an issue of trust

Were down to seven participants! Very crazy how fast that can happen!

Im so frustrated right now! There is one girl in our group who is a complete snitch and lies about the fact even though we know. Its her fault that Jon went home on Tuesday!
We tried to confront her last night, but she got angry and left the house! She went to our guardian angels house. They came back over and talked to the girls and decided she was going to stay at the guardian angles house for a couple nights.
According to Katimavik rules, you are suppose to be in your own bed each night. our PL is gone to a meeting in Goose Bay and when she gets home there will be more shit for her to deal with.

While the girls were getting a talking to, the boys took a trip over to other Katimavik house in our town and had a little visit. We invited them to come out with us at midnight go watch the stars. There was suppose to be a meteor shower. We went out to the beach and saw a few shooting stars, but nothing spectacular. But it was a fun evening spite of the little incident after supper.

We visited a sweatlodge on Sunday evening and Ive been sick ever since. The experience was really neat, Im not sure if i could go again though. who knows.

Chillin at work, I think im the only one here. I havent seen one person in about an hour. Everybody goes home at like noon on paydays, or just doesnt show up at all. But im having fun on the computer here doin what i need to do. Even if the internet connection is horrible.

Im eating a veggie meatloaf with rice made by valorie. Very tasty, ground round, spinach, carrot, zucchini and egg i believe. I enjoy it along with my cup of coffee.

Big news on twitter! wooo
Oprah joined, and Ashton Kutcher beat CNN to have 1000000 followers. historical day!(sarcasm)

roughly 8 or 9 weeks until i hop on the plane and head home. i dream about this day. I feel like im bored alot of the time. No alcohol, no stores to visit, no bars. Im always sitting around doing fuck all. Im looking for a project. well see what happens.

no shock here

The last week in quebec was a really good wrap up. As house manager, it was rather relaxed aside from all of the cleaning. On our last night Veronique treated us to a traditional Quebec dinner. Different kinds of cheese, breads, crustations and a very good leek soup. The next day was my favorite! We visited un casse-croute en nord shawinigan. I think they had the best poutine in town. and trust me. I KNOW. I must have tried at least ten different places.

We left for rotation camp on the Monday morning. It was actually more fun than i thought it would be. Rotation camps seem to be pretty boring, or at least it was last time. We boarded a bus after a few April fools day jokes. Stopping at the trois riviere house and the victoriaville house we made our way to what we thought would be a town nearby. We ended up being in the middle of absoloute nowhere. A place called St. Ferdinand. It was a presbyterian, family member of the PC i guess. Anyways! We played alot of games and just had some fun sharing our experiences!
The bus arrived at 230 am Wednesday morning. I hadnt slept this night, it seemed rather pointless. Instead i stayed awake with the help of caffeine and a shower at 2am. Arriving at Montreal to watch the sunrise we had our breakfast and headed through security to meet with another group from the area taking the same flight. Which we found out would be our neighbors in NWR.
We arrived in Goose Bay at about 4 o clock...i believe...I really have no clue what time it was. I was rather out of it. very cool place! we were met by our PC dominic. Very cool guy, i learned alot from him.
Our house is pretty big, the boys got the big room this time so each of us have our own bunkbed. The house is located in NWR but we all work in SSS. I managed to get a job at the environment office called Innu Nation. Im learning alot about the effects of climate in Labrador as well as different aspects of environment in the area. trees, animals, plants etc. Right now im starting a prject where I will be analyzing the effects of weather change in the area. I will also be digitizing all of the pictures from the community just in case of fire, so these priceless photographs will not be lost.

Im learning alot about the innu culture here and even learning to understand a little bit of their language Innu-aimon. So far we have made bannock and hung out in a hunting cabin. But im sure more will come.
