Oh man.

TGI Friday. This week has been kind of a downer for some reason. There was a lot of school to catch up on, a lot more than expected after my week of galavanting down and around the coast. Although on tues. I did get to meet Chandra Crawford!! She was at a press conference in Van. It was pretty small, and only like an hour. My coach, Maria, knows her and so I got introduced as the Whistler Nordics new member...so it was cool finding out that she knows Skeets Morel and where Parry Sound is!
The rest of the week has consisted of forgetting very hard worked on projects at home, finding out about a chem midterm, being exhausted and freezing cold. I' hoping for a good weekend at least, Halloween party should be awesome.
Happy Weekend.

Another one!

Hey there!
Although I've been lazing around all week I have yet to update this. Surfing in Tofino was awesome, especially being able to run around in a full out neoprene suit; complete with hoodieand booties. On getting there, it was only by chance that we even made it there when we did: we were the very last car on the ferry, etc. On the Sunday I proceeded to do 9 hrs. of travelling by myself. Starting with the bus ride to Port Alberni that started with one two-laner windy highway and a bus, and ended with me re-visiting my pancakes in the parking lot...not so fun. The rest of the way to Victoria was fine though. Victoria was sweet, seeing the harbour, parliament buildings, out for dinner etc. The clipper to Seattle was pretty good, and I couldn't believe how good it felt to out on the water, wind blowing, etc! So for the rest of the week I've just been chilling in Seattle, staying at Ali's house and the rest of the fam is here on holiday's too. We've done some shopping, walking, bike ride and a heck of a lot of eating. We had a huge roast/bday dinner and a late thanksgiving dinner, I feel like a fat tub of lard right now. Speaking of food though there's a nice bowl of turkey soup and some french bread calling me...

Aha! So Thanksgiving weekend has already come! It comes so fast every year. I don't feel I've been away nearly long enough to want to come home or to even deserve to come home. I remember thinking about people away at University and thinking that it must be so long for them waiting for Thanksgiving. The Turkey sale has been all that's been going on. Although initially it was pretty exciting, that excitement easily wares off. Like, it was fun for the whole hour that I was shopping and other than that it's just been a week worth of getting home late, being exhausted, piles of dishes etc. and I'm not even the one working, it just kind of runs off at home. There was a week there where I wished that I had written about, it was a fab week; two hikes, party, good food and so much more but I don't have nearly enough energy right now to write about all of that. I watched the kids all day today..from waking up to going to bed and everything in between, including: birthday party, pumpkin pie, soccer and Saturday night Disco on Mountain FM. I am surprisingly a constant energy source today, but am fading right now and a warm bed and book sound great. We're invited to friend's for Thanksgiving dinner so I guess that's the plan. Next week and weekend should be another one of those high's that sucks to come down from. The plan is Tofino( surfing, camping, with church people) - Victoria-Seattle. And I've never been on the island, so it's always exciting to go to a new place. hmmm, I think that warm mug of milk is calling though,
Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey Hey!
So I'll admit that I've been busy enough to not have enough time to write as much as I'd like on this. Hiking and Church have been my faves so far. I've found this ski team to start training with, might be going to a training camp at Silver Star in Nov. I need to walk home though before it gets dark...and I have dinner waiting for me. I"m hoping to get on tonight to update this thing in detail though!
Adios
