Arrival in Paridise...
Well after nearly 40 hours of travelling I finally made it to my final destination in Australia, Ayr, where I will be spending the next week before moving on to the resort...At first I was worried that I wouldn't have enough to do to fill my time in Ayr but as I get organized I'm finding that I have too much to do and not enought time to do it in...Right now I'm just waiting for a call from Daniel to tell me that he's off work and that we can get together...I hope things go well, it's going to be wierd to see him after all this time, hopefully it won't be too awkward...Later tonight I also have a Rotary meeting to go to and I will once again see all the guys that made my exchange such an amazing time...The weather here is absolutely georgeous...not too hot, just beautiful...the laurakeets are squaking outside the window and as annoying as it is I have never heard such a beautiful sound...we'll anyway I had better go now...time to see more people and enjoy this amazing weather...till next time all my love to everyone back home...

I hate my neighbours...
I got up early this morning to go right my CISCO test at the ungodly hour of 8am (who subjects College students to such crulety anyway???)...Anyway after that was over and Shannon and Ryan and I had gotten a bite to eat I came back to Rez and went back to bed...What a wonderful sleep I was having until one of my neighbours lets out one of her annoying as hell screams for no reason...This continuted every now and then...and then one of the other ones starts banging on the window yelling at someone outside...I just wanted to get up and yell, "SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!" to them...grrrrr...oh well at least this is just happening now and hasn't been all year...I just have to survive 3 more days...

Why am I so nice...???
Well here I sit in my room and why am I writing right now...??? Because once again my neighbours and roommates have decided that they want to watch a movie on MY TV and VCR and their taste in movies is completely different than my own...Dammit why am I so nice that I can't say..."Fuck off, it's my TV and I want to watch it!!!"...No that's not me...I just sit and I let them enjoy their movie...Anyway it gives me time to stay ahead of Brad on the message board...I guess I'll just move my computer to my nightstand once again and curl up in bed and watch Spaceballs and go to bed early...ick, 8:00 CISCO test tomorrow...then I guess I's better spend the rest of the day packing...ick, packing...

I dropped my M&M's...
Last night I was kidnapped and whisked away to Sin City by this insane redhead with a crazed look in her eye and an insatiable desire to get wasted...how could I resist...??? I always manage to get myself into trouble at the good ol' Sin Bin but last night I managed to control myslef...although I must admit I was tempted by a certain friend of a friend... ;) Shannon and I had some of the best conversations we have ever had and it was just an absolutely amazing girls night out...When we got back to Rez Shannon went running back to her beloved boyfriend but not before I managed to spill my M&M's all over the floor and need her assitance to get back up after almost falling off my chair trying to pick them up and laughing my head off in the process...what's so funny about dropping M&M's on the floor you may ask...??? Really I don't know...hmmm...must have been the rye... :D

My last day of work and the insane line at the bar...
Well, Thursday afternoon I arrived at work and checked next weeks schedule which was supposed to be my last week and what do I find...? No hours at all next week...which means that Thursday night was my last day of work at the Peterborough Staples...For at least 4 months that is...Well anyway not only that but Crafty also tells me that we are the only ones on in Electronics...Ok, so they messed up the schedule, no biggie, I didn't expect it to be busy and there really wasn't a lot of work to do...Boy was I wrong!!! At 5:00 the manager Jenn pulls out a skid of stock and says, "There are 3 mores skids back there, they all need to get put out because they're waxing the floors tonight and everything has to be moved off the floor...this stuff has to be put away first or everything is not going to fit in receiving..." Well as you can imagine Jeff and I were not impressed but we just smiled and got down to work...All in all it didn't end up being too bad of a night...sure it was a lot of work but it was also a lot of fun...We even invented a couple of event for the Staple-lympics...The Pump Cart Races and the Receiving Climb...And I even managed to make Crafty's night when I was trying to pull a pump cart out from under a skid thst it was stuck on when it let go and I went flying onto my ass...Well we got everything done and moved so it was time to go home...
Shannon picked me up fom work (guy Shannon that is...) and we came back to my place where there was a message from girl Shannon saying that they were going out to the bar...We decided to go as well but when we got there the line was halfway down the street! We immedieately forgot about that and went back to my place to watch movies...
Friday was a beautiful lazy day...and after receiving a call from Asshole it was decided that I would accompany him and Lori to Sin City...It was a good night out and I had a lot of fun...Even though I did manage to put my foot in my mouth multiple times again that evening...Oh well, anything for a bit of entertainment I guess...
This afternoon Ryan and I will be going to Shannon's house for Easter dinner and I get to meet all her Uncles, it should be a good time and I'm really looking forward to a nice home cooked meal...Sorry you have to work and can't join us Shannon...Don't worry I'm sure I'll be able to handle your family without you...As long as I stay away from Aaron when he's got a glass of water...

Adventures in Mexico...
Ok, so I know all of you have been wondering where I have been since St. Patty's day...I bet you were wondering, is she dead...??? Well actually it is quite the exciting story that all starts that fateful St. Patty's Day...
After 14 hours of drinking at 6 different bars we got into the car and started back to Rez...With Shannon in the back seat leaving herself a 5 minute drunken message on her new digital recorder about what an awsome day it was and Jimmy driving down the road I was in a complete state of happiness...Later that night I fell into bed for a deep beautiful sleep...
I then wake up on a beautiful beach..."How did I get here?" I ask myself...Just then the most beautiful specimin of a man walks over to me and says in his deep seductive voice..."My name is Joe and I have whisked you away to this tropical paridise of mine"...I shake my head in disbelief...what's going on??? One minute I'm sleeping soundly in my bed and the next I'm laying in the hot sun, absorbing it's deadly but satisfying rays...With a man beside me and a cold drink in my hand...I decided to stay...Stay for a month, forget about my blog, who needs it? I've got Joe...
After awhile I decided...Hmmm people must be missing my Blog, I keep hearing voices in my head..."When are you going to write again? I check everyday...WOULD YOU WRITE ALREADY!!" I start to feel bad and decide that as much as I love it here in the sun, my friends need me more, so slowly I shake my head, clear the writers block that has been clouding my head for a month, wake up from my fantasy world and come back to you...
So now, after all that, what have I really been doing this past month...Well everything and nothing, I've had good days, I've had bad...Shannon and Ryan are dating now...How did that happen??? Shannon's got new birds and is completely in love...I can't wait to start my new program but first...11 more days and I'm off to Australia for a whole month...Back to my fantasy world for real...Back to the place where I am truely happy...Is it the sun, the sand, the water, the people...the answer...YES, it's al that and more and I can't wait to get back!!! And man I can't wait to show off my new tattoo to all my Aussie families and friends...Yes that's right, I got a tattoo the other day and other than the immense pain and the fact that I puked while getting it...I love it and I have no regrets!!!
