...no lethbridge because and I quote "I don't want to make a damn bridge" (In response to the high level bridge)

I like to keep you reading with pretty pictures...also because I have a short attention span and like they say a picture says a thousand words

Less than two weeks

I leave in less than two weeks...Less than two weeks until I don't see my family for six months, until I don't see my four best friends, and until I don't see my twin sister for six months. Its a scary thought. I am leaving and everything is staying the same except me. My friends will go to White pine without me have sleepover and go camping everything the same minus me. I am terrified....

...yet extremely excitied. Less than two weeks until ....I meet my group for the first time, I see my house for the first time...until I GET A LIFE:) I am so excitied, I want to jump up and down screaming it is amazing. I am ready to leave, my stuff is sitting half packed on my bedroom floor. My bedroom looks like chaos. Packing is seriously the hardest part, think about it. When you leave its hard to pack what you want and how to properly pack, do you really need that...and so on, but when you leave? Packing knowning that your going home? That is heartbreaking (I have read a lot of blogs that make me want to cry, its so sad the last day)

I finally finished school! Yes, I am officially a graduate:) Thats weird to say... I still feel weird seeing my school and realizing that I no longer have to go there. I AM DONE GRAD 2011 YES!!!

Katimavik, I am ready to leave. I have my flight information too! I leave at 6:15 pm from the Vancouver airport, and then get to my lethbridge house at 4 am...ouch. We all arrive and then have to drop off all the other groups in our cluster (Calgary to Canmore to Lethbridge to Medicine Hat) at least they rented a motorcoach for us:) Also I travel with a guy who is in my group...so hopefully that isn't awkward. All my relatives are planning on coming to the airport to say goodbye...Great (note the increased level of sarcasm there?) Seriously, I don't want to have to leave a bunch of sobbing relatives behind. Ugh...July 6th won't be fun...but july 7th...yeah when we all get on the motorcoach to our houses? THAT WILL BE FANTASTIC!


If I close my eyes will I stop this whirlwind
Will the days end because of my absence
My life is disappearing and I'm leaving
I am ready for the change of seasons
Change is coming on the wind
I can feel the breeze hit my skin
Awake for the first time
My eyes are open, craving new scenery
Leaving everything for adventure
I am at the edge of the earth
Looking back I see my life laid out behind me
Lets leave everything behind
Jump

French Evaluation

Did my french evaluation...ugh, I hate talking on the phone, but we have a power outage so I had to use my mothers cell phone....FML. I have been trying to call her for a month now and we have been playing phone tag. But today I won tag!!! Yes, I finally got a contact of the French Evaluation lady! I didn't exactly fail...but well....it was still bad. She asked me to speak in full sentences or if I didn't know how then to try and tell her what she was asking in french.

NOW PRESENTING...HOW TO FAIL AT FRENCH!
*=speaking french
aka me mumbling something in french...
Her:It's early isn't it?
Me: Ah, yes it is (I ALWAYS GET UP AT THIS GOD FORSAKEN TIME!!)
Her: *What is your name
Me: *I am Keagan
Her:*What is your email address
Me: Umm giggle(I giggle when I am nervous) Are you asking my email address?
Her: Yes
Me: Uh, I have no idea how to say that in full sentances
Her: *What is the date today?
Me:* The date is June...2011
Me: I have no idea what the day is
Her: OH! Okay I will tell you the date in English, it's the 15
Me: OH! *Its June the 15 2011
Her: *Do you speak french often
Me: Uh...speak french...?
Her: *Do you speak french often
Me:Yeah, I have no idea
Her: I am asking do you speak french often
Me:*NO, I don't speak french often
Her: *Have you taken a french class before
Me:*I took a french 11 class, last year
Her: Okay your finished, you will be okay you can speak full sentances, and understand a lot of what I am saying.
Me:Thanks, I am surprised I remembered that from my French class!
Her: Okay, any other questions?

That's all she asked...I think I did okay...a 1 would be nice....ugh

Later: I found out I did get a one...well at least I don't fail that bad:D

Also, haven't been able to contact the French evaluation lady, CURSE YOU TIME ZONES!!! I am going to try again soon, but if I can't reach her I will for sure call her during exam week (since I am not writing exams so I get the whole week off)
