Trip to Toronto!

So, yesterday I broke my own little rule and posted the press release from Assiniboine Community College on a Thursday (egads!) First let me say how thrilled I am that our class won this award. Usually I'd like to think I try to be fairly modest but if I tried to describe my behaviour over the past few days with that terminology I would be a total liar. I can't even put into words how happy I am to have produced Canada's BEST student newscast and I've already taken the time to put this little gem on my resume. Also, staying with the anti-modesty theme of the past few days this is my second award in media, another huge surprise since before I started this course I wasn't exactly a great student. Glad to know I seem to have found my place!

Now as rewarding as it is to be one of Canada's best student television producers I also found out Wednesday that I will be traveling, all expenses paid, to Toronto in 2 weeks for 2 days to accept the award and say "a few words" on behalf of my class! Then yesterday I found out that additional funding had come through and so I will be accompanied by six classmates and two instructors as well! This is gonna be a party, especially since my birthday is only TWO DAYS before the big trip!

I have NEVER flown before and as such it had been my new years resolution this year to fly SOMEWHERE over the course of the year. Also, I have never been to Toronto before and so I am very much looking forward to the trip!

Moving onto a few other things for the moment though, today was my second day off this week meaning It's back to the old grind tomorrow for 7 days in a row before I hit the long weekend. That's when Jessica's parents, possibly my parents and Devin and Amy are scheduled to be making the trip into town. Gonna be a busy and fun three days!

Today is also traveling day for my girlfriend who's on her way to her THREE MONTH summer job that deals with what she's currently taking at school. My day has partly been a matter of looking at the time and trying to figure out which flight/bus/taxi she'll be on at that given time. I now get to track 3 time zones on a daily basis, go multi-tasking!

Well that's it for now. I'll keep you all apprised on the continuing preparations for my big trip to the T-Dot and on how my practicum continues to evolve next week.

Type ya'll Monday!
