"I keep my heart and soul, in the Boondocks"- Little Big Town
Wow. So the past little while has been quite the adventure haha.
I finally got a job. It's just a casual thing, but it's better than nothing. It happens to be at the most happening bar in town too :)
My friends were all drunk and thought it'd be funny to come visit me last night. I have blackmail against them for a long time. Haha.
Other than that, classes are going great! I'm really glad I took this course. I don't regret it one it bit.
Hard to believe I'm going to be home in less than a week. TURKEY! :P
I was told by one of my teachers (Derek), that once I'm done Journalism that I should take the photography course. He really likes my pictures. Which is also very exciting.
Jeremy went home this weekend, so besides working, I've been really bored. He's on his way home now though.
I actually just got a message telling me he was only 26km away. Haha.
Last night was a great night at work. I was given flowers. I thought that was cute.
I'm pretty sure my roommates are still sleeping though :P
This is kind of a short entry. I'm really bored right now haha.
I also know why I like it in Woodstock too. It reminds me of my time in Katimavik.
The view from my room reminds me of Corner Brook. Who knows, maybe it'll look like it even more once winter comes! :)
Well I'm off for now. I'm going to make supper before I go see Jeremy.

"He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar.."- Taylor Swift
I don't know why, but I like starting off with a song. Just seems like something I'd do.
So life has definitely been great here in Woodstock. I love the scenery, the people and school.
I just checked my last post. I haven't posted since the first day of school. Wow! So much has happened since then.
I've been to Saint John twice since I left. I don't plan on coming back until Thanksgiving. Hopefully.
Sept. 11th was the Brad Paisley concert. AMAZING!! I have an even bigger appreciation for Brad Paisley now. :)
To kind of skip over school events and such... Wednesday night, Nicole and I went to the hockey game. There's a local team here called, "The Slammers". They're actually pretty good.
Last night, I went job hunting, then I took some pictures. It was actually a project for class, but it was my excuse to use a nicer camera haha.
So, Jeremy and I went to the dock by the school. What a gorgeous night last night. Sunset was perfect; I got some great shots :)
While Jer and I were talking, Nicole text messaged me telling me that we had gotten a kitten. His name is Jack.
So great news... I may be working as freelance photographer for the newspaper up here. Just as a casual.. but still.
I had one of my teachers recommend me to them, so it could possibly be a foot in the door :) Keep your fingers crossed for me.
Anyway, I'm off for now.

“Who’s up for game 2?” Or rather, post 2..
So, Monday mine and Jennifer’s new roommate, Nicole, moved in. We’re definitely going to be fine. I don’t want to jinx it though.
Nicole and I went on an adventure to get Tim Horton’s. That didn’t work out so well because they were closed due to a power failure.
So, we ventured on, eventually realizing that Needs was the only store open. So we get to Needs and laugh because not only did she almost get hit by a bike, but we found clothes pins that were 50% off. What a bargain! :P
That was sadly the excitement of the day. Oh, but I can’t leave out, “Moths Gone Wild!”
I guess I should explain. A big moth got in the house and was going crazy by the light in the kitchen. Naturally we taped it. Oh the excitement of Woodstock. *rolls eyes and chuckles*
Other than that, we had a really BORING day. I did anyway. I was quite restless.
Today, Nicole and I plan to go on an adventure around town. Might as well, right? Sadly there’s probably nothing else to do.
Yesterday, 2 crazy cats that I had been talking to on Facebook showed up, Jeremy and Kerry. Kerry’s from Saint John and Jeremy’s from Miramichi area. They rock!
We had a little “meet and greet” down at Fusion last night. So we met some of our class mates, and some second years too. It was great.
Today was our first day of school. I was so nervous this morning. Not to mention, REALLY tired.
We had a blast today. The people in my course are awesome!! We’re all going to Fusion tonight to hang out. We really get along well.
Other than that, nothing else new, so I’ll keep this post short..

Post #1
For those of you who don’t know, while I was in Newfoundland I kept a blog like this. It lets people know how I’m doing and such, without the mental costs of calling all the time. Haha.
So, I’ll be in Woodstock for the next 2 years (hopefully) as you all know. I have a couple of projects that I’d like to get off the ground before I leave. Give the middle of nowhere, New Brunswick, some spunk!
How is came about, me moving to Woodstock I mean, was simply because of a passion. Since my last year of high school I knew I wanted to take Journalism. Last year I started University to become an English teacher, simply because “there’s no money in Journalism”.
I dropped out of university and applied for the journalism program at NBCC here in
Woodstock. On November 17th, 2006 I found out I was accepted for the 2007-2008 school year. I was so excited!
I had never been here before, so naturally I didn’t know anyone. Pritesh, Rhythm and I came up here for a road trip, and I was so nervous because it’s such a small town.
After that, the next time I came up was with Jon and Trisha so that I could look for apartments. That was interesting. We planned our trip in a matter of minutes. So we were a bit disorganized.
One of the first calls I had made, was to a lady named, Mary Ellen. We talked for a while before I was even in Woodstock.
When I got here, many things won me over with the apartment. She was friendly, the view from the back deck was amazing, and it was “all inclusive” so to speak. Not to mention, I met my soon to be room mate Jennifer, she ended up being a lot like me, which obviously makes her cool. Now, here I sit, apparently I won them over as well.
So just to update you on life here so far.. I moved here on Thursday, August 30th.. I live with my room mate Jennifer, and her mom, Mary Ellen at the moment, but Mary Ellen is going out west today, and our other room mate, Nicole is moving in.
My first and second days here were just a matter of un-packing and things like that, just getting settled basically. Saturday, I got my phone charger back from home. My grand-parents sent it up by bus, thanks God. I’d be lost without them haha.
The night was more interesting of course. Jennifer brought me out to Dooley’s where I got to meet some of her friends, and some of the locals. I felt so welcome, oddly enough.
Yesterday was a lazy day.. I slept until 5:30pm, naturally I woke up in between that time, but I was tired. After waking up and showering, Jennifer came home and asked me to help her go get some dressers. Then, we got here, she made a cake, and we just relaxed some more.
As I said, tomorrow, Nicole moves in. I have to clean my room. EEK!
Anywho, I guess that’s enough for now. Just wanted to say, I miss you all. I’ll be home the 8th to the 12th, but the 11th I’m busy. That’s my brother’s day. Other than that, give me a shout if you want to see me.
