Ohhhhhh man what a past few days it has been. Packing and getting the house ready on Monday and Tuesday was already depressing enough as it is... but this was next to torture. I know I am a huge baby and all but like I have grown close to so many people I just cannot describe it. I am so lucky to have these people in my life it is crazy. tearing down all the posters in the house, papers we wrote and stuck to the wall and just cleaning the whole house was heartbreakig because we have so many memories in the house its insane, and it doesnt hit you until the worst moment.
JD and I had to make the last supper and also make a supper for the next group coming so we decided to make a shit load of spaghetti and meatballs which turned out in a success. Sitting at the table for the last time was just brutal becaused we knew that it was our last offical supper in the house. At this point I didnt even start packing and I was waiting on another load of laundry to be done. I bawled my eyes out at the table which got Martyna crying also and it was sad but we were all trying to stay positive. I finished packing at around 8ish and we all decided to watch a movie together and make popcorn... I ended up passing out and took a powernap then I got woken up to come out to see the Northern lights in the sky at the park. It was beautiful, truly amazing and def a great goodbye gift. We we got back to the house it was around 1 am and we gave Gab her card and gifts along with it. Biggggesssttt cry fest like ommmmmmmmmmmgg but we found out she was coming to the airport with us so that was pretty amazing. Doing my last rounds in the house was painful but at the same time it was great just remembering the memories and I just thought how grateful I was to live in such a great place. I was in such a cry mood I wanted to sit and just bawl my eyes out, it was pretty bad.
We listened to our fav songs on the bus on the way back but before getting on the bus we had like 10 mintues of silence just standing outside of the house... not forced it just happened, everyone was so sad. We were off to the St. Boniface house to pick up the other group and Colin was there too. The airport was fuucking depressing and we had to wait 2 and a half hours until our flight. Gab left around 3:30 and another cryfest happened it was crazy. She gave us each a letter written to us and after she left she said we could open it so I did and she just made my heart melt. I am so lucky so have such a great PL like her she really changed me.
Anyways the first plan ride to Toronto was a bit long but I didn't sleep, we got in at 8:34am and Soph met up with me to chill for a bit and say goodbye for a third time :( first time I didnt cry! surprising,... maybe I was just so tired or iuno but I am so happy she came to visit me and I am so lucky to have such a great friend. Her letter to me was intense but I loved every moment of it.
First flight I watched Super 8.. got bored of it but then by that time came the flight was over. The flight to Halifax was a bit shorter and I tried to watch that x men movie but it was longer then the flight so I couldnt finish it,. We arrived in Halifax at around 12:30ish and had to wait until 4:20ish cuz our flight was delayed so we got somethign to eat and kinda just chilled. Got the best massage from Stefan :D:D hes the bessst for that :) Kinda just chilled with everyone and yeah we were all exhausted but we made it through. The last flight was a tiny little shitty plane you had to walk on and like bend down because the plane was so tiny but it went by fats and I almost past out then.
Getting to Goosebay was so weird the airport was soo shitty but we met our PL and we took our luggage to the van using the katimavik van so we had to make two trips. Our house is way smaller then the last but newer and nice. The beds are nicer and actual matresses and not leather things. Way comfier andddd we got a closet this time !!! :D:D but yeah Martyna, Danielle and I share a room again,,, different arrangements but yeah,. Right now its chills and I put away all my stuff and im good and all settled but its still kinda weird. We all miss gab and st, pierre soooooo much its insane but theres so much thats gonna happen here so im kinda glad theres a bit of a change.. well theres a HUGEEE change here, its way different and i dont know what to think yet i barely saw the town yet. We read our welcome packages from the other group and they all seem cool. We actually met up with a few people were switching hosues with at the halifax airport and it was cool just chatting for a bit.
One thing I can def say is Labrador is nothing like Newfoundland they are two different places and totally different, even the people here hate it when you call them Newfies because they arent. But for now things are good and ohhhh yeah nooo cellphone reception because no rogers up here so no phone :( i can recieve calls on our phone though for free and were getting the wifi password but i dont even have my laptop anymore because i sent it back soooooo whateves. its good in a way to be disconnected a bit more and do my own thing but at the same time like AHHHH
sooo many memories to come and tonight is the first night to our second half of katimavik, time is just flying by like wowwwww, but up at 9 tomorrow, im one hour ahead of toronto time but 2 hours ahead of the time im used to so its a bit weird but yeahhhhh thats all for now be back with more when i have some.

