Well, the verdicts in. It doesn't look like I'll be spending the summer in the Sault this year, as I've taken the job in Algonquin. This is good because I can spend more time in Toronto, and a bit more relaxed job as well as doing an extra online course and hopefully getting some first aid stuff topped up. 
The flip side it that it's shabby because I haven't been up in a long while, and this job doesn't quite offer the material benefits of the other. Such is life! All day long staring at a blackboard and I start to hallucinate, or rather see the future and of course its filled images of canoes, campfires and jumping in the lake on demand. I'm pretty happy being a 21 year old child, hopefully this is a trend I can continue for the rest of my life.

Almost officially, I'll be home May 22 to June 25th, then again in August for a week or so.
I know I've said this every post for awhile, but its hard to imagine there's only... 36 days left. Not that I'm counting or anything....
I love Japan, I really do. If you haven't been, I highly recommend it. Its definitely the top on my list of island countries that start with a J that are south of mainland China. Its just the thought of spending my evenings on the back deck with beer, barbecues and friends is way to tempting. I'm pretty sure I could have told you this in grade 12, but I'm happy to use the excuse that I'm not cut out for a desk, or at least with every inch of my being I reject it. Its slightly unfortunate that Japan had to bear the brunt of my annoyance at being asked to visit one for several hours a day.

On the eve of another test, I can go in tomorrow with my chin high knowing that no matter the outcome of this piece of academic toilet paper, that the night before I successfully perused every one of Calgary's online bike shops, and not only that, but I also caught a solid half an hour of the latest Die Hard movie. Without the valuable knowledge and lasting images of Cervelo's beautiful 2008 P3 Carbon triathlon bike, I feel that my life would have been just that little bit less complete.
