The End is Nigh

Katimavik is now coming to a close. Like a pregnancy, I feel I should reflect. It has been 9 months of my life after all.

One thing I've realized is that I am far from being done learning. I love learning. I found that out at the marsh. Learning what all the different things are and telling the kids all about it too. The look on a kids face when I tell them that a glass of water in the marsh could stay there for 1 000 years is priceless.

Another, I like working with people. The soup kitchen and the marsh were highlights because I got to be around people and socialize while working. So there's a definite career path in that direction.

Living with people is hard. I didn't realize how anal I can be about stuff. Like chewing with your mouth open. Small thing that actually really bothers me. And dirty houses. Eww. Not to mention certain personalities. I'll mention that next.

I've discovered some personalities that don't work well with me. People hwo don't take initative while I work my butt off gets old very fast. Partially because I feel that everyone should know exactly what to do...like I do. But I now know that they don't. Some people need a little prompting then away they go! And they do a good job. They just need a little nudge first is all.

Everyone is from a different background. Some have more experience in life, while others have more experience in books and others, yet, have experience in neither. We all have different ways of dealing with things. Some are destructive, others implosive. Our senses of humour are different. What I think is taking it too far is hilarious to others.

Everyone has different taste...literally. One guy in my group dumps a good layer of cayanne pepper on everything...I can't even handle a little bit of pepper. And cooking for all of the needs like that is quite the challenge.

That's all for now...but more reflection will be brought up. For shizzle.

Love you all! I'll be in Alberta today actually...in about 7 hours and I don't know when I can post again, so until then. Peace and Love Forevs.

How Time Flys

Did anyone else thing of a clock with wings when they read that? No? Well then you haven't turned on your imagination. You can locate the button right behind your left ear. Press it, then read the title again. See what I mean?

Imaginations aside, it is June 12th 2009 and I only have 5 days left in Katimavik. I feel that need to swear to prove how epic this is for me except I will refrain. Mainly because my family reads this (yes mother...i occasionaly swear) and I don;t know who looks over your shoulders when you read this. BUT 5 DAYS!!!! That's ridiculous!

I left September 17th of last year and it's June 12th. That's almost a whole school year! And next Wednesday I head of to Alberta to work at a summer camp. :O

I had to say good byw to Oak Hammock Marsh today. It was so sad. I made my unemotional boss almost cry. If I started he would have teared. And I gave out so many hugs. I'm going to bawl tonight. My only consolation is that I can visit at the end of the summer.

I will most likely post later...but in case I don't, I miss you all and I am thinking of you, even if I don't cantact you. I might be way too busy this summer. We'll have to see.

LOVE YOU!
MISS YOU!
SEE YOU IN SEPTEMBER!
