I selpt in till 9am!!! Yeah! XD Ate rice crispies with yogrut for breakfast. Then went on Face Book, Gmail, and manga reader. Worked on moccasins. Had sphagetti with cream cheese for lunch. I also ate bread with buuter and icing sugar at one point, and I made tea, but forgot about it so it was cold when I finally had it......T.t
Then I agreed to play Risk, which was stupid 'cause I wanted to go to JAnie's with MIchelle so JAine could actually SHOW me how to do the beading. I was sewing during the game though, so I finished the lining. And I was out the door as soon the the game ended. (Nobody won, we just all got tired of it.) I speed walked to Jaine's, and Michelle had to jog to keep up (sorry!). Jaine showed us what to do, and also suggested adding beads to the top of the linning. Then I started beading, which was super hard! I was wondering why Michelle was having such an easy time (after breaking her 1st needel XD) and then, right before I had to run back home to go to the shake tent, I swichted over to the kind of leather she was using and OMGZ!!!!!!! It was SO much easier! So I took apart the pervious hour of work, and started over T.T
RAN home so that I'd be back by 5pm 'cause I didn't want to be left behind. When the house got in sight, the van wasn't there. I felt very discouraged. I ate some bread with PB and honey, and asked the people in the house if Chris had left already. They said he better not have, 'cause they wanted to go to.
Eventually Chris got back, and we all went over to Jack and Elizebeth's for 5:30pm. I expected we'd leave from there right away, but we stayed for around an hour and a half. We watched Borther Bear, which was awesome. I also got to eat some meat, cheese and mushroom sub which was super tasty!
We had a bit of a scar though when Denvor left the house without anyone noticing. We all went outside and did the whole search party thing. I ran all over, but by the time I got to the house he was already back.
Then we left for the shake tent ceremony. I didn't end up asking anything. I had been textin g with Mom and Dad about it, and Mom made the point that God would tell me my spriti name in person, and I thought that would be a BILLION times better than having a thrid party tell me. It would be so worth the wait to have God tell me my name himself! (Not that I dislike the name Sarah, I actually like it a LOT but....you know.... >.<) *breaths* I just feel excited thinking about it! >//<
Anywho, I helped serve dinner before the ceremony started. There was moose stew with rice in it, bannock, grapes, apple slices and oragne juice. The actual ceremony was pretty intense. I don't know if I should give you a lot of details. The ceremony did take place at night 'cause it needed to be dark, and the tent shook quite a bit (it was smaller than I expected....) Three Grandfather spritis came to visit, and a couple people cried after getting their answers. We also weren't supposed to hear what was being asked, or what the answer was (none of our business) so we had to talk to cover it up. I was sitting next to Justin, so I pretty much just forced conversation with him......well......I was really talking AT hime for the 1st bit but whatever. We even talked about making form that the committes could use for CCK! Talk about random! There was one break, and I think everyone in our group who wanted to ask a question did. Although Catherine had two and only one got answered.
When we finally got back home, I ate some toast with butter and icing sugar, but the toaster set off the smoke alarm.......1:15am

Chisasibi Week Eleven: Day 1: Sept 16: The Great Search and The Cheif
I was up at 7 am and had a shower. I ate 2 bowls of rice cripies, one with vanilla yogurt and one with blueberry-blackberry yogurt, and toast with Pb and honey.
Work was good. I am gonna miss it, and Naydine. She and I talked (in french!!! >//<) for 1hrsish about working in libaries and such. I think I might seriously consider it as a career. Apperently its not a feild that's in danger of colapsing due to updates with technology. XD
At lunch, I went to find Janie RIGHT as the beel went off. I went around the whole school and didn't see her! So I sat out front facing the school and ate my lunch. I figured if she left I would see her go. I ate spagethiie with cream cheese. By the time I finished it, I still hadn't seen Jaine, so I headed for her house and ate an apple on my way over. when I got to the house, Janie's husband let me in, and I played with Eli for a bit. (He is so cute!!!! >//<) But Janie wasn't home. Her daughter called her, and it truned out she was still and the school!
