House Manager Report

So, I've been way to busy to write anything! Which is awesome, it's all been fun. Hopefully I'll write something good here soon, but in the meantime, I'm house manager! So I made my first meal, along with my co-manager this week, Jessica, and it was a success! Not being a cook, I was very excited at for the way it turned out. I made Curry Squash soup...yummm! and Jessica made a bean salad that got turned into a chick pea salad. Still, so good! We also learned how to make bread and cookies today (the second of which I knew...but still, I don't mind cookies) and the bread was DELISH. I'm going to experiment. Anyways, for the rest of what I'm doing etc. here's a little expert from an email to my favoritest brother.

First of all, I got the job I wanted! Yeehaw! So what we had to do was get a whole bunch of info about these jobs, then we were to pick 3 and get interviewed for each one of them, then the employers would pick which ones they wanted, etc. So, we go on Wednesday to see which ones are avaliable. (monday and tuesday was Bimwaadamazin...or something like that...conflict resolution training with the hospital here "Meno Ya Win")

So first one we go to is called NewVu, or New Vision...and...so it's pretty much what I want to do with my life, kind of thing. They're running a business doing camps for kids with a slew of outdoor activities and then tons of different programs that sound amazing, including 4 day long camping trips (that I might go on) for grade 8's to get them ready for high school in a white school, since most of the population is First nations. (which is super cool! It's going to be strange after 3 months of this to see a primarily white population) and lots of other fun little things. And...It was mine as of him telling us about it. Also with this job I'll get to work with most of the other businesses in the community, which I think is perfect to get a wide variety of experiences.

I like most of the people here most of the time. =)

All for now! Sleep needs to be had. I'm going jogging at 7am. Then going back to sleep :)

Love you all!
