Last Week in a Nutshell

Wednesday:  First day of real work!  11:15am, cue first real project.  It's a doozy.  Analyzing a poorly designed two-way concrete slab to see if it will stay up.  (I'm still working on it!)

Thursday:  Forget concrete design notes in the closet at home.  Genius move cost me my lunch hour at 9am.  Drive way down to Chinook mall to get a security tag off my article of clothing that was missed.  Took the whole evening almost.  Though we did go to Staples after to get some special rulers for work!

Friday:  Felt a tiny bit less stupid at work.  Had supper with the family and some old friends.  Refereed a basketball game.

Saturday:  Refereed another game and kicked a player out for swearing.  Did some housecleaning.

Sunday:  Lunch with the family and supper with the other family!  Leif gets the xbox for his month or so.  Hello awful cliches courtesy of NHL2011!

Monday:  CONVOCATION!  Yup.  It's official.  Got to wear my gold strappy grad heels.  Good thing they peeked out from under the tent I was wearing!  Lovely grad BBQ supper at the parents with a beautiful bouquet of flowers to take home.  (Pictures of grad hopefully will come from my grandparents camera because I didn't bring one...)  Congrats to my good friend Tim for receiving the gold medal in civil engineering!  He definitely deserved it!

Tuesday:  One week complete at work.  Feeling a little more comfortable with my lack of knowledge.  Leif finally got to spend time with Keith at their favourite hangout, Earl's.  First night of boot camp.  Oh man.  Here's to hopefully being able to move tomorrow!!
