Touring Peterborough

Sarah & Chels drove me to Peterborough on Friday with all my American Eagle clothing to wear for my new job.  They stayed the weekend and I showed them around the town.  We had a look at the Trent University campus, Peterborough Zoo, Beavermead Beach, Festival of Lights, and some of our nice patios!  A great weekend!

The real camel was to scary to pose with, but this one was cute!

We had dinner on the rooftop patio of Junction Nightclub with my friend Marwa (and her friend who was visiting from Toronto).  Great food and then we posed on the famous red wall.

Workin' Girl!

Thought I would update you all on my new job.

I am a sales associate at American Eagle... My dream part time job!

The first shift went really great and I am hoping for a steady increase of hours for the rest of the summer.

I spent the first 2 hours of my shift cleaning up the change rooms and then I helped people in that section of the store for 2 hours once we opened.

Each day we have a goal for how much denim to sell and how much overall profits we should make.  I was 2 pairs shy on selling jeans, but beat my overall sales goal.  So a successful first day.   I am already loving the job and I think I will do really well there!

No more shifts this week.  But as I said, hopefully I'll be getting more hours soon!

Enjoy your air-conditioning!  It's hot out there!

July '12 Update

Been a while since I did any blogging but time in Canada has been flying by.

Spent the month of May and a bit of June doing placement in a grade 4/5 classroom for my Queens education degree.  Got a lot of experience working on a little play The Pirate Girl, teaching about habitats, track and field day and even some field trips. Lots of fun!

Then my dad was in the hospital for a few weeks before having a quadruple bypass.  He just got home last week and I thought I would share this super cheesy video of his reunion with our dog Rags!  Super cute!

Enjoy your summers!
