I've been busy
I haven't written here in awhile, which is a shame, i used to post here quite frequently. I guess i'll give an update as to what the heck i've been up to.May:
I spent most of the month of May in England. I went there on an English trip with school to study how authors used the landscape in their writtings, and how landscape effected them in return. The trip was extremely eye-opening, and wonderful. Lots and Lots of stories.
June:
After I got back to Canada i needed to find a job to pay for my month in England. So i searched, and i searched. It can be very hard to find a job after high school gets out, because all the students fill all those openings quite quickly. Eventually I found a job: working over-night at Walmart doing renovations. I know, it sucks. I'd rather not talk about it...
July:
Walmart took it....
August:
Ditto. Except the last weekend in August i went camping with Su and a bunch of people from ACAD down near Pincher Creek. Su and I took some time away from the group to go for a walk, and being such an outdoorsman i decieded we should go on a hike. After about 30 min of walking we turned off the road, and started walking directly up a hill, headed for the 'summit'. As i entered a clearing I looked up and saw a wolf. Big. White. Looking directly at me. In one smooth motion i took a step backward, turned around, and started walking down the hill. I calmly said to Su, who hadn't seen it "Su, you should follow me this way", to which she replied "Why?! we were going this way before, are we changing out minds again?!"- now i feel i should explain her comment. Earlier i had led us the wrong way, which resulted in us walking back the way we came, for about 1 km, and it was really hot out, so i can understand why Su was a little perturbed. I calmly responded "Su, you REALLY should come this way, slowly". She gently turned around, and started sauntering down the hill again. After we were a safe distance away she asked 'Why did we turn around', and i said 'Because there was a wolf there, looking right at us'. Now, i wasn't concerned that there was a wolf there, i was concerned because i saw the wolf in the first place, and secondly, that it didn't run. If it didn't run, that meant it had a reason not to run, which is what troubled me. I explained this to Su, and she said 'i wouldn't have been scared', which was all fine, and as she said this, a June Bug flew passed her face and she shrieked....