So I went back to the school and searched all over!!!! I still didn't find her. I ended up at the front of the school, and looked out the window as I truned to go back to the library, and guess who I saw. Janie! I walked back and met her as she came in the front doors. It was a bit tiring, but we had a good laugh. Then we went upstairs, and Janie explainded to me what I needed to do for the beading.
Work that afternoon was fine. I went to the cafatireia and bought to oven-fresh rasphberry turnovers, a dollar each. They were very good. I gave one to Naydine. (Naydine also gave me a muffin!! >//<)
Went home and sat outback in the sun and drew some pics.
Dinner was pizza. Then I tired the "tell me more" software that Katimavik provides for second launage learning.
Then I went to my second sweat. CAtherine and I both chipped in $10 and bought a 24case-lot of water, which I then porceeded to caryy for a good 2 blocks (not that they have blocks, but you get the idea). I felt very......manily.....*sshrugs* We met up with Chris, Talia and Justin, and I still insisted on carring it! XP i don't know, its kinda nice to feel strong every now and then. ;)
Michelle and Gordon went to babysit Jake and Elizabeth's kids so they could go to the sweat.
The sweat was good. I actually didn't leave between the 1st and 2nd rounds, but did after all the other ones. After round three, we ate they scarficies: cranberries, blueberries, fish, salmon, strawberries w/blueberries and water. The 4th round was extermly hot, but despite that I almost feel asleep twice near the beginning of the round. Afterwards, it was very emotional for Catherine.
When the sweat was over, I sat in the sweat lodge longer, and Chris and I ended up talking, well, listening really, to the Cheif. He said the reason I almost fell asleep was 'cause the Grandfather spriti had touched me....The Cheif also just talked to us about life and stuff. It was really cool. I really got a sence that I was being taught. (you know, the whole"at the feet of the master thing") He also made referance to the Bible.
I would really like to see more of that kind of teaching in the church. Less formal, everyone sitting very comfortably, and one person who everyone respects is speaking and that person is very knowlagdeable. .......I don't know, it was just a really cool experiance! >.<
We all walked home in the dark. I showered, ate some toast with PB and Honey, and also ate a small bit of sphagetti with cream cheese. Then I checked Face Book and email befor eheading to bed at 1:56am.
............so late...............-.-"

Chisasibi Week Ten: Day 7: Sept 15: The Pipe Cremony
Woke up at 7:30am without my alarm. Ate cornflakes with yogurt and toast with cream chees again. I also ate an orange, drank lots of water, And actually took one of my iron supplements to try and prevent mid-day triedness like yesterday. I also took my water bottel to work.
At work, I found a graphic novel series called the "Elsewhere Chorincals" and I am postive that it is by one of the artist from Flight!!!!!!!!! >.< I also showed flight to Naydine, who ordered them on the spot!!!! XD AND volume 8 came out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >//< I wonder if Mrs. Bruleson got it for the school yet......not that I can check them out there any more....I'm gonna have to order them for myself. But anywho! The Elsehwere Chornoicals are awesome!!!! I can't wait to get my hands on part 5!!!!!.......once I find it........
My frist half of lunch was spent talking with Justin as we cut out some lamenating. Apperently he is planning onw writing a books series, based loosely on his own life, and he is goona add us into it!!!!! : D It also has to do with genectic engenireing and stuff. It sounds very cool!!! >//< I really hopes he gets it published so I can read it!!!!
Work was pretty standard. I still till 5pm, EVEN THOUGH Chris had come by the school and had told me that we could attened a pipe ceremony that night, but we had to leave by 5:30pm. I managed to get home just in time, by running of course, but when I got there, the food we were taking to the feast wasn't even ready, and no one had made bannock. Michelle was the only on who wouldn't be able to attend the ceremony, because of her moon time. We also had to wear skrits.
I texted Dad before we left. So much for no electronice week.
