Sailing

Annual trip to the Chris' cottage this year included a day on the her parents' (and aunt and uncles') sailboat - so great. The whole weekend was beyond words. Thank you Chris (and family).

Back to School

I just registered in a night course at Algonquin College!

I have been wanting to take night courses in photography for quite some time now - well really since I took a traditional film course in high school through St. Lawrence College in Brockville. Well, now that I am have graduated from the Environmental Engineering program at Carleton University, I will finally have the time to devote to my passion - photography. I really want to advance my skills and just have fun with it all. I can't wait until classes start September 10th!

Taking a Toll

Forcing myself into work in the morning and not getting home until late is starting to take a toll on my energy levels. I am beat all the time. I can't wait until the elliptical is built and I can try to get some energy through morning workouts - hopefully it doesn't make matters worse.

I keep telling myself that I really only have a month and a bit left until I am done here...but it doesn't seem to change anything in terms of my energy levels and my overall drive.

I want to go back to bed.

Convocation

This is one of the many pictures of Dave and I from our Convocation on June 12, 2008.

Drain-All

I have decided that come the end of my contract (August 15th) I will no longer be working at Drain-All. The position isn't in my field and though my boss told me he would look into moving me within the company into something that suited me, and my education, better - I know believe that to have been false promises to get me to stick around as long as possible. The people have been great there and though I do not entirely enjoy the work I have gotten used to going in everyday.

I am hoping to land a job in my field when fall comes around as I am told many more opportunities open up then. My professors and past classmates told me this during convocation and their reasons why seem logical. So fingers crossed on that one - again.
