Wow. It's been a long time since my last post. So much to say, fill in, before I go.
I was accepted to Capilano in May. I think, that after being accepted, my world just kept going, so fast that I forgot all about this blog. When you're constantly on the go, and you're rushing towards a due-date, and you're gearing yourself up for so many things, you end up crashing. And I did.
About a week after being accepted, I got ecoli. Not only did I get it (Most likely from some of the most disgusting fast food that I have ever eaten) while road-tripping around BC, I also happened to start feeling the effects of it when staying in downtown Victoria with Kier. For about three days, I was in some of the worst pain I ever felt, and I had to walk around, go on ferries, attend one crazy flat party, and then get back home. To make this story short, I ended up in the hospital for a week hopped up on morphine. It was not a fun experience.
By the time that I had gotten out, there was only a week and a half of my grade 12 year left. I was behind in almost all of my subjects, but all of my teachers gave me grace- and I was able to finish my grade 12 year successfully. But because I ended up missing so much school, it didn't really feel like it was done. That too felt rushed. I ended my month tumultuously with a crushing breakup that I didn't see coming, and then actually going with my ex to grad. And it ended up being one of the happiest nights that I had ever had. Grad couldn't have been much better.
As for Peter, we both took some time to think, and got back together about a month later. I'm happy, but nervous about the long distance part. But I think it'll be a good thing to be on my own and to have to grow a bit.
I got a job after my period of ecoli was up (After having ecoli you have to wait about a month to make sure you are clear of all toxins before returning to work) I got a job at the Jammery. It's a breakfast place. I cooked. It's pretty basic.
But in my last two weeks, I had gotten an offer to help paint murals in Creston. I went there, and I not only fell in love with the scenery and the town itself, I fell in love with the processes of murals. I learned from an amazing artist, Nadine. She's been painting murals in Creston for a while. I learned so much from her, it was a great experience. It was also nice to stay on a dairy farm, and go check the cows at night and do other fun things.
And now, I'm here. This happens to be my last day in Kelowna. I can't believe it really. Tomorrow, I'll be leaving at 5:30am and rushing off to Vancouver. I'll be unpacked and on my own by 11am. And then I'm there! And I won't be back until Christmastime.
I'm excited, really, I am. But it just feels like it's happening way too fast.
