Accepted

I got my official acceptance today:) So thats good, and so far I know three other people in my group, one guy lives near vancouver!! We could totally meet each other, but that would slightly be creepy. Anyways we are probably going to be traveling together, YAY I won't get lost:) Seriously, I have never ever been on a plane (I feel very childish writing never ever lol) and I am nervous and excitied! So I may or may not be screaming or crying "I need an adult" (brownie points to you if you get that reference) Also today i got my volunteer guide so I know what to bring.

In Other news...I am almost legal....IN ALBERTA AND QUEBEC! Now if you guys don't already know that means when I am gone I can legally drink where I am! (Although, Katimavik I don't think likes anyone...in the volunteer guide they said no drinking in the houses...) I probably won't drink but its weird knowing that I can just go and do it. Oh yeah, its in two days I turn 18:) Happy early birthday to me:D My twin and I are going to party on saturday

We have decided to have a BBQ and good bye party for me on June 29th to 30th, sleepover with my friends, because my one Best Friend is leaving for a family vacation on the 30 (She is devestated, she wanted to leave later so she could say goodbye) Its going to be with family and friends. Then hopefully I can go to the Canada day celebrations and have some very delicious french cabane du sucre (I think) since there is a huge group of frenchies coming from malliardville (which is the french area near where I live) to celebrate canada day which means awesome french food

Also while looking on Urban Dictionary I found this...I think it is a good thing to end on:) Its laughable

Under the disguise of a Canada's Leading Youth Volunteer program, it's a science experiment gone awry, lasting nine months and consisting with the strangest group of 17-21 year olds imaginable. The "Katimaviktims" (clever, oh ho ho) live with 10 other strangers and volunteer 8 hours a day in three different parts of Canada. The program includes making 10 page protocalls to go pee, enduring weekly house meetings that are more painful than plucking out your own eye, turning vegitarian or learning to loathe vegitarians, creating screaming wrestling matches over lifted toilet seats, dishes, lint traps, or music, and still somehow managing to get an amazingly positive life-altering experience.

Just don't ever mention toilet seats.
Recently graduated highschool student/frustrated university dropout/bored drifter: What's this? Katimavik? A free travelling program offered by some abstract arm of the Canadian government? Promised self discovery? What's there to lose?

Just get it over with already...

So this morning (7:30 my time) while eagerly awaiting my letter of whether or not I got into Katimavik or didn't, this lovely baby comes into my email, naturally it said Katimavik so I pounced on it



I was reading it saying to myself "Ummm I dont see whether or not I got into the program....geez if they are going to reject me it would be nice if they would just get it over with already (OMG she used the title of the article in the thingy! OMG Squeee!)

I got to school and wanted to check my email again because I knew I couldn't concentrate without knowing whether or not I got in so I opened this baby



I was in my school library, naturally I squeeled like a little girl. Trust me I got more than a few looks. I look over to my sister (the only one I told about second selection) and then said I got in. We then walked to her class and I was laughing and smiling and I looked like a total fool.But I just couldnt contain it, trust me this was all I thought about ALL DAY LONG!!! It was the most amazing thing ever. I just feel really bad for those who didn't recieve placement. But hey I am one of the lucky ones:)

Yours truly
Katimagirl (I can say that now without lying!:) )
