BBT

So didn't go asian shopping in the end with Alan, we were both busy. I went golfing with my parents instead and he had to stay home all day to wait for Bell internet service engineers. Golfing was fun, except for the first 3 holes where it just went absolutely horrible. It's weird how I can't play well with my parents; I think it's because I want to show them that I can play well and then I psych myself out. After that though, I got a whole bunch of bogeys which I'm pretty proud of since that was only my second time golfing the entire year (and probably my last). I am bringing my glove and golf shoes back to Edinburgh with me though in case we do go golfing. Kyle brought his back already and we're both lefties so maybe I can borrow them off him?

I'm back to finishing my horse EMS today. It was interesting..not. Got to shovel manure from 10-3 pm. Not the funnest but at least it keeps me busy and physically active. I am starting to feel sore about my hip though and I don't think it's my muscles. It only hurts on the left side with I pick the left foot up when I walk. It may be my hip joint - I always felt that my femurs weren't entirely articulated with my acetabulum so maybe that's it? Either way, I guess I should take it easier...I am giving them free labour.

Tonight I went to bubbletea with Stella, a good friend from high school. We still meet up every time I'm home and it was really nice catching up. I am really proud of where she is right now and I know she's going to do great things in her life. It's nice to meet old friends and see where they are now from what they planned on doing when we graduated. Hopefully I'll meet some more friends before heading back.

Summer

So again, I am horrible at updating. Why?! I'm just too damn lazy...so I apologize.

Since my last post, I have officially finished my first year at vet school! WOOOOOO!!! It's been a grueling year but I have to say that everything has worked out so far. Kyle and I are still in our new flat, living quite happily. I just finished all my EMS forms and have sent them in.

I came back to Toronto beginning of July and had a little freak attack because my initial horse EMS placement had fallen through! So I started calling a whole bunch of places and was fortunate to find a place that would take volunteers in Stouffville. I still have another 4 days to finish (although he had already signed my forms) because I'm not a jerk like that.
And just last week I went up to Wikwemikong with Kyle (picked him up at the airport) to visit his family. It was a fun week and there was a welcome home party for him. His family hired a Johnny Cash tribute band to play at the cabin and they were amazing! I definitely abused my body those couple of days. Let's see...
1) Alcohol - not that much though but we did play flip cup and beer pong.
2) Went swimming and cut the bottom of my foot - ouch!
3) Kyle's grandma dropping a super hot sausage from the grill right on to my foot = burn on toe.
4) Tripped on the dock and cut up my toe pretty badly - bled profusely for a couple of minutes
5) Got my leg cut up by a lawn chair - this was an interesting story. We were on a boat going to Killarney for fish and chips and we had to sit on those fold up lawn chairs. And those cheap ass lawn chairs can not hold up Kyle's weight..especially over bumpy waters. So it broke and slashed me a good one on my leg. That's what I get for wanting to sit next to my boyfriend eh?

So all in all, great fun up north. Got eaten alive several times, especially during twilight golf.

For now, I'm at home, chilling with the family. About to head to the airport to say bye to Kyle for 2 weeks. He's already heading back to Edinburgh to work on his Masters and I'm still around for another 2 weeks.

There's a plan for Mongolian grill soon so pretty excited about that! And also going asian shopping with Alan on Monday!
