Classes and Fun

Well I am alive, for those of you who thought otherwise. I am taking a much needed break from studying. I am getting used to this school stuff still, although it is only the 2nd week... I'm assuming it will only get busier. I wanted to also say that it IS possible to comment without signing up as a user. Just comment as an anonymous guest, and in your comment say who you are!! Sound good? Anyways, I really can't write a long time because I must get back to Guinevere and Lancelot's romance. Ahh chivalry.

Celebration of Light Finale

That's where I went tonight. It was great! Jason and I sat on this crazy steep hill, so I didn't have to worry about someone tall sitting in front of me and blocking my view! It was a lot of fun, we had a picnic lunch, complete with little wee ants. That part kinda sucked... :) Earlier in the day I went to Joel & Courtney's wedding. About 2 weekends ago was Sara and Nate's wedding. And next month is Jason's sister Tara's wedding. So many weddings! I'm going to go broke! Nah, I'm happy, I love going to weddings, they're so fun. It's funny, I'd never been to a single wedding until last year, now I'm going to one every month for 3 consecutive months. And I know there will be plenty more after. I guess it's just that age...
There was a guy today at the fireworks, sitting on a bench at the bottom of Ol' Steep Hill, and he smiled and nodded and gave thumbs up and 'the gun' to everyone. He also nodded in appreciation to every plane that went by. Jason and I thought he must really love life. Either that or he was high as a kite... We went with loving life.
Oh, last weekend we all went to Oregon to go surfing! It was crazy fun! I got some big waves, and a really big bruise like I got last year... (My arm isn't long enough to carry the board under my arm, so I have to rest it on my hip...) There was also a crazy time playing in the muddy sand when the tide went out. I want to put the pics up on my photobucket site. I'll let you know when I get them there... :S
Tomorrow I am going biking. I want to ride platinum. It's probably the newest trail at the woodlot... it's crazy though, really well built, with a ton of super-crazy-manda-will-never-try-these stunts. But I like the b-line, because it's just as well built as the actual trail. It just takes a while to climb up to. But that's ok. Hopefully it's a nice day!
Anyways I should really get some sleep if I expect to wake up for church in the morning. :)

I gotta get better at updating

I'm horrible at this. I have to make it a habit... I constantly think of insightful things through the day to write here, then forget when I get home. Or just can't be bothered. I'm so lazy. Anyways... news!! I got a new car!!! It's super hot!!! It's a 94 Suzuki Sidekick. It's red, and it's a convertible. I'm soooo happy. It was an awesome deal. I will hopefully have it for a long time. I need to think of a good name for her. Yes, it's a her, because she's cute, and SO HOT! haha! My old car was a hunk of junk, stubborn, and ugly so it was a boy. :D haha! It's name was Norm... Mostly because it had a button that said "Norm" for normal...

Give me ideas for HOT car names :D

Whew! hot!

It's cooking hot right now... I'm trying to stay up late so that i sleep semi-late tomorrow (I work at 7pm) I really should be packing right now but I'm so tired I think I'm just going to hang around for a while and do it tomorrow. I'm packing for my trip to Sun Peaks this weekend!! We are going biking at their new bike park, and staying at Jason's cousin's house. I'm super excited, I even got half the night off on my last night shift! So I actually get to sleep!! I get to go to jason's and sleep over there so that we can leave really early in the morning.
I have more to write but I'm just not motivated today... I just wanted people (if anyone reads this) to know that I am alive and well. :)

Reunions, Salamanders, and Cosmetics. Who could ask for a better weekend?

