It Snowed

So on March 1st I woke up, wandered up stares and as soon as I lifted my head to the window there was snow! Usually I look out my window first thing in the morning but that day I just left to go to work. I was physically shocked to see the snow, especailly becasue its was MARCH and because there was a good 5inches on the ground. it stayed for about 10 days. On the 1st and on the 2nd we (Diego, Ed, Eve, Melissa and I) went sleding. Diego only made 3 sleds, he can't count, but tis ok becuase we brought extra bags and what not and the next day I made about 4 more. That day Jon and Jo came as well, Eve wasn't there and Jo was on her snow board, its a nice board. Diego haveing sleded for a day had suddenly become an expert and was giving Ed and the rest of us tips on how to go fast, which was a bit reundant becuaes Melissa beat him 99.9% of the time. I amlost won a cuple times except I was going scarey fast so I bailed out before the fence hit me in the face. The first field we went on on the first day there was a little ridge and Melissa, Eve and I were going down the hill on our stomachs so we'd hit the ridge thing, go flying in the air and lay there on our backs for a little while winded. I don't think Ed or Diego made it that far down the hill that day.
On the 2nd its snowed on and off all day. Yes that picture is of the view out of one of the windows, not from the internet. pretty amazing. Most of the time on academic we were just shouveling the walk and laying down grit. I was nice to be out side all day. We rarely do that in the winter. I be the new placements, who are really nice btw, might be out side all the time seeing as they are her in the summer.
The snow left just as fast as it came. One day it wasn't there the next 5-6 inches, a week goes by and then you wake up and all of a sudden its gone.
I want to go skiing






Walking in a winter wonderland................i mean walking in a March snowyland

22days

I'm home in 22days, yippee! I have decided to concintrate on the good of going home rather than the bad of leaveing, and I am actually getting really excited to go home, my own room, no mold blah blah blah you've heard it all before.
So my parental untis are in Italia right now, its weird haveing someone in the general time zone as you. I mean yeah I know everyone I work with is in the same time zone as me, but for the past 7 months everyone from home has been 8 hours behind, or ahead, or what ever, 8 hours different. I'll tell you what I'm not looking forward to, the plane ride home. In a plane for 9 hours, yippe, I'm excited, NOT! I don't mind flying I just don't like it, especailly for 9 hours. We're flying into Vancouver first and then we fly to Victoria, I personally would have prefurred going on the ferry, but when I think about it I'd rather get home asap when we arrive in Vancouver.
So everything is in box's and ready to be sent home, and my 'rents arrive here in about 9 days (just thinking about seeing them gives me butterfly's of happiness [yeah I know I'm a mama's girl, what are you gunna do about it?]) anyway the point is i hoped to have everything sent off and on its way home by now but that hasn't happened yet, obivously. I just have to build up the courage to go down to the post office and send off the 10 box's I have. Monday and tuesday I have off and Eve has offered to help me take them down to the post office so I think I'll send of 5 on monday and then the other 5 on tuesday. or go down everyday after friday (my last working day) and send one off a day. Hopefully the nice post man is there and not that cold lady. he's nice, she makes me uncomfortable.
At the momment i am suppose to be working, but its sunday and I have nothing to do, I could get out the equipment for tomorrow but I don't work tomorrow, so it's Dave's problem, muahahahaha! yeah you're right, I'll end up doing it.
Sadness about not getting to see T and Andy and everyone before I leave, but thems the breaks and that just means they'll all have to come over to Canada and hang out with me and my friends there.
I know this is sad, but I almost wish i was duty tonight. Why? I have no idea, I just do.
I haven't writen in here in a long time, nor have I writen in my journal for at least a monthish. I should probably do that.







Drove downtown in the rain, 9:30 on a tuesday night, just to check out the late night record shop.

The beer out here

{{ THAT is the beer out here, out here being Canada. Kokanee is a Pilsner Style Lager with 5.0% alcohol v/v Kokanee is brewed in Kootenay's of B.C. by the Columbia Brewery. It is B.C.'s most popular beer and contains no preservatives and is aged naturally. The glacier fresh taste of Kokanee is captured by making the beer from pure, fresh, mountain stream water. It uses 3 malts and a blend of western grown North American Hops. Brewmaster's Notes: It's a smooth, clean and light hopped beer with a suble aromatic aroma. Isn't that amazing? no, fine. i haven't tried Kokanee yet, but i make up for it by actaully climbing the Kokanee Glacier. Apparently my brother pushed me while we were on it and my mom says she's never seen my dad move so fast in her life.
have they caught Bigfoot yet?

Ireland

<< its the beer out here, well ok, techinacally i don't think its beer, and out here, well i don't know what you are suppose to drink in Wales, its the beer in ireland though, and omg is it gross.
uh.......Ireland
that was fun. We were in Portrush for about 2 and a half days. We walked to Dunluce Castle from Portrush which is about an 3hours there and back, including teh walk around teh castle. That night we went to a pub and drank Guinness, or tried. I couldn't finish my half pint. i got just over half way, but the point is tried. The next day we went to the giants Causeway, that was really cool. we walked all along the sarrounding cliffs and then down to the causeway, it was bigger than i had antisipated but smaller than i thought, if that makes sence.
That day we went to Belfast did a quick walk around there, went to a pub, ate went home and chilled.
The night in protrush, mine and eve's room was so hot i woke up in teh middle of the night not able to breath, so i opened the windo and turned the heater off adn as soon as i opened the window three dogs started barking, it's ok, i was able to get back to sleep pretty fast.
In Belfast we took a bus tour around teh city, i want to take a bus tour around victoria when i get home, who's with me?! *laura heres the sounds of crickets* fine then
that was pretty much my trip, it was good.

