busy times in the world of AEDR

So I haven't posted in a while so I figured I would do sort of a recap of my past week. I guess I will start with the...


WEEKEND:THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM

My sister, her boyfriend and the baby came down from Friday to Sunday. We don't normally do to much, or anything really exciting. The Friday we got take out and rented some movies. I got a gyro from pita pit and others got the same thing as well as some Chinese food. We enjoyed watching the move Death Sentence with Kevin Bacon. I really liked it because it is a very raw and gritty film, I mostly just like the style of the violence.

The Saturday we stayed in due to the horrific snow storm that was unleashed on our small crappy town. I had to shovel the driveway two times that day...TWO TIMES IN ONE DAY!! my earlobes even froze. Then we stayed up late playing monopoly and my sister and I decided to call it tie game when it got late and we didn't want to play anymore.

Sunday we didn't really do too much, sat around being lazy. Then we had to squeeze 4 adults, 2 kids, and a baby into a 5 seater jeep. That was a very uncomfortable drive into London that is for sure. We got to London and were at my sisters apartment for a while then my little brothers dad picked up myself and my brothers and went to his house to spend the night.

MONDAY: THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT

I woke up pretty early. I needed to shave and get ready for my interview. My interview was for 9 am and I arrived at the recruiting center maybe at about 8:58. Fortunately that was alright because it took a little while for the captain who interviewed me to get ready. He was a really nice guy and the interview went really smoothly lasting about an hour. I am legally not allowed to discuss what was discussed in the interview so that's pretty much all I can say about that. When the interview was done I was told that I was on the merit list, the merit list is basically saying your application is complete and now you are just waiting for a job offer and a basic training date, so at that point I was pretty much in and I was very happy. I got picked up from my interview when it was done and went back to my brothers dads house for the rest of the day and hung out with my brothers playing games, and watching movies.

TUESDAY: THE CALL Pt. ONE

I had checked the phone messages and I had already gotten a call back about an open position for a basic training course starting on March 17th. I knew that was too soon but I wanted some time to think about it so I said I would call them back. I then had to go to the masonville area with my brothers while their dad went to a job interview.

We walked around to best buy where they bought the Simpson's Movie(which I love), then we went to the pet store (pet smart I think?) and we looked at the animals and lizards and stuff and my brother got some treats for his ferret, we then walked over to Chapters and my brothers got some books and then we went to McDonald's where my bro's got some food while we waited to get picked up. I wish I had known I was going to be staying in London for as long as I did because then I could of planned to do something with friends while I was down, but alas I did not. I also planned on calling the recruiting center back that day as well but we didn't get back to the apartment in time.

WEDNESDAY: THE CALL Pt. TWO

Since I was not able to call the previous day to the recruiting center I called almost as soon as they opened. I told them that the 17th would be too soon and I was then told a course starting on the 31st was available and told them that would be perfect. It took me almost 7 months to finish my application process and get into basic training and I was very excited that it was finally done.

Later in the day I went over to visit my nana and papa, my little cousin zhoe was there as well. I don't get to see my family on that side as often as I wish I could so I was happy I was able to. We stayed at my grandparents house for a little while and then my little brothers and their dad went back to his apartment while I stayed to go out to dinner with my aunt and her new husband.

We dropped off my cousin at my uncles house before going to dinner. I had not seen my uncle in a very long time so it was definitely really good to see him even though we didn't stay very long.

I had dinner at a Greek restaurant out in Hyde park where I got a delicious souvlaki. Then we went and I got to see my aunts new house, which was very nice. I really missed my aunt so it was really good to see her as well.

I was then dropped off at my brothers dads to spend the night.

THURSDAY: THE LONG ROAD HOME

Thursday, or in other words...today, we drove back here to Chatham around lunch time. I haven't done too much today. I needed to go out to buy a bunch of stuff from walmart, the dollar store, and future shop for when I leave for basic training. I mostly needed hygiene products and cleaning stuff. Then I came home and was really bored and decided to write a blog about my week.

I guess that leads me to right now....