At the ceremony, the pipes didn't get passed, which relived me 'cause I REALLY didn't want to have to smoke one. There were 8 poeple there with piepes in total. Half where women and half where men. They sang two songs and then we ate the feast. Brandon got back from his party at the daycare just in time for the food. There was our stew, bannock, bread, apples and bananas and then goose, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cupcakes and jello with whipped oil. (It was not cream at all!!! ) Now, the ceremony was taking place because there were apperently two teenage spritis, one boy and one girl, that were trapped in that house because they didn't relize they had passed on. IN order to move on, they needed to eat, that's why they held the feast, and we didnn't actually ate any of the food, the spritis ate it through us............(hun-huh).........
After it finished, Jack's wife did a give away. I got a tup-o-ware container for the house, and then someone said I needed to grab a pair of socks because I was wearing to mismatched ones, not only in colour, but also in length. (one was a knee high ^//^") We hung around upstairs afterward, and found out that Jak was hosting a shake tent ceremony, where you can ask question, like who is your spriti guide and what is your spriti name, etc. The ceremony will be on Saturday, during our 48hrs off, but Chris said he will ask Vrigine if he can use the van if enough people want to go. I wanna go and ask for a spriti name, but I don't know if it's......acceptable.......??????
One we got home, I ate some of the chiken balls and Bradon brought home from his party, and for whatever reason, the laudry wasn't done porperly so our sheets were still wet. I also spent 1 hour or more sorting out mini-coloured glass beads that Iwas stupid enough to mix up. (Sttttttuuuuupiiiiiiidddddd!!!!!!!!) Ate 3 more chiken balls and then Michelle also gave me a biscuit!!!
Made my bed with fresh out of the dryer sheets. 12:08am

Chisasibi Week Ten: Day 6: Sept 14: Daisy and moccasins
Woke up at 7am and had a shower. Breakfast was cornflakes with vanilla yogurt and toast with cream cheese and an orange. And it was real toats, not bread wramed up in the microwave. *rolls eyes*
I wokred a bit on my moccasins before heading to work.
The morning was so busy!!! I was cataloging, labeling, and checking out books to multiple classes.
Lunch was sloppy joes meat (very sweet) with bread, an apple, and an orange. Then I sat dwon, and managed to cover 3 pages of Elise's 8 page letter.
In the afternoon, I got super tired. I think it was because I was dehydrated. Work also got really slow, well, except for the per-Ks. We also had a student in the trades progamme working with us, however, he is evidently disabled, and he can't perfrom any pf the tasks Naydine gives him...... We are hoping his teacher can find a better placement for him. And there's still no word on the bakery.
I was stupid and didn't bring my rain coat to work, so, of course, it would be raning after work. I ran home.
I ate bread with butter and icing sugar when I got home. Dinner was sphgattie with salade and cheese. Our guests were Moelony, Pauline and Daisy the deputy cheif of police. She told us a littel about Chisasibi, then we all took a picture with her and our Katima-table. (The one that has "Katimavik" pianted on it.)
Janie came over to help us with our moccasins. I finished one lining, and am now waiting on leather. I also need to come up with a desing to do in bead work on top of my moccasins. Ate more bread with icing sugar.

Chisasibi Week Ten: Day 5: Sept 13
Got up around 7:30am. Ate oatmeal with PB, jam and carnberries. It was raining, so I unpacked my raincoat from the box I was gonna send home, and walked to work while Chris apperently drove everyone else. :P
Oh yeah, and its "supposed" to be no electronics week, so I didn't have my MP3 for the way to work.
Work was pretty slow. I checked out books, labed books, spent my lunch lamenating. then ate PB and jam sandwhich with an apple. After lunch, I learned how to enter copies into the system. Then did more lamenating.
I GOT A B-DAY CARD FROM AUNTY RENEE!!!!! >//<
Dinner was sloppy Joes, cucmber salade and garden salade. It was very good. :) I did dishes.
CCK started at 8am and went till 10pm. It was basicaly a total flop. Everyone was VERY off topic, and constantly speaking out fo trun. Justin got a littel sinpity, even though he was giving up the position....Chris also removed Vincent as treasuer, because he wasn't keeping track of anything. Julia ended up being our new treasuer, and Michelle is our new Chair-person. I'm abit worried about how that will go, considering Michelle has abit of a temper.....
