For the first time I actually did something with my march break, other then cleaning my room and doing crazy things with friends. The trip went very very well. The best part was that nothing bad happened, so no one was pickpocketed, got lost, or did something stupid.

The sights were amazing and the weather was appropriate. It was freezing cold in a rain jacket + 3 sweaters. When ever we were out at a memorial that day it would be cold and crappy out. It was good to remember, but on the flip side they were all people who there because of determined people in leadership.

I thourghly enjoyed the trip. This coming rememberence day will be different.

 

CN Climb ~ Completed

Wow, today I completed my CN Tower climb. It was amazing, so many people all climbing.
Start of day - 4:30AM; wake up, eat
5:30AM; Got to meeting place (we car pooled)
6:30AM; Base of tower, find out that we need to go to the skywalk to register
7:44:36; Base of stair case, registration was well organized mehem. (Were talking 300 volunteers to like 50k contestants)
8:03:38; Top (19:02 mins later), after an amazing use of my heart I make it up. I now feel so fit (though sorta am) because I never needed to stop. I ran/hiked/jogged/walked this like the 1200m, you could at times go up by x2’s but usually you needed to go up by x1’s (1 steps)
8:30AM; I received my official contestant shirt, with my well appreciated 19:02 clearly listed!
10:00AM; Back in bed :)
This was made possible by all the volunteers (like beth!) who helped WWF. I went with a group from my school, Eco-serve, we all enjoyed and plan on going back next year.

Hey got a Facebook? It was a common question that I had been asked many a time, untill recently I would have replied that they were just facebook addicts. But now this isn’t the case, I too have joined in the social networking of my local community, which is still such a waste of time, but now all my friends enjoy it.

Ya so If your from Rsbandb.com, JOIN Rsbandb @ facebook already!

Grand Rapids

Well I’ve away this week in Grand Rapids to do some estimation training with my dad, so I basically get a week off to cram my fricken brain full of totally useful stuff that I will NEVER find else where. Estimation for sheet metal isn’t taught, the knowledge is passed on, you have to be an apprentice to learn this.

So Far;
Sunday - travel, for 7h, ate lunch before crossing border, boarder chick was aggressive as usual. Set up camp in hotel
Monday - beginning of training, today I got to go over basic facts about life and how things work. Along with general drawings symbols. Not everything is shown on the drawings ..
Tuesday - Gmail & Studnet email down, I got to start changing prices for items to make them more accurate

So many of my teachers leave rather bland and uneventful descripts of what went on, and are no use to be (unless the also post the handouts)

<3 Home, and sis + mom, school (but only the ppl in it)

Well today love is in the air :) - It’s a happy day for many, but what about the rest of us who aren’t in love? What do they get, a bunch of happy people making them feel bad for not being with someone? Well life sucks for them because I’m happy :)
YA another snow day; yesterday we got 2 feet of snow and today we are supposed to get another 1 foot. I love snow because we get to have another day off.
