2 days in 1 blog

(Tuesday)
there is absolutely no way for a writer to have writers block in an airport. as i stood in line atthe check in counter, i saw the most fascinating people. well, fascinating to say the least. i was surrounded by newlyweds and families traveling in large 'lion like' packs. i, personally, LOVE watching (or peaking at) newly married couples. They are hilarious. All the couples i saw today had "LOOK AT ME IM MARRIED" t-shirts on, cute idea, it got old.
due to the less than impressive lack of sleep i received Monday night, i snoozed the ENTIRE plane ride to philly. keeping in mind the flight was only 45 minutes, we were kept on the ground after arrival for a good 30 minute. the Jet Walk was broken, and US Airways HAD to get every mainenance crew ou to attempt to fix it. none of which were successful. once i was finally out of the sweaty, squishy, miniature hell i was trapped in for way too long, i found myself doing the 'Home Alone Run' to the new gate. the run was successful. id like to thank Switchfoot for creating "Oh! Gravity." with such an amazingly fast paced beat. and Chad the drummer for playing it so well. i listened to "Oh! Gravity." while running through the philly airport. 3 full terminals to be excat.

today was tiring. its not as much as a physical tired (the normal) ...but an emotional tired. i started my day by driving mom to work so she could get a few things done. i ran into a handfull of my old tech guys.. i forgot how much i really missed them. great memories. once all the hugs were given, i drove a few towns over to North Lake College. (my old school) i waited for a while for my transcript then i actually was able to watch them mail it out. so i know its on its way to winnipeg. ive become quite aggravted with the Texas school board. the education system they have is completely different than Canadas. just making my possiblities for post high school education next to impossible. im loosing hope, but my prayers stay strong. im really loosing my ambition.. (deep breath)
mom and i shopped a lot today. we made a trip to Ikea so she could get some decorating ideas. and as most of you know, while i was employed at Ikea.. i had a grand time buying things and just walking around.. or testing out pillows and beds. (it was a hobby of mine) i stopped at the WillowBend Mall to the MAC store (heaven on earth) so i could get one of the genius' to fix the speaker on my ibook and take a look at the menu button on my ipod. they had to replace my ipod. its nice to have a working ipod, but completely unfortunate that i didnt bring my external hard drive to texas. all my music is on that hard drive. (bites lip) i have no music for the trip home. someone throw a bullet at me. oh wait, im in texas, i'll just go pick one out of the grass outside.

the countdown

my camp countdown has begun. its more like the, constant canoeing hair-do, desert every meal, no laundry all summer, friends 24/7, poker night almost every night... countdown. to say the least. on sunday, (the 1st of july) I shall pack my switchfoot saturn full of everything that pieces me together and drive the few hours (2ish.. depending on my speed) to Camp Crossroads, where i will spend the rest of my summer. exciting eh?
here's the kicker... it was.. quickly... decided that i would be making a trip back to texas.. on tuesday, until saturday. SOO change o' plans then. countdown is as follows.. texas in 2, canada in 5, camp in 7. tonight is pack for camp night. i need to have everything washed then packed into the duffle bag so then tomorrow can be a less stressful day. tomorrow needs to run smoothly. i have to deliver lunch to the V n' Z's (greenhouse boss's) then run to st. catherines to fill out a discusting amount of papers so i can re-apply for my health card. then i'll calm myself with a grandma outting for lunch. my flight goes out of buffalo around 5:30ish tuesday morning, thus putting me in the DFW airport around 10am... with only one super quick stop in philly. (so quick i'll probably have to pull the whole 'home alone' run threw the airport just to get to my flight) monday night should be a nice evening! my 3 closest friends are going to be here to 'see me off' and have a hang out.
(this is when she looks over the lazy couch shes sitting on to see the massively large piles of laundry that needs to be folded and packed)
i must go.
