| | I'm a terrible blogger.
It's been, what, a month? A little over, rather. Anyway, here's the skinny:
Employment:
I am a failed tree-planter; it was not the life for me. Worked for all
of June as a catch-all nanny/babysitter/housecleaner/servant for some
RichPeople in a RichNeighbourhood not especially close to home. Spent a
great many hours with Sebastien-the-biter and his sister; days
alternated between beatific and hellish. Am now packing in order to
tomorrow depart for camp, where I will be spending a week in a cabin
with about eight little girls as well as a co-counsellor. I get back on
Saturday the 8th; on Monday the 10th I begin six straight weeks of day
camp. Following day camp, I have a little bit of a break, and the head
back to the first camp to spend a week in the kitchen, and then a long
weekend chillaxing before school starts.
School:
I've picked my major: I'll be doing a double-M in English and History.
I've decided (sort of) that I'll be focussing on Canadian History
within my H. degree; still no thoughts on where I want to specialize
within the English.
Weddings: No,
I'm not engaged. But my cousin Ruth is. Also, my friend Jenna. It's all
quite exciting, and I'm hoping to soon hear similar news from Karen. I
expect that she's hoping, too.
Packing: It's
driving me a little crazy. I'm bringing up to Junior Girls this year
more things than I ever have before, and I'm not quite sure how
everything is going to fit. The good news is that I'm getting a ride
(thanks, H!) and don't have to take the bus up with all the campers.
Health:
It's been recently discovered that I have mild scoliosis. Not enough to
be treatable, mind you, just enough to deny me another precious
half-inch of height (and thus be rather irksome). I also got from my
doctor a prescription for some scary anti-inflammatory pills ("warning:
use of this medication has resulted in fetal and newborn death" and
other similar disaster warnings are included) which help my joints feel
a lot better. They've done some x-rays to try and figure out what
exactly is going on, but the results still won't be back for another
week or so.
Cookies: Phil made me some yesterday. They are delicious.
Dollar Stores: I
know, I know, people in China (or... wherever) are paid tiny amounts of
money to make cheap trinkets and things which we then buy here for tiny
amounts of money... but, I really like them. I've been getting a lot of
things for camp at dollarama and the like. It can be fun... highlights
include crazy straws, ugly teeth, a cabin set of mosquito-net hats
(oh-so-necessary in beautiful Muskoka this time of year), and taking
home 66 wooden boxes on the long, long subway ride.
This: is distracting me now... I need to go pack some more.
Right-o, then.
