A POST FOR THE SAKE OF POSTING

The reason I haven't been posting is probably similar to the reason other people haven't - like Meghan in almost two months - I haven't had anything significant or exciting to post about. Since the wedding, things have been more quiet around here.

Work is pretty much the same, and I'm still covering the community beat mainly, which is okay I guess. I don't mind doing human interest stories, profiles and promotions for upcoming events. It's less stressful. However, Karen Kwan, the crime/court reporter, left the Citizen to begin working for CBC this week so the workload is a bit heavier for the rest of us because we probably won't have a replacement for as long as two weeks yet.

Other than work, I've been doing a bit of drinking of course. I drank all four nights the weekend the wedding took place (Fri-Mon), and this past weekend I went to the Generator both Friday and Saturday. I'm really not a bar star or anything, but it was the UNBC grad ceremonies and I had friends graduating and celebrating so I couldn't just skip out of a good party. I've seen so many people from high school and elementary since I've been back in town it's like I never left. We're even talking about bringing the old Foothills vs Lakewood and Spruceland road hockey back.

Back when I was in grade eight, and going to Lakewood Jr. Secondary School, we organized a best of seven series with two teams, one made up of students living in the Foothills sub-divisions and former Foothills Elementary School Students, like myself, and another of the Lakewood and Spruceland sub-divisions. It was a great series, and if I recall correctly, my team won in the seventh game. This wasn't a bunch of regular games for fun either, this was full out hockey with hits into the grass and even a few scraps. I hope we can get it started again because it was so much fun.

Anyways, I hear other people like Jenny talking about missing J-students and living in Kamloops, but I don't feel the same way. I guess it's because I've ran into so many people up here I haven't seen since I left to move to Kamloops for my first term at UCC. And these people have been awesome to hang out with since I've been back. I'm sure it'll grow on me eventually, and with time, I'll miss the J-school posse. But until the Fall, I'm just going to enjoy what Prince George has to offer, which is a lot more than what many people think, especially people south of here.
