Random Ramblings

Gone.

I can't believe summer has already come and gone already. Even though it was 4 months...it fealt like 2 weeks. Maybe it's because I was working full time...but I've done that in past summers, which were only 2 months long...and even then, those summers fealt longer. How did those 4 months go by so quickly? I can barely remember what happened...except for the major events like the forest fire in May, probably the worst storm the Whiteshell has ever seen in June, the cabin party, all the crazy lake parties, the car crash...

It's so weird knowing that I'll be in the city pretty much all the time for the next 8 months after spending 4 full months at the lake...this next week will be like culture shock...new job (sort of), new school (sort of) and new friends (sort of)...those are are all old things...except that I have barely kept in contact with them for 4 months. I've only known my lake friends and now I probably won't see most of them until next summer...if I'm even around next summer or if they're even around...I might not see some of them again.

On the other hand...I'm kind of also looking forward to going back to school. Usually I don't want to go back to school...as does just about everyone else...but I'm actually kind of excited about seeing what my 2nd year courses will be like...hopefully a little bit more challenging than last years and a little bit smaller. I'm also looking forward to meeting new people like last year...so overall I'm sad that summer is over, but I'm also looking forward to the change and the next 8 months of progression and new things.

...that I can walk around with a chainsaw all day, manage not to injure myself...yet when I pull the pizza out of the oven for dinner, I manage to burn my arm. I hate my stove.

Okies time for an update

This weekend was kinda crappy...mostly because the weather was crappy and there wasn't really anyone around.

To top that off our pump stopped working yesterday, which means we have no water...which means we can't shower, flush the toilet, etc etc. We also lost power for a couple hours. Pretty much the weekend of Murphy's Law. Anyways, even though it was like 10c out, windy as fuck...and the water much, much colder, I went for a swim because I needed to be clean. I expect to do so again in the morning before I go to work tomorrow...and I say I am not looking to waking up tomorrow.

So for the past couple days there's been a pretty crazy forest fire burning on the other side of the lake. Apparently they thought they had put it out yesterday evening, but it started up again this morning. Anyways, when I got home from work (5pm) there were 3 water bombers and 2 helicopters picking up water from the lake trying to put it out.

Anyways, it looks like they succeeded, as last I saw it looked like they had put it out.

Otherwise I got some pretty sick pictures/video, as I drove to the other side of the lake and stood directly under where the water bombers were coming down...they were literally maybe 50ft above me. But yeah...awesome pictures/video...I'll try and get some of it up here whenever I'm back on highspeed.

I hope I don't wake up tomorrow and see a ton of smoke again across the lake.

Last day was my last day at work, which was kinda sad because I really liked working there...not so much the work itself, but the people I worked with. A bunch of us went out last night and that was fun and ironically I'll be looking forward to September when I get to see them again.

Anyways, I'm heading off to the lake tomorrow and starting work out there on Tuesday which will be nice. I'll come into the city every once and awhile so you guys better let me know when stuff's happening.

Finished up my last exam today...fealt pretty good about it.

Summmmmmmmeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just finished my english exam today. I fealt really good about it...seeing how I read everything that we were supposed to and never skipped a class...so I understood everything on the exam...my hand just really hurts from writing 3 essays in 3 hours.

I think I have an ear infection. However, I cannot find my Manitoba Health Card. Therefore I cannot go and get it check out.

Life rules.
