From the internship

So I guess I'll post a more in-depth blog going from my internship to now.

After my internship Jill and I got engaged. I bought a lovely princess cut solitaire diamond ring in Hamilton and proposed at the Airport. I'm pretty sure she liked it, and we got applause from everyone in the airport too, so that was cool. One of Jill's classmates from highschool was there too and he wants to be a bridesmaid... not sure how that'll go :P. My mother and grandmother were there at the airport too, and they knew that I was going to propose so they of course made it rather awkward saying "didn't you want to talk to Jill?" and such. Thanks ma... Anyways, embarassment aside it went well and she said Yes.

School started up the next week, which means classes, homework, assignments, tests, and my favorite: Procrastination :D. Where would we be without procrastination? But yeah, this year I've got for classes Eschatology, Christian Literature, Western Civilization, Missionary Theory and Worldview Studies, as well as "choir" each week. This semester is particularly rough because they're all tough courses, Alan Beck's course is the easiest one. Not a good sign... Ah well.

A week after school started Wal-Mart started again. Everyone in Hamilton seems to think I'll eventually become a manager and own Wal-Mart. Who knows? But as of now I'm in the middle of Christmas Layaway madness. I came back to a messy Layaway since it was understaffed but now it doesn't look too bad, for Christmas at least. I've been hearing rumours that Layaway is going to end after Christmas, which would really suck if it did. I like Layaway. Although if it did maybe that'd be my opportunity to try something new, maybe get a CSM position that I've been asking for. Maybe not, but I can dream, can't I?

Things have been pretty busy, and recently I had all my wisdom teeth pulled out. My lower ones were growing horizontally and crowding in all my other teeth, so my dentist said it was time to get them out. I went to go see Dr. Habbi (whom I first thought was named Dr. Happy) who, in spite of all the horror stories I've heard of him, was very good. I got to have laughing gas for about 10 seconds before they fully sedated me, and let me tell you that was fun. I wanted to take some home with me for class but they wouldn't let me... Anyways, the procedure went well and I'm on the mend now, doing quite well apparantly. I get the stitches out Friday, which will be nice because they'll be out and I'll miss another Missionary Theory class. Shucks... :)

Anyways, I think that's enough for now. L8rs

Another update time

Phew, so it's been quite a while since I updated again. It's kinda late so I'll give a quick recap of everything and expound on it when I have more time.

Since december I finished my second year of MCC, worked in the Garden Center at Wal-Mart for two months then went to Hamilton to work with Scott Jacobsen for an internship for about 3 months. Came home and got engaged to Jillian shortly after (at the airport :P). We've been engaged now for... 77 days now? Something like that. Wow, it doesn't seem like it's been that long. Started up third year at MCC, lots of reading and I'm not much of a reader :P so falling a little behind. No worries, this sememster will be over soon *phew*. Back at Wal-Mart working layaway since a week after my return from Hamilton. Friday morning I got my wisdom teeth pulled, they were growing horizontally :O. Recovering now, and doing not too badly. Painkillers are wonderful things :D So is laughing gas, but more on that later.

Gonna go take another pill soon, then off to bed and church in the morning. Jillian's over too and she wants to go to bed so I'd better head off (she's using my laptop to watch a show b4 bed so I've gotta get off, but I'll just keep typing neways. tee hee) ha ha, ok. G'night all (Sandy, since you're the only one who checks it. Maybe Courtney Jill says.)

Can't wait for solid food... KD was nice though :P

Ok, time for bed. Seriously......... Tee Hee.
