I've been busy...

Yeah Yeah. I know you've heard it all before. I'm always busy. It's just who I am.

A lot of things have happened since my last entry. I've gotten a new job, been to Ontario and back and everywhere in between (literally).

First off I got offered the awesome new job of Student Volunteer Bureau Coordinator ( Zoiey's old job). It actually took a lot out of me to decide to take it. Taking this job meant that I would have to give up my job as day camp coordinator, a job that I loved dearly. However, I realized that I had been with the Goulds Rec for almost a quarter of my life (going on 5 years) and that I was limiting myself in the expericnes I was having. Also by taking this new job i signed a one year contract with the university. I have a full time job for at least the next year. That's a lot of cash for a full time student to have. Not to mention I am totally in love with the work and the people. Think about it.. coordination of events is my most favorite thing to do .. and now I am doing it with the worlds greatest volunteers (volunteering... another things very near and dear to my heart). I am really glad I made the choice that I did. This is going to be an awesome year. I am in the process now of planning for Orientation. CRAZY. Recruiting screening and training 150 volunteers. woot. sounds awesome to me. I really can't wait. so next time ya'll are on
campus stop by UC-4001 to pay me a visit in my OFFICE! (and it's not even a photocopy room!) haha.

After I founfd out I got that job Darcy and I headed to Ontario.. we drove. It was really awesome. My biggest fear was that we would get sick of eachother but it was anything but. It seemed like we had spent no time together when we pulled back into my driveway. I had a really hard time sleeping (and still do) without him. I really fell in love with his family and I miss them terribly now that we're gone. We had a great time though. we spent a week in Goderich (where Darcy is from) then we spent a night in Niagra Falls. That was amazing. We went to the worlds largest indoor Aviary. It was beautiful. it was like this door jungle with a huge waterfall and all of these beautiful tropical birds freeflying while we walked through. It was amazing. We also went on the maid of the mist. That was incredible. When you get that close to the falls it literally takes your breath away. Honestly, I could barely breath. It was just absolutely stunning. The next day we went to the Eaton Center for a little while, buty we were both so tired from the day before we drove to Scarborough and got a hotel for the night and slept. The next day we went to the Zoo with Darcy's friend Allison and her baby Ella. that was really fun. I was really looking forward to that the whole trip. We drove to kingston that night and stayed there and then started the drive back , went Kingston-Quebec City- Amherst-Ferry-Home. I miss Ontario something fierce though. I had an amazing time. Thank you so much Darcy :)