Well it certainly has been an interesting weekend so far... I only have one more day and then it's back to work, but I finally feel like I've used my time well! Monday morning at 7am I left work to begin my crazy weekend. I went to sleep for a little while and then got up, got ready, and went to Erin's with my new friend Franny from work. We all went to Mesa Luna, a really cool salsa bar in Kitsilano, just a few blocks (well... quite a few) from Erin's house. It was an old friend from high school's birthday... He works there so they opened up the bar just for him. There were sooo many people from high school there! It was crazy seeing them all! A lot of them I hadn't seen since grad, 3 years ago!! It was a lot of fun. We all went back to Erin's after and slept over... Such a crazy night, I haven't laughed so hard in a really long time... It was a little bad, our minds went in the gutter a little too much but it sure was hilarious... (the candle, if Erin and Franny read this. Too funny.) Jesse, Erin's boyfriend made us perogies when we got there (Yeah, that's right, the MAN was in the kitchen cookin' for the women.) He made 42 perogies in one pot so they didn't quite all fit... the end result were some very mushed and mangled perogies. But we were so hungry it didn't even matter. The best part (another thing that made us laugh forever) was that I took one bite, and my stomach made a high pitched noise, and I said it was celebrating!! It almost sounded like "yayyy!" haha it was awesome!
Tuesday I went home, and then went shopping with my mom for my friend Sara's bridal shower that we were going to that night (nothing like the last minute, again!) The shower was awesome, I had never been to one before, but I'm sure it will be the first one of many others... I have 3 to go to in the next month or so... Sara had an amazing turnout, tons of people came, she was absolutely overwhelmed. After the shower I was all set and ready to watch a movie and wait for Jason to come over after his night shift... I even asked my mom for permission to order a pay per view... I couldn't decide between Uptown Girls (which I'd seen but really liked) and Anything Else (the movie, not any other movie...)I hadn't seen the second one so I called Heather and she ended up inviting me out instead so that was fun! It was me, Heather, Amelia, and Cory! Shane and Jason joined us later. T'was fun! Happy BIRTHDAY Shane!! (he's an oldie *snicker snicker*) :P
Today Jason and I went to Golden Ears Park for a nature walk. It was great! We saw salamanders in a pond. There were soooo many!! Aww they're cute. Then I went with Megan to her friend's house for a Mary Kay party! I'd never been to one but it was so much fun! We put on face creams and foundations and hand stuff, and lip stuff, and totally 'girled' it up a bit. It was like a slumber party for women without the slumber part. We're having another one soon to learn about other makeup. It's great to Girl it up every now and then. :) I spent way too much money on stuff, but it's so nice.
Oh! I forgot something else that happened this weekend! Yesterday, I got called by one of the places I dropped my resume at before I got a job at Moli Energy... It's a local pub, within 5 mins walking distance of where I will be moving to! I had the interview today which lasted a total of maaaybe 5 mins, and she offered me a job working as a part time waitress, worked out with my other schedule! I'm getting trained tomorrow! Hooray!!
So in the morning tomorrow I think I will work on some packing because I haven't really done much and I really should get on that... I'm such a slacker.
Anyways, this was a really long blog, sorry to bore you like that. :) I hope you have a great week!

Ouchy

Well I am sitting here, sunburnt on the front of myself, looking like a raccoon. I went to the beach today with Erin, Jesse, Franny, and her friend Jen. It was a grand ol' time except for the fact that I never turned around so the whole front of me is burnt to a crisp and the back of me is still as white as a ghost. :S blech. oh well... hopefully these stupid raccoon eyes will go away soon though hahaha! If you haven't noticed, I changed the template to my blog! I think it is pretty. I'm still working out a few bugs though, I can't seem to figure out how to get comments enabled...
Anyways, what's new with me? Well I've worked 3 rotations at work now... I actually like it! I like having a job... I really like having money, which could be a problem. I really have to start saving, and soon. I prefer the night shifts to the day shifts... mostly because there are no supervisors around and we can listen to music, and it's just way more laid back. It's fun...
I'm getting quite anxious about school now... and the move... And now I've found out some info which might make moving away to Victoria even harder!! Jason wasn't accepted back into the engineering program! :( He may not be able to go to school out in Victoria at all... There is a possibility that he could do a program at Camosun though, so that will be in my prayers for sure... It was scary enough moving away from home, even knowing he'd be there, but now that he might not, I'm totally freaked out!! I don't want to do another term like that... Ugh, I have to stop worrying so much...
Tomorrow I have to do a bunch of packing. I almost want to go outside tomorrow and lie face down all day to burn the back of me, so at least I'd be even... but then it would be double the pain I'm feeling right now, and I certainly don't want that! After Jason's work he was going to go biking... unfortunately I don't think I'll be going... putting the shin pads on very burnt legs doesn't sound like too much fun... Boo why was I so dumb, I should've turned over or something!! hahaha :)
Anyways, not too much to say, I'll try to keep this as up to date as possible....

And now the moment we've all been waiting for... a sigh of relief.

