I have recently started my second year at the University of Lethbridge, and keeping with last year, will use this page to keep my friends and family up to date with what's going on in my life here.
First and foremost, I apologize for starting to late! Life and been pretty hectic recently and I haven't had a chance to write. That being said, I will try to summarize my summer and first week here at school.
To begin, my condolences go out to Gina Baretta and her family as they mourn the unexpected loss of her father. Gina was my main co-worker at my summer job this year and we grew to be good friends. My prayers are with her through this difficult time.
I worked all summer as the Supervisor at the Stony Plain & District Visitor Information Centre in my home town. As previously mentioned, I spent most of the summer with Gina Baretta, and amazing woman who is now attending Concordia University College in Edmonton. Summer was a lot of fun. I got to meet a bunch of interesting people and learn a ton of new things about tourism in Alberta.
The last week of my job however, I had my Wisdom Teeth removed, which I'm still recovering from. The first day was the worst! On the drive home, I didn't make it 20 minutes before I threw up all over myself. I apparently swallowed a lot of blood and didn't drink enough Ginger Ale before I took my pain medication, a really bad combination. All day I was starving, but didn't feel like eating, my medication made me dizzy and nauseous, plus I couldn't feel my face from the 24 hr Ice packs wrapped around them. It slowly got better, I got off the heavy pain killers and life pretty much got back to normal.
This year I am living with two of my sorority sisters, Alysha Young and Andrea Ziel, and so far, so good. We get along great, there have been a few minor issues but there always will be when you have three girls moving in together. I love my room and our place. We have a beautiful three bedroom basement suite, literally a ten minute walk from the University. We also have an amazing landlord who fixes anything we need fixing without complaint, he helped us move some furniture in, he re-painted and renovated one of the bedrooms because we asked, and without charging us for it! Plus, he let me move in last week of August and we didn't have to pay for that extra time and we can leave our stuff here next summer for only half of what we pay in rent per month! This place is really a dream come true, I can't imagine us living anywhere else. I'll try and get pictures up this weekend.
Classes are going well so far. My favorite is by far Islam. The prof is really cool and the material is really interesting.
This is also Rush Week at the University meaning that all the clubs on campus are trying to get people to sign up. I volunteered to make the schedule for our table, Delta Eta Iota Sorority, which I kind of regret as it was a lot more work than I expected it to be. I don't know what it is with the Sorority Events, but every time there's an emergency in Lethbridge, it seems to fall on a day when we have an event. Take Monday for instance. Another huge fire!
(I DID NOT TAKE THESE PHOTOs, I got them off of news sites and other internet resources, I was nowhere near the fire, I was at the University on evacuation stand-by)
So that was an interesting turn of events. So far that really seems to be it. I'm currently taking a study break and decided I should get some posts up on my blog about my life again. At 7 I'm going to a Games Night Mixer at the University with Kappa Pi Chi and Kappa Sigma to mingle with the potential pledges and to get to know the current members a little more.
