Well as it was a usual Wednesday at JC it was steak night. This time to add a twist a bunch of us got our food to go, grabbed a few bottles of wine and set up in one of the common rooms. There we ate, drank and watched a movie. Great time had by all.

I don't know what's wrong with me but something is up. I'm feeling totally discouraged with life in general right now. It seems as though there's very little celebrate or enjoy lately. Work is brutal, we're extraordinarily busy and curves keep getting thrown at us. Almost all of the things making my life miserable are completely uncontrollable and so I keep hearing my father's voice telling me not to sweat it because there's nothing I can do about it anyway. Easier said than done when you're running a department that over 700 people depend on for travel and housing. If someone comes in and doesn't have a room it's a big problem.

I'm really wondering if the experience I'm gaining here is actually worth it? Where will I be able to go after I'm finished here? I need to hang in here for at least another 7 month's, which will bring me to a year's experience, but if things continue as they are now I'll lose my mind. Not to mention my physical and emotional health.

As usual the feeling that I'm missing out on whatever "life" is weights heavily on me as well. I know I've got it good here and I really shouldn't be bitching about things because I am getting good experience and making pretty reasonable money but where will it all leave me?

I got into Edmonton yesterday and I've been enjoying the relaxed hospitality of Raph and Wifey. Truly a great way to end a somewhat stressful turnaround before I head into the next rotation starting tomorrow.

While I was out this time I finally got around to purchasing a yoga mat and I'm planning on making use of it. Hopefully I'll be able to regain some flexibility that I haven't had for a really long time. I'm also frantically trying to think of ways to lose some weight as my jeans are all getting a little too tight. Maybe if I lay off on the cheese cake...

Last night while I was at The Baron's watching a movie our family dog lunged at Sister's face. He was sitting on my Mother's lap and I guess she just got to close. She was rushed to the ER for stitches and we're going to have the dog put down this afternoon. I'm hoping that as these things seem to come in three's that this is the end of it.

I have to admit, I didn't intend for my absence on here to be this long. Life has a way of jumping up and beating the living hell out of me which leaves me so tired by the end of most days it's all I can do to sit and watch tv.

I'm back at home in the Okanagan right now and things are pretty much as they always will be. The dog's getting older, my parents are losening up more and more everyday and I'm getting fatter. Yes, life continues on it's merry trundle. There are two notable things about this turnaround though. Sister brought a boy home from camp and Harry Potter has been consuming the majority of my time.

First off Sister's new "friend" is nice but not someone I can see her staying with. Nothing against Iron Workers at all but the thought of him sitting in an arts performance just makes me roll my eyes. Secondly Harry Potter's new book is exceptional. I've been trying to read quickly and take my time with this one which is proving to be tough. I want to drag it out as long as possible so that it won't end but I want to know what's going to happen next so bad! Can honestly say this is the first time in probably a couple of years that I've spent as much time reading and enjoyed it as much as I have with this book.

I'm very much looking forward to going to Edmonton to spend the night with Raph and Wifey before I go back to camp. Other than that there's really not to much exciting going on at the moment. I'll be sure to write more often soon.