Ok, it's been a while (again) since I last wrote. I was doing well in the beginning with this blog thing, but lately it just hasn't been on my mind... So, last time I wrote I was stressed... more stressed than I think the entry portrayed... but things are MUCH better now...
Those 3 weeks without Jason were very long, it was really hard being away from him for that long... (it's hard to be away from him at all, for any length of time... yeah I know, bring on the gagging... I like to be mushy.) He came back for Easter weekend, but of course that weekend went waaay too fast, and now I'm back to missing him for another couple of weeks. At least it's only a couple weeks, and then he's back for good! I'm really looking forward to my phone bill not being a reason for my mom to get mad at me...
Our house did sell, everything was final on exactly March 31st. How's that for cutting it close??? It was actually a really amazing week... Mom became a Christian (which was incredibly amazing, I never thought it would happen... how's that for lack of faith? ... I've learned better.) and then a few days later our house sold. It was quite the miracle actually... I'm still amazed at it. So now we have to pack up and we move to our new place on June 1st. I'm really excited to design my new room, even though I won't be there for very long. :)
Easter weekend was fun, Jason came home from Victoria on Friday. He came by airplane!! It flew right from Victoria straight to Pitt Meadows! It only took him a half an hour, which was great! I got to see him in the morning, and we went biking in the afternoon. Saturday and Sunday were crazy, with the church services. Everything went really well, but I'm really glad that stress is over. Sunday night Jason's entire family came over for dinner! Mom cooked turkey, and it was spectacular... I didn't know we could fit so many people around the table. Monday was mine and Jason's anniversary... We didn't really end up doing anything we'd planned, but it was hard to plan much, being Easter and all... it was just nice to have him with me, especially after those 3 weeks.
And then we come to today, with some more good news, and some more relief. I finally, after much searching, got a job. I was phoned at 9am, had the interview at 11:30, and was offered the job just before noon. It was a good morning!! I start on Monday, and I have the same shifts as my best friend Erin! I will work for 4 days (12 hour shifts) and then I have 4 days off! It's just a temp position, and it pays more than any other place would, knowing that I'll be going back to school. I'm probably still going to look for a little part time job for some extra cash, to work on my days off. Just a few hours here and there for a bit of spending money.
So anyways, that's more or less what's been happening, and I'll try to be better at updating this... :)

Stress, Stress, oh, and a side order of Stress.

Sooo, I'm stressed... We're still trying to sell our house... If it doesn't sell by the 31st (less than a week) we will lose $5000 and the offer we have put on a townhouse we want. Plus I am still looking for a job.. ERG! And Jason is back in Victoria now, I just saw him for 3 days, now he'll be gone for 3 whole weeks!! Ick.... But, I'll just keep on truckin', keeping myself busy somehow.
Other than that, things are pretty good, Easter is coming up and with that comes choir rehearsals and of course I got pulled into the dance performance again so rehearsals for that as well.
That job interview last week went pretty good I think, but unfortunately I can't take that job. It would have been an awesome job to work at if I was not moving away to go to school, but they would have to train me and I don't think it would be worth their time and effort just to have me leave... But it was a good experience to go through that interview. I was super nervous and it was with 3 people interviewing me... But I knew the information needed and I think I did pretty good.
Today is Heather's birthday!! Happy Twenteen to you Heather!! Keep the teenager alive!!! hee hee
Anyways, I'm going to go have a shower and go drop my resume off places some more... Ciao for now! :)

I think I just want a good friend...

Mind you, no one else I know sits around all day with all the free time in the world... Bah... Not quite sure what I'm getting at, I think I'm just sorta in a weird place from this weekend... I didn't do a whole lot, other than my highlight which was going out dancing to the Mirage with my friend Megan... Jason was in Victoria this weekend, and I realized that he's totally the life of my party. haha... I love the friends I have, but everyone seems to have a "best friend" already. I think I just want a girl friend who will call me up and go for a walk and talk about girl things... BUT ... that's ok, I think I'm in a transitional stage at the moment... I'm sure I'll make plenty of friends when I move to the island...
I've been doing research for my interview tomorrow. It seems like an interesting place to work. Hopefully it goes well.. I'm getting pretty nervous.
I thought I had more to write than that but apparently my brain has ceased to function right now. I'll write more when there's something interesting for me to write! :)

Finally!

An update! I probably don't have any readers anymore it's been so long. I've been really busy, looking for a job and helping sell the house... I guess you all know now that I haven't put up my Belize journal... I started to, but then realized that I really wrote a LOT in 10 days... And to re-type it would be insane. But I'll try to put some pictures up on my yahoo photo site as soon as I get them back from the church.

Anyways, like I said, I have been really busy lately. My mom is selling our house, which means keeping everything in pristine condition... That's hard to live in.. I can never find anything I need without tearing apart an area of my room... So I've been learning to go without some things I need.

I have also been searching for a job. That's right, I'm still without a job. BUT I went out today and got a phone call within an hour of getting home for an interview!!! And it's the job I wanted the most! It's an office job, in the industrial park near my house as well! I know the president, he goes to my church, so HOPEFULLY something will come of this. It's a really nice office too, and the people I saw were very nice. It seems like a fun place to work, also with what I've heard about it. I don't want to get my hopes up too high though...

I will try to write more soon ...
