"Bummer Summer"!

So, as the CBC says - "it's looking like a bummer summer!". The weather's been absolutely terrible, wet, cold, and miserable. I've been soaked pretty near constantly, especially since I work outside.

Probably because of the weather, we've been kind of slow at the McNeill Harbour. Hiltje was saying that the last two days have looked like March instead of July, the Harbour has been so empty and quiet. It's been really lovely actually, to see all the boaters who I know really well.

Anyway... not too many plans on the go, other than I'm trying to head home to Kwatsi for my mom's birthday. Hopefully I make it home Sunday, stay Monday (her birthday...), and come back on Tuesday so I can go back to work Wednesday. I'm just managing to take one day off work for the trip, so cross your fingers that it's not too windy for me!

Summer! Maybe?

Well, graduation has been and gone, I'm accepted into UVic, and most of that stress is gone!

I was hired to work at the Port McNeill Harbour for the summer, so I'm dockhanding. As I keep saying - "Who knew Kwatsi Bay was work experience?". The work has been good - I really enjoy seeing all the people. It's pretty tiring though, and the downer is that I never see any friends anymore, which really sucks. I miss them all, but my schedule only gives me Sunday and Monday off... not really what everyone else has! Because I need to be up at 6 am, I'm pretty limited in how late I can be out as well.

But the time has been flying by, I'm still reeling slightly from Grad... I almost feel as if September will roll around, and someone will pop out and go "Just kidding! Go back to highschool!". It doesn't quite feel real yet.

So that's it - just a very quick update... Cross your fingers for decent summer weather for us, it's been awful!
