So last week I was on vacation, and it felt like FOREVER since I didn't have to worry about school or work. The days would come and go, and everything was up to me: what I was going to do, who I was going to see, and how I was going to do it, was all in my hands! I already miss it.
Sunday:
After making a pit stop at Maria's camp to drop of some things, I spent the day with my family in St-Sauveur, shopping around and going for lunch. Afterwards, I met up with James, Jess and Megan in St-Jerome where we began our journey to camp Weredale to see Katlynne. With a tin of 24 cupcakes reading "We love you Kay", we said our last good-byes since she will be spending the rest of the summer out of the country... Lucky girl! We are going to miss her tons though <3
Monday:
I spent the afternoon with Tamara, we did some shopping at Fairview. After that, we set up my GPS and drove to Il Motore (thank God for the wooden sign with Il Motore written in dripping paint, otherwise, I would've never found the place.) We got to sneak into the venue, thanks to Mike, and avoid the downpour. I had never heard M.T.L play before, but I decided to check it out since it was a show that could either make or break their career in the music industry. Executives from Universal, Musique Plus and Much Music were there to hear them play, and to possibly sign the band. It was such an amazing show!
Tuesday:
The best day of the week! I got to go to La Ronde with a bunch of my Maxi amigos, and friends. The whole event was a fundraiser for Mandy and Ariella. Not only did we have an amazing time splashing in the puddles, laughing hysterically, screaming on the rides (I can still hear Jon screaming haha!) but the girls got to raise $140 for the walk too. After spending about 8 hours at the park, we decided to head out for dinner at Sir Winston Churchill Pub on Crescent, with the idea in mind that we would also take advantage of their $2.50 drink special. But due to their "anti-shorts" dress code, we couldn't get in... Oh well, the day was spent in good company!
Wednesday:
I went shopping with Janna. I basically dragged her into every sports' store known to man in order to find running shoes for the walk. I found a pair, and they are really comfy, but I find them pretty ugly. I don't get what it is about running shoes, but they really aren't fashionable at all. The ones that I liked, didn't have enough support... It was a frustrating experience, but it was nice to drive around and spend the day with my little sister since it doesn't happen too often!
Thursday:
I wore my Canadian red tank top proudly! I am a proud Canadian all year 'round, but there is something about this holiday that puts a smile on my face. I just love it. I spent the evening in the Old Port with the gang (James, Alex, Spencer and Jess) to see the (despicable) fireworks. We were supposed to meet up with Mandy, Jon and Ariella but they got lost and couldn't find us until later on in the night. I love walking those cobble-stone streets! The best part of the night was probably the drive home though... I was in Mandy's car and we spent the whole ride home laughing and singing obnoxiously. I love them, they are seriously the only reason that I am still at my job.
Friday:
First sun burn of the year! After running some errands with my family, I spent the afternoon outside reading. It had been a long time since I picked up a book, so I decided to continue reading one that I had started at the end of the semester: House Rules by Jodi Picoult. As much as I love being out and about all the time, there is nothing more relaxing then just sitting in the sun, with the wind blowing through your hair and a good book in your lap. I love it. After supper, I went and saw The Karate Kid with the family. Although I was eager to see how Jaden Smith would do in his first film, I wasn't overly keen on seeing the movie. I was pleasantly surprised, the movie was actually amazing! Jaden Smith was amazing through out and will continue the family legacy, and will make his Dad proud, in the movie-industry.
Saturday:
MORE READING! :)
In the afternoon, it was just Mom, Dad and I. This like NEVER happens! I had a really good day with them running errands. It was nice. I wish it happened more often.
And that was that.
Now I'm back at work.
Dealing with customers.
Oh boy.
Now all I have to do, is wait for August, the fun will start all over again!
