Chim Chiminy Chim Chiminy Chim Chim Cheroo!

Camping outside of San Fransisco. This took more than four pictures!

What's in a name?

Well I finally got a hold of this picture from the UNBC communications office, so here it is. I managed to win a contest to name the second corner store at UNBC. My winning entry, which clients of the new shop voted on, was "Food for Thought." Clever, I know! Anyway, I received a Hoodie and free coffee and cookie every day for a whole semester, so it was a pretty sweet prize.

It has been a bit of a whirlwind week or so, new job, Judo tournament, finishing school for the year...many positives happening. I will try and narrate in order but be ready for some bouncing around. I finished my first year of the teaching program at UNBC and managed the best grades I have ever seen at UNI, so I am incredibly pumped about that! Because Catherine was away at training camp over the weekend we have spent the latter half of this week celebrating successes by eating out.
This may have also been due to a laundry bomb that went off throughout our house and the cleaning crew that had yet to deal with the aftermath. While Catherine was away I also competed at the PG Judo invitational and managed silver in both my divisions. I hope to include some photos of that soon.
Tracking back a bit I am including some pics from the Edmonton Judo competition in March and the indoor Rugby 7s tournament from last month at the UNBC sport centre. In any case, my new job is working with developmentally disabled individuals as a residential care worker. This job will no doubt offer many challenges and many rewarding experiences, I am looking forward to it all. At my other job, my co-worker has moved on and now I am managing the youth programming on my own. That is also fantastic as it boosts my hours over the summer. Much needed seeing as UNBC has seen fit to increase tuition once again.
Well to cap off this ramble it was a beautiful day today (into the twenties, wooohoooo!)and we went hiking in Eskers provincial park. Houdini was very happy about this, we could barely keep track of him charging through the woods. Bring on the summer!
