From Care-free Country to Chaos City..

Hello again! A lot has happened the last few weeks for me and I have been very busy so forgive me.
I moved back to Halifax to start my second year at school. I've moved in to my first place of my OWN. It's a house that I share with a bunch of girls (5), and it's pretty fantastic! So I've been living here for almost a week now and my ordered furniture is yet to arrive...which really stinks. I've been sleeping on an air matress and my stuff is everywhere because I have no where to put it.. My stuff was supposed to come today but I guess there was some big mix up that I'm not going to go into so they aren't bringing it for another couple days. Oh well, I'll live. But just to give you an idea of my living situation right now here's a picture:














My first day of classes was yesterday. They all seem really good, except for MicroEconomics which I am really scared for! I have my first ever seminar class and it's focused on Post Colonial Lit (Africa, South Asia and the Carribean), there's only like 6 people in and my prof seems really cool. I'm really psyched for that course. Then I have a bunch of first year courses that I needed to take that I didnt last year.. but they seem good and there's lots of 2nd/3rd year students taking those too.

But yeah.. I've been super busy since the moment I arrived. Running around trying to get things organized for a student organization for human rights and international issues that I'm co-chair of called WUSC (I'll write more about that specifically in the future). Today I spent all day recruiting for example and I've had meetings with people for the last 3 days. It's all good though, we are just going to be super busy this year trying to fundraise and make everything a success.

My last day at work was the 29th. Here's a picture of K and I. I bought her that pink stuffie as a good-bye gift (pink is her favorite color), she freaked! She loved it soooo much! She's all
"mom loooook, Katie give it to me!!! I'm going to bring it too school!! Okay mom? I'm going to bring it to school with me!! Yayyyyy *dancing around, giving me hugs* Thank you! Thank you Katie!"

I'm going to miss that chick. I got Drew a Pound Puppy stuffie. She loved that too. As I mentioned before she is nuts for dogs. I gave to her before she left for the day and she was so pleased. She looked at me and said "Oh THANK you!" in her high pitched excited voice wearing her typical grin. Then she took it in her arms and squeezed it gently with love.

It was a hard last day. We councillors were sad to see all the kids go, and I think they were sad to see us go too. The hardest part was saying good bye to Drew. On the way home I cried. Because I knew I might never see her again.

Anyway I'm off to a meeting soon. I'll try to continue to post regularly but it won't be as often with all this stuff I have going on.
