STRANGE INDEED - GOING TO PRINCE GEORGE FOR A WEEK NEXT MONTH!
When I look outside in the morning, and see the frost that covers my car, I still can't believe the summer is so long ago. Where was the fall? This past summer had to be one of the worst in a while. July had a few decent days, August had some real bad ones, and October was nicer than September. Ya, it was strange.
Speaking of strange, on Wednesday my damn alarm never went off, and I slept in until like 10:45 a.m. Luckily I was able to recover, put in extra time last night (stayed at the office until about 1 a.m.) and still managed one of my most productive weeks since I started at the Lacombe Globe. Let me add that I'm also taking ringette photos this week for National Ringette Week in the Globe, so to say this week has been busy is an understatement.
Work is keeping me busy, which is nice because if I wasn't working here I probably wouldn't be doing much of anything. Yet when I'm not working I wish I had more social activities to take part in. The problem is I don't always know what nights I'll have free. Sports events just pop up, and some nights I have to work late.
I miss the social aspect of school, the parties, the younger crowd, the excitement. That just doesn't happen as much in Lacombe and when the only excitement I'm around is as a reporter, the thrill isn't the same. Being the centre of attention can certainly have more appeal, plus you don't have to worry about accuracy, objectivity and all that. I just like the attention on myself and not on someone else sometimes. I can only observe for so long.
I guess reasons such as my job, lack of many non-work related friends (I have some, but they exist in areas outside Lacombe like Calgary and Edmonton), and the same old news in Lacombe is why I'm excited about going back to my hometown of Prince George for a full week over Christmas. It'll give me a chance to relive a little bit of my teenhood, go out for drinks with old friends, catch up with my family, and not think about journalism for a full week.
My flight is secured already. I'm flying out of Edmonton International on Dec. 24 and flying back on Jan. 1. A bonus is that my return flight doesn't leave the PG Airport until 6:40 p.m. so I'll have plenty of time to nurse a hangover. Hooray, its back to the mountains for a week (in only 36 days). I'll definetely have to do some snowboarding.
