Hey there! I finally made a decision about Nicaragua -- I am not going. Instead, I am going to pick up more work over the summer, and hopefully go to British Columbia and see my little nephew. I'm very excited about all the oppurtunities, and I just know that another chance like Nicaragua 2010 will happen some day in the future!

I think I am also sold on the idea of joining the Canadian Reserves. I have done a lot of homework, and the more I learn about it the better I think it would be! But I will wait until 2010 to apply, just in case I change my mind for some reason.

By the way, I started my full first year of university! I am taking four courses this semester -- Calculus (the professor is incredibly smart, and makes the class laugh too), French (it's a little intimidating because it's a second year course, but I love French and it's going to be my Major), Spanish (the professor is so out-going and bubbly, plus I already know a few friends there), and Global Issues (it's a required course for graduation, but unfortunately I can't stand my professor! He's extremely left-wing, loves cursing a lot, and assigns the most pretentious, left-wing reading I have ever had to do!). Overall though, my experience at school has been great so far! I love finally earning my university education.

Well, I have to run. This morning I have Calculus and Spanish classes, and then I am grabbing coffee with two of my friends. Adios!
