Yep, I made it. All the way from Carman to Saskatoon in 1 day. It took 8 hours and 25 minutes. I can usually make it in exactly 8 hours but thanks to a longer break in Brandon (I was feeling kind of sick so I stopped for longer than usual) and a slight detour in Regina (I missed my turnoff), it took 25 minutes longer. But I got here alive.
So now I'm trying to adjust to living with 2 other people (my mom and brother Jarrett) instead of all by myself like I have for the past 4 years. Its a bit tough having a LOT smaller space to myself (Instead of a whole house, I only have a bedroom that is only mine). Unfortunately I also have smaller closet space here, that is kind of a big deal considering the massive amounts of clothes I have. But I'll make it work. I finally found my picture frames on the weekend so they're up now. Oh and now I have my stereo in my room so I can listen to something other than whatever channel 706 on digital cable galaxy is playing (I seriously heard Irreplaceable by Beyonce 3 times in 2 hours. I mean I love the song, but seriously).
But most likely I"ll be starting school next Tuesday, I know as in a week from today. I was planning on just working for awhile but then I realized I can take the course I want to starting now so I thought I "mind as well" (thats for you Kelly!) do it now then I can get working in a job I like sooner rather than spending the next 5 months working in the mall or Rogers video (those were beginning to look like my better options). Its a Legal Administrative Assistant Course and will take 9-10 months. Right now I'm working on some paperwork for a program that will hopefully pay for 2/3 of my program for FREE! Like I'd never have to pay it back! So I am really praying that that will work out, it would just be so great to have that. During April it will just be night classes, Tues and Thurs nights 6:30-8:30. Then it'll be full time during the days starting in May and the night classes until June 16. So May will be looking fairly busy. But I am SO excited to get on with life and be able to apply myself to something again. I really feel like I'm ready for it.
Other exciting events of the past week: my brother finally found a job (working at a PetroCan station just a few blocks from our house), I got a new cell phone that I don't like and will unfortunetly have to put up with for at least 2 years, Saskatoon is going crazy because the Juno awards are here this weekend (I'm going Nelly Furtado stalking on Sat.), it was warm enough to go outside with no sweater on the weekend, I got my hair trimmed so it doesn't look so heavy (maybe not a big deal to some, HUGE deal to me), and...I JUST found out that Justin Timberlake is coming to Winnipeg Aug. 25. Looks like road trip time for me!!! OH MY GOODNESS!!!!
Anyways, thats life here in toon town for now.
