First mistake!

Ugh. My 5:15am alarm didn't go off this morning... not stoked! However, I called in and got dressed as soon as possible, made my way over and worked the rest of my shift. Since they have pretty high standards here, it did get recorded, but no one was too angry--everyone knows it happens to everyone.

From now on I will be setting TWO alarms! Just to make sure.

So far, I've been teary every day since David has left... I just really miss home, and being around people I know. It's just taking some time.

I had a nice chat with a co-worker this morning, Matthew, who is from England and has quite the proper accent as well. Through chatting we found out we are both equally obsessed with Hanson! Which is hilarious, because he is 28. He has all the cd's, dvd's, books, calenders... Amazing. He proceeded to tell me that I will get used to it after awhile, being out here... and that if I'm ever teary or lonely, I can join him and his girlfriend at their place for 'tea and scones'. Haha... awesome.

I forgot to mention before, that last week at a little 'Host' meeting we had, involving about 10-15 people, we had fake audits done by our supervisors just to see where we stood. I was the newest hostess there, but I had the second best audit and won a bottle of white Fairmont branded wine! Pretty stoked on that.

Anyway, hope today pans out better than it started!

miss everyone
