UMA

Haha, okay so first to explain the picture. Basically some days i'd rather be one of the orange barrels on the job site than a flagger. However, it dawned on me yesterday, as I was working in the pouring rain (yes I was very wet) that if I were a barrel all day, I would fill up when it rained! That would be so uncomfortable! Who wants to be full of water at work? And seriously... barrels dont get paid very much (as you can see from the picture) haha... okay so now you all know that I love being a flagger more than a barrel on a rainy day.

Next topic: This weekend is UMA! (Urban Mission Adventure). I will be going to Vancouver with a ton of other CBC students and we will be staying three nights at the Ivanhoe on Main st (I think that is where it is.. I could be wrong, I'll let you know when I acutally go there). I am pretty stoked to be going cuz Ive heard such freakin awesome reviews of the trip! But im also a little Nervous... I guess the big reason I am so nervous is because I dont really know how it will all work. Im sure once I am there it will be fine, but im not one to jump into something that I dont have much control of. "just let go Kara..." I know, I know. I dont really have a choice in this one!

So apart from doing UMA this weekend, I apparently have like three papers to write and my final project for Bookkeeping to do (that project will take at least 12 hours to do!) I am beginning to wonder if it was a good idea to do UMA THIS weekend!?! You know the real reason (besides the fact that this is the first weekend that i havent had a saturday class) that I chose this weekend to go is because I heard its the "warmer" one... haha Betcha its gonna just pour on me the entire time! Yes, that always happens. Like how yesterday was the only day I worked this week and do you see rain today? No. Did you see rain on Tuesday? No. But it rained ALL day yesterday didnt it? Go figure. haha. Such is life.

By the way, I am doing freakin awesome right now! Not just becuase I have had my coffee already... but beacuse I just feel good. (Yea, I am now re-addicted to timmies coffee... ive had one every day this week! some days two or three)... Things seem to be working out really good, and I am getting to excited about going up to Pines in like 6 weeks. I know that it will rain the entire spring, just because I will be there, but who cares!?! Its kinda like going home I guess? If that makes much sense to ya'll. May not cuz if you've never been to pines, you wouldnt have a clue what I am talking about. But those of you who have still may not really get it. Maybe Im just stoked to have my big kitchen back! haha I loved cooking with GIANT appliances last spring! Making apple tarts in huge muffin tins that cover the entire counter :P (a little bit of over exaggeration there... the counters are big too). Its all pretty much awesome.

Im now off to see my optomitrist and find out how bad my eyes are! haha I seriously cant see road signs any more, so it will be a good thing to get new lenses and contacts and what not. Hopefully I dont have any scary eye diseases that will make me blind by next week, cuz then I cant work anymore. Or drive.. or type - well acutally I could still type cuz I dont even look at the keyboard (I am THAT good!). Okay Have a great weekend guys and gals!
