100 rue du Monastrey

The two weeks here at SNAC as part of the Gooch family have been pretty great. I've been dumpstering and to the drive-in. I've milked goats and chased pigs. I've watered gardens drunk at three in the morning. And then I went camping.
The Canada day weekend camping trip was such a blast and turned out so well considering we had no idea where we were going until we got there. On Saturday morning Me, Todd, Camille, Gooch and Michelle all piled into Michelle's car and headed east with a trunk full of beer and pockets full of dreams. We drove for five hours getting turned down at various campsites along the way until we found ourselves at Caliper Lake, part of the Lake of the Woods in Ontario. We settled down at our lakeside campsite and spent the rest of the weekend swimming, canoeing, drinking and making cowboy coffee. It was good times indeed.
Billeting's almost finished now and after Folk Fest this weekend (and mom and dad!) it's back to normal Katmavik life. Then six weeks of that before it's back to real life. When I think of being home, I'm just a big bubbling mix of excitement and uncertainty. Thanks 100% to Jen, I got an email today from the manager of the Bookman offering me a job and an email interview. It's such an amazing opportuinty (who doesn't want to work at the Bookman?!) but the job comes with a commitment to living in Chilliwack for quite a while. I want this job and I love my friends and family...but I've got the adventure bug. I think I'm starting to understand the expression, you can never go home again.
