So as many of you know, I'm finally back in Europe, and actually have been since Oct. 27, 2008...its only taken me 3 months to get my butt in gear and finally start up my blog again. Better late than never though I say! However, with all that's happened in the past couple months, I'm left wondering where to even begin! I guess first of all, I'm living in Wageningen. A little city known for its international university and research centre. I'm here on an AIESEC traineeship for one year and am working for a company called SHR (Stichting Hout Research)....its a wood research company. To be honest, its not my dream job, but realistically, do most people find their calling on an internship? Its still a lot of little odds and ends jobs that I've ... read more

So I'm horribly behind in this blog. SOrry to all you dedicated fans who are disappointed when they check and nothing new is there. Its much the same with the journal I'm trying to keep. So I've decided just to highlight the key points of the rest of Spain, since to boot I wiped out on these marble stairs today in Athens and sprained my pinky. ITs nice and swollen and blue and makes you realize how often you use the letter a while typing....bloody hell!!!! So anyone wanting to know the full schoop on my awesome times will have to talk to me in person when I'm back in Canada. Plus there's at least a days worth of pics! SO after Palma there was Valencia. THere they have the chapel which is home to the ... read more

So I have officially finished my work placement. And I won't lie...it was slightly sad. Although I didn't really do much there all the time, I really loved the people. And on Thursday, since some people were working different shifts, they switched it so that everyone (except me) came in at 6am so that we could all be done at 2 and then they took me out to celebrate my bday. It was so nice, they paid for everything and bought me a card and a necklace. I will miss them so much! Then Friday was left for packing, and didn't I discover that I had left my camera at the factory! Eek! It was a mad dash back to get it and finish packing so I could go drop my bags off at Irune's (the ... read more

First of all, thanks to all of you still reading this. I know its been a while since I updated this and then the server for the site went down or something. But the worst part is, all of my previous blogs were lost since they were written in the last 3 months :( So if for some reason anyone printed them or saved them, please keep them and let me know. Anyway here´s the message I had written earlier about our wonderful trip to London!!! Hey, finally an update from yours truly. I know its been awhile, but I guess the server I've been using has been down. But I'm being smart about it. I'm writing up the file now and I'll save it so all I have to do later is copy and paste ... read more

After not sleeping on the 7 hour bus ride to Barcelona, I was exhausted by the time we got there and was wondering if it was worth it...but after a couple of hours on Saturday the adrenaline kicked in and the travelling was well worth it. The weather there was perfect, well in the high 20s. We started the day by just walking around town. You can tell its so much more of a tourist attraction though then Bilbao because there´s way more people there who speak English, so I don´t feel as completely lost :) Speaking of English people, who have thunk I´d run into someone I lived with in first year on Eng Floor while travelling in Spain!?! i heard my name and turned around in a busy street in Barcelona and there stood ... read more
