My Apologies

So it's been over a month since I wrote on here. Partially because I've forgotten to, partially because I've been busy, and partially because I've been lacking an internet connection. Anyways I had a lot of ideas about stuff to talk about, but most of them are out of date. Anyways I'll just sum some stuff up, because if I don't it might be months again before I get internet access that allows me to blog.

-My two weeks of holidays were great with one small exception. Holidays in May?? One of the worst times of the year for someone who originates from a rural community. I was able to see most of the people I was intending on seeing, but as always I miss a few. But seriously holidays in May? Worst time of the year.

-Oh skipping back in time to just before my departure for holidays. I switched academic programs to science. My major being physics. Judging by the course descriptions for the courses I registered in, I think second year will be much more enjoyable and I'll come out in 2011 with a degree that I can use and enjoyed getting. So same job, different degree, but things are looking bright, plus second year should be a lot more stress free.

-Where am I now? In St. Jean sur Richelieu, Quebec once again for hopefully my final stay in the Mega. Let's just say that Mega doesn't mean mega happiness or fun. Though French training isn't so bad. It's just the sitting in a hot class room for 6-7 hours a day that makes it difficult. Oh well on July 7th, I begin my summer long trek to finish part two of my Basic Officer Training Course.

-Where am I actually physically, geographically at the moment? In Ottawa visiting relatives, and cursing out Microsoft for making it so difficult for me to update my computer properly. Then again the slacker salesman who sold the computer a year ago is partially to blame for the troubles.

-What else is new? Well for anyone who hasn't read the newspaper in the past 3 days....they named the new chief of defense staff. I won't spell his name, because I don't like misspelling Ukrainian or Polish names. But we're all happy to see another good general fill the void that will be left when our current CDS stands down. Plus the new CDS is a native of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Need I say more but score 1 for Manitoba!

Anyways that's about all I have for now. If I'm not posting on a regular basis don't panic. I'm still alive, I'm just far away from any form of internet access.
