News Flashhh
Hokay so not a lot a time, but I do have some stuff to update.
The other day while at work, a woman called my house from Katimavik. My mom got her number and whatever and I called her the next morning. She told me that I will be flying to BC which actually surprised me, because really? I thought Greyhound for 10 hrs would be cheaper but maybe not. I love flying though so I'm not complaining, I'm just gonna be there in no time, like maybe 2 hrs? She said we're meeting up in Prince George so I guess we're going to have our Mass O there and then Vanderhoof is about an hourish drive away. She said I'd also be flying back from Quebec later on, obviously lol because that would be an insane drive. She said all my luggage requirements have to follow Air Canada/West Jet which is what we bought our luggage according to so that is good.
I also bought my netbook finally. It's a toshiba and pretty good so far. Only MAJOR dissapointmet is that you can't change the desktop backround. Like really? That is pretty much why a bought the stupid thing but whatever. So it's kinda ugly, but I'll deal with it. I guess I won't care much when I'm in the middle of nowhere and am on FB.
Aaaand I take back what I said about my group members not talking to me, both started talking to me at the same time the other night which was cool. They both sound really nice. Another girl added me too and is friends with one of my group members so perhaps she is a 4th member to the group? She hasn't talked to me yet so we'll see. 42 days / a month and 11 days until I leave, which really is not that far away.
I'll update next when something update worthy comes along. :P

It's the final countdownnnn!
Well, not really, but it's actually not all that long until it's time to head off!
I was realizing today that a lot has to happen in a very small amount of time which is pretty intense. Like in 5 days, I need to cancel my cell phone, and in 21 days I need to hand in my resignation, it's my birthday/going away party and I need to make arrangements to give away my hamster. As of a half an hour from now, I have 6 weeks until I leave!
I have found two people who are in my group on facebook, but I have not talked to either of them, and neither of them have talked to me, so that's exciting. I don't really know the point of having them on FB yet if we're not going to talk or anything, but the one is from Calgary so perhaps we will meet up on the way to BC.
So far my Quebec City address is posted, but not the address to my house in BC so that's weird and does not make much sense as I'm going to BC first. However this could just mean they had to switch Katimavik houses or something.
Vanderhoof although epically small (4500 pop.) does have my bank, RBC and it does have an LDS church so that's pretty convenient. A couple in my ward informed me there are two streets that actually have stores on them so that's great.. I think they have a library too.
I should really start learning my French, and I need an ID so why not get my learners while I'm at it? If only I could find my learners book hey?
Work is goin' decently, a month has already basically flown by so that's good, and the money is extremely useful at this point in time as I've already got a new Ipod, new wardrobe, new camera and maybe a new netbook tomorrow.
I am subtly leaving hints everywhere I go for my friends, letting them know to keep in touch while I am away. I hope they are listening because it would be legit awesome if I had some tie to society while living in a tiny town in northern BC. It's officially 10 hrs away from E-town and from where my bro lives in the same province. The closest city is Prince George and I think that's three hours away so I'm sure I'll have to get creative with our 48 hours off.
OOH and crazy exciting news!!! (Not really) Katimavik asked me for my T-shirt size so that means Imma get in on some of this bright green shirt action.
