This is going to sound really creepy but when I was picking my brother up from school yesterday I was observing all the kids coming out of the school and I was a little bit jealous. They all seemed so darn happy and carefree, I wish I could go back to junior high and really appreciate the complete lack of responsibility and knowledge.

Working in a gas station is definetly not as cool as I thought it'd be, lots of standing around and more cleaning than I care to do. But I did get to meet Craig MacTavish, the head coach of the Oilers and according to Wikipidia a convicted killer (vehicular manslaughter).

I found the most perfect boots ever and they didn't have them in my size. I really need to stay away from the mall.

Its weird being in my room... sleeping alone on a large overly firm mattress. I can watch basically as much tv as I like, am I imagining things or did tv get cheesier??

This is a big deal for me, I always make lame/inappropriate jokes when I meet new people. And this was not just his immediate family, I met the entire Wieler clan and ( Read more... )

You know you're from Manitoba when... you drive an hour to go to a wedding social AND meet one of Terrell's cousins!! I think that driving out to Carman for a social last night is officially the most Manitoban thing I have done in my sixteen years of living in this province. I had a blast but I'm not sure if it was worth driving that far... well ( Read more... )

I Made a presentation today in Mennonites in Europe, it went pretty badly. I think by the end everyone figured out that I hadn't actually read the book I was supposed to be presenting on. Well the presentation was on the German Peasants' War and Anabaptist Community of Goods but somewhere in my talk I started getting into the events of the Russian ( Read more... )

I'm in Ottawa, and its colder than Winnipeg right now, I am bitter. And I have to wear dress clothes which for me means, a skirt and heels so my walk to the conference centre is long and cold. But Model UN is a ton of fun, very intimidating but a lot of fun. And today one of the translators swore it was hilarious but only like six people were ( Read more... )
