Crazy Good Week

I had a wonderful day at work Tuesday, I tacked ties at work for most of the day. The day before someone finally called from head office to talk to me about the email I sent through customer service. It was nice to talk about it to someone, and a lot of my fears about working there have been assuaged thankfully.
I have been playing the Sims 3. I absolutely love the game. My favourite experience so far was when the fireplace started a fire in the living room, and I tried to put it out, and now there is a large black spot on the floor from the fire. It is quite the entertaining game.
I started watching Mawaru-Penguindrum which is very odd, but I like it so far.
I did quite a bit of baking Thursday night, and it was great fun. After fighting with the squash for an hour I finally had it prepared. I also cooked chicken along with it, and cupcakes earlier in the day.
I tend to clean ambitiously when I do want to clean so one of my room mates, and I tackled cleaning the bathroom on Wednesday which wasn't that bad, and a lot of fun.
Now Orientation was today, and I have been excited about this for weeks! It was so much fun though I didn't make any friends. Nothing new there. I have ceramics this semester.
My blazer, and cutsew finally came in from Qutieland, and I love them both.
It has been quite the good week.
SEIZON SENRYAKU!

Final Summer Trip Home

The complete date of my trip home was altered due to work, what else would cause it.
I went home Wednesday after the boss BlackBerry Messaged me to tell me it was dead, and he was cutting my shift. He said enjoy your day off. I was actually ready for work, just about ready to leave too. Of course I was scheduled to work Sunday, there usually isn't a week where I am not so I had to leave Saturday afternoon.
I just started throwing stuff in a bag to bring home, and then I had to stop myself, and re-pack everything. In my hurry I forgot the present for my friend's adorable little baby boy.
I traveled by bus of course. Acadian is the bus line that runs through the Maritimes; meaning New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. Quebec has Orléans. The Quebec bus has Wi-Fi Internet, and leather seats, the leather seats I do not like. I like the Acadian bus line seats better though. Coming home I ended up on two different Orléans buses, and I do not like the leather seats. I had my fun with them again because my departure day I waited for the bus for an hour because it was late out of Montreal again. I wish I could take the train, I love the train, and miss it dearly.
It was rather nice compared to the last time I was home. Thursday was absolutely beautiful, and I had a nice walk around town, and found some people I was looking for. Visits to my favourite diner occurred almost every day but one. Most of the day was spent sitting on a picnic bench talking with friends. Friday I had another friend over, and we reminisced the past, and I dug out and old VHS of anime taped off YTV when I was 13. It wouldn't be a Friday night home if the Brat Pack didn't go out for Karaoke. ♥ Two of us spent the night before listing off songs. It was so much fun, and so many people were there. Saturday was very short lived. :( I went with a friend for a bit then went, and met up with my two friends. I met my friend's baby boy, and he is absolutely precious. One of them told me I would be next to have a kid, and I don't think so. I met up one more time with the Brat Pack, and we took pictures before I left.
In the end though I didn't get to see everyone I wanted to see, including another family member.
My plan is to not go home again until Christmas.
I am going to miss my dear friend who will be leaving for school far away. Hopefully we will see each other at Christmas time.
The college school year starts in a week, and orientation is Friday. I am so excited, and nervous.
