Sadness

Tonight is my last night in dorms. This afternoon was grad, and it was really good, but involved lots of goodbyes. We leave tomorrow after church, and then I won't have internet anymore. *sigh* I'm going to miss this place, the people here, everything. But it looks like I'll be back next fall, so that's something to look forward to. I'm going to make myself cry, so I'd better sign off.

Creeper!

We had a creeper skulking around dorms last night. The doors weren't locked because of an event that had been happening downstairs, so he had free access for a little bit. Sheila (my boss) was downstairs with a few girls the first time he came in. She asked him what he was doing and he told her he was just looking around. She informed him that this is a GIRLS dorm and that he's not allowed in, and sent him back out the way he came. I was upstairs on our floor at the time, and noticed him when he stuck his head through the door. I left pretty quick when we started to walk towards him. I right away went and got my card and locked the door up again. (You have to swipe your card to be able to get in and out of the dorms). Anyways, about 5 minutes after I went back downstairs he shows up again! I'm thinking "how the heck did this guy get in?! I just locked the door!" He was all "apologetic" (and smelling like alcohol) because he knew that he wasn't supposed to be there but he lost his cell phone blah blah blah. He gave us his name and phone number and then started back out the door. I realized that no one was going with him, and he couldn't get out without one of us swiping him out, so I got up and followed him (he didn't know I was following). THEN he ducked into one of the housekeeping rooms!!! I followed him in, and this was the dialog that followed:

Me: What are you doing?
Him: Looking for my cell phone
Me: Were you in this room?
Him: No
Me: Then your phone won't be in here. I'll let you out.
(Leaves the room and starts up the stairs to the door)
Him: But I need to find my phone!
Me: We'll call you if we find it.

It was so freaky! Sheila called the number that he had left and we think it was his mom who answered, so the number was legit. We found out that one of my girls had gotten her hands on a 24 hour card (the highschool cards stop working at 10) and she had let him in. He came back again later and was trying to get a college girl to let him in, but she wouldn't. Sheila had called security and gave them his name, number, and description. Oh, and when he came back the third time he definitely had his cell phone.

Boo snow!!!

It should be against the laws of nature for it to snow after we've had such beautiful weather! I was camping just last weekend (and got burnt wearing a tanktop and shorts!) and now this weekend it's been snowing since yesterday afternoon. SO not fun. *pouts*

Changing topics, a week from today I will be leaving Three Hills. Incredibly hard to believe, but it's true. This also means that I won't have internet access for the majority of the summer. SO, if you want to keep in touch with me, e-mail me your phone number within the next week. =)

I'm going to go pack now.

Last night on call

*sigh* My time as RA is coming to a close. I'm still in dorms for another week and a half or so, but tonight is the last night that I have offical RA duties. I really going to miss this place and the girls. As much as there have been some tough times, it's been an amazingly great year and I've learned more than I thought was possible. The girls have taken me in as one of their own and they've become friends and sisters. Oh boy, now I'm going to start crying. I guess I'd better just make the best of the rest of the time I have left. *sigh*

Camping trip!

A couple of weeks ago or so Lisa and I decided that it would be fun to do a girls camping trip before the school year was over. We managed to pull it off yesterday, and it was so much fun!!! Five of us girls went out to Buffalo Jump/Toleman's Bridge around 5:30 yesterday and set up camp. Mostly we just hung out and ate. For supper we had salmon and potatoes, all cooked over the fire. We kind of ate in stages as everything was ready, which was nice cause the food was never cold. For dessert we had smores. =) After everything was cleaned up so that it wouldn't attract animals, we headed to bed. I slept incredibly well, thanks to a friend who let me borrow her sleeping bag. In the morning we had bacon, scrambled eggs, toast and coffee or juice. I ate better camping than I do at home! hehe. After breakfast Jess and I took naps in the sun while Lisa, Jill, and Kimi went hiking. It was great. =) Once we woke up and the other girls came back we got lunch together (hot dogs), cleaned up camp, played a few games of Uno over coffee, and then headed home. We got back around 2ish. I definitely need to do the whole camping thing more often. What made it even better is that it's about 20 degrees today (warmest day we've had yet this year), so we're all wearing shorts/capris and tank tops. Sweet eh? =D

The countdown is on and the crunch begins

OK, so not so much of a crunch for me. I have one paper to write and a couple of reading responses, and that's it till exam week, when I have two exams to write. However, I have officially decided that I will not be staying the Three Hills for May and June, so another countdown has begun! Here are my current countdowns:

- 16 days till the last official day of classes (about 14 till I'm actually done)
- 24 days till grad
- 25 days till I leave Three Hills with Dan
- 29 days till I can call my family in Ontario and talk for as long as I want (except that they'll be jetlagging... dang it)
- 45 days (approx.) till I take Dan to Ontario to meet the family

That's all of them for now... But I should work on my paper. Time to finish strong!!! =)
