Welcome to 'Buzzcouver'!!!

Ah....December in Vancouver.....There's a buzz (energy) coming from the Cambridge students as they gear up to take the exam this weekend.  Mark, our Cambridge exam guru, is confident that they will do well, but you can't blame them for feeling nervous.  The buzz (news) on the street is that the Cambridge exam is no walk in the park...We wish them success! Meanwhile, the buzz (feeling) on the street in Vancouver is one of pride and satisfaction since our Canadian Football League team, the BC Lions, buzzed into (to come in unexpectedly) the playoffs after losing their first six games of the season.  Not only did they bring home the Grey Cup, but the championsip game was hosted in beautiful Vancouver in our newly renovated stadium.  The other team, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, buzzed off (left) quickly after a 34-23 defeat at the hands of our Lions...Go Lions!!!! Everyone was feeling buzzed (energetic, intoxicated) last night after the Lions hosted a huge free party at Rogers Arena, and some of our students who attended are buzzing (talking a lot) about their experience checking out Canadian football culture.   Today, thousands of men across Canada are definitely feeling a temperature difference on their faces this first day of December now that "Movember" is over.  The buzz (sound) of thousands of shavers drowned out  the happy cheers of girlfriends, wives, sisters and daughters everywhere.  Thank goodness - just in time for our Christmas Party!  Only seven days and counting....Give your friends a buzz (call) and get them to come see what all the buzz (excitement) is about!
