Tired of re-runs?

Oh what a special treat for those who actually still check on this blog from time to time. I have returned. SO MUCH has happened since I was last able to really sit down and post more info on here. Exams flew by without a hitch, we all went out on our last day to Niche and had appetizers and martinis, hardly believing it had all come to an end. I dont think it really sunk in for me at that point. After three years you grow accustomed to seeing the same people and keeping the same routine, I think somewhere in the back of mind I had assured myself that this was merely a short break. We all went home and awaited our grades and graduation. I had many road trips and adventures inbetween and took hundreds of pictures. Graduation was a blur, the preparation leading to that day made the actual event seem anti-climatic. Nonetheless it was an amazing feeling. Laura and I brought down the house with our Valedictorian speech, and I was so happy to hear from classmates, staff and families about how much they enjoyed it. We walked across the stage, as the class with the most "graduating with distinction" members :) To celebrate Mom, Dad, Emily, Lisa, Bev and Katie and I all went out for supper in the restaurant in Katie's building, Trinity. That evening I joined my fellow graduates, along with those from the Physiotherapy class on the Sylva boat cruise, lots of laughs and dancing. The next morning we had our farewell Brunch which also celebrated LB's birthday. After we had finished our meals an awkward silence fell over the table. For this was it. Throughout the festivities we had continued to expect to see each other again at the next event...but we had no more planned events. We stood on the sidewalk and hesitated to part ways. We eventually peeled ourselves apart and I finally went down to the waterfront and ordered my grad pictures.
I accepted a position in Fredericton, 3 days a week I am in the Chalmers on the Orthopedics floor, and 2 days a week I am in Minto at the Community Health Centre as the only OT. It has been great so fAR.
I am living alone, and as my last post predicted it is much better than some of my other situations. But I must admit...cabin fever often finds me. There is only so much peace and quiet I can take.
Chris has recently been offered a position at an engineering firm in Fredericton so that is very exciting news. And soon I will move into my rented house so Nanuk can join me in my new Fredericton adventure.
