out of touch

indeed.  i've been pretty far out of the loop these days.  school is heavy duty.  i knew it would be alot of work, and really.... i'm ok with that.  but just the sheer amount of information that they're throwing at us is rediculous.  plus it all has to be memorized soon after for quizzes and tests.  don't even get me started on what the finals are going to be like.  sheesh.

i guess that's the student life though.  fortunatley everyone in my class is great.  me and 15 lovely ladies.... and we all get along swimmingly. 

they nominated me class rep for student liason meetings that occur at semi-regular intervals.  i wasn't crazy about the idea at first, but i've taken on the role and i'll do my best to make sure things go smoothly for us. 

there has been some drama with one of the instructors.  man oh man.  eeesh.  no need to get into it, but the students are looking to make a change.... and i fully support it.  yikes.  other than that issue, school is great.  just when i'm getting bombarded with the entire muscular/skeletal system, i get to head downstairs for a full body hour long relaxation massage.  in 3 weeks i've had 9 full massages.  it's rough i tell ya.

i've been studying for a few hours, and now i should sleeps.
7am rolls around pretty quick.

this shot is from the whale watching tour i took my mom on for her birthday at the end of august.  holy smokes time flies.

there was hardly any zoom on this one as well.  we didn't really see much of anything for the first 2 and a half hours of the tour, but just as we were about to reign it in, a few whales from a nearby pod appeared no more than 20 feet off our port side.

amazing.

eventually things change over night. For me it happened when I went to school Tuesday morning. So far I'm really enjoying it. The workload is pretty light at the moment, but that will change soon enough.

Anyone who doesn't know, I'm doing a 10 month course to become a spa therapist. I'm the only guy in a class of 16 girls. It's great though so far. Everyone is really cool and pretty chill.

I also went out.... kicked telus to the curb and got me an iPhone.

this thing is redoculous! you can get a sense of how neat they are if you play with someone else's..... But once you get your own you truly realize their infinite potential.

this damn thing is only a few bucks more than my shitty telus phone. Mega happy with it.

My school is in the old bc hydro building at government and bay... And in the basement where some my classes are is a hugely locked vault door with the pictured sign.

I have no idea what it means.

stingy

it never fails.  i don't post or put up any shots for a month, then i'll post three inside a week.
hey jerry it's george, i uh...... i got nothin' to say.

just diggin' through the archives again.  haven't had much time since Parksville to dig out the camera and go shooting.  i start school in less than a week, and i still have some pre-reading to do and i still need to grab a few more supplies.  all the while, still working full-time.  man oh man i can't wait to finish work.

don't get me wrong, it's a great job and i've had an awesome time working there.  i've made a heap of great new friends and for that i'm definitely thankful.  i am however very certain that that i don't want to move suitcases and park cars for the rest of my life.

i will however continue to keep in touch with everyone there.  plus i still have some people very close to me still working there.  so it's not like i'll really be gone.

but on that note... must get to work.
