I'VE GOT AN INTERVIEW! I sent out my résumé to three landscaping companies last night and got a reply today! The guy who owns Linden Landscaping wants to meet me for an interview when I get back. It sounds very hopeful. The job is exactly what I want: landscaping, not just sod-laying, $9 an hour, full time work (more, actually- 50 hours a week ( Read more... )

Today I finally got to go in my very first cave. It was so amazing! Justin and Leo and I went to this cave they know in Rockwood Park. It's not a cave like we always imagine, where it's an immense cavern filled with stalagmites and stalactites, it was more a winding tunnel in the rock, carved out by the stream that flows through it. The whole ( Read more... )

I can't decide. I can hardly wait to go home, but then I have these moments where I utterly adore Saint John and the people here. Like last night. I laughed so hard at young adults' that I hurt, because Emily, sedate and calm and non-giggly Emily, turns into a 14-year-old with Jen around, and the two of them are hilarious together! All of this ( Read more... )

I just got out of my economics exam a little while ago. I can't believe the afternoon I've had. I left my house early so that in case anything messed up, I'd still get to my exam on time. My bus was quite late, but that was okay because I had the time, and I congratulated myself on my cleverness. I got to the place where I transfer, realized ( Read more... )

Mom and Dad came home from being away overnight and found him. He died peacefully sometime between yesterday and today. Poor fellow. He was old and wheezy, but he still loved his belt and the the sun and being cuddled. I am going to miss him so much.

Eight hours or so of economics today. I couldn't bring myself to finish the last two chapters, my head was so full and tired. Two more days, and I'll be free of Dr. Nieva's teaching and his "otomatic stabbylizers" forever. I did discover today that he actually makes sense one on one, when you can make him stop and re-explain things. It's just ( Read more... )

I thought they would, under all the snow. Okay, so they're not really my violets, they're the university's. But I like to pretend that they're mine ( Read more... )

Church today was just this massive celebration. I love Easter Sundays- absolutely everyone sings loudly, and at my church here it means lots of people dance, too. We did more music than usual with all of these awesome, celebratory songs. We did a new Tim Hughes one that I must bring home- it was amazing! The only thing I missed was our joint ( Read more... )

Okay, not really. I dreamt that someone proposed to me last night. I'm not actually sure who it was, but I told him that I didn't know him well enough, so he should keep the ring and ask me again in a few months. I also remember being distinctly disappointed that it was a diamond ring, because I wanted something with colour. Oh, and I think he ( Read more... )
