@ Geo's, Part 2.

Okay, so I'm at my own house... but people are over... and some of them are complaining that I havn't updated lately... and I figured since Jacklyn has a Part 1... somebody has to do a Part 2. :P But I don't really have anything interesting/important to say... so... lets see...

I love playing sports... but man, with a swarm of mosquitos following you every where you go; It SUCKS! No matter how much bug repellent you spray yourself with, they're still all over you. And as most of you know, I HATE bugs... like totally detest... okay, so I'm pretty much bugaphobic, so it sucks that much more having a swarm of mosquitos flying in circles above your head everytime you stop to catch a breather... and then you're stuck trying to make sure you don't swallow any.
Stupid rainy year. When it first started raining in May; I was actually happy. I was thinking, yeah, we're not going to have a drought this year, that's a good thing. And then it kept on raining, and raining, and raining, and raining. Now there are flooded cities/towns, tons of flood damage (the west side bridge to cross onto Princes Island Park was washed away, with a bench sitting in the middle of the bow river. :P ) and a whole swarm of mosquitos. So that sucks. Hopefully, there are less mosquitos and less rain and more sun when VBS starts next week. We're overloaded, but it's going to be a blast. Hopefully, everything will work out perfectly.
But on a positive note. 7-eleven has these cool Star Wars slurpee cups with Darth Vader heads as lids. They were 3 dollars, but I think they're worth it. There are 4 to collect... so I'll probably end up collecting all 4, if we end up going to 7-eleven consistently after playing sports.

It Begins with the Bat, and the Aid always comes First.


Well, I went to watch Batman Begins tonight with Philip, Kenric and Gooi. And, I must say. I had pretty high expectations going in, and I came out thinking that this was the worst batman movie I ever saw. Oh wait, sorry, did I say the worst? I meant, the best. :P I really liked it, it had good action sequences, cool gadgets, good characters, good plot. Overall, a very good movie, worth the trip to the theatre. I really hope they do go for trying to do 2 more batman movies with the Bale character.

Oh, and for those who was asking about what test I took today. I PASSED!! My piano exam. Oh wait, we already clarified that I wasn't taking a piano exam. Okay, so I passed my BIOCH 203 Exam... but wait... I failed BIOCH 203 and have given up on it, so I guess that isn't right either. :P So, okay... no more lies, as Kingston has already demanded, haha. I passed my Standard First Aid with CPR level C Upgrade including Basic Rescuer (though I still don't know what the basic rescuer card is for... what's the dif from the standard first aid with cpr level c card?). So, why was I trying to study for an upgrade? Because I havn't taken a first aid course in over 3 years and have only had to use first aid once in those 3 years. And it is always good to be ontop of such information, especially First Aid and CPR skills, cause if you only just pass (okay, so you can only pass with 84% or higher, but still)... it doesn't seem like you are truly capable of helping people. But yeah, I got 98% and passed all my skills. :P Missed one question though. I didn't think a head injury could cause vomitting as well as nausea. But I guess if it was severe enough, it would. Oh well... missed my 100%. But at least I'm re-certified now.

Super Nanny


Okay, so not really a nanny and not that super. But I ended up going over to babysit Pierson and Courtney for the evening. They were astonishingly really well behaved, which is awesome. haha. I helped Pierson with his homework, which he did without grumbling and even took my extra challenges without complaining. He is such a good kid. He even helped me in trying to understand Courtney's gibberish, haha. And Courtney is... the attention seeker, and the gibberish-talker. But she at least is obedient now, so that's awesome.
But, yet another day where I ended up doing something I never expected to do, and yet another day where I didn't get any studying done because of it. Sigh, next 2 days is cram time. Hope I pass on Saturday.

780 to 403

Well, it appears to be official. Or at least, getting closer and closer to being official. And what is becoming official you ask? I believe I am no longer going to be half-edmontonian anymore... and back to being pure Calgarian (though everybody in Edmonton will argue that I was always Calgarian and those in Calgary will argue that I had already become an Edmontonian). But yeah, received my required to withdraw letter from the UofA (again, sigh... when will I learn) and I am not even going to appeal it because I'm sure I don't have a strong enough argument to beat it.

So what am I to do? I am currently in the process of applying to SAIT (in the direction of paramedics) and Bow Valley College (in the direction of nursing). Hopefully, everything will work out really well. I'm pretty scared right now, about what direction I'm heading in life... and I'm quite confused about where to go. I'm also quite depressed that I wasn't able to take hold of what I was given at UofA and accomplish something more than two withdrawal letters in a record 3 years. So, hopefully I have at the very least become a better, more mature individual that is stronger physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally then I was before I left for UofA.

And since I have pretty much made the decision that I will be staying in Calgary full-time now, I have also gotten a new cell-phone in the 403 district. If you want it, just ask, as you will no longer have a need to call long-distance to reach me anymore. :P And for those who have my 780 number... it will remain active till the end of the month, at which point, Telus will kindly deactivate the account.

To finish off this blog, I would like to ask for your prayers that I may learn God's will for me and that I will be able to follow His plans for me. For those of you who have been praying for me since I left for UofA, I would like to thank you all for your prayers. :P

Wedding Pictures


Okay, for those who have been asking (Linda)... My Photos has been updated for pictures taken at Mo's Wedding.

Star Wars Geek


Well... since everybody seems to be making fun of my Star Wars geekiness, hehe... I thought I would post a picture that I found online that I thought was quite funny. And that is a true Star Wars geek... I am not. :P
