There’s not much time left and classes will be done. not even a month and exams will be done. not even a month and my second year of college is over. then what? well hopefully i will be in Edmonton, finishing up my degree in 2 more years. then i just don’t know. if i’m not in Edmonton I will be here for 2 more years, that would be ok too, i guess. One week till Tammy’s birthday, she’ll be 20 and then I can bug her about being old. Just over a month till Jenn’s birthday, she’ll be 21. Isn’t it wierd how time just flies by? It just doesn’t seem like I’e been at this school for 2 years. I guess that means that its time for me to move on. It’s scary, isn’t it.

Brad is visiting Edmonton this week. They will be living here in alberta before you know it. Who woulda thought that they’d be back so soon. But thats ok cause then if I’m in Edmonton then they can cook for me and hang out with me and what not. That will be ok too.

Now I’m going to go study for finals, maybe start an essay. Mainly I just need to organize my notes into new notes so that they make better sense to me but whatever works right!??!!!

I wanna go somewhere. Derek is in Ausrailia again, pops is in Europe somewhere, ma is going to Edmonton, Shanney was supposed to come here but now she’s not, I think Brad is going somewhere (he said something about crossing the border), Karin drives a good distance to work everyday, Jenn is going to the Dominican, Tanya is going dog sledding in Canmore — I get to stay here and work!! I guess going to Vancouver gave me the travel bug. That and the fact that soon I will be done my second year of college and I’ve never really been anywhere. Sure Canada and a few other places on family vacations but I want to see Italy, France, London, Greece… really everywhere and anywhere! Then it won’t be a big deal when I have to leave my safe little house in safe little Red Deer and move to Edmonton with only a few friends and family. I know its not half way around the world or anything and I could probably drive home for supper if I really had to but it is still scary.

Brad wrote a little comment about what he wants to be when he grows up. He wants to be a pickle! Then he said I should be thinking about a ‘carreer path’ instead of a ‘when i grow up’ plan. All I want to say is that I don’t think I’m so much grown up. I have a lot to do before I will consider myself a grown up. like maybe figuring out what it is I want to do with my life (I’m thinking of welding!) and maybe surviving a year without my mommy. Just a few minor details. But I’m still young I have time. Maybe…in just under 6 months I will be 21 - an official international adult. I’m not sure how I feel about that quite yet.

Anyway I want to go somewhere hot! where I can just lay on the beach and tan/burn all day long. I’ve been going tanning for a while now and I think I’m more tanned than I ever have been in my entire life — its very exciting for me– and so I want to go somewhere and get more tanned. I’m still pale compared to other people but seriously give me a break!

You know when you’re really busy and the only time you get time to yourself its for laundry or sleep. Thats how I feel lately. I haven’t made time for this web page in 2 weeks, I feel neglectful! And I really don’t have time right now (I need to fix a belt loop on a pair of pants) but I’m making time.

What have I done? I did my sex ed presentation last night! it went really well and it was a lot of fun to do — always a good thing. other than that just the usual - work, school, sleep, work….same old same old!

I’ve been around to some very interesting places for this presentation in the last week and I learned a lot while I was doing it! It made me think about what i want to be when i grow up.

but now I am going to go have a girls night out with my ma and my granny! should be fun!

The past week was kinda stressful! between midterms, homework, and work I’m not sure how I made it through the entire week without crashing! I thought everything was supposed to happen before reading week and reading week was a recovery period! Turns out no!

Scott Tournament of Hearts was apparently a huge succes. We were not extremely busy at the beer bars but it was still long hours that I could have done without! By Friday night I was ready to crash, and I did! I think I slept about 12 hours cause i didn’t have to work on Saturday. Also, for the first time in history I was at home and in bed before midnight all weekend! I’m looking forward to going back to the same old routine of the hockey games - sounds silly but I’ll never complain about them ever again! At least I always have something to do there and I always know how long I’ll be there! Anyway I made some new friends, got to work with Tammy once and Tanya twice and that is about it. Friday and Saturday are hockey games, so we don’t have much time to recover from the westerner overload!

I have some research to do before I go to my next class but I thought I should probably write something here before Brad got mad at me. When he sees me next he might beat me if I don’t use this enough - and he is in Banff so he can very well do that!
