Just an Update

Well, I realized that I really have not updated this thing in a long time. So here I am vainly trying to, knowing that I am going to leave something out irregardless of all my efforts.

I've realized that I really like days off. It makes me just want to quit working now and just be lazy :P haha I'm sure that I could still babysit and stuff, but I guess it's good to have a job. It brings me money, which will allow me to go to school and do other things. On that note, I am quitting on the 25th of August, which will allow me 2 weeks for R&R as well as the chance to get ready for school! I'm excited already! Less than a month! yay!

I have come up with a plan. Due to the disappointing lack of vacations this summer, I have decided that next summer I will (ie. I will have enough money saved, so I cannot use that excuse) either go to Europe or go on the West Coast Trail. If I do not make it to Europe, I will go the next summer, for I promised Zicka that I would come and visit her! I am excited! My dad expressed some interest in going on the West Coast Trail with my brother, so if Ian and crew doesn't want to/can't, I could always go with them! Well, we'll see how things work out anyways :P

I think I may have convinced Ian to come to my house to watch Legally Blonde. I am excited.

My mum got home safely!!!!! Yay!!! She was up in the middle of nowhere northern BC - actually by Bell 2 on the Alaskan Highway, not that it makes much sense to anyone as to where that is - and came home for a couple of days today! I was quite lucky as I had the day off and went to the airport to pick her up! I really love my mum a lot... I just feel comfortable talking to her about lots of random things that I don't normally talk about with other people... like political things, stuff about growing up, God and other things... Which is quite good!

Last night I went and saw "Sophie Scholl: The Final Days" and it was AMAZING. It was an EXTREMELY well done movie - if you have a chance to see it, I definitely recommend it! (it's playing at the Plaza Theatre in Kensington). Check this out for the rundown of the movie. It is in German with English subtitles (which, I guess makes it all the more appealing to me because it gives me a chance to practise my German listening abilities while still having the english translation there for when I don't understand it.) I was really impressed at how firm Sophie was about her beliefs and how she didn't betray them, even if it meant that she would be free. I wish I could be that brave...

I bought a dress while shopping with Sandra the other day, it's really nice! I quite like it for 3 reasons:
(1) It looks quite nice
(2) It was under $50
(3) It was a dress from a store that *actually* fit without needing altering!
I tried this dress on for my mum today... during a conversation about the dress with my mum, my brother comes upstairs and says, "What, you bought a dress because you're engaged to Ian?!?!?!" Well, there's no ring on my finger, so that was slightly amusing. Especially since some girl at VBS was quite convinced today that I have children. O dear.

Well, I think that I should go and maybe clean somethings and maybe make banana bread... Now that you know all about my exciting life! yay! Have much fun.
