I donno where to start...

Have you missed me?  Have you?
Well I haven't really missed writing. I've been to busy.  But I'll do my best to catch you all up.



I have:
seen a heron and a little bitty rabbit up close
herded geese
flew kites
watched despicable me (good movie. very cute)
helped with wedding planning
went to a crazy concert with all kinds of alternative people (very good for people watching)
saw Mission's historic park where the mission originally was
drank coffee on a huge log looking out over the river
tried out my hairstyle for the weddings
worked on my tan for the weddings
stargazed from a slightly closed beach... whoops!
attended an AA meeting with work (so interesting, i might start going just to learn)
and had a lice scare!!

Yes you read that last one right.  Lice.  They had an outbreak at the residential program so I wasn't going to take any chances.  I shampooed tonight and washed all my bedding.  The funny thing is I remember the smell of this shampoo from the last time I had lice when i was like 10 or something.  How is that for smell memory?  Good news is I did the whole brush your whole head with the tiny brush and I didn't find even one!  So maybe this was really just for peace of mind... but not worrying is worth it.

I also am getting super excited about all these weddings.  I have one this saturday, one the next and the last in August!  I can not believe all my friends are getting married!  How can they be ready?  I'm not ready!  AHHH!!  Ok. Maybe I'm not freaking out that bad. But it is a mixture of apprehension and absolute euphoria for them.  I really just can't believe I'm old enough that my friends are getting married!

And I have other plans for the summer too.  There is a weekend at a cabin on the ocean, a weekend in Victoria, and some other parties going on too!  So the summer is going to finish fast.

Lots of Work


So work has kept me busy busy busy.  Tonight i finally had a chance to go out and check out a new path I heard about nearby. It goes through an undeveloped area that I'm sure has a story behind it.  There is a street that goes up halfway... and stops with a little spot where I'm sure some kids have been having a nice illegal time.  Along the way though there were tons of daisy's (or maybe they are the camomile stuff that is a horrible weed in Alberta?) And I found a rose plant that looked very out of place in the undergrowth but was beautiful. I'm wondering if they didn't start development and that is how rose got there?






It's going to be an interesting week. I start one day job and end up working a double shift.  But if I've done my calculations right working graveyard shifts for the next two weeks is going to make me $1000.  I think loosing a bit of sleep now won't seem like such a big deal when I'm in Slovakia at YWAM.  

Lastly, we also watched Book of Eli this weekend.. and I didn't get to watch the end of it, but the part I watched was really good.  If you can stomach alot of hand to hand combat and bloody grossness you will really like this movie.  It has an interesting story line (although I'm not sure if the ending makes up for the number of heads I saw looped off).  And we ate cinnamon buns with chocolate chips in them. It was amazing!

Got it figured out

So after a lot of research on how on earth to work blogger and get my page to look pretty I still haven't figured out how to make that top title look nice.  But overall I'm happy.

Yesterday I finished the last exam of my undergrad career which was such a great feeling. Especially since I totally killed the course. I'm excited to see an A+ on that transcript.  Apparently I was made to be a sociologist. I even watched a movie that one of my profs told me to (one flew over to cuckoo's nest) and I felt like such a good sociologist looking at it through theory.  Good movie by the way.  A great way to finish off a psych degree: to look at the history of psych institutions and treatments.  Such a sad movie but somehow I really enjoyed watching it.

So since I'm done school I have time to do whatever I want. Woot! So off I go to have a day doing stuff in Edmonton. Its been quite awhile since I had time to do that.
