Hi everyone,
I know it has been a while since I last wrote in here. I have been pretty busy for the past while. I started the training at TD Waterhouse USA. It went really well but was totally overwhelming. I like the people there too....there are very nice and everyone gets along really well. I am excited about the job cause it doesn't seem like it is too hard. Which is always good, but the thing about it is that you get really tired talking all the time. I've found that when I go on my break, all I want is silence. I love not talking. Yesterday was our first day of being on the call floor. I was soo nervous my first time I was on the phone but after taking a few calls I was good. Then today I was taking calls all day and I was doing very well. I have to continue that for another week and then we go back to training for advanced customer service. Right now all we are doing is just giving customers quotes and resetting their passwords. And if we are comfortable enough then we can help them with other problems but those of us who are not then we just transfer them to another department. Well I guess that is pretty much all to say about that. I am liking it alot, but I don't like how much money is getting taken off for taxes. Now I finally know what everyone is bitching about! LOL!! Well I guess that is it for now. Later kids!

Do you ever get the feeling that you could just write forever. I kinda feel that way right now, but I don't know what I want to write exactly. I've never been good at writing. Sure I could always get by, but I personally don't feel that I have written anything that is either riviting, or at least interesting. It doesn't make the reader want to read more. Well, I guess that is only true to an extent because you all are reading my entries, so that would mean that you want to continue reading what I have put down. But other than here, anything else that I have writting, what I have said is true. I have such strong feelings about so many things and I just don't have the capacity to be able to express those feelings. And when I try to it doesn't come out how I want it to sound. Or it lacks the feelings that I truely feel. Enough of this babbling. I will just talk about normal things. Things of relevance to my life.
I had said in my last blog that I went to Kitchener, well I guess I'll elaborate on my visit there. I left London on the Friday of last week. Chris' parents picked both Chris and I up from his house at around 8:00. From there we went out for dinner, but before driving half way across town, they turn around to go back to Chris' house because I had forgotten my wallet. How much of an ass did I feel like. They insisted that it wasn't a big deal, but really I know that it probably irritated them. Then we went to Kelsey's for dinner, which was pretty good, except that the seated we got was at the booths. Let me tell you now, DON'T EVER TAKE A BOOTH SEAT WHEN YOU GO TO KELSEY'S!!!! Those seats are slanted and it feels like you are leaning towards your food. It's really uncomfortable. Anyway, then from there we went to Kitchener. Sat, I made an appointment to get my hair cut, and I went and got it cut at a salon called Bilalo. Cool salon, weird owner. lol...but a nice guy. Then after that pretty much just chilled at Chris' parents. Then on Sunday, bummed around the house, then went to my sister Rebecca's house for dinner, which was very cool. Then we went and rented a movie and watched that with my sister. By that time it was pretty late and Rebecca didn't want to wake up the kids to drive us home, so she lent me her truck and I was to bring it back to her place the next day. Chris and I drove around looking for something to do that night but couldn't find anything to do so we just went home. Then Sunday, I took Rebecca's car back to her house, she took Chris and I to Gloss (Gloss is a clothing store that my sister owns for those of you who don't know) Then she drove us back to Chris' then we went back to london after eating dinner. That was pretty much my

Just to let everyone know, I am still alive. I am back from Kitchener, which was tons of fun. It was great to get to relax and hang out with Chris and his family. I also went and saw my sister Rebecca and had dinner there. Um...that is pretty much all for now. I am staying at my mom's house now, so if anyone needs to get a hold of me that is where I am for now.
Later