Haha, Brandon asked me to sing in Chisasibi's got talent....... >//< as flatered as I am, I don't think it will happen.....

Chisasibi Week Ten: Day 4: Spet 12: Last day of Billetting
Woke up around 7am. I ate bread with PB an rasphberry jam. Then had some of last nights dessert of apple crisp and pie. >//<
At work ,I charged my MP3 player on the library's computer, XP brcause Jenny didn't really have a computer at the house. During the morning, I signed out books to some classes and scanned a whole ton of ISBN numbers for cataloging.
Lunch was leftover tomato soup with crushed up baked potato and an apple, which was very good!!!! Then I blogged 2 enteries.l (Not this one.......)
Afterwards, I worked on repairing more books and chatted with Talia and Justin. He and Vincent also photocopied a poster that Brandon sent us, to put up around the school for Chisasibi's Got Talent.
Back at Janie's house, I packed up all my clothes, did the dishes, and ate a bagle with cream cheese and rashpberry jam. Then I played with Eli a bit, and he is so completly adorable!!!! >//< When Janie got home, she showed my how to make my own blueberry pie. She also told my I could use her washer and dryer to do my laundry BEFORE going back to the house, so I wouldn't have to wait for my trun. I took her up on that very kind offer. Then I worked on my moccasin.
For dinner, Jaine had order pepporoni pizza and club sandwhiches with fires from thetake out place. Then I got to have some more vanilla ice cream!!! >//<
I managed to get enough sewing done on my moccasins so that I didn't need any pins. Mom texted me a picture of my "Take Luck" touque, and I kind of think its a shame only Eli got to see my reaction, because I'm sure I looked very joyful. XP
Chris came and picked me and Michelle up at 8:10pm, Gordon and CAtherine were with him. When we got home, I got zero reaction for the pie, which I thought sucked, considering that I expected at least one person to be super extatic....... *sighs* Our activity for the night ended up being working on the moccasins, "cause Chris had brought the rest of the stuff over from Janie's place. I feel like I helped a lot of people.....I felt like a teacher really, but I still don't think I want to do that as a carrer....
I GOT A B-DAY CARD FROM GRANDMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >//<

Chisasibi Week Ten: Day 3: Sept 11: Billetting Cont.
Woke up around 9am. Janie had saved me a pancake!!!!>//< I ate it with butter and cloud berry jam, then I ate a bagel with cream cheese.
Then we watched a ton of movie that were on TV. We saw Mr and Mrs Smith, which was just as funny as I'd thought it be. XP He's just not that into you, which was very messed up, well, not really, the movie was well made but the relatiobships in it were messed up. Anywho, I worked on my moccasins the whole time XP
After that I went outback and read my Bible on the deck. It very sunny, so I just laid there for a bit.
Then I went back to the room to check up on Michelle, and told her some stories. Then there was this tomato sosup for lunch, had it with bread. More moccasins!!!!!
Diner was steak with baked potatoes and ceasaer salade. Dessert was apple crips, blueberry pie( from the ones we picked!!!) and vanilla ice cream. >//< so good!!!!!
More moccasins, and a movie called "The Invisable" which was SO GOOD!!!!!! I had to stop sewing!!! Ahgh! It was SSSSOOOOO good!!!! If you ever get the chance you should watch it! Not for young kids though.....kind of violent........*shrugs* Then we saw the beginning of a movie called Original Sin, which was just weird.
I texted with Mom and Kaylee, but missed out on calling home while they were at city on a hill. T.t

Chisasibi Week Ten: Day 2: Sept 10: Billetting Cont.
I got up around 8am, to find that Michelle was already up, and had done quite a bit of sewing on her moccasins. I ate a bagel with cream cheese, watched some news, and ate cron flakes with ablueberry yop. Then I packed my stuff and we all drove up to JAnie's cabin to spend the weekend. Her mom also came with us.
