A Good Start :)

Oh boy! This blogging dealio is not the greatest for me. So much has happened since the last time I posted.

1) My brother Nick got married a few weeks ago, which was really good. I got to see most of my family from Ontario which was great, and I gained a sister in law! The whole wedding week was very busy, but it was really good. It was a lot of fun to hang out with all of my family that I haven't seen for a really long time.

2) I went to the University of Winnipeg Collegiate for a meeting about my course selection for next year. I was a bit nervous going into it, but it turned out to be really good. The schedule is pretty sweet. I have Tuesday and Thursday afternoons off, and I don’t have to go to school in May and June if I don’t want to! I’m pretty excited. The only thing I'm nervous about is the building itself. It's huge and I feel like I'm never going to know my way around it!

3) I went to the Winnipeg Folk Festival this weekend and it was very good. Some of the best performers I saw there were: The Weakerthans, J.P. Hoe, Calexico, The Beautiful Girls, The Acorn, Apostle of Hustle, Michael Franti and Spearhead, and Hayden. The weather was the sucky party of the weekend. On Friday and Saturday it rained pretty much all day and it was very windy and only about 14 degrees. It was a challenge to stay dry and warm. Overall it was a very good weekend though. The music is worth it.

4) I am planning to go to Ontario at the beginning of August to do some fun stuff with two amazing cousins of mine. We are going on a 'road trip' back to Winnipeg from Southern Ontario. I think it will be very fun. Travelling is a blast!

Anyways, that's all that's new in my life at this point. I'll try to keep my blog more up to date than I have been!