One more sleep :(
I can't believe it. The time has come already for us to clean the house and pack. Time is just flying by so fast I barely have time to cry about it... could be a good thing but I know I'll be exploding when we have to get on that coach bus at 1:30am. The past weeekend we finished out last day of work and got ready for our camping trip for debreifing our rotation. We stayed at Ferns cottage which was great but we didnt have to pay and his place is beautiiiiifulll. We all had places to sleep which didnt involve being in tents but niceeee guest houses or trailers and the set up was amazing, nothing like ive ever seen before. There was outhouses but they were so properly cleaned up and sinks outside as well that you barely realized it was an outhouse. We had many activities which teams of two and Gab prepared and schedules for whos cooking and whos doing the dishes. I had to make breakfast with Spencer on Sunday morning which turned out pretty amazing. We prepared so much on friday so it was easy to do. The only thing about eating was all the flis and wasps outside that wouldnt leave you alone but we dealt.
The activities were great and I was teamed up with Martyna and we were the last group to go. I feel like our activities reached to people and actually had meanng behind it so im glad. On our free ime we relaxed, had fires, roasted plenty of marshmellows and partied. The partying was super fun and on saturday it really got interesting but no regrets at all. Let's just say I was the beer pong champ and undefeated while everyone else was almost naked :P Bets were interesting but funnn aswell. It was def a time I will never forget. I had a heart to heart with Martyna on friday night then with Lowen on saturday night and I am so glad. I just want our group to be strong and really... it is.
On Sunday was Martynas birthday and we celebrated for that during the day and after at supper too because Spencer made her a birthday cake and Gab bought her gelato from Bigway. Danielle and Mellisa made baked Zitti which was amazing and was requested by Martyna and everything else was just chilll. I fell asleep at around 10 that night bcause I was just so exhausted from the weekend. It really does suck that time flies by so fast like look at it now one more sleep and we will be leaving this place.... I can barely keep my cool thinking about it.
So much has happened here and so many memories I kinda regret not updating this as often but at the same time I liked being away from the computer a lot. I was pissed in the beginning that Gab wouldnt give us the wifi password but after I realzed how much that actually boughtthe group together. Most people has laptops so everyone would have been in their own litle bubble skyping, facebooking, etc all the time. Weve done so much and we went to Winnipeg so many times and I appreciate every factor of it. Even the fact my bestfrend came out to see me was amazing. Actually putting the ime into planning the trip, paying and coming ou here like wow. being in my Katimavik house and my community.. that is something not a lot of people get to experience. Billeting was amaziing and the fast Marinus came out to chill one last time on Thursday was great. Lucky Lucs had like a dirty bingo going on at the bar and we both won something which was sper fun :) but also super sad we went to our last wing night and game night. All the times with the other groups was amazing even though some of them are a bit wierd weve all grown to like each other. Well never see Stienbach again and well be seeing St. B at the airport but who knows after that. Everyone is going to their own community which in our case is going to be bigger but way up north and we have no idea what to expect. I am seriously excited but at the same time I am missing this place sooooooooo much and I haven't left yet.
A lot of things have been bugging me lately, mostly in my mind I always think that it is stupid or retarded but I don't think it is anymore. It's mostly about things back home and I just miss friendships and people a lot. Annnd my cat :( but seriously. So many things has happened and my mind has been all over the place but like... I don't even know what I want. Eveythings been so confusing and one minute I'll think something and the next will be the total oppisite but it is kinda hard to let go of something that is a huge part of you... or pretend to anyways. I can barely say anyhing because it will change other peoples opinions on things but it's also just hard for me. I miss being close with people and I hate having to rely on one person. I know I am away so it is hard for anyone including me but I wanna fix it.
Anyways my trvael schedule is pretty intense and is goes something like this:
Leave the house at 1:30am picked up by beaver coach bus
dunno when we getting to airport but flight is at 5:15am
getting to toronto at 8:34ish am, leaving for halifax at 10am
getting to halifac at around 12-12:30pm, leaving for goosebay at around 4pm
getting into goosebay between 5:30-6:30pm so on tuesday night would be our last sleep but were not going to be sleeping.
I guess this is it for now, St. Pierre Jolys you've been amazing to me, our party was great and just everything. Manitoba is more then you would expect even just the skies alone are beautiful. Bye for now , i'll update when I'm in Happy Valley Gooseba, Labrador ... how crazy is that? :D:D:D:D
p.s WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH crying so much well going to be very soon like..... NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS
P.P.S GOODBYES FUCKING SUCKKK IUNO HOW MUCH IVE LEARNT THIS SINCE IVE LEFT
