Monday morning at around 10 o'clock Sara and I left to go meet Emily, Sara's friend, from there we went to our University Campus to get textboo in my case; The Great Gatsby, Macbeth and Of Mice and Men (Macbeth and Of Mice and Men I have already read). After that we went to a mall to pick up back to school essentials. And that was pretty much Monday.
Tuesday Sara and I went to Cathedral Grove a forest reserve where the trees stand tall and Little Qualicum Falls a set of waterfalls in a gorge. It was fun, the trees were huge and the falls were really neat. It was a really fun day. I also got some good pictures.
Wednesday we went into town to ask about health insurance and such for me, as I am not sure if I am still covered in Germany. All week Sara and I had been feeding the sheep and geese. Rather uneventful, if you ask me. However on this day it was slightly more interesting as, as I was carrying the hay for the sheep to the roofed feeding trough I clipped the top of my head on one of the crossbars. After further inspection I noticed that the crossbar was not only a very solid chunk of metal but also a very flat piece of metal. This then feeding wound then began to seep and for hours was pounding. For the evening we had invited over two of Sara's friends to play Minecraft. And did so in style until 2 am.
Thursday was ROCK THE VIU, an orientation day in your classes with fun, games and food. It was fun and I got to meet some of my soon to be classmates, Sara and I got some free merch and I found out that my class doesn't start until the 9th, which I must still verify. In the afternoon Sara took a well deserved nap and I to my horror found out that Microsoft in a pathetic attempt to force loyal customers to buy more accessories only sold a transformer block on the cable which can only handle voltage from 200 - 240 who would do this in a day and age where moving and traveling happens so readily answer. MICROSOFT. if you hadn't guessed already it is a very touchy subject especially after I just bought Xbox Live and now may not be able to use it for another week or so. Thursday night Sara's friend Sabina came to visit before she left for her first semester at a School called Quest. It was cool being able to meet her before she leaves.
Friday Sara and I began work on the basement. Pretty much just applying putty on all the dents and holes in the walls. A rather uneventful day.
Saturday was an early morning as we wanted to be in I Victoria at 8, to move Sara's brother, so we had to leave at 6. It took the better part of the day. The great thing though is that I got the Canadian Xbox power cable yay! Then we spent that night hanging out with the family. Sunday was my first visit to mt. Arrowsmith corps, it was a lot of fun. Then after church we had a family dinner thing, lots of good food and company. It was during this that I drove the Argo, see blue vehicle below. At night we got our zombie estate going. So much fun.
Monday we drove to visit Sara's great grandma who is 98 years old. Then we said by to Sara's brother who is now living with in Kelowna. When we got home Sara and I began priming the walls, when we were done that sara went to bed because today is her first day at uni and I played a couple of games of Battlefield 3.
Now I am about to continue painting the basement after having fed the sheep and skyping with; Matt, Lisa, Sarah, Patrick and my nieces and nephew.
