Sleep All Day, Party All Night


Jr Sr was absolutely amazing!!! Spent some time in the morning setting up at the hotel, lugging trees up the stairs, putting together the center pieces, sort of helping stringing lights on the trees... Went over to the mall and bought jewelry to match my dress. Finally. XD Had lunch and all that and went to our cita for nails and hair. I had my first pedicure and manicure ever! Pretty awesome. I got a French mani and pedi. That's as French as I get. XP Got my hair done and it turned out pretty much like I wanted it. I liked it. :) Then we headed up to Hannah's to get dressed and make-uped. Fun stuff. "The entrance" when the guys arrived was sort of awkward... "hey..." (What else should I say...? :/ ) We had our pictures taken, of course and then all packed into the Maloy's van and headed over to the hotel. Had more pictures taken. Stood around. Took pictures. Sat around. Walked around. Finally got to go in! Sat and waited. The banquet was super fun. All the performances were great. The food was good. The company was fantastic. The banquet ended and we all got ready for the after party. Dance Chivas are the best thing ever!!! I got super hyper and danced all the way to Cala Cali. So fun... I think a lot of people were kind of surprised at me... haha. We arrived at Cala Cali (some property out somewhere) and started a fire. We also started a game of Capture the Flag, which didn't work out so good... Sat around the fire a lot. Went up to a chapel and listened to Josh play the guitar and sing. And make a really random song in Spanish, some of which I actually understood!!! Yay, me! Came back and sat by the fire some more. Went inside and watched some of Newsies. Ate breakfast... yummy pancakes. I went and sat on the couch and sort of half fell asleep. So I still don't know how Newsies ends. So, in a 24 hour period, I had about 15 minutes of sleep. Sat by the fire again. Packed up to leave. I fell asleep on the way home. Kind of. It was the place in between sleep and awake where you're really close to sleep but still hear what everyone is talking about. When we got home I slept for about 6 hours. And was still super dead when I got up. Also, coffee seems to have no affect on me. At all. Whatsoever. Unless it made me even more sleepy.

So, all in all, Jr Sr was super awesome and totally fantasmagorically wicked sweet. :D

Storm Chasers

Another non-fiction writing course composition. This project was a revision of the manifesto we did a while back. ( http://shaneenstravels.blogspot.ca/2016/01/new-year-new-adventures.html ) This is based on a true story - one of the greatest nights I've spent with some of my best friends. The night we chased the storm. The Greatest Adventure Story The night was enticing and full of potential. A storm raged outside, a call to the heart of an adventurer.  However, the young band of heroes curled up safe and dry in their lair, where the sounds of the wind and rain could not reach them.  The adventurers were taking a night off of their usual daring deeds, choosing instead to idly watch the night pass them by.             The hero of a great adventure story must be more interested in experiencing life than they are in merely passing the time.  Excitement comes far more easily and frequently to the active adventurer...

I'm Staying

Basically it's official. I'm staying here. I love it!!! I love the people!!! I am staying. Saturday was awesome. We went to the cast party for Eli's play. That was fun. The chili and cookies tasted so amazing! The best I have ever eaten. And everyone was so overtired... wearing bowls on their heads... talking with stuffed dogs... laughing hysterically at Pixar's shorts. And stupid things people said. Sunday I went to downtown Quito - the tourist area. Saw some gorgeous churches. I loved the Basilica. So intricately awesome. When I got home (it was just Uncle Earl, me and some other visitors) Nathan was here. That was fun. XD Whipped cream... water... all over... yeah. Today I had my first Spanish lesson. It went pretty well. The teacher is really nice. It was mostly review, but some new stuff as well. Went to the first half of the soccer game, before we had to go shopping for snacks for this weekend. It was such an intense game. 2-0, for the other t...

Going to Thailand!

On Friday, November 29, 2013 I was officially accepted to the CARM DTS in Bangkok, Thailand!  I saw the email and said, "Huh."  A little underwhelming of a response, I know.  But I had just been so stressed out for so long, being unable to make plans for my trip and frustration had been building.  So seeing my acceptance was more of an exasperated "Finally!", than a "Yay, I get to go!".  Of course, the news started to sink in throughout the day and I began to get excited about going to Thailand for five months.  At least I was excited when I wasn't looking at the overload of information and extensive lists of things to do, sending me into full on panic attacks. Then I had to figure out how and where and when to apply for my visa.  We conveniently have a Thai Consulate right in Edmonton, so the how and where was very simple.  The when on the other hand - not so much.  My work schedule, which includes three respite families and Famoso, is d...
