Catch up on the summer

O.K. so...
what have I been up to this summer?

Well it began with getting off in May which for the most part I sat around, played music, painted, caught up with friends, worked on the weekends & gave out my resume to a bunch of places. Karl & I also began to go out and I had a really fun birthday party at Conestoga Lake.

June: I took care of Kurt during the week & worked at Jumbo on the weekends.

Lesson: do not give babies sugar! You know how in gr. 9 during the drugs lesson they said that sugar is a drug? It is to them...

July: About 3 days after I had finished taking care of Kurt Princess Cafe gave me a call asking me if I was still interested in a job. I said yes and they gave me one :) Almost every day of July I was working there.

Lesson: Don't ask for too much time off within the first month of working somewhere. They won't like it...

This is Donavyn. He is pretty much the best person I have ever worked with (besides a certain few). He was completely open & we talked about so many things & could make eachother laugh like nothing else. It was great.

August: Was spent mostly outside. I was at my cottage for 2 weeks, which was full of kayaking, canoing, swimming & hiking the Bruce trail.

Lesson: Teach the person you're canoeing with how to canoe before going on a long trip. And wear bug rub!

The Decemberists were playing in Toronto so that was pretty much the concert of the summer. I also got together with a bunch of family & am planning on going on a road trip to Thunder Bay next week to see almost the rest of them.

This is me & my cousin Sean at the concert. He just came back from South Africa & we might be planning on going on a trip there next summer to climb a mountain. We'll see...

During July & August I've been trying to redecorate my room which has been very unsuccessful (stalling as we speak). The whole summer has been full of getting together with friends during random events. Eg. Relay for Life (so much fun!), Wedding, Iceblocking, Phils, The Decemberists, picnics, random themed parties/hanging out with Karl's friends and so on.

Overall it's been a very well spent summer & I'm very much looking forward to the rest of it!
Yay Orientation Week!
