The End of an Era*
I quit. I finally did it. I’ve worked for a shoe company for the past 4 and a half years and last night I quit. I haven’t really been happy there in a while… I went in in October to resign then, but my boss is amazing and offered me a deal that I couldn’t refuse. So, for the past 4 months I have been working one shift every 3 weeks or so… and as nice as it was to go in and socialize with the staff when I worked, it just wasn’t worth it anymore. I hated working evenings and Saturdays. So, since I have a job with the…

Ma Famille*
I MIGHT STILL GET METIS MONEY!!!!!! WOOOOO!!! …Did I ever tell you that my family is Metis? Well, we are. I also think that we’re quite possibly the last generation of my family who is eligible to claim it. Anyway, as a Metis post-secondary student in Ontario I can apply for bursaries to help fund my education. Last year I applied and received $750 in December. The deadline for this year’s application was the end of October, so naturally when I hadn’t heard anything by the end of December I assumed that for whatever reason I didn’t get it this year. WELL. Today I got a letter in the mail…

I GOT THE JOB*
I GOT THE JOB AT THE SCHOOL BOARD!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m pretty excited. I have to get a police check done and go for training on Friday and then I’m good to go! HOO HAH!! I was kind of stressed that I wouldn’t be able to get it earlier though… oh what a mess. Here is what happened: I was contacted by the board early this afternoon and told that I got the job! So, naturally I was thrilled. Then they told me that I had been stationed at a school outside the city in one of the neighbouring towns. I responded that on my application I had specified that I…

Job Interview*
I can’t remember if I wrote about my applying for jobs while I was up in the Great White North, but I did. I spent an exciting Saturday night applying for summer jobs because I was too afraid to go outside in the -35 degree weather. Well, I heard back from one today and I have an interview on Thursday!! I saw some positions open with the Catholic School Board here and I threw in a resume, and they actually called me today! I have an interview to be a tutor–it pays well and it would be great experience for my teacher’s college applications which are looming next October. I’m…

Exciting News*
I was so tired last night that I almost forgot to tell you my OH so exciting news!!!!!! (No, the hot water is not turned back on yet, although that too would be AMAZING) If you’ve been following my writing, you’ll know about my piano saga and the ordeal I’ve been through waiting for a little piano. WELL, yesterday we had a break through!! The Hubster called the piano store again to find out the status of my piano (I’m on a waiting list) and see if the shipment (that was originally due to arrive the beginning of October) had arrived. Unfortunately, the store still had no idea about when…
