4:11 pm	Jobs jobs jobs. Still in Kananaskis, and I must admit, now that I've done all the hikes, it's starting to lose it's appeal. Just because i feel like my brain is going absolutely to mush, since I'm barely doing any design work.. or anything. I've taken it upon myself to finish a book or 2 a week, just so I feel like I'm not wasting my head. Right now I've finally started the Da Vinci Code. Maybe that's doing me more harm than good. I don't even know what the fuss is about, everybody's telling me "oh as soon as you start it you can't put it down!" and I've put it down with ease about 5 times now (and fallen asleep reading it twice...). I should have read the Hobbit first. Oh well. So, I'm up for a position on PEI at East Coast Cresting, doing embroidery work. I won't lie, I really want that job. Just to be in the FIELD. I have been talking to Stacy Driscoll about it through email and he says that if I am hired I'd be doing half embroidery work and half design work. I am getting so sick of housekeeping, and the thought of being able to actually start a career, 9-5, monday-friday job is so damn tempting. So if I do happen by the grace of God to get that job, I'll be packin' up and heading east! It's weird how I feel like I haven't had a summer yet because I haven't gone to the beach. I am going white water rafting in BC on Monday! Also, I'm going rock climbing on the 28th! So I guess this place has not become old to me yet.. But I still want that job, haha. Root for me!

3:17 pm	Cougar alert So, we're on high alert for cougars since one killed a deer behind the residence last night. everybody heard it scream. weird. so now there are men with guns standing outside all the rez doors and we have to be driven to work and any place we want to go. in other news, me and 3 friends are going hiking to the very top of mount Kidd today. with the cougar watch in effect. We've been told that it will not attack 4 people though, so it was "safe" to "go on ahead". and we're dumb enough to listen. I was going to upload pictures to show you, but the feature is not working for some reason right now.. so I guess i'll have to wait until later. I hope everybody is enjoying their day, it's beautifully sunny here and I feel too bad sitting inside to remain here any longer. bye bye! moe (1 Comment |Comment on this)

3:04 pm	Greetings from sunny Alberta! I have the day off today, finally.. The hotel has been amazingly crazy, I've been working 6 days, getting one day off for about 3 weeks now. So today is going to be a day of rest, relaxation, and getting a suntan. I can't believe I'm going home in 8 days. It feels like I've only been here for a few weeks, but at the same time it feels like I've been here forever.. That's not a bad thing. So my future is slowly beginning to shape up, I think. Well, here's the current plan: Stay here in Kananaskis for the summer. Get my 6 months in at Delta, so I'm eligable to work in any delta around the world. Move potentially to Victoria, BC. Again, not 100% sure, but it sounds like fun. I'm still trying to find a way to get to England though.. perhaps through the government of canada's work abroad program. Now THAT would be fun. I've never felt so free to do what I wish with my life. (Comment on this)

8:54 pm	Wow, my third sunburn in a week and a half. There must be something about the altitude that makes it easier to burn. Well, today after work (a long long long day of work) it was far too beautiful to waste. So I grabbed my book and blanket, and headed down the mountain for a bit of privacy. It does get hard, living with 2 girls all of the time. I feel like I'm back in high school, at home with my sisters. But then at least I had my own room. Anyways, the mountain. I layed down my blanket and settled in with the book "My side of the Mountain" by Jean Craighead George, the old favorite. I will never grow sick of that book. Especially now, since it was kind of a stupid dream of mine to read that book under a tree on a side of a mountain. Kinda cliche, but I don't care. It was happy. I got a letter from a pal of mine, Sylvie from graphic design telling me all about the restaurant project.. scary times as I can recall. It's really good to hear from her though. (Comment on this)

2:45 pm	Well, on Mr. Carruthers request (and for my grandma (: ) I've decided to update this. Things are still going great, i'm in Kananaskis Alberta and loving every minute of it. I booked plane tickets home for graduation, I'll be home on the 24-30 of may, or something like that anyways. I do miss my little island though. I get reminded daily that it's all I ever talk about, and I make it sound like a paradise. I simply remind them that it is. I have managed to meet up with a few Islanders here! There are currently 3 working at the Delta. A buddy of mine is coming here on Saturday to start though, so then it'll be 4. Hooray! We're slowly taking over! I live in a very small 3 person "bachelorette pad" basically. we all sleep in one room with our kitchen and bathroom. It's a good thing that we all get along! Today I have the day off, and I'm going to walk down the mountain to the little river thing below and take some time for myself. EDIT: I just got back from sun bathing with a group of friends, I came back for my sketchbook. today is beautiful. Current Mood: cheerful (1 Comment |Comment on this)

1:17 pm	First Entry Hi everybody! This is my first entry in my new travel journal. I thought that this would come in handy in case you all wanted to keep an eye on me while I'm away. I'll write in it whenever I can, whatever I feel like at the time. I hope it's an accurate record of my time away when I return home. Love you. Moe (1 Comment |Comment on this)
