Tsssss

That is the sound of my butt sizzling as I placed it on the bike seat.

Why is it SO hot outside?

Again?!

This time, I saw the mistake on a bulletin board...They used ''to'' instead of ''too''. I wanted to take a pen and correct it. I didn't.

I have a Linear Algebra quiz this friday. I want to get 100%. In order to do so, I have to shut down this computer right now and do some homework early so I can concentrate on math on thursday.

So that is what I shall do.

TTFN. (Just for Sue...)

To, Too, Two.

Dim Sum was delicious as usual.

I went to Photoco to get some film for my darkroom photography class. I bought the last ones...The rest of my class is screwed for tomorrow. Hey, that's what you get for being last minute. I'll bring some extra ones to class tomorrow, and i'll sell them for double. Good plan...I wonder how much they go for at the bookstore.

I must go do some Sociology homework...And Humanities...But I like my Humanities class. Which is a good thing, because it starts at 8:00AM. It's about food and how we're all going to die because of lack of it, or abundance of it, or....stuff we put in it.

When I read emails from teachers, I always inspect for grammatical errors or spelling mistakes. In a message I read just a few minutes ago, the teacher misused ''to''. It could be a typo. Let's see if it happens again, shall we?

If English were complicated, maybe i'd understand.

I'd like to see them learning Mandarin...

I just hope I didn't make any mistakes myself.

Vital Signs

...Still alive. And, mostly well.

Long days on Mondays and Wednesdays. Quite deadly for my head.

Still have to get all my books. Only one of the expensive ones I can get second hand, and I don't think for much cheaper.

Waited 2 hours in line to ''renew''/pay uselessly for my opus card to work.

Took the electric bike to school and back. Pretty cool to zoom past the line up of 200 people trying to fit into a bus.

Thursday, going to pick up a lens hood, and then to the orthodontist. They will tell me I need my wisdom teeth removed. I'll tell them they need their jobs removed. Probably not.

These past two days have reminded me how badly I despise school.

I look forward to december 20th. And then i'll look forward to may 20th. Then i'll probably be like, oops, I still don't know what the hell i'm doing.

My head hurts. Again.

Chicken.

I made the most delicious chicken in the history of life.

The one we always make at home...You shove it in a pot with carrots and onions and sometimes potatoes, and you let it cook FOREVER. Then you eat it and it's so tasty.

And then we had brownies for dessert. Retarded brownies, because Jeanne put 1/2 cup of oil and water instead of 1/4 cup. So then she added sugar. And flour. And Nesquik. And then some more sugar. And then some flour.

We went galloping through the fields, the light was insanely beautiful, the sun was shining through the rain, it made a sort of curtain of water, and the moon was out, too. Some people watched us race up and down the field closest to the camping ground.

I took some pictures during a trail to the cave. I looked like more of a tourist than the actual tourists.

Tomorrow morning, at 6:45AM, we are going on a zodiac again.

Those whales better be feeling sociable tomorrow...

1 of 7

So. Already, things are better, the trailer/kitchen is sparkling clean.

Éloïse and Florence left this morning, at around 9:15.

Aimé says he will buy us pizza to thank us for staying and keeping up the hard work.

One man showed be a picture he had taken of a humpback whale showing its tail, having been on a zodiac at 9:30AM yesterday. We discussed cameras a bit, he had a d5000. I will probably be going on another zodiac cruise some time soon. We just have to ask Dominic, though it would probably be at 7:00AM, when they have less people on the boats.

We went to Tadoussac last night, Jeanne and I went to see shooting stars again, but on the beach this time. We froze, as usual. On the 12th, the peak date for shooting stars, we went to an observation area, and sat on rocks which had been warmed by the sun during the day, so we weren't as cold. We saw more shooting stars last night than the night before. There was one that was so big that we actually saw the flames flaring out from behind it.

I am currently in the office...And damn it, I forgot to check the time at which I started working. I think it was 1:00PM...

**Edit: Not a bad day. I'm happy because my room is clean, the trailer is clean, and Jeanne made some good Banana Mookie (cookie/muffin...) and I know I will have nutella to eat tomorrow morning.

Not sure if we're leaving on the 19th or 21st.

I can't believe I start school in a week.

''Insert Swear Word Here''

I don't think it is possible for me to feel any worse than I do right now.

Nobody has any idea how badly I just want to be home. How much I just want to sit in my bed, take a shower in my own bathroom, and eat a good meal, in a clean kitchen.

I was counting down the days, the hours, the seconds.

Now, I may have to stay until the 20th.

Can't I just go home? Won't you let me just, go home? Can't I just relax before I have to start school? Can't I have a break? Just one?

I had no summer. None. And I needed it more than ever. And now, the only week of summer left, it might be taken away from me.

I have to call home.

2 days left.

Florence has decided to come home with us, too. Looks like Jeanne will have to die alone for 6 days.

We watched shooting stars again, but tomorrow night is supposed to be the peak time for them.

We went galloping on the beach, as promised, at last. They had gone without me the other time. I wasn't supposed to know, but it slipped out. This time we left Jeanne at reception.

Éloïse and Florence's parents will have to rent something to have enough space to bring all our stuff back without taking two cars.

Jeanne and I will go kayaking tomorrow. I think we will have the afternoon off. We may also buy t-shirts from some famous artist who is supposedly appearing on Tout Le Monde En Parle next fall or spring.

*

Jeanne and I stayed outside to look at the shooting stars after having taken the horses out.

We talked about life, and I compared the universe to a circle:

You can draw a circle, but once you've drawn it, neither the end or the beginning can be found.

It's crazy to think about how slim our chances of actually existing are. It makes me go slightly insane.

4 work days left.

We may come back for labour day weekend, Jeanne would drive us.

If I don't include next saturday.........

Ok.

Now i'm really, REALLY, looking forward to being home.

Just a few minutes ago, Éloïse left for a trail ride after Aimé came to knock on our door, saying he needed someone NOW for a trail. I'm glad I wasn't the one to go open the door.

They keep asking me if I want to come back next summer.

I keep wanting to rip my eyeballs out with plastic spoons.

Countdown continues...

I'm taking the time to write another blog entry since it's not too busy at reception.

I was looking on the John Abbott omnivox website at the employment center, and there is one job that is labelled ''multitasker''...It just sounds like odd jobs around the house, paperwork... I'M TAKING IT.

Thanks.

Some food left, and the dishes are done, so i'm not too cranky.

11

The countdown begins.

I'm so excited to come home, even though I have to find a job again when I get back.

I'm going to try going kayaking before I leave, and once more on a zodiac. We'll see.

Jo-louis are already finished. So is the pâté and french bread. We will be labelling each pot of nutella with our names, each person having one pot. I will finally be able to sleep well, knowing I will have something to eat for breakfast the next day. Just kidding, I sleep like a rock, Éloïse and I are both fast asleep within 2 minutes of closing our eyes. Which means neither of us know if the other snores or not.

But we probably don't.

Spiders are accumulating in the bathroom.

Time for the evil broom to come out. I swear, they're all going down.

11 days and counting.

When I get home, that Ombrerita will get the longest cuddle in the history of humanity, and she will probably scratch my eyes out. As for Poosh, he'll get adventures outside in his travel cage.
