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.....
