good luck in the fall?

A fortune cookie told me I would have good luck this autumn - who knows what it was referring to but wow, things are definitely crazy in this block.

I found out just now my parents bought a new house?!? They are moving to a new place in Lake Bonavista (proper) sometime soon...and renting out the old place. CRAZY! The new house is a real fixer-upper. Lots of potential though. And hey, with all those decorating shows nowadays, it should be a good project. Wow, maybe I will want to live at home when I move back next year... ha ha

Another development: I am working for Shell next year! Definitely enjoying geophysics. Currently in 2 geology courses (argh, this lab I have not started the write-up for is due in 1 day!!), both taught by a prof who was an eng-phys grad 20+ years ago. He expects a lot of work in a short amount of time!

The fun continues with yearbook - 3.5 hours of interviews today, 4.5 tomorrow. Caffeine = good. We also unloaded ANOTHER 7 skids of yearbooks which was fun. I think the manual labour is over now - thank goodness.

My birthday celebration last week was fun! A few good friends got together at Tango, the local martini resto-bar and enjoyed tapas, a nice dinner & mmm..ice cream cake! Pics to come soon. My housemates also ROCK! They got me a guitar stand, metronome, cool picks and stuff I'll need to change strings. I'm set! Cheryl's friends are totally into guitar too, which makes it fun to "jam". Lately, I've been trying to learn wonderwall, blackbird, I dunno, the chords from song 2...easy stuff.

Bedtime...I think the cappuccino is wearing off. More to follow...

Ahhh! Yearbooks

Today was the Frosh Week Sidewalk sale...we distributed so many yearbooks. If only they weren't 5lbs each...at least it wasn't raining though. In fact, I think I may have the beginnings of a farmer's tan! All that hard work in Calgary to prevent tan lines... wasted in 1 day of southern Ontario glare.

But I've got the Vancouver Island pics up now! Check out the photojournal.

Hey, it's Friday night - gotta go out!

Back from BC!

After 18 hours on the road, I finally made it back to Calgary! Last night marked the end of a really fun family vacation - my first time to Vancouver Island!! I'll be posting a commentary & pics from the trip on my site very shortly.

Tonight, Steph, Colleen, Michelle & I got together one last time before my afternoon flight into Kingston tomorrow. We had some tex mex at the Santa Fe Grill (yay, quesidillas) and we tried fried ice cream. As good as it was, I think I'll stick to my waffle cones...after watching Super Size Me last week, unheathly eating just doesn't cut it!

I can't believe it is September 1st!!! That means I only have 2 more weeks to be 20. Wow. But really, what is a number? Time seems to pass so quickly these days...Ha ha, as if I don't use the word enough already, this summer was AWESOME. I had such a great time at work and the weekends were jam packed. The trip to Vancouver Island was a nice way to relax before shifting into study mode again. argh, studying...

Check out my website for photo updates...new stuff from the rafting trip, waterton, the fireworks competition (Michelle has all the pics - http://share.shutterfly.com/action/share/view?i=EeAN27li4ct2zj4&open=1&sm=1&sl=1), and my very own zucchini.
