banquets

Banquets are definitely going to take up most of my life. Yesterday was my first day and it was a 12 hr work day. I think I may still be adjusting to the altitude. Every so often I feel a little lightheaded and dizzy. I'm beating myself up hardcore for not being right back into training but I guess I've only been here for a few days, I have to give myself some time to get settled. That being said, A is picking my up for a run tomorrow at 830am, which is awesome. Must run more. Once I'm settled into my routine it'll be much easier. I'm rushing myself. Which I guess is in my nature. I'm setting some goals for this work term. Other than work and school goals, I need to set some personal ones. Like I want to take time for me and have that be ok with me. I know, it's a stretch. But it's a goal. Must also not gorge myself on dirty banquet food, no matter how good it looks....that's gonna be hard. I've eaten so much in the last few days it's ridiculous. Run tomorrow and workout in the evening. that's the goal....that's tomorrow's goal anyway. sigh.

Banff

Well I'm here. And it's cold. Which i should have expected. Went for my first run in the cold yesterday. Must get gloves. The Banff Centre is so awesome, think I'll be getting a membership there. Climbing gym, pool, weight room, etc. So awesome. And I have met a friend to train with. He does Brazilian jujitzu and he's going to teach me and I'm going to teach him to climb. Which is awesome. Just moved into the staff accommodation yesterday, it's nothing spectacular but gets the job done. It's just K and I in there so far and hopefully there won't be anyone else cuz it's just the perfect size for the two of us. I've been really tired and i think i'm fighting a cold, also getting used to the altitude I guess. I work my first shift tomorrow morning and then I'll have a better idea of my schedule. I miss Vic, but once I start working I'll be happier to be here, I think.

Banff!!

Long drive!! Good thing I had top notch company!!

Relocating

Well, i've arrived. In Banff!! It's lovely here. Cold....snowy...but wonderful. Staying with ash in the Rocky Mountain Bed and Breakfast for a few days and then on monday I go to the resort. Yay staff accommodation!! whoop whoop!! Kali should be here by tomorrow night which is awesome. I still don't feel like I'm moving here. I feel like I'm on vacation and will be going home soon. Which is entirely false! I'm here and Ashley has made me so welcome and introduced me to all her friends who have been equally fabulous. So now I just have to get settled back into a routing. I've made a martial arts friend who's going to teach me things and i'll teach him to rock climb. Friends are fun. Drove around Banff with ryan this afternoon and saw a lot of awesome elk. loved it. i think it's going to be a great summer!! I do miss my Vic crew sooooo much tho. Sad panda.

Can't Touch This!

So here's just a few photos from the Dine n Dash last weekend. 2 teams, lots of laughs, giant sandwiches and cupcakes. Two of us puked and all the money went to charity. It was also rainy and freezing. But we still had so much fun. We were definitley the. Most enthusiastic group ever. So much fun!!

41 days

Well it's official, on april 26th I start my work term at the Rimrock Resort in Banff!! I'm excited. It's an amazing resort and I'll have all kinds of new places to train. It's very exciting. But it's in only 41 days. Coming up fast. I'm head chef at school next week and it's sucking up all of my time, so no time to write for now.  Soon!!

back on track??

Feeling better....the sun makes me much happier....have been really down lately and am finally getting back into a productive frame of mind. Got to see the specialist about my lungs finally. He wasn't very helpful....we ruled out asthma...so now i got back to my doctor and hopefully get a prescription for some antibiotics to try and clear up whatever is wrong with me.......i have been utterly useless i'm pretty sure i've forgotten how to run and I haven't even looked at my bike in weeks....sigh....getting on it!!!!! Not too much time left in school which makes me happy!! Co-op soon!! Actual location of co-op to be decided by next week......i'll keep you updated....
