"Firing guns on a boat-dumb, lobing grenades on a boat-stupid, but firing missiles at the walls?"
So I guess I'm long overdue for an update... seeing as livejournal tells me its been 17 weeks. So here's what's going on.
Finished school: Thank goodness!
Went to Sky and Kevin's wedding: Had a fantabulous time! Forgot camera so you have to snoop on facebook to find photos that others took. Algonquin is beautiful... saw a coyote and a moose with baby, canoed, etc.
Went to Amanda and Trevor's wedding: Had a fantabulous time! Remembered camera... photos can be found on facebook... ask if you want the link. Happened to get present that worked perfectly with the wedding cake toppers. Saw old friends and was throughly amused at how much people change and yet remain the same.
Didn't go to England... but did do manymany interviews: Of six interviews was rejected twice, turned down one second interview, turned down two job offers, and landed the job at Novelis... where starting in September I will be paid alot of money to learn everything there is to know about the process of rolling aluminum. Also how to spell aluminum properly the first time. I will be in Kingston for 18 months then either fired, sent to a plant somewhere in Canada, USofA, Brazil, Korea, or Europe, or kept at the research center in Kingston.
Convocationed June 11th: Nice to see everyone, have dinner with Mom and Dad, party at Matt's (to which I did not bring a camera), and moved out of Waterloo the next day. Went to Ajae's on the 12th (with a brief stop in Mississauga (4 hours in the car). Then left early in the morning on the 13th for Ottawa with all Ajae's crap... I mean stuff.
Was left in Ottawa (to unpack) while Ajae drove back to Arkona to return his parent's car and trailer, he was driven back on Sunday by his grandparents who visited with us till Wednesday night (they had their own hotel)
Been to the War museum, the AGO (with Aunt Martha + Ajae) saw the 1930s and Inuit + Aboriginal Dutch, Finnish, and Norwegian exhibit, hung out with Aunt Martha the weekend Ajae's parents were down for Bluesfest and we wallked 5k in Gatineau park (Pink Lake + Mackenzie King waterfall trail + other little walks around the Mackenzie King estate). Sat outside Lebreton Flats last Friday and listened to Great Big Sea, danced a little, sang alot... thanks Vinay I know too many words to their music! They sang General Taylor... but not Captain Wedderburn... so then I looked up those when I got home.. couldn't remember all the words to Helmet Head either... which is sad considering how much we listened to it. also did the Ikea trip and Ajae carried a bookcase home on the bus.
Doing the reading thing again if anyone would like to suggest books please feel free! Either here or on facebook... reviews will be on facebook in the visual bookshelf application.
Currently working for Natural Resources from July 2 - Aug 26 as a Task Hazard Analysis form creator...then I get to run around and fill out the form for as many tasks as possible. Currently still programing the form so you enter the controlled substance it tells you was Hazard classes it falls under... only about 175 more substances to look up. (I'm using the list of chemicals known to be on the complex). It's a little boring right now... since the form hasn't been approved yet and I'm essentially searching Sigma Aldrich for a chemical and recording its class in an Excel spreadsheet.
Itinerary for upcoming weekends:
July 18th-21st: Nothing yet... maybe shopping or Aunt Martha
July 25th-27th: Mom is coming on the 26th for the afternoon and dinner before she and my aunt go on vacation. Brent and Heather maybe visiting but haven't confirmed yet.
Aug 1st-4th: Home to Mississauga on Friday night probably, then to Cambridge on Sat for Brent's party. Back in Missauga on Sunday I think then Ottawa on Monday probably. Confirmed party going... but I'm unsure about travel times. Leah if you can I'd love to see you Sunday afternoon/evening.
Aug 8th-10th: Nothing I know about.
Aug 15th-17th: Home to Mississauga on the 15th... Matt and Angela's wedding on the 16th, returning to Ottawa on the Sunday... Leah I don't know when we'll be back on Friday or leaving Sunday but if we can get together let's!
Aug 22nd-24th: Nothing I know about... possibly kite flying! or something
Aug 29th-30th: Opal goes back to Mississauga coordinates movement of her stuff from Mississauga to Kingston. Aunt Sara and Uncle Barry will be heading up later in the week (probably) with breakable stuff... and Aunt Martha will be bringing stuff from Ottawa for me probably the weekend of Sept 6th... I will be verry busy that weekend but would like to see who I can in Mississauga (Leah?) possibly a facebook event page will appear...
Sometime in mid-September I will be home for my grandparents 60th wedding anniversery party. Not sure when that is... but I will get to meet some of my cousins for the first time so I'm looking forward to it! (Actually one cousin I will be meeting her and her new son for the first at the same time!)
