Hey friends. Sorry I've been MIA for a while. I have a pretty intense job where I don't get much time off, and the time I do get off, I use to sleep. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love my job, but it's not a nine-to-five type of deal. It's a 24/7 for ten days type of deal.
So what's new in my world? Well, today is day five of session five. We only have two more sessions left. How is that possible?! It completely blows my mind how quickly the summer is going. I've been here for almost 70 days! It feels like I just got here a couple weeks ago! Part of me is kind of happy about how fast some things are going, but a bigger part of me so doesn't want the summer to end! I absolutely love the other people I work with and I seriously can't imagine leaving and not seeing some of them ever again! I don't want that to happen!!
So this session I have an english cabin again! I've been with french the last two sessions, and it was great, my french got so much better. But it's so much more convenient to have english kids. When I had a french cabin, when I wanted to say something, I had to figure it out and then translate it in my mind before I could say it. Now when I want to say something, I can just say it! Imagine that! haha

P.S. My co-counsellors so far this summer have been Shine, Whisper, Oups!, Gooby, and now Sage. I'm really happy the way things have worked out for me so far. Some people have been better to work with than others, but I have had a really great summer and I honestly can't complain! :)
P.P.S. I know a lot of people are doing Blog Every Day August, and I would love to do that as well, but with my job, I can rarely guarantee that I'll actually be able to get on a computer and have time to blog every day. I will try my best to blog as often as I can, but you understand why that isn't always possible.

frenchin' it up!
Hello cyber friends! I know it's been a while since I posted, but a) it's the summer, and b) I work basically 24 hours a day for ten days, with two days off between each 10-day session. Therefore, my writing time is not a whole lot. So I think I'm doing a pretty good job so far!
Happy belated Canada Day to all my fellow Canadians, and Happy July Fourth to all my southern neighbours! What are you guys doing/did you do to celebrate this holiday? Let me know! I finished work at noon on Tuesday, and drove down to Halifax with a bunch of friends for our break. We stayed until Friday morning, when we had to come back for work. It was actually so much fun! We stayed at a hostel, which wasn't really cheaper than a hotel, unfortunately, but it was fun because we were all together, and the hostel had a kitchen, so we got to make our own dinners instead of spending way too much money at a restaurant! It really was a lot of fun, though. And Thursday night, we all sat on Citadel Hill and watched the fireworks, which was good but not nearly long enough. Either way, it was a really great break!
So session three started on Friday! And I have a French cabin. Yay... Just kidding, I actually love it! I mean, I speak French, sort of, so it's not completely difficult. Plus my co-counsellor, Oups!, is pretty much the best co ever. She's French first language, which makes it a lot easier. And I straight up told the kids that I was English and some things I wouldn't understand, but that I would try, and I want to improve my French. They're all really nice and so patient with me, I love it! I have a feeling that this is going to be a really good session. Not as good as session one, because that was just ridiculously amazing, but I think this will be a close second!
Books read this year: 29 (I am actually less that 50 pages away from finishing numkber 30!)
