All done and plans and a grand adventure

Well, I have good news: All three of those assignments I (just barely) managed to complete on time. I e-mailed the last one in last night, and now I am home free. Nothing is due for two more weeks, and I have Reading Week.

Highlights of Reading Week will include:
  • Today: young peoples. Peter and Kelly have prepared something on relationships.
  • Tomorrow: Church
  • Tuesday: Going to Sherwood Park for a Criminal Record Check, and then giving it to my boss. I can then arrange when to start working. I spent two hours there yesterday for orientation. (Neat fact: The office for my work is just around the corner from this fantastic teashop, called Steepes. Maryanne, you would love it, I'm sure.)
  • Next weekend: Going to Saskatoon for my grandparent's 50th anniversary bash. Oooh, I should check to see what YPs will be out there.
  • In the middle: This is undecided. I may start working, or I may go home for a couple days. In that case, I want to visit a few friends.

Last night, Grant, Nathan, Dan, Carla, Rebekah, and I were hanging around and decided to go to Steepes. Except that we decided to be adventurous and take the bus, instead of driving. So, with me being the navigator, we went down there and had a fair bit of fun. We took some really funny pictures. Then, it was time to go home, but we had just missed our bus by a minute and a half. It was very sad. The next bus didn't come for an hour, so most of us (not Grant and Dan) decided to hoof it. We were about halfway home when Grant and Dan pulled up in a taxivan, so we all hopped in. And that was our grand adventure.

Valentines Day

Well, I had a rather interesting Valentine's Day. Last night, Rebekah and I were sitting at home watching American Idol when Grant and Peter Hill came over and asked us if we wanted to go out for some dessert for Valentine's Day. It was pretty fun, we went to this cute little restraunt called Cafe Select, and the atmosphere was so incredibly romantic.. they had no overhead lights, just candles, and flowers at all the tables. It was chalk full of couples, straight or otherwise, and I think they were a little wierded out when we asked for 4. Oh well, it would have been wierder to ask for three. Actually, that would have been super funny.

The we went out and drove around Glenora, where all the ritzy houses are overlooking the river and admired them for a while.

So all in all it was rather fun. Who needs a boyfriend on Valentine's Day when you have friends to hang out with?

Actually, I don't believe that myself. But it was worth a try.

Oooh, and I got my invite to Saryn and Dan's wedding yesterday. Yay!

Back to homework.

I am falling behind....

So, I was sitting in my Children and Adolescents class this morning, when it suddenly dawned on me with a gasp of horror that I have three assignments due in the next week and a half, and I haven't started on any of them.

To put is mildly, "Eeek!"

So, you may ask why I am blogging instead of working.

Good question. I don't know myself.
