Life Update

       It's been a long time since I actually sat down and put pen to paper (or you know pushed the buttons on a keyboard). So much has happened. Firstly the World Seniors and Mixed Doubles Curling Championships have come and gone. It was such a great time, I got to watch some of the best teams in the world play, and was able to meet some incredible people, both athletes and other volunteers. I had the opportunity to put numbers on the scoreboard (which is a lot more exciting than it sounds) and was able to interact with a lot of the officials. That would be an interesting pass time, officiating. You get to travel across our beautiful country and watch some of the best curling in the world. I also had the chance to time a few games, and although it was a little bit of pressure and a lot of paying attention (something we all now I need to work on) it was great. I was asked to time the bronze medal game, which was great because it meant I was doing a good enough job they wanted me to time more! Or they just knew I was going to be around the rink non stop watching so they didn't have to call someone else in ;). It was a crazy week though, being short "staffed" on our committee, I was working some days from 8-11, and others were doing almost as much. The experience though is one I will never forget and it opened up my mind to a few things for next year, including the upcoming Ford Womens World Curling Championships in Saint John.
      Also in the past week or so, I was given the position of program director at Scotian Glen Camp. I have always wanted to remain working at a summer camp forever(or until I finally decided to grow up, like that will ever happen), but this summer I was looking elsewhere because I need to pay for school and counsellors pay will not quite foot the bill. When I was offered this position I was beyond happy. Not only will it pay a sufficient amount of money, but it is also a chance to work at a summer camp while gaining  a little more experience with things other than just counselling! It is sure to be an exciting summer :)

      Perhaps most exciting is I finished my first year of university. One whole year in the books!

As my computer is about to die, I'm going to finish this blog post now!

Until next time,
