Whoa... what's the date today?

Well, due to (believe it or not) popular demand, I'm writing another blog post. I know that it was last year since last I wrote, but it's never too late, right? I suppose there are limits, though. I should probably start by updating you on my life lately.

Where to begin? Well, I got a full-time job at St. Joe's following my student teaching. I covered a maternity leave there from January to June. The experience was... interesting, to say the least. One effect it had was to cement in my mind what I said in an earlier post: teaching is not for me, at least not in the short term. Also, I do want the freedom to do some travelling, maybe visit some places abroad for a few years. But first, I'll have to make some more coin. With that in mind, I've recently gotten a job at Peace Country Health. I work at the Queen Elizabeth II hospital here in Grande Prairie, in Outpatient Booking. Basically, it's my job to book visits for minor procedures, such as colonoscopies and epidural injections. Believe it or not, the job is quite fascinating, and I really am enjoying it. And, contrary to what some people would have you believe, I do NOT wash bedpans at any point in my day. Whatsoever.

Since I last posted, I've also moved to Grande Prairie, and currently room with Mike Lemay, Denis Lemay, and Terrence Sask. It's a pretty sweet arrangement, and I've really enjoyed my time there. Unfortunately, I can see changes approaching fast on the horizon, and it may almost be time to move on.

Remember my earlier post entitled "Shiny Happy People.."? Well, the points I brought up in that post are once again manifesting themselves in the lives of my friends. On the 21st of this month, I'll be attending the wedding of one of my best friends, Serge Couture. He'll be getting married to Andrea Buote, another teacher in the Catholic School District in Grande Prairie. I can't wait to go the wedding, which will be in Summerside, Prince Edward Island. Also getting married on the 21st is my good friend, Catherine Ashby. Her and her fiance, Brian Wynder, will be wed in Edmonton. I wish I could attend both! There is also news in this area regarding a close friend of mine, but I'm not sure how public he's made the news, so I'll hold off in revealing it for now.

Since I am no longer teaching, I should have a great deal more time to myself, and can therefore commit more time to doing things like posting to this blog. So, hopefully, you'll hear more from me (provided I haven't bored you all to tears). Have a great rest of the week, and keep in touch!
