Epiphany

The week I found that I had a lot of free time and did not like it.  We do not have a television at the Katimavik house and do not have a wireless internet connection and the connection that we do have is extremely slow.

I've had an epiphany….I do not like children. And by working in a preschool I have realized that I need to do something more while I am in Nunavut.  Volunteering at a preschool can be done anywhere especially in Southern Ontario so I need to do more.  I really want to get out there and see Northern Canada and the Arctic region.  Back to the point this week was boring and brutal, there was too much free time and work was hectic.  I feel like I go to work to become the perfect housewife. I clean and wash dishes three times a day and do everything else and even though I am helping people who need it I just feel like I am not accomplishing anything productive.  It’s frustrating but I guess I could also look at the positives, I get to look after some really cute kids, when I come home I get to chill with some awesome dudes, I get work experience and I don’t have to pay a thing!  But I still need to do more with my time here.

One thing that I am really looking forward to is Anna’s new radio show! I am going to be on it.  I am going to be looking into activities that are offered in Nunavut, if you have any ideas that are relatively cheap let me know.

The other aspect that I am looking forward to is my week off from work and staying at home.  If anyone has any ideas for food and cooking please send them to me.  I need easy and cheap recipes by Sunday!

I just can’t wait to go to Montreal! There will be so much to do that I’m really looking forward to and it will be a new place to be and the chance to explore.

The line up for this weekend includes going to the animal shelter and seeing the puppies again! Spending an evening at the youth centre and having a bon fire!

I spoke to my mum on Monday evening and she put the phone to my puppy’s ear and I spoke to him.  My mum told me he went quite and was looking for where the sound of my voice was coming from <3 I am a little homesick but I don't realize it when I am busy doing something. Therefore I NEED TO STAY BUSY!!! :)

By the way, my project leader Heather was in Nova Scotia this past summer. Guess where she went while she was there. To the Evolve concert. I know. AH- MAZING. We were both there and didn't even know it. Evolve brings everyone together.
