What have I been up to?

Well alot actually since my last post.


After returning to Canada in June I worked for the first time ever at the Calgary Stampede and not only that but I worked in a pizza stand Yes I know, hard to believe but it’s the truth. I t was actually kind of fun except for the part when I’m so longer in love with Pizza. But hey got on to the rides for free :) After working at the stampede I went back to work at Bath and Body Works, I have an addiction...

Another exciting event hat happened was that while I was working I was applying to dental hygiene colleges out in Toronto. Things weren't looking too bright because I had not started applying until later, because we were in Mexico. But a week before one of the schools started I got a call, I was accepted! Well the mad rush began and my mom and I flew out to Toronto 1 day before classes started. School was great, it was allot of work but it was interesting and kept me busy. I moved into a house with another dental hygiene student, things were going good.

And then... things got bad. Turns out that the school that I had applied to didn't have their accreditation, which was NOT what I was told prior to coming out to attend. They reassured us that they would have the papers in December, so I waited, they were very convincing tell us everything would be fine. I was dumb and believed them, even though they gave us a document that we had to sign stating that we may not be eligible to write our board exams. KINDA IMPORTANT.... Once December came around and we had a meeting on the last day we could withdraw from the program without having an academic penalty and lose tuition money, they told us they were denied their accreditation status. Well I was not going to be staying at that school when I would be risking all my time and money. My mom called a whole bunch of schools while I still went to classes on Monday, and before the day was over, I had decided to leave the school.

I had one week to get things organized to attend another school before I left to Mexico for Christmas. I managed to get it all done, and got into the new school which started at the end of January.

We had a good Christmas in Mexico this year, and I certainly appreciated going somewhere warm. Walking and taking the bus everywhere in the snow and cold is not alot of fun... burr... (I’m still cold from this morning’ strip

The next item of business that I needed to attend to when I got home was find a new place to move to. Not only was I getting sick of roommates, but my new school was 2 hours away by subway from the house I was at. I had a hard time finding a place. There were quite a few tiny grimy places, with equally creepy landlords, which put a damper on my mood. School started and for about a month I was making the 2 hour trek every morning for 8 am classes... ick... Once again I am soo not a morning person. Anyways last week I went to see a place on Saturday that looked promising. I saw it; it needed some cleaning but looked good. I made up my mind the following day, and moved in the following Saturday ahahaha wasn’t that fun... I hate moving.

Things are going good however, I like my new place which is ALL my own :) Just me, myself and I! I'm slowly getting things clean and unpacked. School is going good as well, I aced all of my quizzes last week and this week I have another quiz and one midterm, so wish me luck!

I will post some pics of my apartment once I get it all cleaned and organized and pretty.
Hopefully I will be able to post more often now that I have a wonderfully exciting computer classes for a couple hours on Tuesday morning.
