General Life Update, Part 1

Hi Guys,

Just thought I would let you know what I was doing, since it's been a while since I've posted. I've just been so busy I can hardly find time to do anything these days except the basics. So here we go, there's more on the way once I have a place of my own, which I should know by tomorrow or the end of the week at the latest. Hopefully by tomorrow-ish.








This is where I work, at St. Mike's. It's a pretty nice place, and the people there are a lot nicer than I expected. It reminds me a lot of STM (an affliated college connected to the U of S back in SK) in a lot of ways. The people are friendly, there's a nice cultural bubble that makes you feel like you belong there, and every now and then people bring you a muffin or something. Maybe I'll post pictures of who I work with, a little later.





Just a picture of the sign. I took a picture of this the day before I went in for my interview. I thought it was a nice looking sign and all.


When I got here, Sarah had a party and invited a few of her friends.




This is Jess, whose name I forget on a regular basis, which is really embarrassing, and I keep thinking her name is Kelly, and then I do this mental walk-a-round from Kelly, to Seth, to Beth, and then I think it sort of sounds like Beth for about a minute, and then I remember her name.

Seriously losing my mind.

Anyways, she's really nice, and we get along quite well, I think. Nice girl.




This is all the fancy food Sarah made. I have a bunch more pictures on my phone, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to link up my phone to my computer. I thought I knew, but then I realized I had some accessories to my cell phone which I am not sure were supposed to be with it, so I will have to go back to the Telus store and talk to them. I'll probably come in there after having spent an unfortunate amount of dollars. =( They're really good at selling things, and I am SUCH a sucker. Sigh.




This is Sarah with her two best girlfriends, Katy and...Andrea??? Something like that. Anyways, we had a fantastic dinner made by Sarah, and we all had a really fun time.





During some part of the evening, Mike (Sarah's fiancee) decided to jam on one of his many guitars. Looking studly, Mike.





Sarah and Mike couldn't be here today, though, because they had to go to a cousin's wedding, which is why I have time to blog this evening. Sarha's hair is doing this new french-like thing, so she's looking great, and Mike dressed up really nice for the wedding as well. And no, Sarah isn't wearing a bright red skirt...it's just her very french coat that goes with her very french hairstyle. Even though she's technically Belgian-esque in heritage, she seems to have that frenchy hairstyle that is popular of late. I must admit, it looks really nice on her.

Sigh, other than that, my life HAS been eventful, but I have been so busy trying to get a place for the start of Oct. that I am just losing it, and I have had some trouble getting a place, or getting a place where it's roommates that I would like to have, or in a neighbourhood that I like, or at a price that I like. I don't want to move in by myself, and as long as my new roommates aren't crazy people (which there seems to be a lot of here) I think I'll be fine. I have been staying with Mike and Sarah for the last week, but like I said, hopefully I'll have a new place very soon, and it will all work out, and life will be grand, etc. etc.

OK, well that is all for right now, but I'll keep you all posted.
