so yes, i have once again taken a really long time to update...but in all fairness i was away for two weeks so i can't be held responsible for that time. speaking of which, Alaska was AMAZING! it is, believe it or not, a lot like canada in appearance (haha) but is so beautiful...it's just so uninhabited and unpolluted... our kayaking leader told us about how they call it the "alaska scale" because everything is so big there that you don't really realize how big it all is. so true. the ship was great too, a lot of stuff to do all the time and i can't even begin to describe how cute my cousins are...i wish i could spend more time with them. i am severely creeped out by one of my co-workers, she's borderline stalking me...haha, not really. but she calls me a lot, always about work-related topics but i think it's just an excuse to talk to me. plus, she's really nosy, annoying, and slow. oh well, i guess that's the price you pay for working in retail in shady edmonton. i get to see dallas tomorrow! woot! i'm so excited...i haven't seen him for almost four weeks now. i hope he missed me, i'm sure he did. he's always really happy to see me, probably just because he can get out of class but whatever. haha. i think that heather and me are going to go to OT's on friday for $2 coronas with some people...that should be fun, i haven't been out in awhile. although i definately drank my fair share on the cruise, but i maintain that it was just so that i could get more souvenir cups for jay's party. ha. anyways, i think that should be fun. i've never been there before but H says it's a good time. if any of you aren't busy you should come by, i'll buy you a beer....as long as not too many people come because that could just get out of hand. well, that's about all for now. i'm tired so i can't think of stuff to say.
