Another Day in the Office

So word on the street is that it could snow this weekend. That's kinda crazy, but not that crazy and I'd be prepared because the 'rents sent me all my winter stuff.
So far, I've been really lucky with all the mail I've recieved while being away and I just want to thank everyone. So far I have recieved letters or packages from my cousin, my grandma, my parents, Rachel, Rebecca, Jessica, and Tristan. Thank you guys SO much and I'm super lucky to have great friends and family! (Not bragging but if getting mail were a contest, I've won) ahaha.
The only difficult part about this is to find the time to write back to all my wonderful friends and family, hahaha. Please be patient because I have only 4 blocks free time a week and usually two are spent sleeping and two are spent chillin'. I swear I have no forgotten about any of you, I just need to get my mind in gear and write like a million letters in one day.
Today I got my first volunteer profile since starting at Volunteer V-hoof. That's awesome, now I just have to call all the organizations which has proven to be harder than expected. Either the contact is the wrong number, the contact no longer works with the organization, or the organization has no need whatsoever for volunteers, or I just can't reach them at the number I have, so it's been great.
We are billeting next week I think. Or the week after, something like that. Melissa has been running around and tracking down billet families for all of us. I may go with a couple thats around 65, whose children are all grown up and moved away and whoo have a little dog who will probably remind me a little bit too much of Cleo... Billeting is going to be such a new and interesting experience. Can't say at this point I'd really mind getting away from the group for a little while, and nothing besides still going to your volunteer placement is Katimavik related while you're away so I can sort of have a breather. However, I'm not really good with coming up with independant activities to do ever since living in Katimavik. Since I'm a social person I always want to be with people and besides sleeping and showering there probably has not been more than an hour where I'm completely by myself and doing something independently.. so that's pretty darn crazy. Rents, I want a picture of Cleo! Asap!
Like the blog re-vamping? I know, so legit.
