June 10th: Deadline for submission of RA contracts

                 Deadline for submission of Emera scholarship

Completed and sent in my RA contract by the 9th. =) ! Still don't know why I waited so long.. We needed an SIN number, and I need to get myself a Canadian bank account. Even though I'm with scotia, the currency would be different. So I need to get that done when I get back to Halifax, either before RA camp, which means less time on my island, or get it After RA camp, which means that I might miss the deadline and get paid the next time around.. Which.. i guess isn't bad at all .. There's a day in between camp and the deadline so I'll hustle !

As for this scholarship... 

1. We needed an Essay.. and I really began working on it the night before.. I had a draft already so it wasn't so bad.

2. Reference letters. . I remembered this the day before the deadline ! :| . So you can imagine me explaining this to my intended referees ! lol. But they got it done in time, and I'm glad =)

3. Resumé . I updated mine ! =) Added my new JOBBBBB in therrrreeeeeee =) . I liked seeing a real job on my resumé . I felt proud *SuperHeroPose* . Now it's just a tad longer.

4. Transcript - THAT was a TASK! :| I spent about an hour and a half in that office waiting to see the principal. THEn she tells me that I need to speak to the bursary. Who then sent me to the secretary, which was in front of me the entire time! Except now of course! So I had to wait till she came back. Then What? They tell me it takes 2 to 3 business days :| . WHAAAAAT???!!!! sigh* At this point I'm ready to CRY. And I'm just standing there because I don't know what to do.. 

She just asked ''Why does everyone wait until the last minute to request this?"

And I just stood there . =( . 

Then she said, "I'll do it now"

:| . what???? Here I was thinking that they had to go through some long process of getting information from somewhere else, and getting permission from this person and all sorts of stuff.. Nope. She just needed to fill some things out, and that was it. Three pages. Took about 25 minutes to do. WOW. Anyway, I'm grateful. ! VERY! 

I got everything done by the deadline =). And IN went my app.

Let's hope that I FINALLY get a scholarship... Getting this would be so amazing! sigh*

I'm praying !

This summer really isn't like any of the previous ones.. 

I don't get to wake up whenever I want to, or sleep as late as I want to because I'll be too tired at work! Grr! It's a bit annoying sometimes.. I feel like I'm being robbed of my summer =( . But you gotta do what you gotta do right?

I got a job at a lab, with people I know so it really is a bit fun. My coworkers ALwaYs have something going on so you're never really bored - except for those moments where I've done all there is to do and I'm left idle for wayyy too long. But nonetheless it's a pretty okay job. I get to learn a lot about the tests, and machines, and how everything operates, and there are books in there that I SHOULD be reading but ms procrastination is preventing me :/ . 

There's also a pathologist who comes down about once a month or so, and I get to watch him cut everything up and analyze them. Great way to learn because I'm seeing everything right in front of me. Even though pathology isn't my field, it's still knowledge.

I'm still trying to make this summer FuN. I'm going to every event that I deem FuN, and so far MOST of them have been that way. No complaints.

I've also joined the Gym!. Though I ditched the last class... I really had nothing to wear :/. but it's not as bad as it sounds ! I still work out at home like I did last summer, so I'm not cheating myself of anything much.. but I better step up my game!

 I've been given and opportunity to do something that I've wanted to for SO long and I have a month to get ready ! So I'm hoping everything turns out the way I NEED them Too ! WIsh me Luck !

Love Always,

Neü =)
