Just some news.

Fun fact – I sound like a sad squirrel when I’m sick with a cold/cough.

Last summer I was really sick and I couldn’t sleep because I kept

Involuntarily making these sound in my throat whenever I breathed.

And I told my mum I sounded like a squirrel and she was l like wtf?

Haha, but I came home from work today, and I was like … LISTEN

Andd there was a sad squirrel crying on my neighbour’s drain pipe.

See squirrels go into my neighbours roof at the side where it’s

Metal … and one squirrel was inside … and this other one ….

Was crying (it was actually so sad) and that was exactly what I

Sounded like. I was like awwww, it’s having relationship issues!

Some (no doubt male) squirrel wouldn’t let her in their nest! 🙁

So at least mum knows I wasn’t making that up lol, being dramatic.

 

Oh so we had a Brazilian come on Monday morning. He was such

A mama’s boy and he was like 24! We had a Colombian student

Who was 26 that was also like that. Anyways, he ended up leaving

Today because apparently his mum was like camped outside the

Brazilian travel agency demanding her son be put with a Brazilian

Family who was already hosting Brazilian students. It’s like … wtf?

Why even come to Canada if you’re going to live with Brazilians?

You honestly think you’re going to be learning English with them?

Ugh, he’s so coddled. I dislike coddled people. So he came 

Home to get his suitcase, which was already packed, meaning

He probs did that last night. And he brought 2 Brazilians with him.

And they wanted us to phone a taxi for him, so we did that and they

Said they’d wait out front, then 15 mins later the driver calls us and

Is like … where are they?! We walk outside and they’re no where to

Be seen … it’s like … wow, thanks for making us look bad. That’s

Rude to ask someone a favour. Then to not bother to stay around.

And it’s rude for the driver who’s just been wasting his time waiting.

I dunno. I mean, fuck, his mum was worried about him walking

Home alone at night. It’s like … are you joking me? I walk home alone

At night …. get over it …. this is not Brazil … this is Canada. And this

Is my community we’re talking about here. Nothing ever happens in

This neighbourhood. Even the Canadian travel agent who had to

Deal with the Brazilian travel agent and this young man’s irate mum

Was like … why is this guy so coddled? Why even come here?

 

Ohhh I met that guy who looks like J at work training again.

Only this time I managed to actually chat with him for a bit!

See I saw him on campus a few times … only I didn’t want

To be like … hey it’s you! And not have him remember me.

But he was in my group so I told him I saw him on campus.

Turns out he goes to Trin too! Which means he’s a top student

At uni and involved in the community. Haha, makes me smile.

He even looks better than last year! He’s got a really nice tan …

Anyways he’s nice as well. Soo I know where he hangs out

In trin … soooo maybe I’ll know where to bump into him? 🙂

Oh then the new girl working camps with me is also a Trin

Student … or was … she graduated last year with my brother.

Haha, she even worked with my brother last summer! She

Seems down to earth, thank gosh, and she already teaches

The pre schoolers ballet so I don’t have to direct her much.

 

Uhm one more 4 hour shift of training. That’ll make it about

26 hours of training! Boo. I’m done. No more. So boring.

The only decent part is socializing with the other city staff.

 

I’m sure I had more to talk about but I have a lot of work

To do tonight! >_< I’ll be up late doing all my camp planning.

In case parents come to parents night and demand schedules.

I mean I guess I don’t HAVE to give them the other weeks …

But I guess I should and look competent lol.

 

Oh my gosh! So my bff’s grandpa died. Again, I feel like more

Parts of my childhood are coming to a close. He had terminal

Cancer so everyone knew he would die. But for the past year

I’ve always driven past his house and felt comfort seeing him

Sitting on the porch, with a blanket over his legs, sleeping. You

Know? Like it’s not that I knew him well. I haven’t see him since

Gradeschool. But I felt like … I was keeping an eye on him, you

Know? Since my bbf studies in another city and wasn’t here then.

I knew he was ill, he looked like it, but I just wanted to make sure

He was THERE. Anyways his wife and her grandma already

Died a while ago … she I did know better … cause she’d make

Us lunch during gradeschool sometimes 🙂 Again, it’s just like

Another memory from childhood just slipping away … Uhm so

Our family friend told us. But my bff hasn’t told me. So I’ve been

Putting off sending her a message because it’s like I don’t

Want to … well believe it … right since it’s a 2nd hand source.

Buttt obvi. I do. I don’t want her to be upset that I know. I mean

I WILL send her one cause if she found out I knew and didn’t

Say anything … well that’s not a good friend thing to do! Annndd

Then I also know that, like me, she doesn’t take pity. Pity sounds

So disingenous … like "I’m so sorry for your loss". Ugh. I hate

Those words. Soo … yeah. And when I see her in person I’m

Not going to hug her. Again, like me, it just makes it worse!

You know, I guess we’re the "get the fuck off me" types of people.

We know we can sort things out by ourselves. So yeah … I have

To do that … the sooner the better :(.
