as my trip winds down to beautiful vancouver, BC, i've been reflecting a lot on what's next for me....i've had the time of my life here, with a couple ups and downs thrown in, but for the most part, i couldn't be happier. i was incredibly fortunate to come here and have a great house to stay at with such a sweet family! i was also very lucky to attend some events, meet some of the coolest people and build lifelong friendships, and make connections i never would've made otherwise. i can't say enough how amazing this entire experience has been, it's going to be hard to leave and head home, but at the same time i'm ready to move forward to what's next...
speaking of what's next, my next adventure might be taking me to monterey, california! coincidentally, while i was up here in vancouver, i had a job interview with lululemon athletica (a sportswear company based here in vancouver) via skype! oh the new technological world we live in!! it went really well and i find out next week....if i get it i'll start right away! my time in chicago was winding down anyway after continually not finding work there and kyle not being there. he will be in monterey as well learning french at the Defense Language Institute. we're both really excited to see what happens :)
anyway, back to the present and the last day or so...thursday, i had off and took the entire day to relax after how crazy this last few weeks has been for me. i did laundry and had the interview so no adventures out in the city. then on friday, i worked at the house all day and it was by far one of the busiest at the house yet! friday night i used my second day pass for myself and stayed with some girls to watch the canada v. slovakia men's hockey game! canada won and so it'll be the USA v. CAN again for the GOLD!!! the streets were absolute mayhem last night, i'm talking INSANE!!! some of the girls and i went to CLUB BUD, which is invite only, and just walking there we were scared. we made it in though and had an absolute blast! it was really fun, but another long day. it was really the only night i went out big here and got home REAL late. oops. it was worth it though, a great way to end with the girls and some USOC staff!
yesterday was also my brother's birthday, and mine is tomorrow!!
happy 23rd birthday matthew :)
today is another cold, wet, and cloudy day here in western canada...and tonight is my last shift at the USA house...waa waa :(
