cottage trip 2006

oh yeah... cottage trip with some friends to end off the summer before the start of a new school year = FUN FUN FUN!

although i wish the weather was better and we could go sun-tanning and dancing in the water, i'm sooooooooooo happy i've got to spend time with some of my loved friends. it was amazing to just be in the same place with some people whom i haven't had a chance to be locked in a place with. i wish we had the privilege of doing this EVERY summer.

i loved the days when we used to have retreat with school because we'd just get on a bus and go to some far-off place and really spend some time with each other and God. though this year, we didn't have as much sharing as last time, it's still been awesome to get together. i loved the food, Cranium, company, sleep time, the lake, tranquility of being the only one awake in the whole house... i don't know. it was a good reminder of what it means to be with friends. i hope you guys had fun too. :)

i miss you guys already.

first commute downtown to UT
on the other hand, i began my first commute to the University of Toronto for school-related reasons. i landed a job at the Bora Laskin Library (law library) at UT... come visit me Thursdays from 12-5pm at the circulation desk. anyways, today was supposed to be my first day of training and it takes an hour to get from my house to the library. when i get there, my supervisor has forgotten who i am... here's how the conversation went:

S being supervisor and M being me.
S: You are...?
M: I'm Melody.
S: Oh yes. Are you here for training? Is it today?
M: Yes.
(S looks down at calendar on her desk where it says 2-4pm Melody)
S: Oh yes... you have training today. Today is hectic. How about this? We cancel training and you come tomorrow for your training.
M: ....

Thank goodness for Emily who took of me for the next 4 hours with her supervisors/fellow summer student shopping on Queen Street. Hooking up some crazy mad deals. AND Emily's supervisor is in my department so I'll see her on Thursday at my orientation! yay! a familiar face! :)

anywho, that's it for now.
