Ok... The final stretch is on its way. 2 weeks and I'm FINALLY home!!! YAY
SOOOO Excited!!!!!
So here's my story this past week or whenever I stopped writing last... July 13?? ahaha
Ok. So rehearsals all last week went pretty well. Guess it was all the time I spent at the piano practicing diligently :D. Proud?? cuz I am. hehe I literally spent 4 hours every day practicing the songs I had to play and sing for the upcoming morning assembly with Rachel and next weeks LA Camp. Ok, I have to admit, the singing and playing part isn't quite down yet for some songs, but I'm 87% there. Close enough right?? It's passable for me.
Not only did rehearsals go great, everything else started to seem to slow down just a tad and things were starting to get checked off the checklist. The artwork, drawings, music were coming along relatively fast and I guess I can now kinda relax because I most certainly need it. The week did go by slightly slower than usual probably because I was also slowing down. Stress and work were starting to take its toll and I can see it in my body and my muscles are definitely not cooperating. A stiff bed doesn't really help a much needed good night sleep either.
Well I also certainly had a nice break yesterday. July 18 was a good day because I got to go to Ocean Park again, but this time I could actually relate and have a little more fun than the first time I went. I got to spend the day with another co-worker/volunteer and her co-workers which was absolutely hilarious. Even though I did get many calls from work saying that they've hoisted a level 1 Typhoon warning, I still ignored them and continued on to enjoy my day. It seriously was hot, stuffy and humid but that didn't stop us from doing our best to fit in the rides and the water exhibit they were having.
Since I went on the equivalent "Drop of Doom" last time, we hit up a different set of rides. The mine train and log ride were the first two along with lunch before they hoisted a level 3 typhoon warning around 2pm. They shut down all outside rides which means they basically shut down Ocean Park. It wasn't that bad I supposed. We still got to see the pandas and other animals in their exhibits inside which I loved to see yet again and they were actually active this time too lol. I missed out on the Drop of Doom and sky rollercoaster but that's quite alright.
We finished off the day with a very wet water park. It was crowded but a lot of people went home and we only really needed to wait in line to have some water fun for about 10 min. They had the most entertaining indoor/outdoor water park fun I've seen. I most definitely enjoyed it especially when an unexpected water balloon comes flying at you unexpectedly. lol Just because I look dry doesn't mean I'm wet... lol Well the best part about the water park was that the typhoon hit when we were playing. WICKED!!! so even if you didn't want to get wet, you still did. I think it was relative to about Typhoon 5. Winds were pretty bad and rain was literally spraying sideways. I enjoyed it hahaha as awkward as it is.
Anyways, we left around 630 since there was nothing else to do and that basically concludes the day.
Today, Sunday July 19, I woke up to a very very wet bedroom. Yes the typhoon carried its way all through the night and I was informed that it hit a level 9 typhoon. Perhaps that would explain the 5cm deep water layer across my floor. Luckily for me, it only reached the first couple feet of my room. Any further and I could be swimming :D. I guess I was so tired that I didn't realize that it was pounding outside and I had a harbour view.
I don't think they cleaned my room yet so I believe I'll be going back to a lovely wet room. I had a very relaxing day especially when basically 10 people came to help finish everything. Painting, sculptures, sheets, and fishes were finally done! You have NO IDEA how happy I am to see fishes done. 104 fishes were made. I made 60... hahaha WOOT. Anyways, that and music is now all sorted. All i need to do is focus on what I'm going to share on and I'll be finally done, until tomorrow I get more unexpected news.
I'm taking thursday off whether my employer likes it or not because I need a day to rest and get outside of the office area. Hopefully it'll be slightly relaxing and maybe some good weather so I could possibly hit the beach?? Well This week should be relatively less stressful and I hope it will be because next week I get to run with the camp. YAY!
Oh, I get a roommate starting tomorrow night! Guess I better clean the room and make sure that the water is gone. I think it might ruin the floor... Oh well.
Anyways, 2 weeks till I come home. This time I'll actually start to blog every day till I get home! YAY can't wait to be home.
I just saw recent pictures of Calgary from a friend who one the Nissan Cube. I might be a couple weeks late but I sure miss the slow rolling clouds, blue/orange/pink/red sky; Calgary traffic; the sounds; less people; waking up to a sunrise; sigh. So close and yet so far away. So much to do too when I get back AHHH
lol
Anyways, worry about this week before I get home. Perhaps I should also worry about my 2 medium sized luggage supporting all the stuff i have to horde back... I think 1 large and 1 medium is about the amount i have to bring back... hahaha We'll see when i start packing later next week.
