Last day of work.

hey everyone!
So right now I'm at work on my very last day at Volunteer Vanderhoof and my last hopefully) 20 minutes. A thank you for card for Reg is on my left and my desk is perfectly organized for the Katimvik Volunteer who will take my place next week.
We only have 4 more days left in Vanderhoof at this point!
This evening we will be doing some end of rotation reflection again. Last time we had reflection Mel made us imagine how Quebec City would be different than Vanderhoof, and what sorts of activities we'd like to do there. We also had to do the cross the room activity if you agree or disagree and basically questions on how we've changed during Katimavik. I love reflection because I can actually hear everyones opinions and how people felt about their experience in Vanderhoof. I talk with my group members everyday but we rarely sit down and talk about exactly what we've been getting out of our experiences.
Last night Reg had us over to the neighbourhood space and bought us pizza and we watched Petropolis, a documentary on the Alberta tar sands. That documentary can make you very embarrased to live in Alberta when you're 1 out of the 2 people who come from the province. For every 1 barrel of useful product they make they permanently dirty 3 barrels worth of water. The devestation and affects on the planet that has come as a result the of the tar sands is irreversable and graphically disturbing.
Tomorrow and Sunday are going to consist of intense cleaning and cooking. We need to prepare food for Quesnel who are coming on Monday, and prepare meals, bake bread and grocery shop for the Quebec Group who are switching with us. As well as this we need to intense clean and we're talking like moving couches and vacuuming and moving ovens and fridges style. It's not going to be too fun or anything, and I feel bad for Sarah because it's her 19th birthday and she's going to spend it cleaning the Katima house top to bottom.
Today is Isaacs 18th birthday btw!
So then on Monday around 3, Annie and Amy are driving Quesnel down here in the vans and then Mel and Annie are going to chill in PG while Amy and a lady named Danielle from head office is going to do somemore cleaning and somemore reflection with us. I'm slightly apprehensive of the 25 bodies, and 2 people being in charge I've seen only a few times or not at all. We need to wash our sheets and fold them and put them away and sleep on bare bunks with our own sleeping bags. I normally would not care but we're also supposed to have all our stuff packed, but I need to pack my sleeping bag in my luggage in order to pack properly and I can't put that in until late Tuesday night.. ohh the struggles in my life hey...
Travel day will be interesting as we have to be awake at 3, to leave at 4 to get to Prince George at 5, to leave at 7 and then go to Vancouver, fly to Montreal, drive in a bus with 2 other groups first to Victoriaville, and then to Levis, and then finally Ste. Foy/Quebec City. It's going to be a wild ride.
I also had the oppertunity to do more anti-bullying presentations and they went pretty well.
It's been a... pleasure... volunteer Vanderhoof, but it's time to say goodbye, Charlyne my boss is heading down here soon to give me my reference letter.
Wish me luck this weekend!!
