It's been a while since I wrote anything on here... I have thought a lot about writing on here but I haven't been online all that much and I have been busy. Well, I had been keeping myself busy and then I have been busy ever since.
So, after my final concert at school and moving back here and my grandmothers funeral, I spent pretty much everyday hanging out with Matt and Ben. I love those two guys a ton... They are two of my best friends and I appreciate the fact that they have been there for me through thick and thin in the past few months. Honestly, if it weren't for the two of them, I don't know how I would have handled it all.
So, they were both working and during my third week home, I was finally like "I'm bored out of my mind... I need to DO something!!! Other than sitting around doing nothing and then hanging out with friends at night!" I applied for some jobs and got a few interviews and was hired on the spot for one of them. So, the past week and a bit, I have been working at a Petro Canada car wash. It's not a bad job, the people are pretty nice and I get to be outside. It's definitely not what I want to do for the rest of my life but for now, it's not a bad summer job. The hours are consistent and the money's not bad.
So, otherwise, I am working the upcoming TEC (I am on Conference!) and have been doing a ton of stuff for fundraising... We sold over 300 pizzas!!! :O :) :O :) :O :) I am SO happy!!! We beat the total number of pizzas sold at the last two sales that I was coordinator for!!! Also, a few of my friends from camp are going to this TEC as participants and a few others from choir are thinking about going... I am looking forward to it!!!
This past weekend, I was REALLY sick but I was at a 25th year reunion for the Mount Royal Youth Choir. It was cool to be there and having Mr. Ferguson as a guest conductor for the weekend. We sang a bunch of pieces from various years throughout the past 25. I was kind of frustrated that two of the songs we skipped were pieces we did when we toured to Scotland and the ones we did weren't anything we had technically sung when I was in the choir (January 2001 - August 2003). We did "Witness" though which I sang when I joined them for Spring Song in 2004 and I LOVE that piece!!! We also did Mozart's "Ave Verum" which I did in High School. The Arioso did "Ching-a-ring-chaw" and the Youth Choir did "Psalmo 150" and "Voice Dance" which I have also sung. All in all, the weekend of singing and meeting choristers was really fun and the concert at the end of the weekend was cool to watch. It was great to see people I used to sing with and meet people who sang in the choir long before I did. On Saturday after singing all day (I had no voice left...) we went to BP's and I got the chance to hang out with Liam, Elisa, Justin, Breighanne, Skye, Roy and others and meet people like Pat... It was an interesting group. :P :D
Afterwards, I went to the doctor's and it turns out I have a sinus infection, throat infection (possibly strep), ear infections in both ears and possibly bronchitis... No wonder I feel like crap... So, that explained why I felt like I had I head cold. But now, I am not feeling any better and I am trying to get as much rest as possible...
I have been working M-F, 8-5 and I haven't had as much time to spend with my friends... I am finding that hard because it was cool to have a social life for once... Ben leaves for camp in a little over a month, Matt is working full-time and is in a new relationship, Britney has already left to live at camp and work at Greenview, I never see Meghan because I am at work all day and I'm tired at night, I see Sandra now because she and I started working together (she started on Friday!), I don't see Laurel all that often because we are both so busy and Kristyn is busy with Kylee and Ryan and we never see each other... I guess when I take a step back and look at my life right now, I'm glad I'm busy and everything but I'm sad that it has come down to seeing my friends when I have a few minutes to spare...
I have been taught to be happy for what I have. Lately it has hit me that I am living pretty much alone in a house that I have lived in off and on for the past few years but there was always someone else around. I have my own car but it needs a few improvements as it isn't in top running condition... and I have spiritual gifts that I don't have the chance to use... I need to find somewhere I can serve that I can use them...
I'm tired and I have a headache so I'm going to go rest...
