This week I've had a bit of a prolonged reprieve from training and was given four consecutive days off! Unfortunately the car is not here and thus I was somewhat stuck in the Orangeville area. However, I did certainly make the best of that time.
Thursday during the day I graduated from university!!! ...sort of!! I went to student services and tried to postpone my graduation date but was told that it was too late. I was told that I could be put on for graduation in absentia and that I could then attend a later (yet hollow and meaningless) ceremony. So that's what I did! I'll get my notice of being an official graduate in the mail really soon and I'm quite excited. That same day I took Karen out for lunch on her birthday, then we played some pool and bought candy. Then Thursday night I met up with one of the missing Hayden sisters, Rebecca. Beck and Laura both live in Orangeville and though Orangeville is my hometown they only moved here long after I'd left! These are the sisters of Karen and Kaila whom I never see. Beck and I went for a tour of my old walking trails in Orangeville which turned into quite a muddy and messy adventure due to all the rainfall earlier in the day. We got lost a lot due to my terrible sense of direction and my not having been out on the trails in years. However, I did manage to get Beck back home in one peice and I myself wasn't too worse for the wear!
Friday night I hung out with my old friend Sam Bull and we got up to not a lot of anything important at all. Just the way I like it.
Saturday was more Hayden hangouts again. There was a bbq in honour of Karen's birthday and Karen, Beck, Laura (whom I finally got to meet this day!), baby Alli and Kayla-via-webcam-from-Newfounland were all in attendence. I had a lovely time sitting in the sun, eating steak and drinking Red Stripe.
Unfortunately I think I may not have a lot of free time between now and when I leave next Wednesday so I'm a little upset that I have to toddle off to bed early tonight as I didn't get a lot of sleep the past few nights!
