And it begins!

So yesterday I dropped Carl off for his first day of school...Well, sort of! Yesterday was the first day of orientation, the classes don't actually start until September 13th. He said the day was pretty dull. He is in a program called SURP (School of Urban and Regional Planning) with about 30 other students, most of them probably between 20 and 30 years of age. Carl said they sat in the same room from 9am to 4:30pm listening to introductions of peers and teachers and getting a basic overview of what the next two years will look like. Besides learning that his school is going to cost us about an extra $2500 a year than we (and several other students) thought, there weren't to many other surprises. Ohhh except for the fact that his last exam may not be until December 22nd?! School ends on December 3rd but exams aren't until late - the schedule isn't set yet but it looks like I may be flying home a week earlier than Carl (to hopefully get a cheaper flight) but Carl may not come out until the 22nd :(

While Carl was on his way to get learned, I went to all the Scotiabanks in town! They are all pretty close to each other, our place and the school so thats exciting! I went to the first branch and got my first shift for this Friday! I went to the second branch and turned down a job I was offered right off the bat (it was 4 days a week and only 4 hours a day right in the middle of the day) but I am scheduled there for the next 4 weeks from Tues-Fri! I went to the last two branches where the supervisors were busy so I just left my name but might hold off on contacting them as I think I may get enough work between the first 2 branches! That was easier than I thought!

Last night we went to a SURP trivia night with the people in the program which wasn't to exciting but nice to meet people! Tonight we are going to a SURP BBQ at one of the teachers houses, tomorrow is a corn maze, Friday night is a house party and Saturday night is a Pub Crawl. For the pub crawl, we have to dress up as a typical person from our home town - But I told Carl I wasn't comfortable dressing up as a Surrey girl so we are going to just wear our Canucks t-shirts :)
