Things?
Hey Y'all!
My roomie is finally home, only to be leaving for another three weeks for work purposes, but his g/f has finally moved in and she'll be staying in town to job hunt and take care of the fish in his absence (lucky for me).
Having Mike here was wonderful and blissful and all sorts of happy adjectives, he took me out to dinner, and cooked for me and generally made my life totally awesome for three days, and then he left and it was sad. Went home that weekend and hung out with Jay for a bit, which is always a good time, even if i did fall asleep super early at the party. Went hiking a bit in the old greenbelt and collected a few granite samples which I showed to parents to educate them about basic rockery. Had a fine time relaxing, got into the pool, all was well. Then I saw Mike for 40 minutes on Monday as he was on his way out to newfoundland and I was on my way back to sudbury, which was a nice surprise. But now he's gone and internetless for the next two months, and boy is it hard sometimes. I know he misses me, though, so I guess it could be worse.
Parents might come up next weekend to hang out and blueberry pick, and I'm really excited. Being away from home for the summer means I can't properly refuel my parentlove tanks, and it makes me sad =(.
Speaking of blueberries, it's finally blueberry season! And omg there is a huge patch right beside my outcrop!! Amazing and delicious. I love Northern Ontario.
Work is going the same as always: Map a bit, move 2 ft., map some more, repeat. Gunna be choppin' up some rick with a giant enormous saw (http://herdezpawn.com/zencart/images/STIHL.jpg <-- example, not mine, but about the same size. mmm... STIHL 800 series masonary saw... *drool*...) for sampling purposes. Pretty excited about that. Hard to beleive that I only have a month and a half left, and less than that working with Lindsay... crazyness... where did my summer go? I've basically resigned myself to the last two weeks before school will have to make up for working and being alone all summer long. Like, working in Sudbury all summer wouldn't be so bad if all my friends hadn't left me to go work in whoknowswheremiddleofnowherei'msojelous. Oh well, next year.
I'm still trying to work out if I want to switch to Geology or not. I'm 90% on the geology side, because I realized the other day that I love my job. As boring and tedious as it is, not a day goes by when I think "Thank god I'm getting paid or else this would not be worth it". I don't even think about the money, I would honestly do it for free, the money is just a perk to me. And since I'm not exactly destitute it really doesn't bother me that i'm getting the geological equivalent of an illegally low wage. But then again, switching now would mean being behind in a whole bunch of classes, and graduating a year behind everyone I know. Ouch. Not to mention the workload I'll have to endure to catch up. Finally I have a boyfriend who can actually be of some use in that at least. Gah, it's such a hard decision to make and there's not a soul I can talk to about it who isn't biased and actually knows what I'm talking about.
Why is life so complicated sometimes?
Angst!Sarah Out.