I almost fell asleep on the drive up. XP When we got to the cabin, we unpacked our stuff, and had lunch, which was beef stew and some of teh bread I made. Then we all got back in the car and drove off to a spot where we could pick blueberries. We did that for around 2hrs, then Michelle said she didn't feel well, so we packed up and went back to the cabin.
Once there, Janie's husband started a fire, then they all took off to try and find janie's mom a ride back into town. I worked on my moccasins for over and hour, and Michelle slept. It was very quite, and the fire made the wram and very cozy. Usually I don't think I would enjoy living without any running water or plubming and stuff like that, but I actually really enjoyed my time out in the woods. Not just with Janie, but everytime I've been since being in Chisasibi........hm.......
There was some talking that went on, but it was mostly in Cree. But man! I was just working away on thoes moccasins!!!! Well, I guess I should clarify that I was working on the liners (flet) not the actual leather.
Michelle ended up thrwoing up, so we packed up all our things and headed back into town. On the drive back, we got to watch a killer wicked sunset, and some pretty tripy clouds.
We got back around 9:30pm, I did dishes, ate some bannock with jam, and then hit the hay.
I almost fell asleep on the drive up. XP When we got to the cabin, we unpacked our stuff, and had lunch, which was beef stew and some of teh bread I made. Then we all got back in the car and drove off to a spot where we could pick blueberries. We did that for around 2hrs, then Michelle said she didn't feel well, so we packed up and went back to the cabin.

Chisasibi Week Ten: Day 1: Sept 9 : Tree Planting, Moccasins and Billetting Cont.
Up at 7am for a shower. Breakfast was cronflakes with a strawberry yop and 2 pieces of bread with PB and Jam. A bit later I also had a toasted bagel with cream cheese. ......I feel bad about eating so much now though. I mean, I already knew that girls tend to gain weight on Katimavik 'cause they eat more, and I don't really care about weight gain myself, but I'm the kind of person where once you point it out, I notice.......
Before leaving for work, we watched some mantracker.
For the 1st 15mins of work, I was running around the school, trying to get a confrimation for when the bus, that was taking some kids tree-planting, would leave.I ended up talking with Judith (the 1st teacher I helped in the school! XD) The bus was going to leave at 1pm like I thought. So after that I went back to the library and finished stamping, stickering and barcoding all the books from yesterday. There were also a couple classes that came in and checked stuff out.
I went for lnch right at 11:45am, amd had leftovers from dinner, plus an apple. Talia stopped by, and we chatted, then I went dwonstaris to do some blogging, but my keys were in my bag with my journal, which was locked in the office.........so Iw ent back upstairs and hung out with Talia.
Luckily Denise came back from lunch early, so I was able to grab my bag before I left to go tree planting with the french grade 5s. I was expecting it to be like what we did at Slyvain's place, but thses kids actually had shovels!!! Safe to say my hands got SUPER drity! But all in good fun for a good cause! ^-^ I also learned that grass is "gazon" in french! XD WE planted tress at 3 different places, and there were some kids I knew from the Day camp. I also kind of ended up being a camera-persone. On the bus ride homw, Tenisha from the summer camp said she'd seen me drinking with Talia and a guy named Paul........I don't understand how she can believing that she can lie to my face about something I was supposedly doing and expect me to belive it........*rolls eyes*
When I got back to the library around 3pm, Denise said it was closed and I could just go home, but it was uper early! so I stayed and blogged till school got out.
(not this entery!)
When I got back to Janie's, I did the dishes thatw ere there, and then made bread. I was waiting for the Julia show to come on, but ever never did. Something about Julia being out sick after spending the night in Radisson. *shrugs* Then I wrote down the story I told Michelle last night. .....yeah..... its was very sleep-overisk. Her wanting a story and the lights all put out and us wishpering 'cause it was late. lol. It was pretty funny.
