Ok. Fast post. I'm on call and trying to pass a few minutes before I can go down and check on the chillins. I got to read the Lorax tonight during campfire. Mmm. I love that book. However the teachers talked through the whole thing. Which I really didn't appreciate. There are a lot of teachers that come up here and seem to think it's their time off. Man. It's annoying. This one woman was patronizing me too. Which I really really hate. Ok. Enough ranting.

I really have little more to say. Yeah. It's been pointed out that I rarely use correct grammar in my posts. And start off sentences with the word and. I like using and. And I will continue to do so. Ha ha.

So remember - UNLESS someone like you cares a whole awful lot. Nothing is going to get better. It's not.

When I sit down to think of what to write about I always have such a blankout . Then I have a billion things that run through my head and when I try and generalize them and condense it down it's nothing. Alas. Here is some more nothingness. And Jon now you have to update - it's part of the deal.

Pretty much all I've done this lovely Saturday is eaten. And drank hot chocolate with whipping cream. And chatted it up with Mr. Sytsma and Mr. Grinwis. And now I'm cuddling with my kitty. It's been a good day. I had a lot of work to do but since I've decided to drop the course I was taking while working I have nothing. And it feels great. Woohoo.

So tomorrow I go back to work for three straight weeks. No weekends off. It's going to be tiring but a lot of fun. Plus it will be good for my bank account that currently has 43 dollars in it. Ha ha. We're also going up early tomorrow do get some non-kid skiing in. Should be nice with no crying, whining children complaining about the cold. Well it's not that bad most of the time. You get into some good conversations with them. I really like talking to 12 year olds sometimes. You forget quickly how you thought things through as a kid. It's good to look at things through their point of view sometimes.

Alright. I thought it was time to get that drunk post off the top of my site. I'm just chillaxing in the staff workroom right now. Just ate supper and am getting ready for evening program. Our dishwasher broke today so we're all eating off paper plates and cups. It's really quite funny. And ironic considering we're an outdoor education centre. Oh well.

Today was another gorgeous day out. The sun was shining strong the whole day - my face even got sunburnt. And I was toasty warm through the billion layers I now wear everyday. And I just watched a gorgeous sunset. Aren't suppers off wonderful?

So guess what? I cut my hair. Yes you heard me right. Emily. The girl with the long hair. Ha ha. Now I'm just being melodramatic. Natalie cut it for me Sunday. And it's pretty short. Well maybe medium. It sits on my shoulders. But I put in pigtails today and they were itty bitty things that just stuck out under my ears. It was exciting. My head feels so light.

Well I should get back to my lab report. School is always there to haunt me. Even when I'm technically "off". But I should get it done. Considering after this weekend I am here working straight for three weeks until the 6th of February. I'm going to be a bit sick of the school by then. Next weekend though I think my dad and sis are coming up to go skiing here. So that should be fun. Alright done with the ranting. I just remembered chocolate brownies are for desert. Must run and get a good one before the children get them.

Here's the fist drunk post in some while. I'm here - in Rob's room. Trying to figure out how to type on his crazy ass keyboard. It's split down the middle and I'm too danm drunk to figure out how to use it. Alright. Well tonight was a good time. Good times had by all. Walking home I was singing or screaming at the top of my lungs. Aieee it was fun. Man this keyboard is fun. Yeah. And by fun I mean annoying. Rob and Clare are watching some Christina Agulara something crap.. and yeah. So I'm drunk. We ranted about guys (and girls) tonight. Damn relationships sometimes eh? But there are the good times that seem to make up for it. The times where everything seems right. And you can't stop from smiling. I guess that makes up for all the bad. Where you're just smiling. And you feel happy in your stomach. Really happy. Clare and Rob were talking about how guys always lie. Thats scary. I can't imagine lying like that. I mean I might lie but it's just stupid stuff. Anywho. I'm ranting about nothing. Yeah. Mark just came in. La de da...

Alright the Edge is one hot motherfucker. Yeah. So I'm waiting. Waiting. La de da. Rob told me to blog while I waited. This week was great. I'm really glad I'm working where I am now. Its awesome. With great people. I'm super glad I'm there. Damn they're watching pool. Who watches poo.??

Drumroll please.... dum de dum de dummmm... Ha ha. That's enough. I hope everyone enjoyed a safe and happy new year and the first few weeks of January has treated you all well. Who was complaining about the lack of snow and cold? There you have it. In full wind chill force. It's good though. Bundle up and then it's a good time.

So I've started my new job. It's great. I'm really tired out from the first week and feel like I could use a few more days off but I'm excited to go back nonetheless. The staff is really great, I have taught with a few of them before, and I really like my "mentor" teacher. All is good. We're teaching programs like survival skills, eco-hikes, orienteering, wood crafts, campfires, instincts, team building.. the list goes on. It's great. I forgot how much I loved doing this, working with kids, being outside all day. You feel really alive.

I'm not really ending my blogging drought with anything exciting. I'll try and write some funny things that happens with the kids. They're always good for a laugh. I tried to teach dreamcatchers to 25 grade 5 kids on Wednesday. It was such a disaster. Hilarious. Some of them were chucking them around, a girl was crying because she couldn't get it to work, half the other kids were running around the room, and the kid beside me really smelled. And the parent that was with them was sitting there minding his own business. Never has a program gone so horribly wrong.

Hmm. Was noch? I'm going to play with my digital camera this week and post some pictures for you all. Yeah. Life is good now. Better. I'm enjoying it.
