Camera

And so my camera has decided to not work. I am hoping that all the batteries i have are just not good enough to turn it on. Paycheck number one should help in that department. Time to buy some really good re-chargeable batteries. SO no fun pictures of the crazy creation I made, Next time!

New Location New Attempt at Blogging!

So Edmonton,

That is where I am currently living. I should probably eventually settle down and pick a place to live for more than one year at a time. Well that is the theory. I am all about the theories, which most people know. Anyways I had the most amazing road trip with Justine coming out here. Love her to bits, and would not have done the trip without her. Here are a few pictures of our adventure across this crazy country:

Yes that is a giant tomahawk and yes it was in a town called cut knife and yes we feared for our lives just a little bit.

You also must love the signs telling you that death and injury have occurred on the hike you are about to do!

This is our new friend and mascot :

Maurice Le Castor

I believe he helped keep us sane after the 10 hour driving days

If you look close enough you can sea that we are both sporting the glasses with sunglasses

over top. The glories of oversized sunglasses!

So the new theory is that I am going to try and actually update this blog more often than one every few months. I am going to give it some actual effort this time or as I said, as the theory goes!

WOO WOO JOB!

I finally got a job! it only took me 5 months but who is counting. It is at a little museum/campground which combines two of my favorite things to do, camping and working in a museum. The bonus is, I get to camp all summer! Which should be interesting, but doable.

Fun in the Snow

So today the temp reached 0 oC which made it ideal to make a snow man. As seen in the picture my nephew Evan and I mad a snowman named Mr. Snowman (Evan chose the name). He was all bundled up while i was out in just a hoody and gloves. Evan then wanted to play tag but managed to fall into a snow drift that was over his head and up to my chest. All in all it was a fun day!

Stupid Computer!

So All computers are evil. Mine decided today to stop working and then erase most of my hard drive. I believe I have fixed it all on my own but I had to download a bunch of stuff. SO angry! Boo Urns this sucks, I jsut want to be able to turn the stupid thing on and use it and it not decide to do stupid stuff. Is that too much to ask!

On a different note I may just apply to work at Tim Hortons in Afghanistan. it pays well and i gert to hang out with cute army boys. Lets see if I actually do it.

A New Year and a New Beginning to the Blog

So 2008 is finished and 2009 is here. I am officially finished school and have been looking for a job in my field. Which is frustrating and slow going. There are days when I think oh all will be well and things will eventually get better. Then there are the few moments (which are very few but none the less disturbing) when I think have I chosen the right path? Did I just waste another 2 years of my life and a bunch of money learning a new profession just to end up unemployed? There are others from my graduating class that have found something. I just need to keep telling myself all will be well.

On a brighter note friends Tara and Rob are now officially married! All I can say to this is: Its about time:) Their wedding was great and a good time was had by all!

So onto another year full of new experiences yet to be had!

3 weeks left

OMG I can not believe I am almost finished! woo woo! I never thought my stint in Peterborough would ever end. I have 3 weeks left of classes then i am back in waterloo for 4 months doing my internship at Doon Heritage Crossroads. I am super excited about this as i get to sleep in my wonderful bed and I get to be where people like me! Now to get though these next few weeks. The time is totally flying and I have sooooooo much still to do before I break free!

Ok now that I have gotten that off my chest, Nothing else is really new with me except I am an aunt again. My brother Marcus and his wife Kathy just had a little boy named Joshua. Now I have two nephews I can spoil rotten! It is kind of weird to think i am now an aunt well an aunt twice over, I don't feel that old. Any yet two of my younger siblings are parents. At times like this I get the feeling that I got passed over, and that despite the fact that I eventually would like a child of my own, I feel sometimes that it will never come to pass. People tell me that I am too picky and that I will never find someone because I am picky, but my thoughts on this are: that if you were really meant to share your life with some other person then you shouldn't have to lower your expectations just because there is someone close to what you want but not quite right. Why should I settle for not quite right when I can in theory have Just right. This doesn't mean I am not apposed to dating, that is how you find out what you like and what you dislike in other people and yourself. I just think that I shouldn't have to settle for less then want I want. Love is not something to be taken lightly.

Wow look at me being all deep thoughts today. Alright back to chemistry!