Then Janie sat dwon at the table and started perparing the oose we were going to have for dinner. (UGH! organs!!!! ) Michelle and I took a walk down by the river, then joined up with JAine and her husband in the mitchwap where they were cooking our dinner!!!! I like mitchwaps, espicailly when there's a fire going. It's so cozy! Makes you want to just lie down and sleep. XD
Dinner was goose, spare ribs, mashed potatoes, and stick bannock with butter and cloudberry jam. (YEAH BANNOCK!!!!!!)
After dinner, Janie showed Michelle and I how to start sewing our moccasins. I accedantly skewerded my knucle with the needel, no blood but yeck! Then we watched "Say yes to the Dress" which was cool 'cause I got to see a lot of different dress, and then we watched "4 weddings."

Chisasibi Week Nine: Day 7: Spet 8 :Billetting Cont.
(All my pens are dieing!!!! T.T And there the one I got from school too!!!!T.t )
During the night, one of the young babies cried, not sure when exactly, but man! It has been a long time since I woke up to thet sound! Anywho, When I actually got up, I had Honey Comb cereal (get what you want!) and 3 pieces of French toast that Janie made!!!! >//<
I walked part of the way to work with Michelle, then walked the rest by myself. We are billetting on almost the other side of twon, so it's quite the change of scenary.
Morning of work was catagouing, lableing, shevling and some checkouts. Unfortunately, there was a mix up with the scheduale, so I wasn't able to read to teh kids. (The school here works off a nine day scheduale.....its very confusing......)
Lunch was leftover shpehreds pie, but I didn't pack very much, so after I went over to Northern and bought a box of Pb/chocolate gornola bars for $5. Back at the school I blogged an entery. (not this one!)
Work was more shleving, and I re-organized the easy-novels section a bit. Then we got 4 boxes of new books, so I was busy until 4:30pm stamping, stickering and barcoding. I also got to play with Naydine's son a bit. XD
When I got back home, I made some pepper cookies for Jaine and her family. They turned out really light, but VERY good. Michelle and I helped with dinner, and then did dishes.
Dinner was chicken with onion, ceasar salde, and rice with veggies. For dessert we had my cookies, and these Egg-white things with gramcracker Michelle brought home from work. Then she and I played with Eli for a bit (he is SO cute), beforeing heading out for a sweat. We texted Gordon, and went over to his billett family's to see if he'd come. It was nice meeting him family and stuff, they are francocphone, and I knew maybe half of what the kids tried to say to me.
Anywho, we walked around for 1 1/2 hrsish waiting for the sweat to start, and we somehow managed to walk through a swamp and get our feet wet! XP Truns out there wasn't a sweat that night at all. So we went back to Janie's for a bit and had tea, ate some cookies and watched some TV. Then Gordon wanted to go for a walk again, to countinues the conversation we'd been having earlier. So the 3 of us went out again, and over to teh ball feild to talk. Later, Michelle and I walked Gordon home (XDD) and manage to get home just 20mins before crufew!
...........*sighs* Life is just so full of BLERRECHK!

Chisasibi Week Nine: Day 6: Sept 7: Puzzels and Billetting!!!!!
Up at 7:30am for a shower. Then ate more kettel oatmeal with Pb, raisins and chocolate chips. Not to mention half a cucmber.
Work started off pretty slow, I repaired books, then I got a text from Mom telling me that Don Mann had passed away.
Lunch was rice with tuna and blueberries, and the other half of the cucmber. And its kind of late to mention this now.....but before we left on the excrustion we stopped by the commercial center, and Gordon picked me up some mints, since he was going in anyway, I paid him back. I love scott mints!!!!!! >//<
Then I wrapped up the book repair for the day, and tried working a bit on my poster for the Dewey Decimal system. I also picked out a book to try and read for storytime tomorrow. I decided on "Ribbon Rescue" by Robbert Munch. Did you know it's actually about a Mowhawk girl outside of Quebec city? I was particing reading it too, but I got asked to be quite 'cause they were doing work interviews in the library. (I seemed very unfair to me that I got asked to shut up. It's MY workplace you know! Go do interviews in an office if you don't want to be distrubied!!!! )
When I got home, I had a snack and re-packed my bag for billetting. Then, since I had nothing else to do, I sat dwon and tryed to help Chris with a puzzel he bought at Northern. Man was it hard!!!! Everything was orange!!! And you couldn't tell the feathers apart from the leaves!!!!! @.@ I think I maybe got 6 pieceas down......It was funny seeing how worked up Chris got XD ......Haha.....I pity the person he's sending that to as a letter.......(he plans to write on the back of it once it is assembled, then disassemlbel it and mail it. Which I think is a really neat idea, the puzzel is just killer difficult!)