I'm getting excited abvout going home now! YAY PEOPLE and GOOD FOOD and MY ROOM and NO MOLD!

i miss everyone and can't wait to see them!!!!!!!!!!

this computer made this font really big i hope the font on teh 'published' blogg isn't this big.

Melissa left today. 'Tis all very sad. i got all teary eyed and stuff. I'll see her in a month, whats my problem. oh well. It is foreshaddowing of things to come, ie me blubering alike a baby when i leave. I'll be crying all the way to Llandgollen .
Tonight Eirlys, Eve and Eirly's friend Kerry and me go to Manchester in preperation to go to Ireland. WOOT IRELAND. no i wont be drinking green beer! i'll be in Ireland, its called Guinnesse, even though i don't like it, i'll still drink a half pint, or try to anyway. This trip is going to be a lot of fun, yay. I'm back monday evening, and then i have duty on tuesday, greeeeaaaat, yeah no. I don't want to duty on my first night back from holidays.
Yesturday we all went to the pub, 'twas great. Snake bites are good, i hope we get them at home. and Baily's, holy crap is that yummy! I bet i wont drink when i get home, or i probably wont drink as much. I wont drink much mainly because everyone wont be able to drink, oh wait, i'll go out with Rog, AT and Benbow, sweeeeeet. so long as Ryan does puke in the car as he always does it'll all be good.
I want to go home, but i don't want to leave. Leaveing people is soooo hard. Leaveing home was hard but i knew i'd be going back so it was sad, but not really. leavieng here will be depressing. oh well lets find a nice happier topic of bloggersation......uh.......................i have everythign packed and ready to go, did i say that already
oh well, anyway uh.........................................











he plays an old guitar, it was his friends guitar, when he plays, no one speaks

my feet are sore, and i am tired. I don't know why i'm so tired i didn't do much today; painted, made hooks for the jewlary cabinet, ran around doing random things. I had an ok sleep. woke up to the sounds of 'Match of the day' at 7:30am, coming from diegos room, so i threw shoes and stuffa t my wall, and then he left and it was quiet and i was happy. But when i went into the hall you could deffinately tell he was going somewhere, omg! why do guys think girls like the smell of axe. ok, a small bit of axe good, the ammount diego wears REALLY bad. you can't breth when you enter the L floor after he's had a shower. the oxygen has bveen taken up by axe. my new mantra was 'one more week' then it was 'three more days' now its 'gone tomorrow' thank the lord. Ed i know will be really sad, poor guy, but theres a new boy placement comeing that he can play with so all is good (ok that sounded a bit dirty, not intended that way)
I think i've gone off sweets, or had to many and now i need a break. Lately when something sweet is offering itself to me, going 'eat me, eat me' like a custard, caramel doughnut i've gone 'naaah' and then when things likes sun dried pears have gone 'eat me' i go, oky doky, and do. with in an evening a whole bag is gone (they are sooooo good, i don't like pears, but sun dried they are almost orgasmic)
Melissa's leaving soon, and i don't know why i feel sad about it. I'll see her when i get home (hopefully) I guess it will be not having a girly friend my age around.....but who cares about age anymore? what does it matter if you have friends that are also your parents friends and age, what does it matter if you befriend someone younger? we're all people right? well except those of us who are actually monkey flesh, donkey brain eating aliens *cough* Diego *cough*
i have fuzzy socks and fuzzy duck slippers, apart they equal happy feet, but together, its orgasmic, cozy happy feet. fantastic!
i don't want dinner tonight. Its chicken in some wort of curry, AGAIN! all we eat is chicken in some sort of curry or tikka or pie and lasagna. Its great that we're getting cooked for again and that i don't have to make chicken/bacon/beef butty's anymore but omg! come up with something different! do spaghetti, or tacos, or cottage pie/shepards pie or stir fry or something!
Last night i went to see 'Dance in the Dark' the first thing teh add for you to go see it say something like its really depressing and will haunt you for days afterwerds...........uh yeah sounds great. At the hall that it was playing at they gave out free tissue packs. i was a bit apprehensive. anyway, the movie didn't effect me. It was with Bjork as the main character. she's going blind and saving up money for an opperation for her kid so he wont go blind and then stuff happens. It bascially starts as she takes a fly leap off a cliff and then you follow her down. Its also a musical, pretty good songs, i liked the song actually. Remember at the oscars when Bjork wore that swan dress? well the song she was singing is from this movie. Anyway i must be a robbot becuase it didn't effect me and the only things that are hunting me are the songs that are still stuck in my head.
back hurts now










I've seen what I chose and I've seen what I need,And that is enough, to want more would be greed
