish play. I hope the characters patch things up before bad things happen...
Also witches.