When Michelle got home and poacked up, Chris dropped us both off at Janie's, where the frist thing I did was go through the kids toy box and organize it....-.- but hey! they have one of those old-fashioned tops that's makes noise if you spin it fast enough!!! XD Dinner was shepherd's pie and I did the dishes with Micheele (gotta earn our keep! XD) And then we watched TV!!!!! O.o The shows were" I didn't know I was pargenant" (which was weird beyond words.) and the other was "toddelers and tiaras"..........(very distribuing).......

Chisasibi Week Nine: Day 5: Sept 6
I am stupid!!!! >//< I truned off ALL the sounds on my phone, so I couldn't hear my alram and I slept in till 8am. Luckily, I am seim-awesome, so I still made it to work on time. XP My breakfast was kettel-oatmeal, and there was nothing for lunches T.t
As I was walking to work, I caught up to Michelle and "saved" her from a drunk who had stopped her. *rolls eyes* Poor Michelle. I reallylike Chisasibi, except for that fact that I occasionally fear for my safety!
Work was good. There weren't any kids today because it was a ped-day (basically a pro-d), so I spent my whole day labeling, shelving, cataloging magazins, and I read the newest issues of 17 for fashion updates.
For lunch, I headed over to the commercial center, and checked out the take-out place that is run by local women. I bought a poutine, an egg salade sandwhich, a giger ale, and a HUGE piece of cake with strawberries and whipcream!!!!!! >//< It all came to $15, but it was a very good lunch.And I saved the foil tin to use at the house. XD I wonder if my hippy level is improving. (O.o Chris forgot to explain that to us!!!)
Back at work, Naydine showed me how to repair books. Then Chris came by and we chatted. At the end of the day, I checked out 4 17 mags under the Katima-card. :D When I got home, I took notes on fashion and stuff.
Dinner was beef steak with potatoes and salade.
After I went on the computer and checked my email. Dawson has an email account now!!!!! >//< Then I facebooked some and read some manga! XD People were starting to get picked up for billeting week. Pauline is back in twon, and ended up taking 2 of the guys. Then I went along when Cindy and Justin got dropped off. Unfortunately, Jaine can't take me and Michelle until tomorrow 'cause she's got family staying over.
When we got back to the house, just Michelle, Chris, and I, Chris pulled out a favourite movie of his, aleed "The Motorcycle Dairies." It was a very good movie.......and the frist R-rated one I've ever seen......they were swearing a lot, but in spanish......we had to use subtitles. XP
Now its 12:14am......long movie......good but long! -.-

Chisasibi Week Nine: Day 4: Sept 5: Excrusion - Part 3: Freak Out, Good-Bye, and Dishes
I got up around 9 am. There had been some plans to go see the sun rise over the lake (Stacy's idea) but I don't think anyone went.....*shrugs* After I got up, I packed up all my stuff, got dressed, and headed for Slyvain's place. Stopped by lake to sing for a bit. When I got to Slyvain's, I had tea, and made oatmeal for breakfast!!!! I had oatmeal while camping!!!!!!!!!!!! >//< I mixed in some of the leftover trail mix too. It was good.
Ugh. I don't know if it was 'cause of the rain or what, but the black flys weren't out yesterday, but today they were and UGH!!!!!!!! XC It was really bad when you stood still, if you were running you were pretty much okay. I got a couple bits behind me ear, and two on my leg, but no major reactions. (LUCKY!)
