sigh...

no matter how good my intentions are, i can never pull together some consistent posting on here! i read other blogs all the time, and then neglect my own....sigh...

Anyway, life is good!!! We're having a heat wave, which i'm loving (for the most part...wishing i was at the lake instead of here but whatevs) and I go on holidays in a week and a half!

To update you from a month ago: well as you clearly saw in my last post, I had finished writing my thesis. Two weeks later, I had to defend it, which was a whole other stressful experience in itself, but it went smashingly well and now it's all done!! I'm just finishing up one last online course (which hardly counts as a course at all, if you consider the effort i'm investing...lol) but really, in my mind, I should start signing "MA" after my name right now...lol

I also got my very first paycheck today!!!!! woo hooooooo!! For most of the summer, I will be covering holidays for various counselors at both the men's treatment center (where i did my practicum) and the affiliated women's treatment center. Last week i worked with the women, and this week i'm back with the men. Next week i take on the women again...and then i go on holidays! In august i will be with the men for about 3 weeks. It's great to be working, and actually making money doing something i enjoy!!

Like i said, I am about to go on holidays. I will be in Winnipeg for a week, spending a few days at the lake and then as a bridesmaid for a good friend. Then my family and I are spending 2 weeks on the east coast. We will be in New Brunswick for the long weekend (1st weekend in august) for a good old fashioned family reunion. This event will be a blast, let me tell you...our family knows how to have a good time! I will definitely post pics of the highly competitive events such as beach volleyball and croquet :) After the reunion, we will tour around Nova Scotia and PEI before flying back westerly. I am most excited!

So never fear, more posts shall follow, complete with pictures. Until then....happy sunshine!!

sounds like you are getting a good mixture of work and play. man, you canadians know how to do holidays right, taking tons of time off for relaxing and doing. i am anxious to get to PEI some day, thanks to my love of Anne of Green Gables. i'll be most eager to see those pics you take. you are a good blogger, keep it up. :)
