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.
