Summer....Much?....
Well its been a good couple of months since ive actually updated this thing, so, lets have at 'er!Ive gone back to the city of st. albert for the remainder of the summer. I was put on the garbage crew... go me. Ive discovered that there are certain perks to actually doing this dirty job. First of all, its the only real work out job at the city (besides concrete) were you can actually get some really decent excercise. I lift on average about 5 tonnes of garbage a day. Also, it seems that there are people that actually give a damn about how hard we really work. Ive had on many occasions people come out and give me everything from beer, pop, cookies. On some occasions, some of the other guys on the crew actually get 2-6's of bacardi white rum or even cash! Thats right, cash! Moreover, there is the perk of bottles and cans! We collect the bottles and cans that fall out of the trash, and sometimes people are too lazy to recycle it themselves, so they leave it in nice bags for us! Its free money! It may sound retarded but I have 165 dollars in a jar beside me that disagrees with its retardedness! So tell me its retarded when I'm listening to the all new ipod I intend to buy with the money at the end of the summer.
Anyway, enough about my job. I am currently waiting for the U of A to get off their nice, over paid asses and give me my acceptance into second year engineering. I will know in the next couple of weeks, but the suspense is taking its toll on me.
Carrying on with this school theme, it was my two year anniversary of high school graduation on june 4th. Its amazing what significane 730 days has on someone, I reflected on what Ive done so far (btw- when I thought of this, I was driving my garbage truck so it didnt go over well with me). Ive got one year of university done, great friends, and (I suppose) a decent summer job.
I also thought about the people who left my life under bad circumstances. The people that, two years ago, meant a lot to me and now, rarely even hear from. To those friendships that I may severed, to the connections that were lost, I have only this to say:
I hope you are doing great and I hope that everything is going as you expected it to. I also hope that one day, you will pick up the phone and tell me all about them.
Until then:
This is Falcon signing off.