I helped clean up from breakfast, then I went and laid down in the hammock by the lake. I sang to myself, and I really didn't want to move, it was so nice. After a while, I hear a car going by on the road, so I look up and see Chris driving away in the Katima-van. Now, this confused me and freaked me out. It confused me because he was headed towards the other lake, in other words, it was a dead end, and I got freaked out, because when I went back to the camp, I couldn'd find anyone!!! I saw Stacy, but eveyone else was gone!!! I was so freaked out that they'd actually left me behind! So I started walking down the road, and eventually found them, just as they were finishing up a chore they'd been helping Slyvain with. So, Stacy, Vince, Talia, Michelle and I walked back on the road so the van couldn't pass us, which was funny. XP
We all headed over to Slyvain to prep lunch, but we got back before him and his cabin was locked, so I just went and hugged a tree for, I don't know, like 5mins?
Then we got to plant trees!!! Slyvain gave us these poles with a metal clinydar on the end, you push it into the ground and it takes out the prefect amount of drit for you to put the spuce (or maybe it was pine??) sappling into. I did this bit, and Michelle brought trees over. We made a pretty good team.
After that we had lunch, which was drity chili. I helped with set up and clean up. Then we did a major clean of the Slyvain house and our cabin. It was funny too, 'cause Slyvain kept complaining that we were taking away his work. XD
By then it was 3:45pm, so we all jumped in the van and left. On the ride back, I got to go throught the pics on Michelle's and Catherine's cameras.
.......And this is a bit late, but the day we left to Camps des Pins, the bottom elemant on our stove broke, so all the bread we'd been eating the weekend was only half cooked.......yeah...........
Anywho, when we got home, we unpacked evrything real quick, I got some laundry going, and then did the dishes that we had stored food in for the trip while Talia tossed out all the bad food from our fridge. (Toatlly saw it coming......-.-) I grabbed a quick shower. Then hung out till dinner, which was mroe drity chilie, and after that, none of us want to eat it every again. XG
Now, I'm sure if I already mentioned this at some point or not, but for dinner dishes, we have a name jar and 2 names get darwn, so house managers have a bit of a break. My name got drawn tonight, which I totally saw coming. But I felt like I'd done a lot, and really didn't want to dishes, which I expressed out loud. The others said I had done a lot, so they put my name back, and put Michelle on dishes. But I finished eating right away, and now of course, I felt bad for having them....I don't know....."cheat" the system? The dry rack was full, so I decided I 'd at lest put those away. Plus they were the dishes I'd been doing earlier. Unfortunately, someone noticed me drying and putting them away, so people started commenting. I don't remeber what everyone said, but I do remeber Chris yelling, "You're name got put back in the jar!" and saying he'd call Vrgine and get me a CTI for over-participation, which got me a little edgy, so I said if he tryed I'd bring religious rights into the issues. >.< Don't even ask!
After that little event, I ate some toast. As I was bitting into it, Brandon, who was also on dishes, asked "Are you eating the last of our bread?" I frooze mind bite with my teeth just sunk into the bread. I guess my expression was funny, 'cause Michelle laughed.
I went out back, sang some, and petted lady. Then I called mom and finished my laundry. After that Chris gave us a quick de-brife of the weekend and talked to us a bit about billeteing, during which I will be sharing a bed with Michelle........apperently its a big bed.......but there was A LOT of laughing for some reason...?O.o
Then some of us played 3 games of loup-garau, and I tryed calling Dad, but had to leave a message. Then I packed a little in prep for billet week.

After that little event, I ate some toast. As I was bitting into it, Brandon, who was also on dishes, asked "Are you eating the last of our bread?" I frooze mind bite with my teeth just sunk into the bread. I guess my expression was funny, 'cause Michelle laughed.
I went out back, sang some, and petted lady. Then I called mom and finished my laundry. After that Chris gave us a quick de-brife of the weekend and talked to us a bit about billeteing, during which I will be sharing a bed with Michelle........apperently its a big bed.......but there was A LOT of laughing for some reason...?O.o
Then some of us played 3 games of loup-garau, and I tryed calling Dad, but had to leave a message. Then I packed a little in prep for billet week.
